Kim BG, Shin SH, Lee SK, Kim SH, Lee H. Risk of incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during longitudinal follow-up in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease. Respir Res 2024; 25:333. [PMID: 39252048 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-024-02963-3] [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: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2023 revision proposed that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has various etiologies including infections (COPD-I), such as tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus. While nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) and pulmonary tuberculosis share similar clinical manifestations, research on COPD development during longitudinal follow-up in patients with NTM-PD is limited. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk of COPD development in patients with NTM-PD. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with NTM-PD with normal lung function and 1:4 age-, sex-, body mass index-, and smoking status-matched controls between November 1994 and January 2022. We compared the risks of spirometry-defined COPD between the NTM-PD and control groups (study 1). A nationwide cohort study using the health insurance claims database was conducted to validate the findings (study 2). RESULTS In study 1, during a mean follow-up of 3.3 years, COPD occurred in 14.0% (241/1,715) and 4.3% (293/6,860) of individuals in the NTM-PD and matched control cohorts, respectively. The NTM-PD cohort exhibited a higher risk of incident COPD (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.57; 95% CI, 2.15-3.09) compared to matched controls. In study 2, COPD occurred in 6.2% (24/386) and 2.5% (28/1,133) of individuals with and without NTM-PD, respectively. The NTM-PD cohort had a higher risk of incident COPD (aHR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.21-3.42) compared to matched controls. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that NTM-PD could be considered a new etiotype of COPD-I and emphasize the importance of monitoring lung function in individuals with NTM-PD.

Abstract
Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has its origin in early life, and the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) proposes a predisease state termed "pre-COPD." Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that susceptible young adults identified with chronic bronchitis and subtle lung function impairment will develop COPD later in life. Methods: We followed random individuals without COPD ages 20-50 years from two population-based cohorts from different smoking eras-the Copenhagen General Population Study from 2003 (N = 5,497) and the Copenhagen City Heart Study from 1976-1978 (N = 2,609)-for 10 and 25 years, for the development of COPD (FEV1/FVC <0.70) and COPD GOLD Stages 2-4 (additionally, FEV1 <80% predicted). Measurements and Main Results: After 10 years, 28% developed COPD and 13% developed COPD GOLD Stages 2-4 in individuals susceptible to COPD, compared with 8% and 1% in those without any susceptibility to COPD. Correspondingly, after 25 years, 22% versus 13% developed COPD and 20% versus 8% developed COPD GOLD Stages 2-4. More than half of incident COPD cases developed from a susceptible state. Compared with those without susceptibility to COPD, multivariable-adjusted odds ratios in those susceptible to COPD were 3.42 (95% confidence interval: 2.78-4.21) for COPD and 10.1 (6.77-15.2) for COPD GOLD Stages 2-4 after 10 years and were 1.54 (1.23-1.93) and 2.12 (1.64-2.73) after 25 years. The ability of a COPD risk score-consisting of the state of susceptibility to COPD with smoking and asthma as risk factors-to predict COPD later in life was high. Conclusions: Our study suggests the existence of a predisease state of COPD, which can be used for early identification of susceptible individuals at risk for COPD later in life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has traditionally been diagnosed based on the criterion of an FEV1/FVC <0.70. However, this definition has limitations as it may only detect patients with later-stage disease, when pathologic changes have become irreversible. Consequently, it potentially omits individuals with early-stage disease, in whom the pathologic changes could be delayed or reversed. AREAS COVERED This narrative review summarizes recent evidence regarding early-stage COPD, which may not fulfill the spirometric criteria but nonetheless exhibits features of COPD or is at risk of future COPD progression. EXPERT OPINION A comprehensive approach, including symptoms assessment, various physiologic tests, and radiologic features, is required to diagnose COPD. This approach is necessary to identify currently underdiagnosed patients and to halt disease progression in at- risk patients.

SPECT/CT to quantify early small airway disease and its relationship to clinical symptoms in smokers with normal lung function: a pilot study. Front Physiol 2024; 15:1417463. [PMID: 39210972 PMCID: PMC11358551 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2024.1417463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Smokers frequently display respiratory symptoms despite the fact that their pulmonary function tests (PFTs) can be normal. Quantitative lung ventilation single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) can provide a quantification of lung ventilatory homogeneity and could prove useful as an early marker of airway disease in smokers. We measured the effects of smoking on regional ventilation distribution in subjects with normal lung function and evaluated whether ventilation distribution in these subjects is related to lung function tests results and clinical symptoms. Methods Subjects without any history of respiratory disease were prospectively recruited and separated in two groups: active smokers (AS: ≥10 cigarettes/day and history of ≥15 pack-years) and never smokers (NS: lifetime exposure of <5 cigarettes). All subjects performed PFTs (which had to be normal, defined as z-score values of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio, total lung capacity (TLC) residual volume and diffusion capacity (DLCO) all falling between -1.65 and +1.65) and underwent SPECT/CT with Technegas, which generated subject- specific ventilation heterogeneity maps. The area under the compensated coefficient of variation (CV) density curve for CV values > 40%, (AUC-CV40%) was used as the measure of ventilation heterogeneity. Results 30 subjects were recruited (15 per group). Subjects in the AS group displayed higher dyspnea levels (1 [1-2] vs. 0 [0-1] units on mMRC scale, p < 0.001). AUC- CV40% was significantly higher in the AS group (0.386 ± 0.106 vs. 0.293 ± 0.069, p = 0.004). AUC-CV40% was significantly correlated to FEV1 (rho = -0.47, p = 0.009), DLCO (rho = -0.49, p = 0.006), CAT score (rho = 0.55, p = 0.002) and mMRC score (rho = 0.54, p = 0.002). Subjects with mMRC >0 had higher AUC-CV40% values than those without dyspnea (0.289 ± 0.071 vs. 0.378 ± 0.102, p = 0.006), while FEV1 and DLCO were not different between those groups. ROC analyses showed that the AUC for AUC-CV40% in identifying subjects with mMRC score >0 was 0.78 (95%CI 0.61-0.95, p = 0.009), which was significantly higher than that of FEV1 and DLCO. Discussion In smokers with normal lung function, ventilatory inhomogeneities can be quantified using SPECT/CT. AUC-CV40% values are related to lung function decline and to respiratory symptomatology, suggesting a potential role for this marker in the evaluation of symptomatic smokers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to elucidate the clinical factors associated with acute exacerbation and disease progression in young patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS This retrospective longitudinal observational study included patients with COPD aged between 20 and 50 years with post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC)<0.7. Eligible patients were followed up with ≥2 spirometry examinations at 1 year interval after COPD diagnosis. The primary outcome was moderate-to-severe acute exacerbation in young patients with COPD. Secondary outcomes were early initiation of regular inhalation therapy and accelerated annual post-bronchodilator FEV1 decline. RESULTS A total of 342 patients were followed up during a median of 64 months. In multivariable analyses, risk factors for moderate-to-severe exacerbation were history of asthma (adjusted HR (aHR)=2.999, 95% CI=[2.074-4.335]), emphysema (aHR=1.951, 95% CI=[1.331-2.960]), blood eosinophil count >300/µL (aHR=1.469, 95% CI=[1.038-2.081]) and low FEV1 (%) (aHR=0.979, 95% CI=[0.970-0.987]). A history of asthma, sputum, blood eosinophil count >300/µL, low FEV1 (%) and low diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (%) were identified as clinical factors associated with the early initiation of regular inhalation therapy. The risk factors associated with worsened FEV1 decline were increasing age, female sex, history of pulmonary tuberculosis, sputum, low FEV1 (%) and low DLCO (%). CONCLUSIONS In young COPD patients, specific high-risk features of acute exacerbation and disease progression need to be identified, including a history of previous respiratory diseases, current respiratory symptoms, blood eosinophil counts, and structural or functional pulmonary impairment.

