The Mediating Roles of Lung Function Traits and Inflammatory Factors on the Associations between Measures of Obesity and Risk of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: A Mendelian Randomization Study. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:1882. [PMID: 39337223 PMCID: PMC11431809 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12181882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2024] [Revised: 09/14/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying mediators between obesity-related traits and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) would inform preventive and therapeutic strategies to reduce the burden of LRITs. We aimed to recognize whether lung function and inflammatory factors mediate their associations. METHODS We conducted a two-step, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Two-sample MR was performed on (1) obesity-related traits (i.e., body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], and waist-to-hip ratio [WHR]) and LRTIs (i.e., acute bronchitis, acute bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, influenza, and pneumonia), (2) obesity-related traits and potential mediators, and (3) potential mediators and LRTIs. Next, two-step MR was applied to infer whether the mediation effects exist. RESULTS We found that C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) mediated 32.59% (95% CI: 17.90%, 47.27%), 7.96% (95% CI: 1.79%, 14.14%), and 4.04% (95% CI: 0.34%, 7.74%) of the effect of BMI on pneumonia, and they mediated 26.90% (95% CI: 13.98%, 39.83%), 10.23% (95% CI: 2.72%, 17.73%), and 4.67% (95% CI: 0.25%, 9.09%) of the effect of WC on pneumonia, respectively. Additionally, CRP, forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1 mediated 18.66% (95% CI: 8.70%, 28.62%), 8.72% (95% CI: 1.86%, 15.58%), and 8.41% (95% CI: 2.77%, 14.06%) of the effect of BMI on acute bronchitis, and they mediated 19.96% (95% CI: 7.44%, 32.48%), 12.19% (95% CI: 2.00%, 22.39%), and 12.61% (95% CI: 2.94%, 22.29%) of the effect of WC on acute bronchitis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Health interventions linked to reducing inflammation and maintaining normal lung function could help mitigate the risk of obesity-related LRTIs.

Qing L, Wu W. The mechanism of geniposide in patients with COVID-19 and atherosclerosis: A pharmacological and bioinformatics analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e39065. [PMID: 39093733 PMCID: PMC11296471 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000039065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
In patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (which causes coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]), oxidative stress (OS) is associated with disease severity and death. OS is also involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). Previous studies have shown that geniposide has anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties, and can protect cells against OS. However, the potential target(s) of geniposide in patients with COVID-19 and AS, as well as the mechanism it uses, are unclear. We combined pharmacology and bioinformatics analysis to obtain geniposide against COVID-19/AS targets, and build protein-protein interaction network to filter hub genes. The hub genes were performed an enrichment analysis by ClueGO, including Gene Ontology and KEGG. The Enrichr database and the target microRNAs (miRNAs) of hub genes were predicted through the MiRTarBase via Enrichr. The common miRNAs were used to construct the miRNAs-mRNAs regulated network, and the miRNAs' function was evaluated by mirPath v3.0 software. Two hundred forty-seven targets of geniposide were identified in patients with COVID-19/AS comorbidity by observing the overlap between the genes modulated by geniposide, COVID-19, and AS. A protein-protein interaction network of geniposide in patients with COVID-19/AS was constructed, and 27 hub genes were identified. The results of enrichment analysis suggested that geniposide may be involved in regulating the OS via the FoxO signaling pathway. MiRNA-mRNA network revealed that hsa-miR-34a-5p may play an important role in the therapeutic mechanism of geniposide in COVID-19/AS patients. Our study found that geniposide represents a promising therapy for patients with COVID-19 and AS comorbidity. Furthermore, the target genes and miRNAs that we identified may aid the development of new treatment strategies against COVID-19/AS.

J Transl Med 2024; 22:392. [PMID: 38685026 PMCID: PMC11057084 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-04928-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence links a close correlation between long-term exposure to air pollutants and autoimmune diseases, while the causality remained unknown. METHODS Two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) was used to investigate the role of PM10, PM2.5, NO2, and NOX (N = 423,796-456,380) in 15 autoimmune diseases (N = 14,890-314,995) using data from large European GWASs including UKB, FINNGEN, IMSGC, and IPSCSG. Multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) was conducted to investigate the direct effect of each air pollutant and the mediating role of common factors, including body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption, smoking status, and household income. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), two-step MR, and colocalization analyses were performed to explore underlying mechanisms between air pollution and autoimmune diseases. RESULTS In TSMR, after correction of multiple testing, hypothyroidism was causally associated with higher exposure to NO2 [odds ratio (OR): 1.37, p = 9.08 × 10-4] and NOX [OR: 1.34, p = 2.86 × 10-3], ulcerative colitis (UC) was causally associated with higher exposure to NOX [OR: 2.24, p = 1.23 × 10-2] and PM2.5 [OR: 2.60, p = 5.96 × 10-3], rheumatoid arthritis was causally associated with higher exposure to NOX [OR: 1.72, p = 1.50 × 10-2], systemic lupus erythematosus was causally associated with higher exposure to NOX [OR: 4.92, p = 6.89 × 10-3], celiac disease was causally associated with lower exposure to NOX [OR: 0.14, p = 6.74 × 10-4] and PM2.5 [OR: 0.17, p = 3.18 × 10-3]. The risky effects of PM2.5 on UC remained significant in MVMR analyses after adjusting for other air pollutants. MVMR revealed several common mediators between air pollutants and autoimmune diseases. Transcriptional analysis identified specific gene transcripts and pathways interconnecting air pollutants and autoimmune diseases. Two-step MR revealed that POR, HSPA1B, and BRD2 might mediate from air pollutants to autoimmune diseases. POR pQTL (rs59882870, PPH4=1.00) strongly colocalized with autoimmune diseases. CONCLUSION This research underscores the necessity of rigorous air pollutant surveillance within public health studies to curb the prevalence of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Clinical data mining of predictive models offers significant advantages for re-evaluating and leveraging large amounts of complex clinical real-world data and experimental comparison data for tasks such as risk stratification, diagnosis, classification, and survival prediction. However, its translational application is still limited. One challenge is that the proposed clinical requirements and data mining are not synchronized. Additionally, the exotic predictions of data mining are difficult to apply directly in local medical institutions. Hence, it is necessary to incisively review the translational application of clinical data mining, providing an analytical workflow for developing and validating prediction models to ensure the scientific validity of analytic workflows in response to clinical questions. This review systematically revisits the purpose, process, and principles of clinical data mining and discusses the key causes contributing to the detachment from practice and the misuse of model verification in developing predictive models for research. Based on this, we propose a niche-targeting framework of four principles: Clinical Contextual, Subgroup-Oriented, Confounder- and False Positive-Controlled (CSCF), to provide guidance for clinical data mining prior to the model's development in clinical settings. Eventually, it is hoped that this review can help guide future research and develop personalized predictive models to achieve the goal of discovering subgroups with varied remedial benefits or risks and ensuring that precision medicine can deliver its full potential.

