Abstract

Inflammation of the airways and lung parenchyma plays a major role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In the present study a murine model of tobacco smoke-induced emphysema was used to investigate the time course of airway and pulmonary inflammatory response, with a special emphasis on pulmonary dendritic cell (DC) populations. Groups of mice were exposed to either cigarette smoke or to control air for up to 24 weeks. In response to cigarette smoke, inflammatory cells (i.e.neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes) progressively accumulated both in the airways and lung parenchyma of mice. Furthermore, a clear infiltration of DCs was observed in airways (10-fold increase) and lung parenchyma (1.5-fold increase) of cigarette-exposed mice at 24 weeks. Flow cytometric analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) DCs of smoke-exposed mice showed upregulation of major histocompatability complex II molecules and costimulatory molecules CD40 and CD86, compared with BAL DCs of air-exposed mice. Morphometric analysis of lung histology demonstrated a significant increase in mean linear intercept and alveolar wall destruction after 24 weeks of smoke exposure. In conclusion, the time course of the changes in inflammatory and dendritic cells in both bronchoalveolar lavage and the pulmonary compartment of cigarette smoke-exposed mice was carefully characterised.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
