Sule NO, Suissa S. Statins and Mortality in COPD: A Methodological Review of Observational Studies. COPD 2023; 20:284-291. [PMID: 37555454 DOI: 10.1080/15412555.2023.2242489] [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: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023]
Abstract
Randomized controlled trials and observational studies have reported conflicting results on the potential beneficial effects of statins on mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We performed a systematic search of the literature to review all observational studies reporting relative risks of death with statin use in COPD, focusing on potential sources of bias. We identified 15 observational studies, out of 2835, of which 12 were affected by time-related and other biases and the remaining 3 by confounding bias. All 15 studies were also subject to confounding bias due to lack of adjustment for important COPD-related factors. The risk of death associated with statin use was reduced across all 15 studies (pooled relative risk (PRR) 0.66; 95% CI: 0.59-0.74). The reduction was observed in 7 studies with immortal time bias (PRR 0.62; 95%: 0.53-0.72), two with collider-stratification bias (PRR 0.60; 95% CI: 0.45-0.80), one with time-window bias (RR 0.61; 95% CI: 0.38-0.98), one with immeasurable time bias (RR 0.50; 95% CI: 0.40-0.62), and one with exposure misclassification (RR 0.86; 95% CI: 0.72-1.03). The three studies that avoided these biases were, however, affected by confounding bias resulting in a PRR of 0.77 (95% CI: 0.61-0.98). In conclusion, the observational studies investigating statin use and mortality in COPD are affected by major biases, many of which can result in spurious protective effects. Well-designed observational studies that carefully emulate randomized trials are needed to resolve this uncertainty regarding the potential beneficial benefits of statins on mortality in patients with COPD.

Impact of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions on mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Respir Med Res 2023; 84:101035. [PMID: 37651981 DOI: 10.1016/j.resmer.2023.101035] [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: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This review aimed to summarise evidence about the impact of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions on survival in COPD patients. METHODS We performed a narrative literature review on the effect of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions on survival in COPD patients. RESULTS Inhaled therapies are central to reduce symptoms in COPD. In particular, inhaled steroids seem to have the greatest effect on mortality. Despite the anti-inflammatory effects attributed to statins, their benefit in COPD has been shown only in cases of combined cardiovascular diseases. The use of beta-blockers in COPD has not been associated with increased COPD-related mortality and a beneficial effect on all-cause mortality has even been shown in COPD patients with cardiovascular diseases. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination reduced the occurrence of exacerbations and mortality due to COPD. In addition, long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) (≥15h/day) in COPD patients with severe hypoxemia had a positive effect on survival. Regarding non-pharmacological interventions, it has been demonstrated that smoking cessation, treatment compliance and nutritional supplementation for underweight patients also have a positive effect on survival. Non-invasive ventilation results were dependent on patient PaCO2 levels. In patients with advanced COPD, further prospective studies are needed to know the effect of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction and lung transplant on COPD survival. Regarding lung transplant, a survival benefit in patients with a pre-transplant BODE score of ≥7 has been shown in retrospective studies. CONCLUSION Most of the studies did not evaluate survival as the main criteria and further long-term studies on the global management of COPD are required.

Abstract
Older adults have a higher prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which will likely increase substantially in the coming decades owing to aging populations and increased long-term exposure to risk factors for this disease. COPD in older adults is characterized by low-grade chronic systemic inflammation, known as inflamm-aging. It contributes substantially to age-associated pulmonary changes that are clinically expressed by reduced lung function, poor health status, and limitations in activities of daily living. In addition, inflamm-aging has been associated with the onset of many comorbidities commonly encountered in COPD. Furthermore, physiologic changes that are often seen with aging can influence the optimal treatment of older patients with COPD. Therefore, variables such as pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, polypharmacy, comorbidities, adverse drug responses, drug interactions, method of administration, and social and economic issues that impact nutrition and adherence to therapy must be carefully evaluated when prescribing medication to these patients because each of them alone or together may affect the outcome of treatment. Current COPD medications focus mainly on alleviating COPD-related symptoms, so alternative treatment approaches that target the disease progression are being investigated. Considering the importance of inflamm-aging, new anti-inflammatory molecules are being evaluated, focusing on inhibiting the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells, blocking mediators of inflammation thought to be important in the recruitment or activation of these inflammatory cells or released by these cells. Potential therapies that may slow the aging processes by acting on cellular senescence, blocking the processes that cause it (senostatics), eliminating senescent cells (senolytics), or targeting the ongoing oxidative stress seen with aging need to be evaluated.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are endogenously expressed RNAs longer than 200 nt that are not translated into proteins. In general, lncRNAs bind to mRNA, miRNA, DNA, and proteins and regulate gene expression at various cellular and molecular levels, including epigenetics, transcription, post-transcription, translation, and post-translation. LncRNAs play important roles in many biological processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell metabolism, angiogenesis, migration, endothelial dysfunction, endothelial-mesenchymal transition, regulation of cell cycle, and cellular differentiation, and have become an important topic of study in genetic research in health and disease due to their close link with the development of various diseases. The exceptional stability, conservation, and abundance of lncRNAs in body fluids, have made them potential biomarkers for a wide range of diseases. LncRNA MALAT1 is one of the best-studied lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancers and cardiovascular diseases. A growing body of evidence suggests that aberrant expression of MALAT1 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of lung diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung cancers, and pulmonary hypertension through different mechanisms. Here we discuss the roles and molecular mechanisms of MALAT1 in the pathogenesis of these lung diseases.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a widespread disease associated with high rates of disability and mortality. COPD is characterized by chronic inflammation in the bronchi as well as systemic inflammation, which contributes significantly to the clinically heterogeneous course of the disease. Lipid metabolism disorders are common in COPD, being a part of its pathogenesis. High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are not only involved in lipid metabolism, but are also part of the organism’s immune and antioxidant defense. In addition, HDL is a versatile transport system for endogenous regulatory agents and is also involved in the removal of exogenous substances such as lipopolysaccharide. These functions, as well as information about lipoprotein metabolism disorders in COPD, allow a broader assessment of their role in the pathogenesis of heterogeneous and comorbid course of the disease.