Association between dietary niacin intake and lung function among American adults: A cross-sectional analysis from national health and nutrition examination survey, 2007-2012. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33482. [PMID: 39027602 PMCID: PMC11255858 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The pathogenesis of pulmonary senescence involves immune system dysregulation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The effects on lung function of niacin, an essential coenzyme involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism with known antioxidant properties, are poorly understood. Methods This cross-sectional study used data from the 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, including spirometry data and niacin intake information of 9706 adults. This study investigated various spirometry measures, such as forced expiratory volume in 1 s, forced vital capacity, pulse expiratory flow, (forced expiratory volume in 1 s)/(forced vital capacity)ratio, and predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced vital capacity percentages. Additionally, a secondary analysis was conducted using Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Foundation Spirometry Grade criteria to assess the relationship between niacin intake, airflow limitation, and obstruction. Multivariate regression models were used to adjust for relevant covariates. Results The study included 9706 U S. adults (4788 men and 4918 women) with a median age of 46.2 years. After adjusting for relevant factors, a positive correlation was observed between niacin intake and lung function. Compared to the lowest quintile of niacin intake (Q1, ≤14.5 mg/day), individuals in the highest quintile (Q5, >34.5 mg/day) exhibited significant increases in lung function parameters, including forced expiratory volume in 1s (69.84 mL, p = 0.003), pulse expiratory flow (254.48 mL, p < 0.001), (forced expiratory volume in 1 s)/(forced vital capacity)(0.01, p = 0.041), percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s(2.05, p = 0.002), and percent predicted forced vital capacity(1.29, p = 0.042).Subset analyses of individuals with spirometry-defined airflow obstruction showed associations of high niacin intake with significantly improved forced expiratory volume, pulse expiratory flow, and percent predicted pulse expiratory flow and an interaction among race, education, and smoking status with respect to the relationship between niacin intake and lung function parameters. Conclusions Higher niacin intake was associated with increased measures of lung function. A diet rich in niacin-containing foods may play a role in improving lung health.

Abstract
Bronchiectasis is a complex and heterogeneous inflammatory chronic respiratory disease with an unknown cause in around 30-40% of patients. The presence of airway infection together with chronic inflammation, airway mucociliary dysfunction and lung damage are key components of the vicious vortex model that better describes its pathophysiology. Although bronchiectasis research has significantly increased over the past years and different endotypes have been identified, there are still major gaps in the understanding of the pathophysiology. Genomic approaches may help to identify new endotypes, as has been shown in other chronic airway diseases, such as COPD.Different studies have started to work in this direction, and significant contributions to the understanding of the microbiome and proteome diversity have been made in bronchiectasis in recent years. However, the systematic application of omics approaches to identify new molecular insights into the pathophysiology of bronchiectasis (endotypes) is still limited compared with other respiratory diseases.Given the complexity and diversity of these technologies, this review describes the key components of the pathophysiology of bronchiectasis and how genomics can be applied to increase our knowledge, including the study of new techniques such as proteomics, metabolomics and epigenomics. Furthermore, we propose that the novel concept of trained innate immunity, which is driven by microbiome exposures leading to epigenetic modifications, can complement our current understanding of the vicious vortex. Finally, we discuss the challenges, opportunities and implications of genomics application in clinical practice for better patient stratification into new therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous progressive lung condition characterized by long-term respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. Appropriate bronchodilation is the cornerstone of COPD treatment, leading to better health status as well as benefits in prognosis and mortality. METHODS In the current open, noninterventional, observational study, 716 patients diagnosed with COPD of variable severity were administered a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol (500 + 50 mcg) through the Elpenhaler® device. The patients' adherence to treatment (based on the MMAS-8 [8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale]) and health status (based on the CCQ [Clinical COPD Questionnaire]) were assessed at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 3-month follow-up period. RESULTS The mean ± SD MMAS-8 score at 1 and 3 months was 6.12 ± 1.89 and 6.45 ± 1.80, respectively, indicating medium adherence overall; however, there was a statistically significant increase of 0.33 units in the MMAS-8 score at the end of the follow-up (paired t-test p < 0.0001), suggestive of an improvement in adherence throughout the study. Higher adherence was associated with better health status at baseline, which further improved by the end of the follow-up. Moreover, we observed a statistically significant decrease of 1.07 points (p < 0.0001) in the mean CCQ total score from the baseline (CCQ score = 2.2 ± 1.00) until the end of the study follow-up (CCQ score = 1.13 ± 0.67). Similar conclusions were also drawn in the mean domain scores regarding symptoms (score equal to 1.36 ± 0.72, decrease by 1.18) as well as functional and mental state (scores equal to 0.86 ± 0.73 and 1.20 ± 0.88, decrease by 1.04 and 1.00, respectively, p < 0.0001). Similarly, when patients were stratified into subgroups with and without comorbidities, the former group showed an increase of 7% in the patients with medium to high adherence during the course of the study. In the same patient subgroup, there was a notable decrease in CCQ score by 1.18 points (p < 0.0001) during the study. CONCLUSIONS The administration of FDC of fluticasone propionate and salmeterol, (500 + 50 mcg) via the Elpenhaler® device for COPD, resulted in a well-maintained or slight increase in treatment adherence and a subsequent benefit in health status, which further persisted after 3 months of treatment.

Rationale: The term "pre-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease" ("pre-COPD") refers to individuals at high risk of developing COPD who do not meet conventional spirometric criteria for airflow obstruction. New approaches to identifying these individuals are needed, particularly in younger populations. Objectives: To determine whether lung function thresholds and respiratory symptoms can be used to identify individuals at risk of developing COPD. Methods: The Tasmanian Longitudinal Health Study comprises a population-based cohort first studied in 1968 (at age 7 yr). Respiratory symptoms, pre- and post-bronchodilator (BD) spirometry, diffusing capacity, and static lung volumes were measured in a subgroup at age 45, and the incidence of COPD was assessed at age 53. For each lung function measure, z-scores were calculated using Global Lung Function Initiative references. The optimal threshold for best discrimination of COPD incidence was determined by the unweighted Youden index. Measurements and Main Results: Among 801 participants who did not have COPD at age 45, the optimal threshold for COPD incidence by age 53 was pre-BD FEV1/FVC z-score less than -1.264, corresponding to the lowest 10th percentile. Those below this threshold had a 36-fold increased risk of developing COPD over an 8-year follow-up period (risk ratio, 35.8; 95% confidence interval, 8.88 to 144), corresponding to a risk difference of 16.4% (95% confidence interval, 3.7 to 67.4). The sensitivity was 88%, and the specificity was 87%. Positive and negative likelihood ratios were 6.79 and 0.14, respectively. Respiratory symptoms, post-BD spirometry, diffusing capacity, and static lung volumes did not improve on the classification achieved by pre-BD FEV1/FVC alone. Conclusions: This is the first study, to our knowledge, to evaluate the discriminatory accuracy of spirometry, diffusing capacity, and static lung volume thresholds for COPD incidence in middle-aged adults. Our findings support the inclusion of pre-BD spirometry in the physiological definition of pre-COPD and indicate that pre-BD FEV1/FVC at the 10th percentile accurately identifies individuals at high risk of developing COPD in community-based settings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The lung damage in COPD is associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and lung tissue to harmful particles or gases. Early detection and treatment of COPD can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. AREAS COVERED Status of knowledge regarding early diagnosis, definition of pre-COPD, possible new tools for early diagnosis, possibilities of early treatment, and the results of studies in this population are discussed. Literature search (2014-2024) was done in PubMed, EMBASE, and WoS databases using the keywords COPD, early diagnosis, treatment, smoking, prevention; with additional search of literature in found articles. EXPERT OPINION No early case-finding programs have been proposed or validated, so we still have many patients diagnosed in the late stage of the disease. Clinically manifest COPD is characterized as typically progressive and irreversible with current therapeutic options. If we aim to reduce the mortality and morbidity from COPD we should target these steps: Prevention; Early diagnosis; Form registries of persons at risk for COPD development; Diagnose preclinical COPD; and discover new preventive therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Purpose To develop a novel method for calculating small airway resistance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on CT data and evaluate its value to identify COPD. Patients and Methods 24 subjects who underwent chest CT scans and pulmonary function tests between August 2020 and December 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. Subjects were divided into three groups: normal (10), high-risk (6), and COPD (8). The airway from the trachea down to the sixth generation of bronchioles was reconstructed by a 3D slicer. The small airway resistance (RSA) and RSA as a percentage of total airway resistance (RSA%) were calculated by CFD combined with airway resistance and FEV1 measured by pulmonary function test. A correlation analysis was conducted between RSA and pulmonary function parameters, including FEV1/FVC, FEV1% predicted, MEF50% predicted, MEF75% predicted and MMEF75/25% predicted. Results The RSA and RSA% were significantly different among the three groups (p<0.05) and related to FEV1/FVC (r = -0.70, p < 0.001; r = -0.67, p < 0.001), FEV1% predicted (r = -0.60, p = 0.002; r = -0.57, p = 0.004), MEF50% predicted (r = -0.64, p = 0.001; r = -0.64, p = 0.001), MEF75% predicted (r = -0.71, p < 0.001; r = -0.60, p = 0.002) and MMEF 75/25% predicted (r = -0.64, p = 0.001; r = -0.64, p = 0.001). Conclusion Airway CFD is a valuable method for estimating the small airway resistance, where the derived RSA will aid in the early diagnosis of COPD.

