Enhanced levels of prostaglandin E2 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 correlate with the severity of airflow limitation in stable COPD

Background and objective: Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) and its product prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) have been demonstrated to play critical roles in inflammation in respiratory diseases. However, the role of COX‐2 in airway remodelling in COPD remains to be elucidated. Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) is...
