Figure 5
Assessment of changes in cell proliferation and morphology in the FT of smokers.
A) Frequency of Ki67 positive cells in the FT of non-smokers (clear bars: n = 11) and smokers (filled bars: n = 10). B) Relative expression of Cyclin D1 transcripts within the FT of smokers and non smokers Expression of CCND1 in the FT of smokers and non smokers. C) Histoscore analysis of the degree of ‘epithelial blebbing’ in non-smokers compared to smokers. Observed differences are significant at * P<0.05. Gene expression was related to a G6PDH internal control.
