Abstract
Biomarkers provide important diagnostic and prognostic information on heterogeneous diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, finding a suitable specimen for clinical analysis of biomarkers for COPD is challenging. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) sampling is noninvasive, rapid, cost-effective and easily repeatable. EBC sampling has also provided recent progress in the identification of biological macromolecules, such as lipids, proteins and DNA in EBC samples, which has increased its utility for clinical scientists. In this article, we review applications involving EBC sampling for the analysis of COPD biomarkers and discuss its future potential.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke contains more than 4500 chemicals which have toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Strong evidences have shown that current smokers take a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer than nonsmokers. However, less attention has been paid to the smoking induced abnormalities in the individuals defined as healthy smokers who are normal with spirometry, radiographic images, routine physical exam and categorized as healthy control group in many researches. Actually, ‘healthy smokers’ are not healthy. This narrative review focuses on the smoking related pathophysiologic changes mainly in the respiratory system of healthy smokers, including inflammation and immune changes, genetic alterations, structural changes and pulmonary dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Neutrophils have been involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Underlying mechanisms of neutrophil accumulation in the airways of stable and exacerbated COPD patients are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess exhaled breath condensate (EBC) neutrophil chemotactic activity, the level of two chemoattractants for neutrophils (GRO-α and LTB4) during the course of an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). Methods 50 ex smoking COPD patients (33 with acute exacerbation and 17 in stable disease) and 20 matched ex smoking healthy controls were compared. EBC was collected by using a commercially available condenser (EcoScreen®). EBC neutrophil chemotactic activity (NCA) was assessed by using Boyden microchambers. Chemotactic index (CI) was used to evaluate cell migration. LTB4 and GROα levels were measured by a specific enzyme immunoassay in EBC. Results Stable COPD and outpatients with AECOPD, but not hospitalized with AECOPD, had raised EBC NCA compared to healthy subjects (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 respectively). In outpatients with AECOPD EBC NCA significantly decreased 6 weeks after the exacerbation. Overall EBC NCA was weakly correlated with sputum neutrophil counts (r = 0.26, p < 0.05). EBC LTB4 levels were increased in all groups of COPD compared to healthy subjects while GRO-α was only raised in patients with AECOPD. Furthermore, EBC LTB4 and GRO-α significantly decreased after recovery of the acute exacerbation. Increasing concentrations (0.1 to 10 μg/mL) of anti- human GRO-α monoclonal antibody had no effect on EBC neutrophil chemotactic activity of 10 exacerbated COPD patients. Conclusions EBC NCA rose during acute exacerbation of COPD in ambulatory patients and decreased at recovery. While LTB4 seems to play a role both in stable and in exacerbated phase of the disease, the role of GRO-α as a chemotactic factor during AECOPD is not clearly established and needs further investigation.

Abstract
In order to gain a deeper understanding of the onset and progression of pulmonary infections we present and analyze a low dimensional, phenomenological model of infection and the innate immune response in the lungs. Because pulmonary innate immunity has features unique to itself, general mathematical models of the immune system may not be appropriate. The differential equations model that we propose is based on current knowledge of the biology of pulmonary innate immunity and accurately reproduces known features of the initial phase of the dynamics of pulmonary innate system as exhibited in recent experiments. Further, we propose to use the model as a starting point for interrogation with clinical data from a new noninvasive technique for sampling alveolar lining fluid.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of the present article is to review available data on possible links between phenotypes and inflammatory profiles in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). BACKGROUND Chronic bronchitis is associated with proximal bronchial inflammation and small airway inflammation with remodeling at the site of obstruction. CT scanning enables patients to be phenotyped according to the predominantly bronchial or emphysematous nature of the morphological abnormality. Exacerbations, in a context of persistently elevated baseline inflammation, are associated with increased inflammation and a poor prognosis. Long-term studies have correlated inflammatory markers (and anti-inflammatory drug effects) with dynamic hyperinflation, possibly confirming that inflammation promotes hyperinflation. The inflammatory cell count in the pulmonary arterial walls correlates with the severity of endothelial dysfunction. The risk of developing pulmonary hypertension would seem to increase with low-grade systemic inflammation. The role of low-grade systemic inflammation in COPD co-morbidities, and in nutritional and muscular involvement in particular, remains a matter of debate. Regular physical exercise may help reduce this inflammation. CONCLUSIONS In COPD, many aspects of the clinical phenotype are related to inflammation. Better knowledge of these relationships could help optimize current and future treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The collection of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive method for evaluation of airway inflammation. This article reviews recent data concerning the ability of EBC markers to reflect alterations in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or environment and occupation-induced changes. RECENT FINDINGS The recovery of biomarkers in EBC is affected by physical characteristics of the condensing device and collecting circumstances as well as environmental conditions or exercise. The complexities of nitrogen oxide chemistry make assessment of nitric oxide metabolites in EBC and exhaled nitric oxide complementary. Analysing of EBC markers is valuable in asthma, as changes were reported irrespective of current anti-inflammatory treatment or atopic status as well as in monitoring cigarette smoking-related airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease might be a potential confounder for the level of inflammation markers in EBC. In general, patterns of markers are likely to more accurately reflect the complex pathophysiological processes and therefore should be evaluated rather than a single marker. SUMMARY EBC might be of particular interest in preventive medicine as inflammatory processes triggered may precede changes in lung function. Robust and easy-to-handle condensing devices and analytical methods are warranted to spread the use of EBC.

