Monitoring histological changes in oral mucosa using AgNORs as biomarkers for oxygenic stress in smokers and COPD patients
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: It is well known that tobacco smoke causes cellular proliferation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but changes in buccal mucosa cells in smokers and COPD patients remains unknown. Aims: The aim of this study is twofold: (i) to assess the effect of smoking on cellular proliferative activity of buccal mucosa in healthy smokers and in smoking COPD patients (ii) to detect early cellular proliferative activity in buccal mucosa. Our hypothesis is that tobacco smoking induces changes in buccal mucosa cells that we can detect using AgNOR analysis.
