AbstractBackground: Lung fibroblasts are crucial structural cells involved in airway remodelling and tissue maintenance. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on primary human lung fibroblasts cultures at different time points of proliferation in order to assess if a first exposure exerted a protective effect on a subsequent exposure. Methods: We examined the effect of CSE on fibroblasts isolated from 15 donors who had undergone lung surgery.
