Chronic E-Cigarette Exposure Alters Human Alveolar Macrophage Morphology and Gene Expression
13 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are lung-resident immune cells that phagocytose inhaled particles and pathogens, and help coordinate the lung's immune response to infection. Little is known about the impact of chronic e-cigarette use (ie, vaping) on this important pulmonary cell type. Thus, we determined the effect of vaping on AM phenotype and gene expression.