Reduced Tolerogenic Program Death-Ligand 1-Expressing Conventional Type 1 Dendritic Cells Are Associated with Rapid Decline in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Cells 2024; 13:878. [PMID: 38786101 PMCID: PMC11119227 DOI: 10.3390/cells13100878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized, at least in part, by autoimmunity through amplified T helper 1 and 17 (Th1 and Th17) immune responses. The loss of immune tolerance controlled by programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) may contribute to this. OBJECTIVES We studied the tolerogenic role of PD-L1+ dendritic cells (DCs) and their subtypes in relation to specific T cell immunity and the clinical phenotypes of COPD. METHODS We used flow cytometry to analyze PD-L1 expression by the DCs and their subtypes in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from normal participants and those with COPD. T cell proliferation and the signature cytokines of T cell subtypes stimulated with elastin as autoantigens were measured using flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), respectively. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 83 participants were enrolled (normal, n = 29; COPD, n = 54). A reduced PD-L1+ conventional dendritic cell 1 (cDC1) ratio in the PBMCs of the patients with COPD was shown (13.7 ± 13.7%, p = 0.03). The decrease in the PD-L1+ cDC1 ratio was associated with a rapid decline in COPD (p = 0.02) and correlated with the CD4+ T cells (r = -0.33, p = 0.02). This is supported by the NCBI GEO database accession number GSE56766, the researchers of which found that the gene expressions of PD-L1 and CD4, but not CD8 were negatively correlated from PBMC in COPD patients (r = -0.43, p = 0.002). Functionally, the PD-L1 blockade enhanced CD4+ T cell proliferation stimulated by CD3/elastin (31.2 ± 22.3%, p = 0.04) and interleukin (IL)-17A production stimulated by both CD3 (156.3 ± 54.7, p = 0.03) and CD3/elastin (148 ± 64.9, p = 0.03) from the normal PBMCs. The PD-L1 blockade failed to increase IL-17A production in the cDC1-depleted PBMCs. By contrast, there was no significant change in interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-4, or IL-10 after the PD-L1 blockade. Again, these findings were supported by the NCBI GEO database accession number GSE56766, the researchers of which found that only the expression of RORC, a master transcription factor driving the Th17 cells, was significantly negatively correlated to PD-L1 (r = -0.33, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Circulating PD-L1+ cDC1 was reduced in the patients with COPD, and the tolerogenic role was suppressed with susceptibility to self-antigens and linked to rapid decline caused by Th17-skewed chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to tobacco smoking commonly presents when extensive lung damage has occurred. Objectives: We hypothesized that structural change would be detected early in the natural history of COPD and would relate to loss of lung function with time. Methods: We recruited 431 current smokers (median age, 39 yr; 16 pack-years smoked) and recorded symptoms using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), spirometry, and quantitative thoracic computed tomography (QCT) scans at study entry. These scan results were compared with those from 67 never-smoking control subjects. Three hundred sixty-eight participants were followed every six months with measurement of postbronchodilator spirometry for a median of 32 months. The rate of FEV1 decline, adjusted for current smoking status, age, and sex, was related to the initial QCT appearances and symptoms, measured using the CAT. Measurements and Main Results: There were no material differences in demography or subjective CT appearances between the young smokers and control subjects, but 55.7% of the former had CAT scores greater than 10, and 24.2% reported chronic bronchitis. QCT assessments of disease probability-defined functional small airway disease, ground-glass opacification, bronchovascular prominence, and ratio of small blood vessel volume to total pulmonary vessel volume were increased compared with control subjects and were all associated with a faster FEV1 decline, as was a higher CAT score. Conclusions: Radiological abnormalities on CT are already established in young smokers with normal lung function and are associated with FEV1 loss independently of the impact of symptoms. Structural abnormalities are present early in the natural history of COPD and are markers of disease progression. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03480347).

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitutes a significant public health challenge, with delayed diagnosis and underdiagnosis being pervasive issues. The United States Preventive Service Task Force recommends restricting COPD screening to symptomatic smokers, a focus that has exhibited limitations, leading to delayed diagnoses, and imposing a substantial burden on patients, their families, and the healthcare system. This paper explores an alternative approach, highlighting the potential utility of the COPD assessment test (CAT) score as a prescreening tool. A CAT score of 10 or higher could serve as an appropriate threshold for further diagnostic procedures, given its robust correlation with pulmonary function test parameters and is valuable capacity to quantify patients' symptoms. The utilization of CAT as a prescreening tool in primary care signifies a transition towards a more patient-centered and comprehensive approach to COPD diagnosis and care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is preventable disease and yet it remains the third greatest cause of death worldwide. This review focuses on recent updates in COPD research which have had an impact on our understanding of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of COPD. RECENT FINDINGS Epidemiological studies of COPD have moved towards trying to understand the global impact of COPD particularly in low- and middle-income countries where disease prevalence continues to increase. In addition, we are beginning to uncover the impact of air pollution on COPD development with recent work showing a relationship between air pollution and COPD exacerbations. Advances in understanding early origins and early development of COPD have the potential to intervene earlier in the disease course to prevent disease progression. Although biomarkers such as peripheral blood eosinophilia have led to trials of biologic agents in COPD suggesting we may be entering an exciting new biologic era in COPD. SUMMARY Recent advances suggest there may be a relationship between air pollution and COPD exacerbations. This requires further research to influence environmental policy. New clinical trials of biologics targeting TH2 inflammation in COPD suggest that targeted treatments with biologics may be a possibility COPD.

Centrilobular emphysema and airway dysanapsis: factors associated with low respiratory function in younger smokers. ERJ Open Res 2024; 10:00695-2023. [PMID: 38444662 PMCID: PMC10910308 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00695-2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Low respiratory function in young adulthood is one of the important factors in the trajectory leading to the future development of COPD, but its morphological characteristics are not well characterised. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 172 subjects aged 40-49 years with ≥10 pack-years smoking history who underwent lung cancer screening by computed tomography (CT) and spirometry at two Japanese hospitals. Emphysema was visually assessed according to the Fleischner Society guidelines and classified into two types: centrilobular emphysema (CLE) and paraseptal emphysema (PSE). Airway dysanapsis was assessed with the airway/lung ratio (ALR), which was calculated by the geometric mean of the lumen diameters of the 14 branching segments divided by the cube root of total lung volume on a CT scan. Results Among the subjects, CLE and PSE were observed in 20.9% and 30.8%, respectively. The mean ALR was 0.04 and did not differ between those with and without each type of emphysema. Multivariable regression analysis models adjusted for age, sex, body mass index and smoking status indicated that CLE and a low ALR were independently associated with lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (estimate -1.64 (95% CI -2.68- -0.60) and 6.73 (95% CI 4.24-9.24), respectively) and FEV1 % pred (estimate -2.81 (95% CI -5.10- -0.52) and 10.9 (95% CI 5.36-16.4), respectively). Conclusions CLE and airway dysanapsis on CT were independently associated with low respiratory function in younger smokers.

