Abstract
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive lung disease characterized by progressive lung fibrogenesis and histological features of usual interstitial pneumonia. IPF has a poor prognosis and presents a spectrum of disease courses ranging from slow evolving disease to rapid deterioration; thus, a differential diagnosis remains challenging. Several biomarkers have been identified to achieve a differential diagnosis; however, comprehensive reviews are lacking. This review summarizes over 100 biomarkers which can be divided into six categories according to their functions: differentially expressed biomarkers in the IPF compared to healthy controls; biomarkers distinguishing IPF from other types of interstitial lung disease; biomarkers differentiating acute exacerbation of IPF from stable disease; biomarkers predicting disease progression; biomarkers related to disease severity; and biomarkers related to treatment. Specimen used for the diagnosis of IPF included serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung tissue, and sputum. IPF-specific biomarkers are of great clinical value for the differential diagnosis of IPF. Currently, the physiological measurements used to evaluate the occurrence of acute exacerbation, disease progression, and disease severity have limitations. Combining physiological measurements with biomarkers may increase the accuracy and sensitivity of diagnosis and disease evaluation of IPF. Most biomarkers described in this review are not routinely used in clinical practice. Future large-scale multicenter studies are required to design and validate suitable biomarker panels that have diagnostic utility for IPF.

Diagnosis of Fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: Is There a Role for Biomarkers? Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13020565. [PMID: 36836922 PMCID: PMC9966605 DOI: 10.3390/life13020565] [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: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a complex interstitial lung syndrome and is associated with significant morbimortality, particularly for fibrotic disease. This condition is characterized by sensitization to a specific antigen, whose early identification is associated with improved outcomes. Biomarkers measure objectively biologic processes and may support clinical decisions. These tools evolved to play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of human diseases. This is not the case, however, with hypersensitivity pneumonitis, where there is still great room for research in the path to find consensual diagnostic biomarkers. Gaps in the current evidence include lack of validation, validation against healthy controls alone, small sampling and heterogeneity in diagnostic and classification criteria. Furthermore, discriminatory accuracy is currently limited by overlapping mechanisms of inflammation, damage and fibrogenesis between ILDs. Still, biomarkers such as BAL lymphocyte counts and specific serum IgGs made their way into clinical guidelines, while others including KL-6, SP-D, YKL-40 and apolipoproteins have shown promising results in leading centers and have potential to translate into daily practice. As research proceeds, it is expected that the emergence of novel categories of biomarkers will offer new and thriving tools that could complement those currently available.

Detection of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are enhanced by involvement of matrix metalloproteinases levels and clinical diagnosis. J Clin Lab Anal 2022; 36:e24734. [PMID: 36250225 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.24734] [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: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher detection of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), has significant diagnostic and therapeutic implications. Some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have become reliable diagnostic biomarkers in IPAF and IPF in previous studies, yet relevant reliability remains to be recognized. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 36 ILDs patients, including 31 IPAF patients (Mean ± SD, 50.20 ± 5.10 years; 16 [51.6%] females) and five IPF patients (Mean ± SD, 61.20 ± 6.73 years; one [20.0%] females) were retrospectively enrolled. Serial serum samples were collected from patients with IPAF and IPF between January 2019 and December 2020. Notably, Serum MMPs levels were measured by U-PLEX Biomarker Group 1(Human) Multiplex Assays (MSD, USA). RESULTS A combination of MMPs and combinatorial biomarkers was strongly associated with clinical subjects in this study (AUC, 0.597 for Stability vs. Improvement and 0.756 for Stability vs. Exacerbation). Importantly, the AUC of MMP-12 reaches 0.730 (p < 0.05, Stability AUC vs. Improvement AUC) while MMP-13 reaches 0.741 (p < 0.05, Stability AUC vs. Exacerbation AUC) showed better performance than other MMPs in two comparisons. CONCLUSIONS Clinical risk factors and MMPs are strongly associated with either stratification of the disease of progression of IPAF or in two IPAF and IPF independent cohorts. To our knowledge, this is the first to illustrate that MMP-12 and MMP-13 may be expected to become typical promising biomarkers in Improvement - IPAF and Exacerbation - IPAF, respectively.

