Alveolar enlargement is a pathological feature of emphysema. Long-term exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) is a high-risk factor for the development of emphysema. Abnormal protein ubiquitination has been implicated to regulate the development of human disorders, however, the role of protein ubiquitination in emphysema has not been well-studied. In this study, we attempted to investigate if a deubiquitinase, USP13, regulates the development of emphysema. Under a mild CS exposure condition, USP13-deficient mice show significant increases in alveolar chor
