Figure 4 Expression of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-4, and IL-5 in Eos CRSwNP patients with or without DEX treatment. (A–D) qRT-PCR results displayed after DEX treatment, the expression of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-4, and IL-5 were all significantly increased in Eos CRSwNP patients. * P<0.05; ** P<0.01. TNF – tumor necrosis factor; IL – interleukin; qRT-PCR – quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; DEX – dexamethasone; Eos CRSwNP – eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
