Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary macrophages from COPD patients are characterized by lower phagocytic and bactericidal activity whereas there is hypersecretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The prominent decline of GATA2 expression in pulmonary macrophages from COPD patients inspired us to figure out its role during COPD development. The expression levels of GATA2 were decreased in alveolar macrophages isolated from cigarette smoke...
