Comparison of proteomic and transcriptomic profiles in the bronchial airway epithelium of current and never smokers.

Although prior studies have demonstrated a smoking-induced field of molecular injury throughout the lung and airway, the impact of smoking on the airway epithelial proteome and its relationship to smoking-related changes in the airway transcriptome are unclear.Airway epithelial cells were obtained f...