Rice Bran Oil Improves Emphysema in Cigarette Smoke Extract-Induced Mice through Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidative Effects. Nutrients 2024; 16:433. [PMID: 38337717 PMCID: PMC10857134 DOI: 10.3390/nu16030433] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Lung inflammation and alveolar enlargement are the major pathological conditions of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Rice bran oil (RBO), a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidative agent, has been used for therapeutic purposes in several inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effect of RBO on a cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced emphysema model in mice. The results indicated that CSE significantly induced airspace enlargement in mouse lung. Increased inflammatory cells, macrophage, and TNF-alpha levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were noticed in CSE-treated mice. RBO (low and high dose)-supplemented mice showed decreased total BALF inflammatory cell, macrophage, and neutrophil numbers and TNF-alpha levels (p < 0.05). Additionally, the administration of RBO decreased the mean linear alveolar intercept (MLI) in the CSE-treated group. Additionally, RBO treatment significantly increased the total antioxidant capacity in both mouse BALF and serum. However, RBO did not have an effect on the malondialdehyde (MDA) level. These findings suggested that RBO treatment ameliorates lung inflammation in a CSE-induced emphysema mice model through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways. Therefore, the supplementation of RBO could be a new potential therapeutic to relieve the severity of COPD.

Early Evidence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Obscured by Race-Specific Prediction Equations. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2024; 209:59-69. [PMID: 37611073 PMCID: PMC10870894 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.202303-0444oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: The identification of early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is essential to appropriately counsel patients regarding smoking cessation, provide symptomatic treatment, and eventually develop disease-modifying treatments. Disease severity in COPD is defined using race-specific spirometry equations. These may disadvantage non-White individuals in diagnosis and care. Objectives: Determine the impact of race-specific equations on African American (AA) versus non-Hispanic White individuals. Methods: Cross-sectional analyses of the COPDGene (Genetic Epidemiology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) cohort were conducted, comparing non-Hispanic White (n = 6,766) and AA (n = 3,366) participants for COPD manifestations. Measurements and Main Results: Spirometric classifications using race-specific, multiethnic, and "race-reversed" prediction equations (NHANES [National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey] and Global Lung Function Initiative "Other" and "Global") were compared, as were respiratory symptoms, 6-minute-walk distance, computed tomography imaging, respiratory exacerbations, and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire. Application of different prediction equations to the cohort resulted in different classifications by stage, with NHANES and Global Lung Function Initiative race-specific equations being minimally different, but race-reversed equations moving AA participants to more severe stages and especially between the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage 0 and preserved ratio impaired spirometry groups. Classification using the established NHANES race-specific equations demonstrated that for each of GOLD stages 1-4, AA participants were younger, had fewer pack-years and more current smoking, but had more exacerbations, shorter 6-minute-walk distance, greater dyspnea, and worse BODE (body mass index, airway obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity) scores and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire scores. Differences were greatest in GOLD stages 1 and 2. Race-reversed equations reclassified 774 AA participants (43%) from GOLD stage 0 to preserved ratio impaired spirometry. Conclusions: Race-specific equations underestimated disease severity among AA participants. These effects were particularly evident in early disease and may result in late detection of COPD.

Evidence for Wnt signaling's central involvement in perinatal nicotine exposure-induced offspring lung pathology and its modulation by electroacupuncture. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 168:115824. [PMID: 37925937 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115824] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many factors during pregnancy can induce intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), resulting in various adverse perinatal outcomes such as low birth weight and multiple organ disorders. Among these factors, prenatal smoke/nicotine exposure is a common cause of IUGR, often associated with altered fetal lung development. The classical Wnt signaling pathway plays a vital role in lung development, and its alterations are commonly associated with developmental lung pathologies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether electroacupuncture (EA) at "Zusanli" (ST 36) points protects perinatal nicotine exposure (PNE)-induced offspring lung dysplasia through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and to identify specific Wnt signaling pathway targets of EA. METHODS Following a well-established protocol, nicotine (1 mg/kg/ body weight) was administered subcutaneously to pregnant Sprague Dawley rat dams from gestational day 6 to postnatal day 21. In the EA group, dams were treated with EA at both ST 36 acupoints, while in another experimental group, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway agonist was injected subcutaneously (2 mg/kg/ body weight). Offspring body weight (PND 1, 7, 14, and 21), lung weight, Wnt signaling markers, pulmonary function, and lung morphology were determined at sacrifice on PND 21. Specifically, Western blotting and Real-time PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA levels of critical Wnt signaling markers Wnt2, Wnt7b, FZD4, FZD7, LRP5, and LRP6 in the offspring lung. The protein levels of β-catenin in lung tissue of offspring rats were detected by ELISA that of LEF-1 by Western blotting. RESULTS Compared to the control group, the body and lung weights of the offspring rats were significantly decreased in the nicotine-only exposed group. The pulmonary function determined as FVC, PEF, TV, and Cdyn was also significantly decreased, while PIF was significantly increased. The protein levels and mRNA expression of Wnt2, Wnt7b, FZD4, FZD7, LRP5, and LRP6 in the lung tissue of the PNE offspring rats were significantly increased. With EA administration at ST 36 acupoints concomitant with nicotine administration, the body and lung weights, pulmonary function (FVC, PEF, PIF, TV, and Cdyn), protein and mRNA levels Wnt signaling pathway markers (Wnt2, Wnt7b, FZD4, FZD7, LRP5, LRP6, β-catenin, and LEF-1) normalized and were not different from the control group. Notably, Wnt agonists agonist administration blocked the protective effects of EA against PNE-induced lung morphological, molecular, and function changes, highlighting the central significance of Wnt pathway signaling in PNE-induced offspring pulmonary pathology and its modulation by EA at ST 36 acupoints. CONCLUSION Concomitant maternal EA at ST 36 acupoints from gestational day 6 to PND 21 protects against offspring PNE-induced lung phenotype. The protective effect is achieved by regulating the expression of Wnt ligand proteins (Wnt2 and Wnt7b) and receptor proteins (FZD4, FZD7, LRP5, and LRP6) upstream of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway intermediates β-catenin, and LEF-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease leading to further morbidity and significant mortality, there is still limited data on screening for COPD. The purpose of this study was to establish an early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) screening system for the community and hospitals in Nanshan District in Shenzhen City, to improve the rate of early diagnosis and treatment of patients with COPD. METHODS We identified individuals at high risk of COPD using a questionnaire survey and analyzed the relevant influencing factors in the early stages of COPD in high-risk groups. RESULTS We collected a total of 5,000 COPD screening questionnaires, and a total of 449 patients were diagnosed with COPD by pulmonary function examination. The prevalence of COPD in people aged 20 and above in Nanshan District of Shenzhen City was estimated to be 8.98%, with a base of 5000. The severity classification as per the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria was as follows: GOLD I accounted for 34.74%; GOLD II accounted for 37.64%; GOLD III accounted for 16.04%; and GOLD IV accounted for 11.58%. Common features of early COPD that we identified were: (1) patients were mainly males, accounting for 68.0%; (2) COPD was common among people aged 50-59 years, comprising 31%; (3) 96.0% of patients often had severe respiratory symptoms and had frequent coughs when they did not have a cold; (4) 57.2% of patients experienced shortness of breath when walking quickly on level ground or climbing gentle slopes; (5) 72.6% of patients had a family history of bronchial asthma and COPD. Multivariate ordinal multi-classification logistic regression showed that gender, age, shortness of breath, and the use of firewood, grass, and coal stoves were all influencing factors in pulmonary function grading. CONCLUSION A screening questionnaire combined with a pulmonary function test should be adopted as a COPD screening strategy to be implemented at the primary level as a public health priority in China to reduce the incidence, disability, and mortality from COPD.

