Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a debilitating disease characterized by thrombotic occlusion of pulmonary arteries and vasculopathy, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and progressive right-sided heart failure. Thrombotic lesions in CTEPH contain CD68+ macrophages, and increasing evidence supports their role in disease pathogenesis. Macrophages are classically divided into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages, which are involved in wound healing and tissue repair. Currently, the phenotype of macrophages and their localization within thrombotic lesions of CTEPH are largely unknown. In our study, we subclassified thrombotic lesions of CTEPH patients into developing fresh thrombi (FT) and organized thrombi (OT), based on the degree of fibrosis and remodeling. We used multiplex immunofluorescence histology to identify immune cell infiltrates in thrombotic lesions of CPTEH patients. Utilizing software-assisted cell detection and quantification, increased proportions of macrophages were observed in immune cell infiltrates of OT lesions, compared with FT. Strikingly, the proportions with a CD206+INOS- M2 phenotype were significantly higher in OT than in FT, which mainly contained unpolarized macrophages. Taken together, we observed a shift from unpolarized macrophages in FT toward an expanded population of M2 macrophages in OT, indicating a dynamic role of macrophages during CTEPH pathogenesis.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by dyspnea caused by airflow limitation. Further development may lead to decreased lung function and other lung diseases. Pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that involves multiple pathways. For example, the pathway induced by the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is closely associated with COPD exacerbation. Therefore, in this study, various machine learning algorithms were applied to screen for diagnostically relevant pyroptosis-related genes from the GEO dataset, and the results were verified using external datasets. The results showed that deep neural networks and logistic regression algorithms had the highest AUC of 0.91 and 0.74 in the internal and external test sets, respectively. Here, we explored the immune landscape of COPD using diagnosis-related genes. We found that the infiltrating abundance of dendritic cells significantly differed between the COPD and control groups. Finally, the communication patterns of each cell type were explored based on scRNA-seq data. The critical role of significant pathways involved in communication between DCS and other cell populations in the occurrence and progression of COPD was identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophages and monocytes orchestrate inflammatory processes in the lungs. However, their role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an inflammatory condition, is not well known. Here, we determined the characteristics of these cells in lungs of COPD patients and identified novel therapeutic targets. METHODS We analyzed the RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of explanted human lung tissue from COPD (n = 18) and control (n = 28) lungs and found 16 transcriptionally distinct groups of macrophages and monocytes. We performed pathway and gene enrichment analyses to determine the characteristics of macrophages and monocytes from COPD (versus control) lungs and to identify the therapeutic targets, which were then validated using data from a randomized controlled trial of COPD patients (DISARM). RESULTS In the alveolar macrophages, 176 genes were differentially expressed (83 up- and 93 downregulated; Padj < 0.05, |log2FC| > 0.5) and were enriched in downstream biological processes predicted to cause poor lipid uptake and impaired cell activation, movement, and angiogenesis in COPD versus control lungs. Classical monocytes from COPD lungs harbored a differential gene set predicted to cause the activation, mobilization, and recruitment of cells and a hyperinflammatory response to influenza. In silico, the corticosteroid fluticasone propionate was one of the top compounds predicted to modulate the abnormal transcriptional profiles of these cells. In vivo, a fluticasone-salmeterol combination significantly modulated the gene expression profiles of bronchoalveolar lavage cells of COPD patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS COPD lungs harbor transcriptionally distinct lung macrophages and monocytes, reflective of a dysfunctional and hyperinflammatory state. Inhaled corticosteroids and other compounds can modulate the transcriptomic profile of these cells in patients with COPD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thioredoxin (Trx) is a secretory protein that acts as an antioxidant, redox regulator, anti-allergic, and anti-inflammatory molecule. It has been used to treat dermatitis and inflammation of the digestive tract. In the lungs, Trx has a significant anti-inflammatory impact. On the other hand, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the significant causes of death in the developed world, with a tremendous individual and socioeconomic impact. Despite new initiatives and endless treatment trials, COPD incidence and death will likely escalate in the coming decades. AREAS COVERED COPD is a chronic inflammatory disease impacting the airways, lung parenchyma, and pulmonary vasculature. Oxidative stress and protease-antiprotease imbalances are thought to be involved in the process. The most popular respiratory inflammatory and allergic disorders therapies are corticosteroids and β-receptor agonists. These medications are helpful but have some drawbacks, such as infection and immunosuppression; thus, addressing Trx signalling treatments may be a viable COPD treatment approach. This review shall cover the pathophysiology of COPD, the pharmacognosy of anti-COPD drugs, including the assets and liabilities of each, and the role and mechanism of Trx in COPD treatment. EXPERT OPINION Limited research has targeted the thioredoxin system as an anti-COPD drug. Spectating the increase in the mortality rates of COPD, this review article would be an interesting one to research.

