Nasal polyposis is associated with epithelial TJP alterations. Further, the expression of TJPs in a model of inflamed respiratory mucosa is reduced in a similar fashion. Research on the histopathology of other epithelial inflammatory disorders suggests TJP alterations contribute to a self-perpetuating inflammatory state. Findings of this preliminary study support a similar process in nasal polyposis.
