Smad gene expression in pulmonary fibroblasts: indications for defective ECM repair in COPD
BACKGROUND: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by defective extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover as a result of prolonged cigarette smoking. Fibroblasts have a central role in ECM turnover. The TGFβ induced Smad pathway provides intracellular signals to regulate ECM product...
