Research Article: LncRNA RP-C. Inhibits Cigarette Smoke Extract-Induced Apoptosis in A Cells by Targeting BMF Signaling
Introduction:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable respiratory disease but is incurable. Cigarette smoke (CS) remains the most common and important environmental risk factor for COPD. , Smoking-mediated oxidative stress or inflammatory responses triggered by smoking can cause lung tissue damage. It has been proposed that COPD develops and progresses due to increased apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary vascular endothelial cells, resulting in lung damage. , However, the…
