Progression of Pulmonary Emphysema and Continued Increase in Ectodomain Shedding of Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 After Cessation of Cigarette Smoke Exposure in Mice

Pulmonary emphysema usually arises in cigarette smokers, and often progresses after smoking cessation and even in ex-smokers. Lung-epithelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1), an immunoglobulin superfamily member, is extracellularly shed to produce a proapoptotic C-terminal fragment (CTF) within the...
