Microenvironmental stimuli induce different macrophage polarizations in experimental models of emphysema
1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Background: Macrophages play a pivotal role in the development of emphysema and depending on the microenvironment stimuli can be polarized into M1- or M2-like macrophage phenotypes. Aim: To compare macrophage polarizations in cigarette smoke (CS)- and porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE)-induced emphysema models. C57BL/6 mice were subdivided into four experimental groups. In the PPE group, animals received an...
