ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of vocal fold polyps and Reinke's edema.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique was adopted, mRNA levels of 9 proteins were measured in 12 vocal fold polyps, 2 Reinke's edema and 5 normal vocal folds (from total laryngectomy).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The results showed that in the vocal fold polyps, mRNA levels of collagenase and fibromodulin descended and levels of fibronectin increased (P < 0.05). mRNA levels of lysyl oxidase and hyaluronic acid synthase 2 had no statistic difference between lesions and normal vocal folds (P > 0.05). mRNA express of tropoelastin exon, elastase and hyaluronidase was positive in part of lesion tissue and positive in all normal vocal folds. mRNA of procollagen I was negative in both groups. In the Reinke's edema, mRNA express of fibronectin was close to vocal fold polyps and mRNA express of fibromodulin was close to normal vocal folds.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>It was speculated phonation trauma and vocal fold restoring to trauma played an important role in pathogenic mechanism. Fibromodulin and fibronectin were two components involved in the disorders.</p>