Abstract
Background: The presence of emphysema is relatively common in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease. This has been designated combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). The lack of consensus over definitions and diagnostic criteria has limited CPFE research. Goals: The objectives of this task force were to review the terminology, definition, characteristics, pathophysiology, and research priorities of CPFE and to explore whether CPFE is a syndrome. Methods: This research statement was developed by a committee including 19 pulmonologists, 5 radiologists, 3 pathologists, 2 methodologists, and 2 patient representatives. The final document was supported by a focused systematic review that identified and summarized all recent publications related to CPFE. Results: This task force identified that patients with CPFE are predominantly male, with a history of smoking, severe dyspnea, relatively preserved airflow rates and lung volumes on spirometry, severely impaired DlCO, exertional hypoxemia, frequent pulmonary hypertension, and a dismal prognosis. The committee proposes to identify CPFE as a syndrome, given the clustering of pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, shared pathogenetic pathways, unique considerations related to disease progression, increased risk of complications (pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer, and/or mortality), and implications for clinical trial design. There are varying features of interstitial lung disease and emphysema in CPFE. The committee offers a research definition and classification criteria and proposes that studies on CPFE include a comprehensive description of radiologic and, when available, pathological patterns, including some recently described patterns such as smoking-related interstitial fibrosis. Conclusions: This statement delineates the syndrome of CPFE and highlights research priorities.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23136894. [PMID: 35805895 PMCID: PMC9267107 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23136894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 06/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is characterized by aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, activation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts and parenchymal disorganization, which have an impact on the biomechanical traits of the lung. In this context, the balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) is lost. Interestingly, several MMPs are overexpressed during PF and exhibit a clear profibrotic role (MMP-2, -3, -8, -11, -12 and -28), but a few are antifibrotic (MMP-19), have both profibrotic and antifibrotic capacity (MMP7), or execute an unclear (MMP-1, -9, -10, -13, -14) or unknown function. TIMPs are also overexpressed in PF; hence, the modulation and function of MMPs and TIMP are more complex than expected. EMMPRIN/CD147 (also known as basigin) is a transmembrane glycoprotein from the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) that was first described to induce MMP activity in fibroblasts. It also interacts with other molecules to execute non-related MMP aactions well-described in cancer progression, migration, and invasion. Emerging evidence strongly suggests that CD147 plays a key role in PF not only by MMP induction but also by stimulating fibroblast myofibroblast transition. In this review, we study the structure and function of MMPs, TIMPs and CD147 in PF and their complex crosstalk between them.

Abstract
Persistent injuries and chronic inflammation paired with dysregulated healing process in the lungs leads to scarring and stiffening of the tissue leading to a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. There is no efficacious therapy against the condition because of the poorly understood pathophysiology of the disease. Curcumin is well known anti-inflammatory natural compound and is shown to have beneficial effects in many diseases. It is also reported to show antifibrotic activities in pulmonary fibrosis. There are evidences that fibrinolytic system plays a crucial role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. We aimed to see whether curcumin could regulate inflammation and fibrinolysis in murine model of pulmonary fibrosis. We prepared BLM induced pulmonary fibrosis model by administering BLM at a dose of 2 mg/ kg bodyweight. Curcumin (75 mg/kg body wt) was instilled intraperitoneally on different time points. The effect of curcumin on inflammatory cytokines and fibrinolytic system was studied using molecular biology techniques like RT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence. We observed that BLM brought changes in the expressions of components in the fibrinolytic system, i.e. BLM favoured fibrin deposition by increasing the expression of PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor) and decreasing the expression of uPA (Urokinase plasminogen activator) and uPAR (Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor). We also demonstrate that curcumin could restore the normal expression of fibrinolytic components, uPA, uPAR and PAI-1. Curcumin could also minimize the expression of key enzymes in tissue remodeling in pulmonary fibrosis, MMP-2 and MMP-9, which were elevated in the BLM treated group. Our data suggest that curcumin exerts an anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effect in lungs. We highlight curcumin as a feasible adjuvant therapy option against pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal disease with limited therapeutic options and a particularly poor prognosis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), promising targets for the treatment of IPF, have been identified as playing a pivotal role in IPF. Although the pathological processes of MMPs and IPF have been verified, there are no MMP inhibitors for the treatment of IPF in the clinic. In this review, we will present the latest developments in MMP inhibitors, including pharmacophores, binding modes, selectivity and optimization strategies. In addition, we will also discuss the future development direction of MMP inhibitors based on emerging tools and techniques.

