PECAM EMPs regulate apoptosis in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells in COPD by activating the Akt signaling pathway

Introduction Endothelial microparticles (EMPs) are partly associated with the progress of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We sought to measure the levels of EMPs in COPD patients and in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) exposed to cigarette smoking extract (CSE)...
