Role of aberrant metalloproteinase activity in the pro-inflammatory phenotype of bronchial epithelium in COPD

BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoke, the major risk factor for COPD, is known to activate matrix metalloproteinases in airway epithelium. We investigated whether metalloproteinases, particularly A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAM)17, contribute to increased pro-inflammatory epithelial responses with...
