The abnormal inflammatory response of the lung, mainly to cigarette smoke, causes multiple cellular and structural changes affecting all of its compartments, which leads to disease progression. The molecular mechanisms underlying these pathological changes are still not fully understood The aim of this study was to identify genes and molecular pathways potentially involved in the pathogenesis of COPD Peripheral lung tissue samples from moderate COPD patients, smokers and nonsmokers were obtained. All patients were undergoing lung resection for localized carcinomas. RNA was extracted and processed for further hybridization on Affymetrix microarrayshttp://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-37768http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-37768/samples/