Abstract
CCL13/MCP-4 belongs to the CC chemokine family, which induces chemotaxis in many immune cells. Despite extensive research into its function in numerous disorders, a thorough analysis of CCL13 is not yet accessible. The role of CCL13 in human disorders and existing CCL13-focused therapies are outlined in this study. The function of CCL13 in rheumatic diseases, skin conditions, and cancer is comparatively well-established, and some studies also suggest that it may be involved in ocular disorders, orthopedic conditions, nasal polyps, and obesity. We also give an overview of research that found very little evidence of CCL13 in HIV, nephritis, and multiple sclerosis. Even though CCL13-mediated inflammation is frequently linked to disease pathogenesis, it's fascinating to note that in some conditions, like primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and suicide, it might even act as a preventative measure.

Abstract
Purpose This study sought to characterize transcriptional phenotypes of COPD through unsupervised clustering of sputum gene expression profiles, and further investigate mechanisms underlying the characteristics of these clusters. Patients and methods Induced sputum samples were collected from patients with stable COPD (n = 72) and healthy controls (n = 15). Induced sputum was collected for inflammatory cell counts, and RNA extracted. Transcriptional profiles were generated (Illumina Humanref-8 V2) and analyzed by GeneSpring GX14.9.1. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering and differential gene expression analysis were performed, and gene alterations validated in the ECLIPSE dataset (GSE22148). Results We identified 2 main clusters (Cluster 1 [n = 35] and Cluster 2 [n = 37]), which further divided into 4 sub-clusters (Sub-clusters 1.1 [n = 14], 1.2 [n = 21], 2.1 [n = 20] and 2.2 [n = 17]). Compared with Cluster 1, Cluster 2 was associated with significantly lower lung function (p = 0.014), more severe disease (p = 0.009) and breathlessness (p = 0.035), and increased sputum neutrophils (p = 0.031). Sub-cluster 1.1 had significantly higher proportion of people with comorbid cardiovascular disease compared to the other 3 sub-clusters (92.5% vs 57.1%, 50% and 52.9%, p < 0.013). Through supervised analysis we determined that degree of airflow limitation (GOLD stage) was the predominant factor driving gene expression differences in our transcriptional clusters. There were 452 genes (adjusted p < 0.05 and ≥2 fold) altered in GOLD stage 3 and 4 versus 1 and 2, of which 281 (62%) were also found to be significantly expressed between these GOLD stages in the ECLIPSE data set (GSE22148). Differentially expressed genes were largely downregulated in GOLD stages 3 and 4 and connected in 5 networks relating to lipoprotein and cholesterol metabolism; metabolic processes in oxidation/reduction and mitochondrial function; antigen processing and presentation; regulation of complement activation and innate immune responses; and immune and metabolic processes. Conclusion Severity of lung function drives 2 distinct transcriptional phenotypes of COPD and relates to immune and metabolic processes.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease commonly induced by cigarette smoke. The expression of miRNAs can be altered in patients with COPD and could be used as a biomarker. We aimed to identify a panel of miRNAs in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to differentiate COPD patients from smokers and non-smokers with normal lung function. Accordingly, forty-five subjects classified as COPD, smokers, and non-smokers (n = 15 per group) underwent clinical, functional characterization and bronchoscopy with BAL. The mean age of the studied population was 61.61 ± 12.95 years, BMI 25.72 ± 3.82 Kg/m2, FEV1/FVC 68.37 ± 12.00%, and FEV1 80.07 ± 23.63% predicted. According to microarray analysis, three miRNAs of the most upregulated were chosen: miR-320c, miR-200c-3p, and miR-449c-5p. These miRNAs were validated by qPCR and were shown to be differently expressed in COPD patients. ROC analysis showed that these three miRNAs together had an area under the curve of 0.89 in differentiating COPD from controls. Moreover, in silico analysis of candidate miRNAs by DIANA-miRPath showed potential involvement in the EGFR and Hippo pathways. These results suggest a specific 3-miRNA signature that could be potentially used as a biomarker to distinguish COPD patients from smokers and non-smoker subjects.