Abstract
Pulmonary emphysema is characterized by alveolar wall destruction, and cigarette smoking is the main risk factor in this disease development. S100A8 is a member of the S100 protein family, with an oxidative stress-related and antiinflammatory role. The mechanisms of human alveolar type II (ATII) cell injury contributing to emphysema pathophysiology are not completely understood. We wanted to determine whether S100A8 can protect ATII cells...
