Periostin, a matrix protein, is a novel biomarker for idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

Abstract: Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) are histopathologically classified into several types, including usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and cryptogenic organising pneumonia (COP). We investigated whether periostin, a matrix protein, could be used as a biomarker to assess histopathological types of IIPs.We performed immunohistochemical analyses in each histopathological type of IIP, examined serum levels of periostin in IIP patients and analysed the relationship … Show more

“…However, periostin, an-other IL-13 target gene, is strongly induced by IL-13 stimulation in stromal cells. Periostin is highly expressed in lung tissue and peripheral blood of IPF patients and, similar to CCL18, has been shown to be associated with decreased lung function and poor prognosis in IPF (35). Under conditions in which IL-13Ra2 is highly expressed, fibroblasts have decreased sensitivity to IL-13, which can be overcome by increasing doses of IL-13.…”

“…Future studies should also consider whether sLOXL2, along with other promising prognostic IPF biomarkers (e.g. matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)1, MMP7, KL-6, periostin, surfactant protein-A and D, CC chemokine ligand 18, vascular endothelial growth factor and YKL-40) [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], as well as prognostic scores [30,31] and radiological modalities [32], might have prognostic value for helping physicians and patients anticipate the patient's IPF disease progression. This might include evaluation of serially collected sLOXL2 levels and their relationship to IPF acute exacerbations, which represent a terminal event for many IPF patients [33].…”

“…A recent study (31) found that serum levels of periostin were significantly higher in patients with IPF than in healthy volunteers and patients with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP). Furthermore, periostin levels were inversely correlated with patients' pulmonary function.…”
