Influence of Age, Past Smoking, and Disease Severity on TLR2, Neutrophilic Inflammation, and MMP-9 Levels in COPD
Figure 6
Release of inflammatory mediators from mononuclear cells and granulocytes isolated from patients with COPD. (a) CXCL8 release from mononuclear cells, (b) IL-6 release from mononuclear cells, (c) IL-1β release from mononuclear cells, (d) TNF- release from mononuclear cells, (e) CXCL8 release from granulocytes, (f) IL-6 release from granulocytes, (g) MMP-9 release from granulocytes, and (h) NE release from granulocytes.
