Cigarette smoke-induced RANKL expression enhances MMP-9 production by alveolar macrophages

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cigarette smoke (CS) induces alveolar destruction through overproduction of proteinases including matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 by alveolar macrophages (AMs). Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) functions in immune regulation and cytokine secretion; whet...
