Abstract
BACKGROUND COPD is a complex respiratory disorder with high morbidity and mortality rates. Even with the current conventional diagnostic methods, including circulating inflammatory biomarkers, underdiagnosis rates in COPD remain as high as 70%. Our study was a comparative cross-sectional study that aimed to address the diagnostic challenges by identifying future biomarker candidates in COPD variants. METHODS This study used a label-free plasma proteomics approach that combined mass spectrometric data with bioinformatics to shed light on the functional roles of differentially expressed proteins in the COPD lung microenvironment. The predictive capacity of the screened proteins was assessed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, with Western blot analysis validating protein expression patterns in an independent cohort. RESULTS Our study identified three DEPs-reticulocalbin-1, sideroflexin-4, and liprinα-3 that consistently exhibited altered expression in COPD exacerbation. ROC analysis indicated strong predictive potential, with AUC values of 0.908, 0.715, and 0.856 for RCN1, SFXN4, and LIPα-3, respectively. Validation through Western blot analysis confirmed their expression patterns in an independent validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS Our study discovered a novel duo of proteins reticulocalbin-1, and sideroflexin-4 that showed potential as valuable future biomarkers for the diagnosis and clinical management of COPD exacerbations.

Biomedicines 2024; 12:419. [PMID: 38398020 PMCID: PMC10887397 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12020419] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The role of natural killer (NK) cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis has been discussed but is not yet clearly understood. This current study aimed to evaluate the associations between immunophenotypes, degrees of maturity, and the expression level of functional receptors of NK cells in the lung environment present in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and an attempt was made to determine their relationship in the course and progression of COPD. A total of 15 COPD patients and 14 healthy smokers were included. The clinical parameters of COPD were evaluated. In both groups, NK cells using monoclonal antibodies directly conjugated with fluorochromes in flow cytometry were assessed in the peripheral blood. Additionally, NK cells using the same method were assessed in BALF in the COPD subgroup. The blood's NK cells differed from the estimated group's maturity and receptor expression. Functional receptors CD158b+, CD314+, and CD336+ expressed by NK cells were significantly interlinked with age, RV, TLC, 6MWT, smoking, and the number of exacerbations. These results confirm the essential role of NK cells in COPD pathogenesis. Additionally, the relationship between clinical parameters and NK cell expression may indicate its participation in the disease progression and exacerbation and allow for a better understanding of NK cell biology in COPD.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer combined by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (LC-COPD) is a common comorbidity and their interaction with each other poses significant clinical challenges. However, there is a lack of well-established consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of LC-COPD. Methods A panel of experts, comprising specialists in oncology, respiratory medicine, radiology, interventional medicine, and thoracic surgery, was convened. The panel was presented with a comprehensive review of the current evidence pertaining to LC-COPD. After thorough discussions, the panel reached a consensus on 17 recommendations with over 70% agreement in voting to enhance the management of LC-COPD and optimize the care of these patients. Results The 17 statements focused on pathogenic mechanisms (n=2), general strategies (n=4), and clinical application in COPD (n=2) and lung cancer (n=9) were developed and modified. These statements provide guidance on early screening and treatment selection of LC-COPD, the interplay of lung cancer and COPD on treatment, and considerations during treatment. This consensus also emphasizes patient-centered and personalized treatment in the management of LC-COPD. Conclusions The consensus highlights the need for concurrent treatment for both lung cancer and COPD in LC-COPD patients, while being mindful of the mutual influence of the two conditions on treatment and monitoring for adverse reactions.

