Özet

OBJECTIVES: Emphysema and chronic bronchitis have different pathophysiologies but both are significant components of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). The levels of Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in the bronchoalveloar lavage fluid (BALF) and in serum indicate the presence of emphysema. Intratracheal administration of elastase has been used to create a rat model of emphysema. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been postulated to prevent or reverse emphysema, however, this has not been examined in the rat model of elastase-induced emphysema.
