ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the relationship between the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in nasal polyp (NP) tissues and the role of MCP-1 in the formation of nasal polyps.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty nasal polyp tissues obtained from NP patients were used to detect the expression of MCP-1 and VEGF at the levels of protein and mRNA by immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization assay. Twenty-five inferior turbinate (IT) samples obtained from chronic rhinitis patients were used as control.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of MCP-1 and VEGF was higher in NP tissue than in IT at protein and mRNA levels (P <0.01). The expression of these two cytokines was positively correlated(r = 0.871, P <0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>MCP-1 and VEGF were involved in the formation of nasal polyps.</p>
