TranscriptomicsThreshold of Biologic Response of the Small Airway Epithelium to Low Levels of Tobacco Smoke
Background: Healthy individuals exposed to low levels of cigarette smoke have a decrement in lung function and higher risk for lung disease compared to unexposed individuals. We hypothesized that healthy individuals exposed to low levels of tobacco smoke must have biologic changes in the small airwa...

TranscriptomicsAltered Expression of Intraflagellar Transport Genes is Associated with Short Cilia in Smoking and COPD
Study Smoking and COPD are associated with decreased mucociliary clearance and healthy smokers have shorter cilia in the large airway than nonsmokers. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is the process by which cilia are produced and maintained. We assessed expression of IFT-related genes in smokers and ...

TranscriptomicsPersistence of Smoking-induced Dysregulation of Small Airway Epithelium miRNA Expression Despite Smoking Cessation
Rationale: Even after quitting smoking, the risk of the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer remains significantly higher compared to never-smokers. Objectives: Based on the knowledge that COPD and most lung cancers start in the small airway epithelium (SAE), w...
