Transcriptomic Signatures and Functional Network Analysis of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps.

ABSTRACT: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic sinonasal inflammatory disease with limited treatment options of corticosteroids, sinus surgery, or both. CRSwNP is frequently associated with allergic rhinitis and asthma, but the molecular mechanisms underlying CRSwNP inflammation are not completely understood. We obtained four gene expression profiles (GSE136825, GSE36830, GSE23552, and GSE72713) from four Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), which collectively included 65 nasal polyp samples from CRSwNP patients and 54 nasal mucosal samples from healthy controls. Using an integrated analysis approach, we identified 76 co-differentially expressed genes (co-DEGs, including 45 upregulated and 31 downregulated) in CRSwNP patients compared with the healthy controls.
