Reactive Oxygen Species in Peripheral Blood and Sputum Neutrophils During Bacterial and Nonbacterial Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: Chronic airway inflammation can be mediated by an enhanced neutrophil oxidative burst. However, the role of bacteria in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations is highly controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in peripheral blood and sputum neutrophils during bacterial and nonbacterial acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). A total of 40 patients with AECOPD, 10 healthy nonsmokers, and 10 "healthy" smokers were e… Show more

“…ROS are known to cause damage in biological systems, including within settings of chronic inflammation [147], and are linked to ageing as described by the free radical theory of ageing [148]. Neutrophils have enhanced ROS responses in patients with COPD, especially with bacterially induced exacerbations [149,150]. Raised markers of oxidative stress have been identified in the sputum and plasma of patients with COPD, related to increased ROS and also decreased antioxidant activity [151].…”

“…Blood neutrophils also show an altered pattern of activity in the stable state in COPD, with impaired chemotaxis and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production [1416]. Evidence of further systemic immune dysregulation occurs during exacerbations with circulating neutrophils displaying up-regulation of inflammation-related genes, enhanced expression of cell adhesion molecules and elevated production of elastase and ROS [1720]. Despite an abundance of data supporting the hypothesis that neutrophils are key effector cells in the development and progression of COPD [13], we could find no studies assessing blood neutrophil function of COPD patients according to exacerbation history.…”

“…16,22 Viatkus and colleagues reported that increased ROS production of peripheral blood and sputum-derived neutrophils among COPD were associated with the exacerbation of COPD. 23,24 Although plenty of data suggest that tobacco use is one of the main factors contributing to COPD and respiratory tract inflammation, approximately 20% of smokers developed disease. [2][3][4] This work aims to determine the phenotypic change of circulating neutrophils, including intracellular ROS and phagocytosis among different tobacco consumption smokers compared to COPD patients.…”

“…The quantity of ROS was traced using 2´,7´-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA). 16,23 Briefly, polymorphonuclear cells were removed from heparinized blood by density gradient centrifugation (Isoprep TM ). Neutrophils were collected by 3% dextran sedimentation.…”
