Overnight desaturation in interstitial lung diseases: links to pulmonary vasculopathy and mortality. ERJ Open Res 2024; 10:00740-2023. [PMID: 38348245 PMCID: PMC10860199 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00740-2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Overnight desaturation predicts poor prognosis across interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether nocturnal desaturation is associated with pulmonary vasculopathy and mortality. Methods A retrospective single centre study of 397 new ILD patients was carried out including patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (n=107) and patients with non-IPF fibrotic ILD (n=290). This is the largest study to date of the effect of significant nocturnal desaturation (SND) (≥10% of total sleep time with oxygen saturation ≤90% measured by pulse oximetry). Results The prevalence of SND was 28/107 (26.2%) in IPF and 80/290 (27.6%) in non-IPF ILD. The prevalence of SND was higher in non-IPF ILDs than in IPF (p=0.025) in multivariate analysis. SND was associated with noninvasive markers of pulmonary hypertension (PH): tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) (p<0.0001), brain natriuretic peptide (p<0.007), carbon monoxide transfer coefficient (p<0.0001), A-a gradient (p<0.0001), desaturation >4% in 6-min walking test (p<0.03) and pulmonary artery diameter (p<0.005). SND was independently associated with high echocardiographic PH probability in the entire cohort (OR 2.865, 95% CI 1.486-5.522, p<0.002) and in non-IPF fibrotic ILD (OR 3.492, 95% CI 1.597-7.636, p<0.002) in multivariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, SND was associated with mortality in the entire cohort (OR 1.734, 95% CI 1.202-2.499, p=0.003) and in IPF (OR 1.908, 95% CI 1.120-3.251, p=0.017) and non-IPF fibrotic ILD (OR 1.663, 95% CI 1.000-2.819, p=0.041). Separate models with exclusion of each one of the diagnostic subgroups showed that no subgroup was responsible for this finding in non-IPF ILDs. SND was a stronger marker of 5-year mortality than markers of PH. Conclusion SND was associated with high echocardiographic probability and mortality and was a stronger predictor of mortality in IPF and non-IPF ILDs grouped together to power the study.

Prevalence and clinical impacts of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A single-center, retrospective study. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0291195. [PMID: 37751461 PMCID: PMC10522004 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0291195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease with chronic, progressive lung fibrosis with a poor prognosis. Recent studies have reported a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in IPF patients and an association with poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical effects on mortality of OSA in patients with IPF. METHODS Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 167 patients with IPF at Haeundae-Paik Hospital, Republic of Korea. A type 4 portable device was used to monitor OSA, and an apnea-hypopnea index of 5 events per sleep hour and above was diagnosed as OSA. RESULTS The mean follow-up period and age were 26.9 months and 71.4 years, respectively, with male predominance. OSA was confirmed in 108 patients (64.7%). Mild OSA was the most common (62.1%). Independent risk factors for OSA in the multivariate logistic regression analysis were age (odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.13, p = 0.007), body weight (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.09, p = 0.002), and risk based on the Berlin questionnaire (OR 2.76, 95% CI 1.12-6.80, p = 0.028). Shorter six-minute walk distance (6MWD) (hazard ratio [HR] 1.00, 95% CI: 1.00-1.00, p < 0.001), acute exacerbation (AE) (HR 13.83, 95% CI: 5.71-33.47, p < 0.001), and higher percentage of cumulative time with oxygen saturation below 90% in total sleep time (HR 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02-1.14, p = 0.007) were risk factors for mortality in IPF patients in the Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION Approximately two-thirds of the IPF patients had OSA. Older age, higher body weight, and high risk based on the Berlin questionnaire were independent risk factors for OSA in IPF patients. Shorter 6MWD, experience of AE, and night hypoxemia during sleep were associated with a higher risk of mortality in patients with IPF.

