“…Given current clinical practice in the treatment of COPD, it should be emphasized that our study forwards no evidence that treatment with a glucocorticoid receptor agonist and/or a ␤-adrenoreceptor agonist can prevent the IL-16 release caused by the water-soluble components of tobacco smoke in human CD8 ϩ cells. These experimental observations are also compatible with the clinical experience that neither of these drug classes has been proven to substantially alter the clinical progression of COPD (6,23,30).…”

“…Most of IL-17a is secreted by memory T cells during the induction of inflammatory responses. 32 , 33 In the lungs, IL-17a plays a key role in the onset of COPD by stimulating the growth of fibroblasts and endothelial cells in the airways. IL-17a can also promote the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 to impair lung tissues in the onset of COPD and chronic airway inflammation.…”
