Role of Cigarette Smoke–Induced Aggresome Formation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease–Emphysema Pathogenesis
9 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure is known to induce proteostasis imbalance that can initiate accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins. Therefore, the primary goal of this study was to determine if first- and secondhand CS induces localization of ubiquitinated proteins in perinuclear spaces as aggresome bodies. Furthermore, we sought to determine the mechanism by which smoke-induced aggresome formation contributes to...
