Cigarette Smoke Extract Inhibits Expression of Peroxiredoxin V and Increases Airway Epithelial Permeability

Inhaled cigarette smoke induces oxidative stress in the epithelium of airways. Peroxiredoxin V (PRXV) is a potent antioxidant protein, highly expressed in cells of the airway epithelium. The goal of our study was to determine whether cigarette smoke extract (CSE) influenced expression of this protei...