S100A9/CD163 expression profiles in classical monocytes as biomarkers to discriminate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis from idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. Sci Rep 2021; 11:12135. [PMID: 34108546 PMCID: PMC8190107 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-91407-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Circulating monocytes have pathogenic relevance in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Here, we determined whether the cell surface levels of two markers, pro-inflammatory-related S100A9 and anti-inflammatory-related CD163, expressed on CD14strongCD16− classical monocytes by flow cytometry could discriminate IPF from idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (iNSIP). Twenty-five patients with IPF, 25 with iNSIP, and 20 healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled in this study. The S100A9+CD163− cell percentages in classical monocytes showed a pronounced decrease on monocytes in iNSIP compared to that in IPF. In contrast, the percentages of S100A9−CD163+ cells were significantly higher in iNSIP patients than in IPF patients and healthy volunteers. In IPF patients, there was a trend toward a correlation between the percentage of S100A9+CD163− monocytes and the surfactant protein-D (SP-D) serum levels (r = 0.4158, [95% confidence interval (CI) − 0.02042–0.7191], p = 0.051). The individual percentages of S100A9+CD163− and S100A9−CD163+ cells were also independently associated with IPF through multivariate regression analysis. The unadjusted area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) to discriminate IPF from iNSIP was (ROC-AUC 0.802, 95% CI [0.687–0.928]), suggesting that these are better biomarkers than serum SP-D (p < 0.05). This preliminary study reports the first comparative characterization of monocyte phenotypes between IPF and iNSIP.

Abstract
To investigate the expression pattern and diagnostic performance of matrix metalloproteinase 28 (MMP28) in pancreatic cancer (PC).The RNA-seq data of PC and normal pancreas tissue were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression. Clinical information of PC that included prognostic data was obtained from TCGA. Later, Fisher exact test was applied for comparison of different clinicopathological features between high and low expression of MMP28 in PC. Afterwards, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox analysis (univariate and multivariate analysis) were used to explore the prognostic performance of MMP28 in PC cohort. Finally, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed the potential signaling pathways related to high expression of MMP28 in PC.Upregulation of MMP28 was identified in PC tissue compared to normal pancreas tissue (P < .001). Overexpression of MMP28 was related to histological grade (P < .001), M classification (P = .014), and survival status (P = .028). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that high level of MMP28 implied unfavorable prognosis in PC (P = .002). Multivariate analysis confirmed that MMP28 was an independent risk factor in PC (hazard rate = 1.308, P = .018). Our GSEA analysis found that signaling pathways including glycolysis, p53 pathway, notch signaling, estrogen response late, cholesterol homeostasis, estrogen response early, mitotic spindle, and transforming growth factor beta signaling were enriched in the group with higher MMP28 expression.High expression of MMP28 could be identified in PC, which also served as an independent risk element for PC.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating chronic progressive and fibrosing lung disease that culminates in the destruction of alveolar integrity and dismal prognosis. Its etiology is unknown and pathophysiology remains unclear. While great advances have been made in elucidating the pathogenesis mechanism, considerable gaps related to information on pathogenetic pathways and key protein targets involved in the clinical course of the disease exist. These issues need to be addressed for better clinical management of this highly challenging disease. Omics approach has revolutionized the entire area of disease understanding and holds promise in its translation to clinical biomarker discovery. This review outlines the contribution of proteomics towards identification of important biomarkers in IPF in terms of their clinical utility, i.e. prognosis, differential diagnosis, disease progression and treatment monitoring. The major dysregulated pathways associated with IPF are also discussed. Based on numerous proteomics studies on human and animal models, it is proposed that IPF pathogenesis involves complex interactions of several pathways such as oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, unfolded protein response, coagulation system, inflammation, abnormal wounding, fibroblast proliferation, fibrogenesis and deposition of extracellular matrix. These pathways and their key path-changing mediators need further validation in large well-planned multi-centric trials at various geographical locations for successful development of clinical biomarkers of this confounding disease.

