Inflammatory and repair serum biomarker pattern. Association to clinical outcomes in COPD

Abstract: BackgroundThe relationship between serum biomarkers and clinical expressions of COPD is limited. We planned to further describe this association using markers of inflammation and injury and repair.MethodsWe studied lung function, comorbidities, exercise tolerance, BODE index, and quality of life in 253 COPD patients and recorded mortality over three years. Serum levels of Interleukins 6,8 and16, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α) [inflammatory panel], vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix meta… Show more

“…In another study, an increased level of TNF-a and IL-8 in COPD patients, compared to healthy smokers was not shown [18]. Whereas Pinto-Plata demonstrated that TNF-a and IL-6 levels increase with COPD severity of [19]. Engström et al showed a negative correlation between concentration of CCL16 protein and the degree of hyperinflation measured with RV/TLC, whereas in patients with FEV 1 %FVC < 0.7, a negative correlation between CRP and FEV 1 , FVC, RV/TLC and DLCO was found [19].…”

“…PARC was shown to be elevated in COPD patients when compared to healthy smoking controls [66,73] , and an association between the levels of PARC and body mass index, FEV 1 , BODE index, and exacerbation rate was observed [24] . However, in later work only a statistically relevant association with the BODE index was reconfirmed [72] . Furthermore, elevated blood PARC levels have been associated with a higher risk of mortality and exacerbation episodes in COPD patients [86][87][88] .…”

“…Accumulating evidence indicates that chronic inflammatory and immune responses play key roles in the development and progression of COPD [60,61] . In this respect, most of the potential biomarkers included in our list are proteins involved in inflammation or the immune response such as CRP, IL-6, beta defensin 2, among many others [25][26][27]29,36,37,54,[62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] . One of the main causes leading to COPD is chronic smoking which exposes the respiratory tract to reactive oxygen species, resulting in oxidative stress and injury (which in the last instance leads also to inflammation) [59,75] .…”
