Cigarette smoke (CS) induces alveolar destruction through overproduction of proteinases including matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 by alveolar macrophages (AMs). Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) functions in immune regulation and cytokine secretion; whether it is involved in CS-induced MMP-9 expression is unknown. The purpose of our study was to investigate the expression and functional role of RANKL pathway in MMP-9 production pertaining to the pathogenesis of COPD.