Intermittent hypoxia increases ROS/HIF-1α 'related oxidative stress and inflammation and worsens bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in adult male C57BL/6J mice.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been increasingly recognized as a risk factor for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The intermittent hypoxia (IH) and re-oxygenation of OSA contribute to poor outcomes of IPF, however, the potential mechanism remains unknown. Here, C57BL/6J mice were administered intratracheal injection of Bleomycin (BLM) or saline and then exposed to IH (alternating cycles of FiO2 21% for 60S and FiO2 10% for 30 s, 40 cycles/hour, 8 h/day) to mimic OSA or intermittent air (IA) for 4 days, 8 days or 21 days. This study found that pulmonary fibrosis in BLM + IH treated mice was more severe than that in BLM + IA group at day 8 and 21, but not observed at day 4. Besides, the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α),which are related to hypoxia reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, were higher in BLM + IH treated mice than BLM + IA mice, and IH increased these indexes in BLM treated mice from day 4 to day 21. Interestingly, a positive linear correlation between the HIF-1α expression and hydroxyproline (HYP) content was observed. We further found some inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were increased significantly from day 4 to 21, and there was a positive correlation between inflammation and ROS expression. Our results demonstrated that IH aggravated BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and ROS/HIF-1α related oxidative stress and inflammation involved. The increase of ROS/HIF-1α related oxidative stress and inflammation may be a potential mechanism of moderate-to-severe OSA in potentiating pulmonary fibrosis of IPF, which warrants further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In previous years, there was limited research related to the role of sleep in interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Physicians treating ILD patients tended to focus mainly on the daily disabling symptoms overlooking the possible significant role of coexisting sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, recently, there has been a growing interest in OSA in ILDs, as well as OSA effect on sleep, life quality and outcome in these patients with emphasis on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). RECENT FINDINGS OSA has been recognized as an important, high-prevalence comorbidity for the diagnosis and management of IPF. This publication provides a summary of the most relevant recent evidence with regard to OSA in various ILDs and especially IPF, including prevalence, clinical presentation, complications, screening and diagnosis. It also provides updated evidence on the role of OSA therapy in improving sleep, quality of life and disease outcome. SUMMARY It is too early to characterize OSA and ILDs association as an 'overlap' syndrome. In depth research is needed, including studies with large numbers of ILDs and IPF patients. The main priority is to increase the awareness among physicians for early diagnosis of OSA in ILDs patients.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common type of interstitial pneumonia but remains a disease with a poor outcome. Two drugs, pirfenidone and nintedanib, have shown promising results at stalling disease progression; however, the interplay of sleep disruption or sleep disorders overall and in relation to medication effectiveness remains understudied. In the past, there was limited interest in the role of sleep in patients with IPF. Treating physicians tended to address only the daily disabling symptoms while disregarding the possible significant role of sleep alterations or coexisting sleep disorders. During the past few years, there has been more research related to sleep disturbances in patients with IPF and their possible role in sleep and overall life quality, disease progression, and outcome. In summary, sleep in patients with IPF is significantly impaired, with alterations in sleep architecture, changes in sleep breathing pattern, and decreases in oxygen saturation mainly during vulnerable rapid eye movement sleep. There also is evidence that OSA has an increased prevalence in these patients, playing an important role in the already worse sleep quality related to the disease itself. The focus of this review is not only to present current data related to sleep in patients with IPF but also to point out that therapy for sleep problems and OSA is likely to improve sleep and life quality as well as disease outcome. The main priority remains to increase awareness among treating physicians about early diagnosis of OSA in patients with IPF and to emphasize the need for intense future research, especially on the role of intermittent hypoxia superimposed on chronic hypoxia during sleep in patients with IPF.

Abstract
Leptin and hypoxia are pro-fibrotic factors involved in fibrogenesis, however, the gene expression profiles remain to be fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the regulatory roles of leptin and hypoxia on the L929 mouse fibroblast cell line. The cells were assigned to a normoxia, normoxia with leptin, hypoxia, and hypoxia with leptin group. The cDNA expression was detected using an Agilent mRNA array platform. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to leptin and hypoxia were identified using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis, followed by clustering analysis, Gene Ontology analysis and pathway analysis. As a result, 54, 1,507 and 1,502 DEGs were found in response to leptin, hypoxia and the two combined, respectively, among which 52 (96.30%), 467 (30.99%) and 495 (32.96%) of the DEGs were downregulated. The most significant functional terms in response to leptin were meiosis I for biological process (P=0.0041) and synaptonemal complex for cell component (P=0.0013). Only one significant pathway responded to leptin, which was axon guidance (P=0.029). Flow cytometry confirmed that leptin promoted L929 cell proliferation. The most significant functional terms in response to hypoxia were ion binding for molecular function (P=7.8621E-05), glucose metabolic process for biological process (P=0.0008) and cell projection part for cell component (P=0.003). There were 12 pathways, which significantly responded to hypoxia (P<0.05) and the pathway with the highest significance was the chemokine signaling pathway (P=0.0001), which comprised 28 genes, including C-C motif ligand (CCL)1, C-X-C motif ligand (CXCL)9, CXCL10, son of sevenless homolog 1, AKT serine/threonine kinase 2, Rho-associated protein kinase 1, vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1, CCL17, arrestin β1 and C-C motif chemokine receptor 2. In conclusion, the present study showed that leptin and hypoxia altered the profiles of gene expression in L929 cells. These findings not only extend the cell spectrum of leptin on cell proliferation, but also improve current understanding of hypoxia in fibroblast cells.
