Surfactant protein B detection and gene expression in chronic rhinosinusitis.
- Surfactant protein (SP)-B is a hydrophobic protein secreted within pulmonary surfactant that facilitates the adsorption of surface-active lipids to the air-liquid interface of the alveoli and increases alveolar stability. SP-B may also have anti-inflammatory properties. It is implicated in decreasing the pulmonary inflammatory response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide. However, the expression and function of SP-B in the sinonasal cavities has not been elucidated. Our objective was to detect the presence of SP-B, measure alterations in several forms of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and localize cellular protein expression.
