DNA Methylation of Proximal PLAT Promoter in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps
2 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background Nasal polyps (NP) are characterized by pseudocysts derived from stromal tissue edema and cause persistent infections in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). A low level of tissue-type plasminogen activator (gene name PLAT) is considered a cause of stromal tissue edema because of insufficient plasmin activation in NP; however, the mechanism regulating PLAT gene expression levels is still unclear....