Abstract
Fibrosing diseases are causes of morbidity and mortality around the world, and they are characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation. The bHLH transcription factor scleraxis (SCX) regulates the synthesis of ECM proteins in heart fibrosis. SCX expression was evaluated in lung fibroblasts and tissue derived from fibrotic disease patients and healthy controls. We also measured SCX in sera from 57 healthy controls, and 56 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), 40 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP), and 100 Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) patients. We report high SCX expression in fibroblasts and tissue from IPF patients versus controls. High SCX-serum levels were observed in IPF (0.663 ± 0.559 ng/mL, p < 0.01) and SSc (0.611 ± 0.296 ng/mL, p < 0.001), versus controls (0.351 ± 0.207 ng/mL) and HP (0.323 ± 0.323 ng/mL). Serum levels of the SCX heterodimerization partner, TCF3, did not associate with fibrotic illness. IPF patients with severely affected respiratory capacities and late-stage SSc patients presenting anti-topoisomerase I antibodies and interstitial lung disease showed the highest SCX-serum levels. SCX gain-of-function induced the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA/ACTA2) in fibroblasts when co-overexpressed with TCF3. As late and severe stages of the fibrotic processes correlated with high circulating SCX, we postulate it as a candidate biomarker of fibrosis and a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) has been redefined as a new clinical syndrome that shares similar genetics, pathophysiology, and natural history to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF is the most common form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, which is progressive in nature and is associated with significant mortality. Therapies targeting an inflammatory and/or immune response have not been consistently effective or well tolerated in patients with IPF. The two antifibrotic drugs approved for IPF treatment, nintedanib and pirfenidone, have been shown to reduce lung function decline in PF-ILD. Novel uses of antifibrotic therapy are emerging due to a paucity of evidence-based treatments for multiple ILD subtypes. In this review, we describe the current body of knowledge on antifibrotic therapy and immunomodulators in PF-ILD, drawing from experience in IPF where appropriate.

Abstract
Biomarkers have the potential to become central to the clinical evaluation and monitoring of patients with chronic fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with a progressive phenotype. Here we summarize the current understanding of putative serum, BAL fluid, and genetic biomarkers in this setting, according to their hypothesized pathobiologic mechanisms: evidence of epithelial cell dysfunction (eg, Krebs von den Lungen-6 antigen), fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix production or turnover (eg, matrix metalloproteinase-1), or immune dysregulation (eg, CC chemokine ligand 18). While most of the available data come from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the prototypic progressive fibrosing ILD, data are available in the broader patient population of chronic fibrosing ILDs. A number of these biomarkers show promise, however, none have been validated. In this review article, we assess both the status of proposed biomarkers for chronic fibrosing lung diseases with a progressive phenotype in predicting disease risk or predisposition, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response and provide a direct comparison between IPF and other chronic fibrotic ILDs. We also reflect on the current clinical usefulness and future direction of research for biomarkers in the setting of chronic fibrosing ILDs with a progressive phenotype.

Abstract
Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating and progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease often resulting in death over several years. Prediction of disease course or survival remains of keen interest for clinicians and patients though a commonly used test or tool remain elusive. Areas covered: We undertook a comprehensive review of the published literature highlighting prognostic indicators and predictors of survival in IPF. Baseline and longitudinal clinical, functional, histopathologic, and radiologic findings have been extensively studied as prognostic predictors, both individually and in composite models. Recent approaches include automated quantifiable radiologic scoring, circulating biomarkers, and genetic polymorphisms or abnormalities. This review highlights individual and composite predictors and their relative utility in clinical practice and research studies. Expert opinion: There is a growing body of knowledge highlighting readily available individual and composite predictors of outcome, though none have come to the forefront for common clinical use. Recent advances include quantitative imaging analysis, circulating serologic markers, and genetic testing, which may be more standardized and less prone to lead-time bias or related complications and comorbidities.