Abstract
The onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is heterogeneous, and current approaches to define distinct disease phenotypes are lacking. In addition to clinical methodologies, subtyping COPD has also been challenged by the reliance on human lung samples from late-stage diseases. Different COPD phenotypes may be initiated from the susceptibility of different cell types to cigarette smoke, environmental pollution, and infections at early stages that ultimately converge at later stages in airway remodeling and destruction of the alveoli when the disease is diagnosed. This perspective provides discussion points on how studies to date define different cell types of the lung that can initiate COPD pathogenesis, focusing on the susceptibility of macrophages, T and B cells, mast cells, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, and airway epithelial cells. Additional cell types, including fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, neuronal cells, and other rare cell types not covered here, may also play a role in orchestrating COPD. Here, we discuss current knowledge gaps, such as which cell types drive distinct disease phenotypes and/or stages of the disease and which cells are primarily affected by the genetic variants identified by whole genome-wide association studies. Applying new technologies that interrogate the functional role of a specific cell type or a combination of cell types as well as single-cell transcriptomics and proteomic approaches are creating new opportunities to understand and clarify the pathophysiology and thereby the clinical heterogeneity of COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment and preventative advances for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been slow due, in part, to limited subphenotypes. We tested if unsupervised machine learning on CT images would discover CT emphysema subtypes with distinct characteristics, prognoses and genetic associations. METHODS New CT emphysema subtypes were identified by unsupervised machine learning on only the texture and location of emphysematous regions on CT scans from 2853 participants in the Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD Study (SPIROMICS), a COPD case-control study, followed by data reduction. Subtypes were compared with symptoms and physiology among 2949 participants in the population-based Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) Lung Study and with prognosis among 6658 MESA participants. Associations with genome-wide single-nucleotide-polymorphisms were examined. RESULTS The algorithm discovered six reproducible (interlearner intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.91-1.00) CT emphysema subtypes. The most common subtype in SPIROMICS, the combined bronchitis-apical subtype, was associated with chronic bronchitis, accelerated lung function decline, hospitalisations, deaths, incident airflow limitation and a gene variant near DRD1, which is implicated in mucin hypersecretion (p=1.1 ×10-8). The second, the diffuse subtype was associated with lower weight, respiratory hospitalisations and deaths, and incident airflow limitation. The third was associated with age only. The fourth and fifth visually resembled combined pulmonary fibrosis emphysema and had distinct symptoms, physiology, prognosis and genetic associations. The sixth visually resembled vanishing lung syndrome. CONCLUSION Large-scale unsupervised machine learning on CT scans defined six reproducible, familiar CT emphysema subtypes that suggest paths to specific diagnosis and personalised therapies in COPD and pre-COPD.

Weber P, Menezes AMB, Gonçalves H, de Oliveira PD, Wendt A, Perez-Padilla R, Wehrmeister FC. Smoking exposure trajectories and pulmonary function in early adulthood in a Brazilian cohort. Pulmonology 2023:S2531-0437(23)00168-X. [PMID: 37903685 DOI: 10.1016/j.pulmoe.2023.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate smoking trajectories and their association with pulmonary function (PF) and respiratory symptoms at age 22. METHODS Data from a population-based cohort study of 3350 individuals and their spirometries were analysed. The outcomes were: forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow at the mid expiratory phase (FEF25-75 %), FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75/FVC ratio. Smoking data were collected at perinatal follow-up (gestational exposure) and 15, 18 and 22 years. Group-based trajectory model was applied. RESULTS Four groups were identified: no exposure (NE), gestational (GE), gestational and adulthood (GAE) and continuous (CE) exposure. Both CE and GAE trajectories were associated with lower values of FEV1/FVC (-1.77pp; p = 0.01 and -1.58 pp; p<0.001 respectively) and FEF25-75/FVC ratio (-7.27pp; p = 0.019 and -6.04pp; p<0.001 respectively) compared to the NE trajectory. Lower FEV1 and FEF25-75 % values were also related to the GAE trajectory (-68 ml; p = 0.03 and -253 ml/s;p<0.001 respectively). Compared to those who never smoked, individuals who smoked 10 or more cigarettes daily presented a reduction in the FEV1/FVC ratio by 1.37pp (p<0.001), FEF25-75 % by 126 ml (p = 0.012) and FEF25-75 %/FVC ratio by 3.62pp (p = 0.011). CE trajectory showed higher odds of wheezing (OR 4.14; p<0.001) and cough (OR 2.39; p = 0.002) compared to the non-exposed group. CONCLUSIONS The in-uterus exposure to maternal smoking reduces PF later in life. However, the perpetuation of smoking behaviour throughout adolescence and early adulthood is determinant for PF main reduction and the emergence of respiratory-related symptoms.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a unique member of the HDAC family mainly targeting cytosolic nonhistone substrates, such as α-tubulin, cortactin, and heat shock protein 90 to regulate cell proliferation, metastasis, invasion, and mitosis in tumors. We describe the identification and characterization of a series of 2-(difluoromethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (DFMOs) as selective nonhydroxamic acid HDAC6 inhibitors. By comparing structure-activity relationships and performing quantum mechanical calculations of the HDAC6 catalytic mechanism, we show that potent oxadiazoles are electrophilic substrates of HDAC6 and propose a mechanism for the bioactivation. We also observe that the inherent electrophilicity of the oxadiazoles makes them prone to degradation in water solution and the generation of potentially toxic products cannot be ruled out, limiting the developability for chronic diseases. However, the oxadiazoles demonstrate high oral bioavailability and low in vivo clearance and are excellent tools for studying the role of HDAC6 in vitro and in vivo in rats and mice.

Cardiovascular Autonomic Function and Incident Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Hospitalizations in Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2023; 20:1435-1444. [PMID: 37364277 PMCID: PMC10559138 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202211-964oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: The autonomic nervous system extensively innervates the lungs, but its role in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) outcomes has not been well studied. Objective: We assessed relationships between cardiovascular autonomic nervous system measures (heart rate variability [HRV] and orthostatic hypotension [OH]) and incident COPD hospitalization in the multicenter ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities) study. Methods: We used Cox proportional hazards regression models to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals between baseline (1987-1989) autonomic function measures (HRV measures from 2-minute electrocardiograms and OH variables) and incident COPD hospitalizations through 2019. Adjusted analyses included demographic data, smoking status, lung function, comorbidities, and physical activity. We also performed analyses stratified by baseline airflow obstruction. Results: Of the 11,625 participants, (mean age, 53.8 yr), 56.5% were female and 26.3% identified as Black. Baseline mean percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second was 94 ± 17% (standard deviation), and 2,599 participants (22.4%) had airflow obstruction. During a median follow-up time of 26.9 years, there were 2,406 incident COPD hospitalizations. Higher HRV (i.e., better autonomic function) was associated with a lower risk of incident COPD hospitalization. Markers of worse autonomic function (OH and greater orthostatic changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure) were associated with a higher risk of incident COPD hospitalization (hazard ratio for the presence of OH, 1.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.25-1.92). In stratified analyses, results were more robust in participants without airflow obstruction at baseline. Conclusions: In this large multicenter prospective community cohort, better cardiovascular autonomic function at baseline was associated with a lower risk of subsequent hospitalization for COPD, particularly among participants without evidence of lung disease at baseline.

Abstract
Pulmonary functional imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear imaging can quantitatively assess regional lung functional parameters and their distributions. These include ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange at the microvascular level and biomechanical properties, among other variables. This review describes the rationale, strengths and limitations of the various imaging modalities employed for lung functional imaging. It also aims to explain some of the most commonly measured parameters of regional lung function. A brief review of evidence on the role and utility of lung functional imaging in early diagnosis, accurate lung functional characterisation, disease phenotyping and advancing the understanding of disease mechanisms in major respiratory disorders is provided.

ERJ Open Res 2023; 9:00289-2023.

Abstract
Rationale Lung volumes identify the "susceptible smokers" who progress to develop spirometric COPD. However, among susceptible smokers, development of spirometric COPD seems to be heterogeneous, suggesting the presence of different pathological mechanisms during early establishment of spirometric COPD. The objective of the present study was to determine the differential patterns of radiographic pathologies among susceptible smokers. Methods We categorised smokers with preserved spirometry (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage 0) in the Genetic Epidemiology of COPD (COPDGene) cohort based on tertiles (low, intermediate and high) of lung volumes (either total lung capacity (TLC), functional residual capacity FRC or FRC/TLC) at baseline visit. We then examined the differential patterns of change in spirometry and the associated prevalence of computed tomography measured pathologies of emphysema and airway disease with those categories of lung volumes. Results The pattern of spirometric change differed when participants were categorised by TLC versus FRC/TLC: those in the high TLC tertile showed stable forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), but enlarging forced vital capacity (FVC), while those in the high FRC/TLC tertile showed decline in both FEV1 and FVC. When participants from the high TLC and high FRC/TLC tertiles were partitioned into mutually exclusive groups, compared to those with high TLC, those with high FRC/TLC had lesser emphysema, but greater air trapping, more self-reported respiratory symptoms and exacerbation episodes and higher likelihood of progressing to more severe spirometric disease (GOLD stages 2-4 versus GOLD stage 1). Conclusions Lung volumes identify distinct physiological and radiographic phenotypes in early disease among susceptible smokers and predict the rate of spirometric disease progression and the severity of symptoms in early COPD.

