8-Isoprostane as a marker of oxidative stress in nonsymptomatic cigarette smokers and COPD

Abstract: 8-Isoprostane is a potential in vivo marker for oxidant burden, but its usefulness in induced sputum of smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been investigated.The current study investigated 58 subjects comprising 11 never-smokers, 11 ex-smokers, 13 healthy current smokers and 23 COPD with stage 0-III disease (according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease criteria). 8-Isoprostane was determined from induced sputum by enzyme immunoassay.Sputum 8-isoprostane l… Show more

“…Moreover, a recent study could not detect any difference between sputum 8-isoprostane levels in mild asthmatics and healthy controls (Louhelainen et al 2008). Sputum 8-isoprostane levels are elevated in COPD and cigarette smokers, but do not clearly differentiate healthy smokers from symptomatic smokers, ie, those who are at risk for developing COPD (Kinnula et al 2007). No longitudinal studies have been conducted with this marker, making it diffi cult to draw any fi nal conclusions about its real signifi cance.…”

“…Sputum was induced, as described by the European RespiratorySociety Task Force, with 4.5% physiological saline solutiomn [18, 30] and samples processed as previously described [31, 32]. The whole-sputum sample technique was used for the processing of sputum.…”

“…A specific EIA (Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, Mich., USA) was used to assay free 8-isoprostane in induced sputum samples, as described previously [32], and EBC according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The assay was validated directly by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.…”

“…Compared with healthy chronic smokers and healthy nonsmokers, sputum PGE 2 has been reported elevated in current smokers with COPD, but not in COPD patients who were ex-smokers [11]. Sputum 15-F 2t -isoprostane concentrations were found elevated in patients with stable COPD as compared with healthy smokers, never-smokers and ex-smokers [12].…”
