To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to demonstrate CNPase expression in the upper airway epithelium of CRSwNP, CRSsNP, and non-CRS patients and point out a putative synergy between CNPase and TGFβ1/Smad signalling in CRS pathogenesis that emerges as a novel still undiscovered aspect of CRS pathogenesis; further studies are needed to explore its function in the course of the chronic inflammation of the upper airways. Here, CNP is linked to chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
