Cigarette smoke extract enhances neutrophil elastase-induced IL-8 production via proteinase-activated receptor-2 upregulation in human bronchial epithelial cells
Lung disease: How cigarette smoking enhances lung inflammation A study of the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on lung lining cells clarifies the interaction between CSE and an enzyme implicated in causing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The enzyme elastase is released by neutro...