Treatment response and safety of immunotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a retrospective cohort study. Transl Lung Cancer Res 2022; 11:2306-2317. [PMID: 36519030 PMCID: PMC9742614 DOI: 10.21037/tlcr-22-667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunotherapy has provided a novel therapeutic option for lung cancer but studies involving patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) coupled with various degrees of comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are limited. Thus, we performed a retrospective cohort study to optimize the use of immunotherapy in this special population. METHODS We enrolled a total of 99 patients with advanced (stage IIIB/C-IV) NSCLC with comorbid COPD who had received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were divided into four groups according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guideline criteria as follows: no COPD group (n1=19), mild COPD group (n2=24), moderate COPD group (n3=31), and severe COPD group (n4=25). Routine blood, imaging characteristics, related cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, etc., Krebs Von den Lungen (KL)-6, and corresponding indicators of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), incidence of irAEs, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and progression-free survival (PFS) were recorded and analyzed. Comparability of baseline factors above and clinical characteristics were evaluated. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of irAEs among the four groups (P=0.003). The incidence of irAEs in patients with no COPD (n1, 21.1%) and mild to moderate COPD (n2/3, 8.3%, 32.3%) was lower than that in patients with severe COPD (n4, 56.0%) (P=0.003). The median PFS of the mild to moderate COPD group was significantly longer than the severe COPD group (19.0 vs. 8.00 months, log-rank P=0.004). A significant increase of both ORR (P=0.004) and DCR (P=0.037), as well as higher IL-6 (P=0.000), IL-8 (P=0.026), and IL-10 (P=0.010) levels, have been observed in the mild to moderate COPD group compared with severe COPD group. IL-6 level was an independent factor influencing PFS [P=0.007, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.000-1.002] and COPD grading was an independent predictor of irAEs (P=0.037, 95% CI: 1.035-3.039). CONCLUSIONS Immunotherapy should be selected with caution for advanced NSCLC patients with comorbid severe COPD, considering the limited efficacy and the increased risk of immune-related adverse events related to the immune-checkpoint inhibitors administration in this special population.

Abstract
Bufei decoction (BFD) has been applied to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for centuries as a recognized traditional Chinese herbal formula. However, mechanisms of BFD on COPD are unclear. This study conducts an inquiry into the underlying mechanisms of the therapeutic effect of BFD on COPD. A COPD rat model with qi deficiency in lungs was established through induction using cigarette and sawdust smoking combined with intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide following BFD treatment for 28 days. Changes in Th17/Treg cells of COPD rats with the syndrome of lung qi deficiency after BFD administration were verified using pulmonary function, ELISA, flow cytometry, histopathology, and Western blotting assays. The findings showed that BFD protected COPD rats from decreased lung function and lung injury. BFD administration reduced proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-17 secretion, promoted inhibitory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β secretion, decreased Th17/Treg cell ratio, markedly downregulated the Th17 cell transcription factor ROR-γt expression, and upregulated transcription factor Foxp3 expression in Treg cells. We speculate that lung tonic soup improved pulmonary qi deficiency in rats with COPD by regulating the balance of Th17/Treg cells.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are common global causes of morbidity and mortality. Because both diseases share several predisposing risks, the 2 diseases may occur concurrently in susceptible individuals. The diagnosis of COPD has important implications for the diagnostic approach and treatment options if lesions concerning for lung cancer are identified during screening. Importantly, the presence of COPD has significant implications on prognosis and management of patients with lung cancer. In this monograph, we review the mechanistic linkage between lung cancer and COPD, the impact of lung cancer screening on patients at risk, and the implications of the presence of COPD on the approach to the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. This manuscript succinctly reviews the epidemiology and common pathogenetic factors for the concurrence of COPD and lung cancer. Importantly for the clinician, it summarizes the indications, benefits, and complications of lung cancer screening in patients with COPD, and the assessment of risk factors for patients with COPD undergoing consideration of various treatment options for lung cancer.

