Figure 3

Protein quantification by western blotting. Smokers with CRS and asthma (samples 1 & 2) had higher levels of MMP-1 (a,b) and MMP-9 (a,c) expression than those of non-smokers with CRS and asthma (samples 3 & 4) as well as non-smokers asthma without CRS (sample 5 & 6). There was no difference in MMP-12 expression between the groups (d). The grouping of blots cropped from different gels of the same patients. The significance is indicated.
