Chronic Cigarette Smoke Exposure Subdues PP2A Activity by Enhancing Expression of the Oncogene CIP2A
16 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Phosphatase activity of the major serine threonine phosphatase, protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), is blunted in the airways of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which results in heightened inflammation and proteolytic responses. The objective of this study was to investigate how PP2A activity is modulated in COPD airways. PP2A activity and endogenous inhibitors of PP2A were investigated...
