Cigarette smoke and lipopolysaccharide induce a proliferative airway smooth muscle phenotype
BACKGROUND: A major feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is airway remodelling, which includes an increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass. The mechanisms underlying ASM remodelling in COPD are currently unknown. We hypothesized that cigarette smoke (CS) and/or lipopolysaccharide...
