“…Contrary to our expectations, CSE increased VEGF release from bronchial epithelial cells in this study. CSE-induced VEGF release was also observed in human lung fibroblast, suggesting that it is not cell type-specific (27). Then, considering the increased VEGF release from epithelial cells by CSE, how does VEGF downregulation occur in the lung parenchyma of COPD patients?…”

“…Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) treatment significantly induces interleukin-8 (IL-8) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) production and profoundly suppresses the proliferation and growth of erythroid and granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (6). Stimulation with CSE in human lung fibroblast cells induces the expression of phosphorylated Smad3, a main downstream target of the TGF-β1 receptor, which results in the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (7). CSE increases the migratory and invasive activity of ovarian cancer cells and induces the expression of the EMT-related transcriptional factors Snail and Slug (8).…”

“…CSE was prepared from Daqingshan cigarettes (Tar: 12.5, Hohhot Cigarette Factory, Hohhot, China; model group) as previously described [15]. A 1 cm cigarette without lter was combusted with a variable speed pump (Thermo Fisher Scienti c, Waltham, MA, USA).…”
