摘要
We investigated the effect. of chronic cigarette smoking on the expression of haem-oxygenase (HO)-1 and HO-2. Normal subjects and asymptomatic young current smokers with normal lung function tests underwent bronchoalveolar lavage for recovery of macrophages. Reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) analysis showed no significant difference in HO-1 and HO-2 mRNA expression between the two groups. On the other hand, Western blot analysis showed a significant (P<0.05) reduction of HO-2 protein, but not of HO-1, in alveolar macrophages from smokers compared to normal. There was no significant differences by immunocytochemistry for HO-1 and HO-2 expression between the groups. We concluded that HO-2 expression is reduced in alveolar macrophages of smokers, possibly due to the oxidative stress of cigarette smoke. This may in turn lead to reduced protection against further oxidative insults. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