Gene expression profile of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in tumors of patients with nsclc: the influence of COPD. ERJ Open Res 2022; 8:00105-2022. [PMID: 35854873 PMCID: PMC9289374 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00105-2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in the pathophysiology of lung cancer (LC) and COPD, and the latter is an important risk factor for LC. We hypothesised that the EMT gene expression profile and signalling cascade may differ in LC patients with COPD from those with no respiratory diseases. In lung tumour specimens obtained through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery from LC (n=20, control group) and LC-COPD patients (n=30), gene expression (quantitative real-time PCR amplification) of EMT markers SMAD3, SMAD4, ZEB2, TWIST1, SNAI1, ICAM1, VIM, CDH2, MMP1 and MMP9 was detected. In lung tumours of LC-COPD compared to LC patients, gene expression of SMAD3, SMAD4, ZEB2 and CDH2 significantly declined, while no significant differences were detected for the other analysed markers. A significant correlation was found between pack-years (smoking burden) and SMAD3 gene expression among LC-COPD patients. LC-COPD patients exhibited mild-to-moderate airway obstruction and a significant reduction in diffusion capacity compared to LC patients. In lung tumour samples of patients with COPD, several markers of EMT expression, namely SMAD3, SMAD4, ZEB2 and CDH2, were differentially expressed suggesting that these markers are likely to play a role in the regulation of EMT in patients with this respiratory disease. Cigarette smoke did not seem to influence the expression of EMT markers in this study. These results have potential clinical implications in the management of patients with LC, particularly in those with underlying respiratory diseases. The downregulation of the epithelial–mesenchymal transition repressor SMAD pathway may favour a pro-tumoural micro-environment in patients with chronic airway diseases, namely COPD, which could be targeted therapeuticallyhttps://bit.ly/39oXnoG

Abstract
The role of regulatory T cells (Tregs), damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in the mechanism of innate and adaptive immune responses in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not well understood.Evaluating the presence of Tregs in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and peripheral blood in patients with COPD, and assessment of the relationship between Tregs, MDSCs, and DAMPs as factors activating innate and adaptive immune responses. Description of the association between immune and clinical parameters in COPD.Thirty-one patients with COPD were enrolled. Clinical parameters (forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1], forced vital capacity, total lung capacity [TLC], diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide, and B-BMI, O-obstruction, D-dyspnea, E-exercise [BODE]) were assessed. Tregs and MDSCs were investigated in the BALF and blood using monoclonal antibodies directly conjugated with fluorochromes in flow cytometry. The levels of defensin (DEF2), galectin-1 (Gal-1), galectin-3 (Gal-3), galectin-9 (Gal-9), heat shock protein-27 (HSP27), and surfactant protein A were assessed via sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The percentage of Tregs was significantly higher in the blood than in the BALF, in contrast to the mean fluorescence intensity of forkhead box P3 (FoxP3). Significant associations were observed between Tregs and HSP27 (r = 0.39), Gal-1 (r = 0.55), Gal-9 (r = -0.46), and MDSCs (r = -0.50), and between FoxP3 and Gal-1 (r = -0.42), Gal-3 (r = -0.39), and MDSCs (r = -0.43). Tregs and clinical parameters, including FEV1%pred (r = 0.39), residual volume (RV)%pred (r = -0.56), TLC%pred (r = -0.55), RV/TLC (r = -0.50), arterial oxygen saturation (r = -0.38), and arterial oxygen pressure (r = -0.39) were significantly correlated. FoxP3 was significantly interlinked with RV/TLC (r = -0.52), arterial oxygen pressure (r = 0.42), and BODE index (r = -0.57).The interaction between innate and adaptive immune responses in patients with COPD was confirmed. The expression of Tregs in BALF may have prognostic value in patients with COPD. The conversion of immune responses to clinical parameters appears to be associated with disease severity.

Abstract
:
The heterogeneous and complex nature of cancer is extensively revealed at molecular,
genetic, and tissue microenvironment levels. Currently, co-occurrence of coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) to lung cancer patients and severity of infections by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been understood at preclinical and clinical levels. However,
molecular and cellular insights are not discussed in those papers that support the increased
COVID-19 severity and comorbidities in several cancer types, including lung cancer patients.
Therefore, this perspective highlights the basis of high severity and comorbidities among lung cancer
patients infected by COVID-19 with an emphasis on translational aspects.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) risk increases in patients with chronic respiratory diseases (COPD). MicroRNAs and redox imbalance are involved in lung tumorigenesis in COPD patients. Whether systemic alterations of those events may also take place in LC patients remains unknown. Our objectives were to assess the plasma levels of microRNAs, redox balance, and cytokines in LC patients with/without COPD. MicroRNAs (RT-PCR) involved in LC, oxidized DNA, MDA-protein adducts, GSH, TEAC, VEGF, and TGF-beta (ELISA) were quantified in plasma samples from non-LC controls (n = 45), LC-only patients (n = 32), and LC-COPD patients (n = 91). In LC-COPD patients compared to controls and LC-only, MDA-protein adduct levels increased, while those of GSH decreased, and two patterns of plasma microRNA were detected. In both LC patient groups, miR-451 expression was downregulated, while those of microRNA-let7c were upregulated, and levels of TEAC and TGF-beta increased compared to the controls. Correlations were found between clinical and biological variables. A differential expression profile of microRNAs was detected in patients with LC. Moreover, in LC patients with COPD, plasma oxidative stress levels increased, whereas those of GSH declined. Systemic oxidative and antioxidant markers are differentially expressed in LC patients with respiratory diseases, thus implying its contribution to the pathogenesis of tumorigenesis in these patients.

