Patterns of airway inflammation and MMP-12 expression in smokers and ex-smokers with COPD
BACKGROUND: Smoking activates and recruits inflammatory cells and proteases to the airways. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-12 may be a key mediator in smoke induced emphysema. However, the influence of smoking and its cessation on airway inflammation and MMP-12 expression during COPD is still unknow...
