The lymphatic vasculature is critical for lung function, but defects in lymphatic functionin the pathogenesis of lung disease is understudied. To further assess the contribution of lymphatics to the pathogenesis of lung emphysema we used a mouse model of cigarette smoke (CS)-induced emphysema, and analyzed lung lymphatics using immunohistochemistry, functional assays, and confocal microscopy. Additionally, we further harvested thoracic lymph from CS-exposed mice for proteomic analysis. In this presented section of our research, we highlight the label free quantitative DIA proteomics approaches used to profile the proteomic and peptidomics changes in the lymph from cigarette smoke (CS)-mice as compared with the lymph proteome from mice exposed to room air. Label free quantitative DIA proteomics analysis of lymph confirmed upregulation of coagulation and inflammatory pathways in the lymphatics of CS-exposed mice compared to control mice.
