CD147 and MUC5AC expression in airways in the lung specimens. Photomicrographs of brown staining show the expression of CD147 in non-smokers (a), smokers without COPD (b) and smokers with COPD (c). Photomicrographs of brown staining show MUC5AC secretion in non-smokers (d), smokers without COPD (e) and smokers with COPD (f). Scale bars = 50 μm. Integrated optical density (IOD)/area represents the expression of CD147 (g) and MUC5AC (h). #p < 0.05, compared with non-smokers, ##p < 0.05, compared with smokers without COPD. *p < 0.05, compared with non-smokers, **p < 0.05, compared with smokers without COPD
