Novel aspects of pathogenesis and regeneration mechanisms in COPD

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a major cause of death and morbidity worldwide, is characterized by expiratory airflow limitation that is not fully reversible, deregulated chronic inflammation, and emphysematous destruction of the lungs. Despite the fact that COPD is a steadily growing global healthcare problem, the conventional therapies remain palliative, and regenerative approaches for disease management are not available yet. We aim to provide an overview of key reviews, experimental, and cli… Show more

“…It has been proven that occupational exposure to VGDF can initiate a local inflammatory process in the airways 11) . In our study, the assessment of induced sputum revealed that IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MMP-9 are involved in a local inflammatory process in the airways of COPD patients although their serum concentrations were not increased.…”

“…e severity of COPD is of serious concern relative to the age of society, as the rate of occurrence is higher in older individuals than in younger individuals, and globally, the average age of societies is increasing. In particular, there are many opportunities through which people can come into contact with the COPD irritants, such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, and occupational dusts and fumes; subsequently, COPD onset in the pulmonary system is irreversible [6] and this disease leads to severe problems. At present, the drugs for COPD treatment, including bronchodilators and corticosteroids, have many adverse effects [19,20].…”

“…In December 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was the third most common cause of death globally, responsible for approximately 5% of total deaths [1]. Patients with COPD typically undergo changes in the respiratory system, such as neutrophil infiltration near bronchoalveolar spaces [2,3], mucous hypersecretion [4], fibrosis around the small airways [5], and alveolar wall destruction (emphysema) [6]; these changes can lead to gas exchange abnormalities, apnea, and, ultimately, death [7].…”

La IL-32/TNFα tiene un papel clave en la progresión de la respuesta inmune inflamatoria y obstrucción en la EPOC.…”
