Quantitative differentiation of dendritic cells in lung tissues of smokers with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
5
TL;DRAbstract
The quantity of DCs significantly increased in smokers with COPD compared with non-smokers or smokers without COPD. The results suggest that DCs may play an important role in the pathogenesis of smoking-induced COPD, and the upregulation of DCs may be a potential maker to identify the smokers who have more liability to suffer from COPD.
