Abstract

Persistent infection in the paranasal sinuses impairs sinus drainage and leads to bacterial chronic rhinosinusitis. Greater knowledge of the key molecules in the pathology will help to clarify the pathogenesis. Study of the gene expression profile and analysis of the associated pathway is important to identify key molecules. This study investigates the expression of different genes and analyzes the key pathway in the pathological process of bacterial chronic rhinosinusitis. Bacterial chronic rhinosinusitis was induced in mice using a Merocel nasal pack inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus. Three months of mucosa samples were collected for histological and ELISA analysis, and gene expression was tested using DNA microarray. Differentially expressed genes were selected and verified for pathway analysis. The nasal mucosa of mice with chronic rhinosinusitis showed epithelial damage and lamina propria edema in extra cellular matrix with obvious mucosal inflammation. A total of 6,018 genes in bacterial chronic rhinosinusitis group were differentially expressed compared with the control. Among them, plasma, coagulation factors, urokinase plasminogen activator and urokinase receptor plasminogen activator expression were increased. Following gene ontology analysis and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction, coagulation cascades associated cytokines were found to be upregulated in bacterial chronic rhinosinusitis. The present results suggest that, bacterial chronic rhinosinusitis showed severe mucosal inflammation and genes differential expression in the pathogenesis. In this process, the coagulation cascades pathways were upregulated.
