Nrf2 expression in study subjects. a Nrf2 mRNA expression in COPD subjects were significantly decreased compared with CTL subjects. b Nrf2 mRNA expression was significantly negatively correlated with pack-year. c Western blotting analysis of Nrf2 in bronchial epithelial cells in COPD and CTL subjects. d The blotting were normalized to β-actin and measured by densitometry. Nrf2 protein expression in COPD subjects were significantly decreased compared with CTL subjects. CTL: control
