Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Stephanie A. Christenson et al.

Summary: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem that leads to high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare utilization. Its main causes are exposure to harmful particles, such as tobacco smoke and pollutants. Recent research has shown that various factors throughout the life course increase the risk of developing COPD. Innovations in omics and imaging techniques have provided greater understanding of the disease's pathophysiology, potentially leading to advancements in its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This review focuses on recent advances in the epidemiology, pathophysiology, imaging, diagnosis, and treatment of COPD.

Chr15q25 genetic variant (rs16969968) independently confers risk of lung cancer, COPD and smoking intensity in a prospective study of high-risk smokers

Raewyn J. Hopkins et al.

Summary: In this large-prospective study, the CHRNA5 rs16969968 AA genotype was found to be independently associated with smoking exposure, COPD, and lung cancer (triple whammy effect).

Extended-culture and culture-independent molecular analysis of the airway microbiota in cystic fibrosis following CFTR modulation with ivacaftor

Gisli G. Einarsson et al.

Summary: Treatment with ivacaftor in people with cystic fibrosis can significantly improve lung function and clinical parameters, and have some impact on the microbiota composition. Improvement in lung function, microbial richness, and diversity post-treatment showed an inverse correlation with inflammation levels.

An innate contribution of human nicotinic receptor polymorphisms to COPD-like lesions

Julie Routhier et al.

Summary: A human coding polymorphism in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene has been found to directly contribute to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-like lesions, independent of smoking or nicotine exposure. Experimental studies suggest that this polymorphism can exacerbate lung inflammation and injury from oxidative stress, providing a new therapeutic target for COPD treatment.

Mucus Plugs and Emphysema in the Pathophysiology of Airflow Obstruction and Hypoxemia in Smokers

Eleanor M. Dunican et al.

Summary: This study found that mucus plugs and emphysema play different roles in airflow limitation and hypoxemia in smokers with COPD. Mucus plug scores have an independent impact on lung function outcomes, especially in smokers with limited emphysema.

Extended Bacteria Culture-Based Clustering Identifies a Phenotype Associating Increased Cough and Enterobacterales in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Anaelle Muggeo et al.

Summary: This study found that altered microbiota with Enterobacterales in sputum is associated with pejorative clinical symptoms in stable COPD patients. The research also suggests that further understanding of these findings could lead to changes in the processing of COPD sputum in clinical microbiology laboratories.

Airway mucin MUC5AC and MUC5B concentrations and the initiation and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an analysis of the SPIROMICS cohort

Giorgia Radicioni et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relative contribution of MUC5AC and MUC5B to airways disease in COPD, revealing increased MUC5AC concentration as a potential biomarker for COPD initiation, progression, and exacerbation risk. MUC5AC concentration showed greater sensitivity to COPD severity and could be a target for future therapeutic strategies.

Necroptosis Signaling Promotes Inflammation, Airway Remodeling, and Emphysema in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Zhe Lu et al.

Summary: This study found that necroptosis is increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and in experimental COPD, and inhibiting necroptosis can alleviate smoking-induced airway inflammation, airway remodeling, and emphysema. Deletion of Ripk3 or Mlkl and treatment with qVD-OPh can reduce lung cell death induced by chronic smoking exposure.

CiliOPD: a ciliopathy-associated COPD endotype

Jeanne-Marie Perotin et al.

Summary: The study revealed that COPD patients exhibit abnormal expression of genes related to cilia and ciliopathy, with some genes such as NEK6 and PROM2 potentially contributing to the pathology of COPD. It also suggests the existence of a subtype of COPD, named CiliOPD, which shows characteristics of ciliopathy.
