Association between fibroblast growth factor 7 and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract: Aim: Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) is involved in a number of physiological and pathological processes, including lung disease. However, relatively little is known about the effect of FGF7 gene polymorphisms on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) susceptibility. This study aimed to investigate the association between FGF7 polymorphisms with COPD susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 279 COPD patients and 367 age-and gender-distribution-matched co… Show more

“…General characteristics of the subjects The baseline characteristics, the biochemical features and the results of the pulmonary function tests of the subjects in this study have been reported in our previous articles [12,21,22] and are presented in supplementary Table S2. All patients had FEV1 values <80% of predicted, and thus were diagnosed with moderate to severe COPD according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease [23] (classification of severity: mild=FEV1≥80% of predicted; moderate=FEV1≥50% to <80% of predicted; severe=FEV1≥30% to <50% of predicted; and very severe=FEV1<30% of predicted).…”

“…As described previously [23], 279 patients with COPD and 367 age-matched non-COPD control subjects were recruited for this study. The subjects in both groups were unrelated ethnic Han Chinese individuals recruited from Chengdu city or surrounding regions in the Sichuan province of western China.…”

“…e potential of KGF to protect epithelial and mucosal tissues was indicated by its action of reducing the severity of mucositis after chemoradiotherapy. Although the beneficial mechanism of KGF in mucositis is generally attributed to protecting the integrity of the epithelial barrier, Gardner and colleagues believed since infection was the central pathogenesis of the disease that KGF may have antibacterial effects [13,51].…”
