Comparison of Proteomic and Transcriptomic Profiles in the Bronchial Airway Epithelium of Current and Never Smokers
9 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although prior studies have demonstrated a smoking-induced field of molecular injury throughout the lung and airway, the impact of smoking on the airway epithelial proteome and its relationship to smoking-related changes in the airway transcriptome are unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Airway epithelial cells were obtained from never (n = 5) and current (n = 5) smokers by brushing the mainstem...
