Abstract Background Smoking is the most important cause for the development of COPD. Since not all smokers develop COPD it is obvious that other factors must be involved in disease development. We hypothesize that heme oxygenase-1 HO-1 a protective enzyme against oxidative stress and inflammation is insufficiently upregulated in COPD. The effects of HO-1 modulation on cigarette smoke induced inflammation and emphysema were tested in
