Roflumilast N-Oxide Prevents Cytokine Secretion Induced by Cigarette Smoke Combined with LPS through JAK/STAT and ERK1/2 Inhibition in Airway Epithelial Cells

Cigarette smoke is a major cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airway epithelial cells and macrophages are the first defense cells against cigarette smoke and these cells are an important source of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These cytokines play a role in progressive airflow limi...