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory responses in the lung of patients with stable mild-to severe forms of COPD play a central role in the definition, comprehension and monitoring of the disease state. A better understanding of the COPD pathogenesis can't avoid a detailed knowledge of these inflammatory changes altering the functional health of the lung during the disease progression. We here summarize and discuss the role and principal functions of the inflammatory cells populating the large, small airways and lung parenchyma of patients with COPD of increasing severity in comparison with healthy control subjects: T and B lymphocytes, NK and Innate Lymphoid cells, macrophages, and neutrophils. The differential inflammatory distribution in large and small airways of patients is also discussed. Furthermore, relevant cellular mechanisms controlling the homeostasis and the "normal" balance of these inflammatory cells and of structural cells in the lung, such as autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis are as well presented and discussed in the context of the COPD severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with HIV (PWH) have an increased risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). METHODS We phenotyped lung macrophages in four subgroups: M1 (CD40+CD163-), M2 (CD40-CD163+), Double Positives (CD40+CD163+), Double Negatives (CD40-CD163-) and determined their phagocytic capacity in PWH with and without COPD. RESULTS PWH with COPD have more double negative macrophages (84.1%) vs PWH without (54.3%) vs controls (23.9%) (p=0.004) and reduced phagocytosis (p=0.012). Double negative macrophages had the worst phagocytic capacity (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS PWH with COPD have an abundance of non-polarized macrophages which have poor phagocytic capacity therefore predispose them to increased risk of disease progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rosiglitazone, an exogenous ligand of PPARγ, plays an important anti-inflammatory role during the inflammation caused by cigarette smoke (CS). CS exposure induces pulmonary inflammation via activating macrophage polarization. However, the effects of rosiglitazone on macrophage polarization induced by CS are unclear. METHODS 36 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control, CS and ROSI. In the CS group, rats were passively exposed to cigarette smoke for consecutive 3 months. In the ROSI group, rats were treated with rosiglitazone (3 mg/kg/day, ip) during CS exposure period. Alveolar macrophages of rats were isolated and cultured with CSE. The slices of lung tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The histomorphology was observed to evaluate emphysema and the pulmonary function was detected. Cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were examined and the expression of cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β was detected by ELISA and qPCR. The alveolar macrophage polarization was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry assay in vivo and by qPCR in vitro. The protein level of PPARγ and RXRα was measured by Western blot. RESULTS CS exposure induced significant emphysema, diminished FEV0.2/FVC, elevated PEF, and higher level of total cells, neutrophils and cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) in BALF compared with control group, whereas rosiglitazone partly ameliorated above disorders. CS exposure activated M1 and M2 macrophage polarization in vivo and in vitro, whereas rosiglitazone inhibited CS induced M1 macrophage polarization and decreased the ratio of M1/M2. The effects of rosiglitazone on macrophage polarization were partly blocked after AMs treated with the antagonists of PPARγ and RXRα, and were synergistically enhanced by the agonist of RXRα. CS exposure decreased the expression of PPARγ and RXRα in lung tissues and AMs, and rosiglitazone partly reversed CS-mediated suppression of PPARγ and RXRα. CONCLUSION Rosiglitazone ameliorated the emphysema and inflammation in lung tissues induced by CS exposure via inhibiting the M1 macrophage polarization through activating PPARγ and RXRα.