Abstract
The need to improve health outcomes, as well as disease prognosis, has led clinicians and researchers to propose new ways of identifying COPD in its earliest forms. This initiative is based on the hypothesis that an earlier intervention would have a greater prognostic impact. However, the operational definition of a patient in the initial stages of the disease is complex, and there is still no unanimously accepted definition. GOLD has recently proposed different concepts to identify COPD in its early stages, such as COPD in young people or COPD with mild functional impairment. In addition, GOLD proposes two other concepts, called pre-COPD (symptomatic non-obstructive patients) and PRISm (preserved ratio with impaired spirometry), which aim to identify the patient at risk of developing this chronic airflow obstruction. However, despite the attractiveness of these concepts, none have been taken up universally by the medical community. A universally accepted identification of how to define COPD in its early stages is necessary as a preliminary step in order to design clinical trials to find out the best way to treat these patients. This review deals with these concepts of COPD at the onset of the disease, highlighting their importance and the problems involved in identifying them as therapeutic targets in real clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been considered a disease of the elderly, but it could also occur in young people aged 20-50 years. However, the characteristics and prognosis of COPD in such young people remain unclear. METHODS Our retrospective cohort study was based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants who 20-50 years old at baseline and completed the pulmonary function test were enrolled in our study cohort. These participants were followed up to 31 December 2019. The sample weight and Taylor Linearization Procedures were adapted to make representative estimations of prevalence and baseline characteristics. The weighted logistic regression model was used to assess the risk factors. The propensity score method and Cox proportional hazard models were applied to calculate the risk of mortality. RESULTS The weighted prevalence of COPD in young people in the USA was 1.64% and it increased with age, with a higher prevalence in males than females (2.59% vs 0.72%, p<0.001). The proportion of Global Initiative for COPD 1-2 was 96.7%. Males (OR=4.56, 95% CI: 2.74 to 7.61), non-Hispanic black (OR=2.77; 95% CI: 1.14 to 6.75), non-Hispanic white (OR=4.93; 95% CI: 2.16 to 11.28) and smoking (current smoking, OR=2.36; 95% CI: 1.40 to 3.98; ever smoking, OR=1.92; 95% CI: 1.05 to 3.51; passive smoking, OR=2.12; 95% CI: 1.41 to 3.20) were shown to be independent risk factors for COPD in young people. Compared with those matched by sex, age and race, the young people with COPD had a higher risk of all-cause death (HR=3.314, p<0.001). CONCLUSION COPD in young people has a low prevalence in the USA and its independent risk factors included male, race (non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white) and smoking. Young COPD has a higher risk of all-cause mortality than the matched non-COPD.

Abstract
Whereas COPD is currently defined as the presence of spirometric obstruction, the pathologic changes in individuals at risk including chronic mucus hypersecretion and emphysema have been recognized for centuries. At the same time, we have struggled to define criteria that would help us identify patients at an early stage, prior to the development of pulmonary function abnormality. The concept of GOLD 0 was introduced in the hopes that symptoms would help to identify those at greatest risk for progression. While symptoms are a risk factor, in particular chronic bronchitis, the term was abandoned as the majority of individuals at risk who progress to COPD do not have symptoms. Since then, the related terms pre-COPD and early COPD have been introduced. They are similar in that the term pre-COPD identifies individuals based on symptoms, physiologic, or radiographic abnormality that do not meet criteria for COPD but are clearly at risk. The term early COPD extends that concept further, focusing on individuals who have early physiologic or radiographic abnormality but at the same time are young, thereby excluding those with late mild disease who may be less likely to progress. Whereas individuals with early COPD are now being recruited for observational studies, we are still challenged with determining the best way to identify patients at risk who should undergo additional testing as well as developing specific therapies for patients with early-stage disease.

Abstract
COPD, one of the leading worldwide health problems, currently lacks truly disease-modifying medical therapies applicable to most patients. Developing such novel therapies has been hampered by the marked heterogeneity of phenotypes between individuals with COPD. Such heterogeneity suggests that, rather than a single cause (particularly just direct inhalation of tobacco products), development and progression of COPD likely involve both complex gene-by-environment interactions to multiple inhalational exposures and a variety of molecular pathways. However, there has been considerable recent progress toward understanding how specific pathological processes can lead to discrete COPD phenotypes, particularly that of small airways disease. Advances in imaging techniques that correlate to specific types of histological damage, and in the immunological mechanisms of lung damage in COPD, hold promise for development of personalized therapies. At the same time, there is growing recognition that the current diagnostic criteria for COPD, based solely on spirometry, exclude large numbers of individuals with very similar disease manifestations. This concise review summarizes current understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology of COPD and provides background explaining the increasing calls to expand the diagnostic criteria used to diagnose COPD and some challenges in doing so.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic advances in drug therapy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) really effective in suppressing the pathological processes underlying the disease deterioration are still needed. Artificial Intelligence (AI) via Machine Learning (ML) may represent an effective tool to predict clinical development of investigational agents. AREAL COVERED Experimental drugs in Phase I and II development for COPD from early 2014 to late 2022 were identified in the ClinicalTrials.gov database. Different ML models, trained from prior knowledge on clinical trial success, were used to predict the probability that experimental drugs will successfully advance toward approval in COPD, according to Bayesian inference as follows: ≤25% low probability, >25% and ≤ 50% moderate probability, >50% and ≤ 75% high probability, and > 75% very high probability. EXPERT OPINION The Artificial Neural Network and Random Forest ML models indicated that, among the current experimental drugs in clinical trials for COPD, only the bifunctional muscarinic antagonist - β2-adrenoceptor agonists (MABA) navafenterol and batefenterol, the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/MABA fluticasone furoate/batefenterol, and the bifunctional phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3/4 inhibitor ensifentrine resulted to have a moderate to very high probability of being approved in the next future, however not before 2025.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that affects the quality of life of nearly one-tenth of the global population. Due to irreversible airflow obstruction and progressive lung function decline, COPD is characterized by high mortality and disability rates, which imposes a huge economic burden on society. In recent years, the importance of intervention in the early stage of COPD has been recognized and the concept of early COPD has been proposed. Identifying and intervening in individuals with early COPD, some of whom have few or no symptoms, might halt or reverse the progressive decline in lung function, improve the quality of life, and better their prognosis. However, understanding of early COPD is not yet well established, and there are no unified and feasible diagnostic criteria, which complicates clinical research. In this article, we review evolution of the definition of early COPD over the past 20 years, describe the changes in awareness of this concept, and propose future research directions.

Abstract
Accelerated progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased risks of hospitalization and death. Prognostic insights into mechanisms and markers of progression could facilitate development of disease-modifying therapies. Although individual biomarkers exhibit some predictive value, performance is modest and their univariate nature limits network-level insights. To overcome these limitations and gain insights into early pathways associated with rapid progression, we measured 1305 peripheral blood and 48 bronchoalveolar lavage proteins in individuals with COPD [n = 45, mean initial forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 75.6 ± 17.4% predicted]. We applied a data-driven analysis pipeline, which enabled identification of protein signatures that predicted individuals at-risk for accelerated lung function decline (FEV1 decline ≥ 70 mL/year) ~ 6 years later, with high accuracy. Progression signatures suggested that early dysregulation in elements of the complement cascade is associated with accelerated decline. Our results propose potential biomarkers and early aberrant signaling mechanisms driving rapid progression in COPD.

