Secretion of the endoplasmic reticulum stress protein, GRP78, into the BALF is increased in cigarette smokers

Abstract Background Identification of biomarkers of cigarette smoke –induced lung damage and early COPD is an area of intense interest. Glucose regulated protein of 78 kD (i.e., GRP78), a multi-functional protein which mediates cell responses to oxidant stress, is increased in the lungs of cigarette...
