Expression data from ECRSwNP, non-ECRSwNP and control (miRNA)

Primarily on the basis of the absence or presence of nasal polyps (NPs)Chronic Rhinosinusitis(CRS) is often classified as CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). CRSwNP remains a signifificant public health problem with a considerable socioeconomic burden. The previous research reported that the pathophysiology of CRSwNP is a complex multifactorial disease. There have been many studies on its etiology, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. Dysregulated expression of miRNAs has been shown in psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, pulmonary fibrosis, and allergic asthma. CircRNA is also involved in the inflammatory diseases, such as in rheumatoid arthritis, septic acute kidney injury, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, epsis-induced liver damage and so on. Especially, the function of miRNA is research hotspots, including in CRSwNP. While, the study on circRNA in CRSwNP is still unknown. Additionally, according to the different percentage of eosinophil, CRSwNP was further divided into eosinophilic CRSwNP (ECRSwNP) and non-ECRSwNP. However, little is known about the functions of circRNAs and miRNAs in CRSwNP. The study is aimed to investigate the expression of circular RNA (circRNA) and microRNA (miRNAs) in CRSwNP and control group, to conform whether these molecules are related with the occurrence and development of CRSwNP. We aimed to compare the microarray expression profile of miRNAs and circRNAs in nasal polyps of CRSwNP and normal nasal mucosa from control subjects. 9 nasal mucosas were collected , including 3 ECRSwNP, 3 non-ECRSwNP and 3 control, for genomic microarray analysis of circRNA and microRNA expression. All tissue samples were from patients who were undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery in our department