Machine learning for screening of at-risk, mild and moderate COPD patients at risk of FEV 1 decline: results from COPDGene and SPIROMICS. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1144192. [PMID: 37153221 PMCID: PMC10161244 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1144192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to train and validate machine learning models for predicting rapid decline of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) in individuals with a smoking history at-risk-for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD 0), or with mild-to-moderate (GOLD 1-2) COPD. We trained multiple models to predict rapid FEV1 decline using demographic, clinical and radiologic biomarker data. Training and internal validation data were obtained from the COPDGene study and prediction models were validated against the SPIROMICS cohort. Methods: We used GOLD 0-2 participants (n = 3,821) from COPDGene (60.0 ± 8.8 years, 49.9% male) for variable selection and model training. Accelerated lung function decline was defined as a mean drop in FEV1% predicted of > 1.5%/year at 5-year follow-up. We built logistic regression models predicting accelerated decline based on 22 chest CT imaging biomarker, pulmonary function, symptom, and demographic features. Models were validated using n = 885 SPIROMICS subjects (63.6 ± 8.6 years, 47.8% male). Results: The most important variables for predicting FEV1 decline in GOLD 0 participants were bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR), post bronchodilator FEV1% predicted (FEV1.pp.post), and CT-derived expiratory lung volume; among GOLD 1 and 2 subjects, they were BDR, age, and PRMlower lobes fSAD. In the validation cohort, GOLD 0 and GOLD 1-2 full variable models had significant predictive performance with AUCs of 0.620 ± 0.081 (p = 0.041) and 0.640 ± 0.059 (p < 0.001). Subjects with higher model-derived risk scores had significantly greater odds of FEV1 decline than those with lower scores. Conclusion: Predicting FEV1 decline in at-risk patients remains challenging but a combination of clinical, physiologic and imaging variables provided the best performance across two COPD cohorts.

Abstract
BackgroundAnoikis resistance is recognized as a crucial step in the metastasis of cancer cells. Most epithelial tumors are distinguished by the ability of epithelial cells to abscond anoikis when detached from the extracellular matrix. However, no study has investigated the involvement of anoikis in the small airway epithelium (SAE) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsAnoikis-related genes (ANRGs) exhibiting differential expression in COPD were identified using microarray datasets obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Unsupervised clustering was performed to classify COPD patients into anoikis-related subtypes. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) were used to annotate the functions between different subtypes. Differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were leveraged to identify key molecules. The relative proportion of infiltrating immune cells in the SAE was quantified using the CIBERSORT and ssGSEA computational algorithms, and the correlation between key molecules and immune cell abundance was analyzed. The expression of key molecules in BEAS-2B cells exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) was validated using qRT-PCR.ResultsA total of 25 ANRGs exhibited differential expression in the SAE of COPD patients, based on which two subtypes of COPD patients with distinct anoikis patterns were identified. COPD patients with anoikis resistance had more advanced GOLD stages and cigarette consumption. Functional annotations revealed a different immune status between COPD patients with pro-anoikis and anoikis resistance. Tenomodulin (TNMD) and long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 656 (LINC00656) were subsequently identified as key molecules involved in this process, and a close correlation between TNMD and the infiltrating immune cells was observed, such as activated CD4+ memory T cells, M1 macrophages, and activated NK cells. Further enrichment analyses clarified the relationship between TNMD and the inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathway as the potential mechanism for regulating anoikis. In vitro experiments showed a dramatic upregulation of TNMD and LINC00656 in BEAS-2B cells when exposed to 3% CSE for 48 hours.ConclusionTNMD contributes to the progression of COPD by inducing anoikis resistance in SAE, which is intimately associated with the immune microenvironment.

The impact of occupational exposure to crystalline silica dust on respiratory function (airway obstruction and FEF 25-75) in the French general population. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 222:115382.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although several studies have studied the relationship between occupational exposure to crystalline silica dust and respiratory mortality, few have examined the relationship with impairments in respiratory function and the exposure threshold triggering spirometric monitoring in exposed workers. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of exposure to crystalline silica dust on respiratory function. METHODS We included 1428 male participants (aged 40 to 65) recruited from the French general population, at random from electoral rolls, in the cross-sectional ELISABET study and for whom data on forced expiratory flow-volume curve indices z-scores (calculated using the Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 equations) and exposure (via a questionnaire) were available. A cumulative exposure index (CEI) for crystalline silica dust (CEIsilica, expressed in mg.m-3.year) was calculated using the Matgéné occupational exposure matrix. RESULTS 293 of the 1428 participants (20.52%) reported exposure to silica dust. We found that the adjusted z-scores for the forced expiratory volume in the first second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio decreased significantly as CEIsilica increased. After adjustment, the adjusted z-scores for FEV1/FVC (β: -0.426 (95% confidence interval (CI): -0.792, -0.060) per 1 mg m-3.year increment) and the mean forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of the forced vital capacity (FEF25-75) (β: -0.552 (95% CI: -0.947, -0.157)) were significantly lower in the participants with CEIsilica ≥1 mg m-3.year than in non-exposed participants. The likelihoods of having airway obstruction (odds ratio (OR): 3.056 (95% CI: 1.107, 7.626)) or having an impaired FEF25-75 (OR: 4.305 (95% CI: 1.393, 11.79)) were also significantly higher in participants with CEIsilica ≥1 mg m-3.year. CONCLUSION Our results emphasize the importance of spirometry-based monitoring in workers exposed to more than 1 mg m-3.year of crystalline silica dust, in order to identify small airway obstruction or airway obstruction as early as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence regarding clinical features and outcomes of individuals with non-obstructive chronic bronchitis (NOCB) remains scarce, especially in never-smokers. We aimed to investigate the clinical features and 1-year outcomes of individuals with NOCB in the Chinese population. METHODS We obtained data on participants in the Early Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Study who had normal spirometry (post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ≥0.70). NOCB was defined as chronic cough and sputum production for at least 3 months for two consecutive years or more at baseline in participants with normal spirometry. We assessed the differences in demographics, risk factors, lung function, impulse oscillometry, CT imaging and frequency of acute respiratory events between participants with and without NOCB. RESULTS NOCB was present in 13.1% (149/1140) of participants with normal spirometry at baseline. Compared with participants without NOCB, those with NOCB had a higher proportion of men and participants with smoke exposure, occupational exposure, family history of respiratory diseases and worse respiratory symptoms (all p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in lung function. Never-smokers with NOCB had higher rates of emphysema than those without NOCB, but airway resistance was similar. Ever-smokers with NOCB had greater airway resistance than those without NOCB, but emphysema rates were similar. During 1-year follow-up, participants with NOCB had a significantly increased risk of acute respiratory events compared with participants who did not have NOCB, after adjustment for confounders (risk ratio 2.10, 95% CI 1.32 to 3.33; p=0.002). These results were robust in never-smokers and ever-smokers. CONCLUSIONS Never-smokers and ever-smokers with NOCB had more chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-related risk factors, evidence of airway disease and greater risk of acute respiratory events than those without NOCB. Our findings support expanding the criteria defining pre-COPD to include NOCB.

Abstract
A significant proportion of COPD patients (∼40%) continue smoking despite knowing that they have the disease. Smokers with COPD exhibit higher levels of nicotine dependence, and have lower self-efficacy and self-esteem, which affects their ability to quit smoking. Treatment should be adapted to the needs of individual patients with different levels of tobacco dependence. The combination of counselling plus pharmacotherapy is the most effective cessation treatment for COPD. In patients with severe COPD, varenicline and bupropion have been shown to have the highest abstinence rates compared with nicotine replacement therapy. There is a lack of evidence to support that smoking cessation reduction or harm reduction strategies have benefits in COPD patients. The long-term efficacy and safety of electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation need to be evaluated in high-risk populations; therefore, it is not possible to recommend their use for smoking cessation in COPD. Future studies with the new generation of nicotine vaccines are necessary to determine their effectiveness in smokers in general and in COPD patients.