COVID-19 fatality and DALYs, and associated metabolic disorders and ambient air pollutants in pre-Omicron era of the pandemic: an international comparative study. Environ Health Prev Med 2024; 29:24. [PMID: 38599849 PMCID: PMC11016372 DOI: 10.1265/ehpm.23-00350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Air pollution and a number of metabolic disorders have been reported to increase the risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes. This study explored the association between severe COVID-19 outcomes, metabolic disorders and environmental air pollutants, at regional level, across 38 countries. METHODS We conducted an ecological study using COVID-19 data related to countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with an estimated population of 1.4 billion. They were divided into 3 regions: 1. Europe & Middle east; 2. Americas (north, central & south America); 3. East-Asia & West Pacific. The outcome variables were: COVID-19 case-fatality rate (CFR) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) at regional level. Freely accessible datasets related to regional DALYs, demographics and other environmental pollutants were obtained from OECD, WHO and the World in Data websites. Generalized linear model (GLM) was performed to determine the regional determinants of COVID-19 CFR and DALYs using the aggregate epidemiologic data (Dec. 2019-Dec. 2021). RESULTS Overall cumulative deaths were 65,000 per million, for mean CFR and DALYs of 1.31 (1.2)% and 17.35 (2.3) years, respectively. Globally, GLM analysis with adjustment for elderly population rate, showed that COVID-19 CFR was positively associated with atmospheric PM2.5 level (beta = 0.64(0.0), 95%CI: 0.06-1.35; p < 0.05), diabetes prevalence (beta = 0.26(0.1), 95%CI: 0.12-0.41; p < 0.001). For COVID-19 DALYs, positive associations were observed with atmospheric NOx level (beta = 0.06(0.0), 95%CI: 0.02-0.82; p < 0.05) and diabetes prevalence (beta = 0.32(0.2), 95%CI: 0.04-0.69; p < 0.05). At regional level, adjusted GLM analysis showed that COVID-19 CFR was associated with atmospheric PM2.5 level in the Americas and East-Asia & Western Pacific region; it was associated with diabetes prevalence for countries of Europe & Middle east and East-Asia & Western Pacific region. Furthermore, COVID-19 DALYs were positively associated with atmospheric PM2.5 and diabetes prevalence for countries of the Americas only. CONCLUSION These findings confirm that diabetes and air pollution increase the risk of disability and fatality due to COVID-19, with disparities in terms of their impact. They suggest that efficient preventive and management programs for diabetes and air pollution countermeasures would have curtailed severe COVID-19 outcome rates.

Persistent Endothelial Lung Damage and Impaired Diffusion Capacity in Long COVID. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1351.

Abstract
Since the beginning of the pandemic, both COVID-19-associated coagulopathy biomarkers and a plethora of endothelial biomarkers have been proposed and tested as prognostic tools of severity and mortality prediction. As the pandemic is gradually being controlled, attention is now focusing on the long-term sequelae of COVID-19. In the present study, we investigated the role of endothelial activation/dysfunction in long COVID syndrome. This observational study included 68 consecutive long COVID patients and a healthy age and sex-matched control group. In both groups, we measured 13 endothelial biomarkers. Moreover, in the long COVID patients, we evaluated fatigue and dyspnea severity, lung diffusion capacity (DLCO), and the 6-min walk (6MWT) test as measures of functional capacity. Our results showed that markers of endothelial activation/dysfunction were higher in long COVID patients, and that soluble intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) negatively correlated with lung diffusion and functional capacity (sICAM-1 vs. DLCO, r = -0.306, p = 0.018; vs. 6MWT, r = -0.263, p = 0.044; and sVCAM-1 vs. DLCO, r= -0.346, p = 0.008; vs. 6MWT, r = -0.504, p < 0.0001). In conclusion, evaluating endothelial biomarkers alongside clinical tests might yield more specific insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of long COVID manifestations.