Abstract
(1) Background: Lung cancer (LC) is a major leading cause of death worldwide. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 and PARP-2 are key players in cancer. We aimed to assess PARP-1 and PARP-2 expression and activity and DNA damage in tumors and non-tumor lungs from patients with/without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (2) Methods: Lung tumor and non-tumor specimens were obtained through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in LC patients with/without underlying COPD (two groups of patients, n = 15/group). PARP-1 and PARP-2 expression (ELISA), PARP activity (PARP colorimetric assay kit) and DNA damage (immunohistochemistry) levels were identified in all samples. (3) Results: Both PARP-1 and PARP-2 expression levels were significantly lower in lung tumors (irrespective of COPD)compared to non-tumor specimens, while DNA damage and PARP activity levels significantly increased in lung tumors compared to non-tumor specimens only in LC-COPD patients. PARP-2 expression was positively correlated with smoking burden in LC-COPD patients. (4) Conclusions: In lung tumors of COPD patients, an overactivation of PARP enzyme was observed. A decline in PARP-1 and PARP-2 protein expression was seen in lung tumors irrespective of COPD. Other phenotypic features (airway obstruction) beyond cancer may account for the increase in PARP activity seen in the tumors of patients with underlying COPD.

Abstract
Simple Summary Nowadays, humans still die of lung cancer (LC), a disease mainly related to cigarette smoking (CS). Smokers also develop chronic bronchitis, namely chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Environmental factors and a natural predisposition from the patients’ sides may render them more prone to develop tumors derived from CS. Thus, a great number of patients may suffer from chronic bronchitis and LC simultaneously. Chronic respiratory diseases are also important risks factors for LC. The immune system, among other biological mechanisms, protect our cells from infections and cancer development. Several immune structures and cells may be altered in the tumors of patients with COPD as opposed to lung tumors of patients with no underlying respiratory disease. A total of 133 patients with LC participated in the study: 93 with underlying COPD. Several structures (tertiary lymphoid structures, TLS) and T and B lymphocytes were analyzed in the lung tumor and non-tumor areas (specimens obtained during surgical extirpation of the tumors). We found that in LC patients with COPD, compared to those without it, fewer numbers of TLSs and B cells were detected, and those patients died significantly earlier. These results have implications in the diagnosis and treatment options of lung tumors in patients with underlying respiratory diseases. Abstract Immune profile of B and T cells and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) may differ in tumors of lung cancer (LC) patients with/without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and may also influence patient survival. We sought to analyze: (1) TLSs, germinal centers (GCs), B and T cells, and (2) associations of the immune biomarkers with the patients’ 10-year overall survival (OS). TLSs (numbers and area), B [cluster of differentiation (CD) 20], and T (CD3), and GCs cells were identified in both tumor and non-tumor specimens (thoracotomy) from 90 LC-COPD patients and 43 LC-only patients. Ten-year OS was analyzed in the patients. Immune profile in tumors of LC-COPD versus LC: TLS numbers and areas significantly decreased in tumors of LC-COPD compared to LC patients. No significant differences were observed in tumors between LC-COPD and LC patients for B or T cells. Immune profile in tumors versus non-tumor specimens: TLS areas and B cells significantly increased, T cells significantly decreased in tumors of both LC and LC-COPD patients. Survival: in LC-COPD patients: greater area of TLSs and proportion of B cells were associated with longer survival rates. The immune tumor microenvironment differs in patients with underlying COPD and these different phenotypes may eventually impact the response to immunotherapy in patients with LC.