Abstract
Aims Oxidative stress is an important amplifying mechanism in COPD; however, it is unclear how oxidative stress changes and what its exact amplification mechanism is in the pathological process. We aimed to dynamically analyse the progression of COPD and further elucidate the characteristics of each developmental stage and unveil the underlying mechanisms. Methods We performed a holistic analysis by integrating Gene Expression Omnibus microarray datasets related to smoking, emphysema and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification based on the concept of gene, environment and time (GET). Gene ontology (GO), protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were used to explore the changing characteristics and potential mechanisms. Lentivirus was used to promote HIF3A overexpression. Results In smokers versus nonsmokers, the GO term mainly enriched in "negative regulation of apoptotic process". In later transitions between stages, the main enriched terms were continuous progression of "oxidation-reduction process" and "cellular response to hydrogen peroxide". Logistic regression showed that these core differentially expressed genes (DEGs) had diagnostic accuracy in test (area under the curve (AUC)=0.828) and validation (AUC=0.750) sets. GSEA and PPI networks showed that one of the core DEGs, HIF3A, strongly interacted with the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway. Overexpression of HIF3A restored superoxide dismutase levels and alleviated the reactive oxygen species accumulation caused by cigarette smoke extract treatment. Conclusion Oxidative stress was continuously intensified from mild emphysema to GOLD 4; thus, special attention should be paid to the identification of emphysema. Furthermore, the downregulated HIF3A may play an important role in the intensified oxidative stress in COPD.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is commonly diagnosed when the airflow limitation is well established and symptomatic. We aimed to identify individuals at risk of developing COPD according to the concept of pre-COPD and compare their clinical characteristics with 1) those who have developed the disease at a young age, and 2) the overall population with and without COPD. Methods The EPISCAN II study is a cross-sectional, population-based study that aims to investigate the prevalence of COPD in Spain in subjects ≥40 years of age. Pre-COPD was defined as the presence of emphysema >5% and/or bronchial thickening by computed chromatography (CT) scan and/or diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D LCO) <80% of predicted in subjects with respiratory symptoms and post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) >0.70. Young COPD was defined as FEV1/FVC <0.70 in a subject ≤50 years of age. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared among pre-COPD, young COPD and the overall population with and without COPD. Results Among the 1077 individuals with FEV1/FVC <0.70, 65 (6.0%) were ≤50 years of age. Among the 8015 individuals with FEV1/FVC >0.70, 350 underwent both D LCO testing and chest CT scanning. Of those, 78 (22.3%) subjects fulfilled the definition of pre-COPD. Subjects with pre-COPD were older, predominantly women, less frequently active or ex-smokers, with less frequent previous diagnosis of asthma but with higher symptomatic burden than those with young COPD. Conclusions 22.3% of the studied population was at risk of developing COPD, with similar symptomatic and structural changes to those with well-established disease without airflow obstruction. This COPD at-risk population is different from those that develop COPD at a young age.

Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality that is both preventable and treatable. However, a major challenge in recognizing, preventing, and treating COPD is understanding its complexity. While COPD has historically been characterized as a disease defined by airflow limitation, we now understand it as a multi-component disease with many clinical phenotypes, systemic manifestations, and associated co-morbidities. Evidence is rapidly emerging in our understanding of the many factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of COPD and the identification of "early" or "pre-COPD" which should provide exciting opportunities for early treatment and disease modification. In addition to breakthroughs in our understanding of the origins of COPD, we are optimizing treatment strategies and delivery of care that are showing impressive benefits in patient-centered outcomes and healthcare utilization. This special issue of Respiratory Medicine, "COPD: Providing the Right Treatment for the Right Patient at the Right Time" is a summary of the proceedings of a conference held in Stresa, Italy in April 2022 that brought together international experts to discuss emerging evidence in COPD and Pulmonary Rehabilitation in honor of a distinguished friend and colleague, Claudio Ferdinando Donor (1948-2021). Claudio was a true pioneer in the field of pulmonary rehabilitation and the comprehensive care of individuals with COPD. He held numerous leadership roles in in the field, provide editorial stewardship of several respiratory journals, authored numerous papers, statement and guidelines in COPD and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and provided mentorship to many in our field. Claudio's most impressive talent was his ability to organize spectacular conferences and symposia that highlighted cutting edge science and clinical medicine. It is in this spirit that this conference was conceived and planned. These proceedings are divided into 4 sections which highlight crucial areas in the field of COPD: (1) New concepts in COPD pathogenesis; (2) Enhancing outcomes in COPD; (3) Non-pharmacologic management of COPD; and (4) Optimizing delivery of care for COPD. These presentations summarize the newest evidence in the field and capture lively discussion on the exciting future of treating this prevalent and impactful disease. We thank each of the authors for their participation and applaud their efforts toward pushing the envelope in our understanding of COPD and optimizing care for these patients. We believe that this edition is a most fitting tribute to a dear colleague and friend and will prove useful to students, clinicians, and researchers as they continually strive to provide the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. It has been our pleasure and a distinct honor to serve as editors and oversee such wonderful scholarly work.

Abstract
It is unclear whether young adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at an increased risk of rapid lung function decline. A total of 2,934 Korean adults aged 40-49 years who had consecutive lung function measurements were included. COPD was defined as pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity < lower limit of normal. The risk of rapid decline in FEV1, defined as ≥ 60 mL/year, was assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. In the multivariable model, a significantly higher risk of rapid decline in FEV1 was observed for the COPD group compared with the non-COPD group (adjusted odds ratio, 1.89; 95% confidence interval, 1.18-2.95), which was especially significant in subjects with FEV1 less than the median value (< 110%pred) (Pinteraction = 0.017) and inactive physical activity (Pinteraction = 0.039). In conclusion, the risk of rapid FEV1 decline was higher in young adults with COPD than in those without COPD, especially in those with FEV1 less than the median value and inactive physical activity.

Extracellular Vesicle-Encapsulated microRNAs as Novel Biomarkers of Lung Health. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2023; 207:50-59. [PMID: 35943330 PMCID: PMC9952856 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.202109-2208oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Early detection of respiratory diseases is critical to facilitate delivery of disease-modifying interventions. Extracellular vesicle-enriched microRNAs (EV-miRNAs) may represent reliable markers of early lung injury. Objectives: Evaluate associations of plasma EV-miRNAs with lung function. Methods: The prospective NAS (Normative Aging Study) collected plasma EV-miRNA measurements from 1996-2015 and spirometry every 3-5 years through 2019. Associations of EV-miRNAs with baseline lung function were modeled using linear regression. To complement the individual miRNA approach, unsupervised machine learning was used to identify clusters of participants with distinct EV-miRNA profiles. Associations of EV-miRNA profiles with multivariate latent longitudinal lung function trajectories were modeled using log binomial regression. Biological functions of significant EV-miRNAs were explored using pathway analyses. Results were replicated in an independent sample of NAS participants and in the HEALS (Health Effects of Arsenic Longitudinal Study). Measurements and Main Results: In the main cohort of 656 participants, 51 plasma EV-miRNAs were associated with baseline lung function (false discovery rate-adjusted P value < 0.05), 28 of which were replicated in the independent NAS sample and/or in the HEALS cohort. A subset of participants with distinct EV-miRNA expression patterns had increased risk of declining lung function over time, which was replicated in the independent NAS sample. Significant EV-miRNAs were shown in pathway analyses to target biological pathways that regulate respiratory cellular immunity, the lung inflammatory response, and airway structural integrity. Conclusions: Plasma EV-miRNAs may represent a robust biomarker of subclinical lung injury and may facilitate early identification and treatment of patients at risk of developing overt lung disease.

Comparison of newly diagnosed COPD patients and the non-COPD residents in Shanghai Minhang District. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1102509. [PMID: 36935678 PMCID: PMC10014998 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1102509] [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: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background To compare whether the general population, especially those without characteristic symptoms, need spirometry screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Residents aged > 40 years old in Minhang, Shanghai, China, filled out screening questionnaires and underwent spirometry. The structured questionnaire integrating COPD population screening and COPD screening questionnaire was designed to obtain data on demographic characteristics, risk factors of COPD, respiratory symptoms, lifestyle habits, and comorbidities. We assessed the correlations between variables and COPD and the impact factors of FEV1% predicted. Results A total of 1,147 residents were included with a newly diagnosed mild to moderate COPD prevalence of 9.4% (108/1,147); half of the patients (54/108) were asymptomatic. Multivariate analysis did not reveal any significant differences in symptoms or lifestyle factors between newly diagnosed COPD patients and non-COPD participants. However, according to the generalized linear model, older age (β = -0.062, p < 0.001), male sex (β = -0.031, p = 0.047), and respiratory symptoms (β = -0.025, p = 0.013) were associated with more severe airflow limitation. Conclusion Newly diagnosed COPD patients had few differences compared with the general population, which suggests that a targeted case finding strategy other than general screening was currently preferred. More attention should be paid to respiratory symptoms when making a diagnosis and exploring new therapies and interventions for COPD in the early stage.