Risk of COPD Exacerbations Associated with Statins versus Fibrates: A New User, Active Comparison, and High-Dimensional Propensity Score Matched Cohort Study. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2021; 16:2721-2733. [PMID: 34621122 PMCID: PMC8491865 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s323391] [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: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Several observational studies have found that statins may materially decrease the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. However, most of these studies used a prevalent user, non-user comparison approach, which may lead to overestimation of the clinical benefits of statins. We aimed to explore the risk of COPD exacerbations associated with statins with a new user, active comparison approach to address potential methodological concerns. We selected fibrates, another class of lipid-lowering agents, as the reference group because no evidence suggests that fibrates have an effect on COPD exacerbations. Methods We identified patients with COPD who initiated statins or fibrates from a nationwide Taiwanese database. Patients were followed from cohort entry to the earliest of the following: hospitalization for COPD exacerbations, death, end of the data, or 180 days after cohort entry. Stratified Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of COPD exacerbations comparing statins with fibrates after variable-ratio propensity score (PS) matching and high-dimensional PS (hd-PS) matching, respectively. Results We identified a total of 134,909 eligible patients (110,726 initiated statins; 24,183 initiated fibrates); 1979 experienced COPD exacerbations during follow-up. The HRs were 1.10 (95% CI, 0.96 to 1.26) after PS matching and 1.08 (95% CI, 0.94 to 1.24) after hd-PS matching. The results did not differ materially by type of statins and patient characteristic and did not change with longer follow-up durations. Conclusion This large-scale, population-based cohort study did not show that use of statins was associated with a reduced risk of acute exacerbations in patients with COPD using state-of-the-art pharmacoepidemiologic approaches. The findings emphasize the importance of applying appropriate methodology in exploring statin effectiveness in real-world settings.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the role of methylation of MALAT1 and miR-146a in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD patients were grouped according to their methylation status of MALAT1 and miR-146a promoters, and we found that forced vital capacity, volume that has been exhaled at the end of the first second of forced expiration, and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide were the highest in the MALAT1 HYPO + miR-146a HYPER group and lowest in the MALAT1 HYPER + miR-146a HYPO group, and COPD patients with hypermethylated MALAT1 showed lower expression of MALAT1 than that in the COPD patients with hypomethylated MALAT1. Meanwhile, miR-146a was the most significantly upregulated in the MALAT1 HYPER + miR-146a HYPO group and the most significantly downregulated in the MALAT1 HYPO + miR-146a HYPER group. Both prostaglandin E1 and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) expression were the highest in the MALAT1 HYPO + miR-146a HYPER group and the lowest in the MALAT1 HYPER + miR-146a HYPO group. In conclusion, our results established a MALAT1/miR-146a/COX2 signaling axis. The overexpression of MALAT1 could increase the expression of COX2 by inhibiting the expression of miR-146a, thus affecting the pulmonary function of COPD patients.

Abstract
Background Beta-blockers have been proposed to improve COPD-related outcomes, yet studies report conflicting results. We aimed to investigate the effect of beta blockers on time-to-first exacerbation and all-cause mortality in high-risk COPD outpatients. Methods All COPD outpatients managed at the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Copenhagen University Hospital – Hvidovre, Denmark in 2016 were followed for 3.5 years in this retrospective, registry-based cohort study. Outcomes were time-to-first acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) or death. The association was estimated using time-varying crude and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression adjusted for age, sex, BMI, use of COPD medication, smoking status, cardiovascular disease and COPD severity. Results The cohort comprised 950 COPD outpatients, mean age 71 (SD 11) years, and FEV1 44% predicted (IQR 33%; 57%). The annual exacerbation rate was 0.88 (SD 1.68) and 211 patients (22%) had a history of hospitalization requiring AECOPD within 12 months. Of the enrolled patients, 247 (26%) were prescribed beta blockers. Beta-blocker use was associated, although with borderline significance, with increased all-cause mortality (HR 1.37 (95% CI, 0.99 to 1.89, p = 0.059)). On the other hand, beta blocker use did not reduce the risk of AECOPD (HR = 0.89 (95% CI 0.71 to 1.10; p = 0.270)), which remained non-significant after stratifying for severity of exacerbations. Conclusion We found an association between beta blocker use and all-cause mortality in high-risk COPD outpatients. No association was found between beta blocker use and risk of AECOPD.

Abstract
Exacerbations largely determine the character of the progression and prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exacerbations are connected with changes in the microbiological landscape in the bronchi due to a violation of their immune homeostasis. Many metabolic and immune processes involved in COPD progression are associated with bacterial colonization of the bronchi. The objective of this review is the analysis of the molecular mechanisms of lipid metabolism and immune response disorders in the lungs in COPD exacerbations. The complex role of lipid metabolism disorders in the pathogenesis of some infections is only beginning to be understood, however, there are already fewer and fewer doubts even now about its significance both in the pathogenesis of infectious exacerbations of COPD and in general in the progression of the disease. It is shown that the lipid rafts of the plasma membranes of cells are involved in many processes related to the detection of pathogens, signal transduction, the penetration of pathogens into the cell. Smoking disrupts the normally proceeded processes of lipid metabolism in the lungs, which is a part of the COPD pathogenesis.
