Abstract:ObjectiveTissue remodeling is a major factor in the pathogenesis of CRS (Chronic Rhinosinusitis, CRS), The generation and degradation disorder of extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important feature of CRS tissue remodeling. The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in tissue remodeling were different between the two phenotypic CRS with and without polyps (CRSwNP) and CRSsNP. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can degrade most components of ECM. MMPs. And the balance between MMPs and TIMPs (tissue metalloproteinase inhibitors,TIMPs)of endogenous inhibitors is a major determinant of ECM metabolism. Their imbalance will be involved in the mechanism of CRS tissue remodeling by influencing ECM metabolism, which will promote the progression of CRS disease. It will provide a theoretical basis for CRS prognosis evaluation and drug therapeutic targets.
