Current Smoking is Associated with Decreased Expression of miR-335-5p in Parenchymal Lung Fibroblasts

Current Smoking is Associated with Decreased Expression of miR-335-5p in Parenchymal Lung Fibroblasts

Cigarette smoking causes lung inflammation and tissue damage. Lung fibroblasts play a major role in tissue repair. Previous studies have reported smoking-associated changes in fibroblast responses and methylation patterns. Our aim was to identify the effect of current smoking on miRNA expression in...
