Changes in elastin, elastin binding protein and versican in alveoli in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

BACKGROUND: COPD is characterised by loss of alveolar elastic fibers and by lack of effective repair. Elastic fibers are assembled at cell surfaces by elastin binding protein (EBP), a molecular chaperone whose function can be reversibility inhibited by chondroitin sulphate of matrix proteoglycans su...