Abstract
ATP, released at the leading edge of migrating neutrophils, amplifies chemotactic signals. The aim of our study was to investigate whether neutrophils express ATP-gated P2X(1) ion channels and whether these channels could play a role in chemotaxis. Whole-cell patch clamp experiments showed rapidly desensitizing currents in both human and mouse neutrophils stimulated with P2X(1) agonists, alphabeta-methylene ATP (alphabetaMeATP) and betagammaMeATP. These currents were strongly impaired or absent in neutrophils from P2X(1)(-/-) mice. In Boyden chamber assays, alphabetaMeATP provoked chemokinesis and enhanced formylated peptide- and IL-8-induced chemotaxis of human neutrophils. This agonist similarly increased W-peptide-induced chemotaxis of wild-type mouse neutrophils, whereas it had no effect on P2X(1)(-/-) neutrophils. In human as in mouse neutrophils, alphabetaMeATP selectively activated the small RhoGTPase RhoA that caused reversible myosin L chain phosphorylation. Moreover, the alphabetaMeATP-elicited neutrophil movements were prevented by the two Rho kinase inhibitors, Y27632 and H1152. In a gradient of W-peptide, P2X(1)(-/-) neutrophils migrated with reduced speed and displayed impaired trailing edge retraction. Finally, neutrophil recruitment in mouse peritoneum upon Escherichia coli injection was enhanced in wild-type mice treated with alphabetaMeATP, whereas it was significantly impaired in the P2X(1)(-/-) mice. Thus, activation of P2X(1) ion channels by ATP promotes neutrophil chemotaxis, a process involving Rho kinase-dependent actomyosin-mediated contraction at the cell rear. These ion channels may therefore play a significant role in host defense and inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophils have been implicated in the pathogenesis of COPD. Several chemoattractants for neutrophils have been measured in samples of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and induced sputum (IS) from patients with COPD. The aims of this study were to compare EBC and IS supernatant neutrophil chemotactic activity (NCA) from ex-smoking subjects with COPD and healthy ex-smokers, and to assess the contribution of leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) to this activity. METHODS Thirty-four subjects with COPD were compared to 24 control subjects. EBC and IS chemotactic activity for neutrophils was assessed by using Boyden microchambers. The chemotactic index was used to evaluate cell migration. LTB(4) was measured by a specific enzyme immunoassay. The contribution of LTB(4) to EBC and sputum neutrophil chemotaxis was assessed by an LTB(4) receptor antagonist (U-75302; Cayman Chemical Company; Ann Arbor, MI). RESULTS EBC and IS samples from both COPD patients and healthy subjects displayed significant NCA, but this activity was raised in COPD patients compared to healthy subjects. The chemotactic activity contained in sputum, however, failed to correlate with that in EBC. In COPD patients, there was a significant correlation between EBC NCA and sputum neutrophil counts. LTB(4) levels were raised in EBC samples, but not in sputum samples, from COPD subjects compared to those from healthy subjects. LTB(4) receptor antagonist concentrations (2.5 x 10(-4) mol/L) reduced by 44.6% and by 44.4%, respectively, the chemotactic activity contained in the EBC and sputum samples. CONCLUSIONS EBC and IS from COPD patients have a raised NCA to which LTB(4) contributes.

Abstract
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a potential rich source for countless biomarkers that can provide valuable information about respiratory as well as systemic diseases. EBC has been studied in a variety of diseases including allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Although numerous biomarkers have been discovered and studied in EBC, the methods of collection and biomarker detection have not been fully standardized. While leaving standardization methods up to individual labs for the present time is optimal for the continued discovery of new biomarkers in EBC, this decreases the reproducibility and generalizability of the findings. In this review we will discuss specific biomarkers studied in specific diseases as well as some of the related technical issues including collection, processing and analysis.
