Abstract:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease with high morbidity and mortality. Emphysema is one of the main pathological manifestations of COPD whose development was related to protease-antiprotease imbalance, oxidative stress, cell inflammation, cell apoptosis and so on. However, the pathogenesis and mechanism of progression of emphysema have not been fully clarified. The establishment of disease animal model provides an effective and practical experimental platform for further understanding its physiological and pathological mechanism. This article reviews the established animal models of emphysema, methods and related progresses based on previous researches.
