The study demonstrated that serum levels of S100A8 and S100A9 were significantly higher in patients with AE-IPF compared to healthy controls and patients at IPF diagnosis. Elevated levels of S100A8 and S100A9 during hospitalization were associated with worse prognosis in patients with AE-IPF.
Background: Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is a devastating and life-threatening condition during its clinical course. Biomarkers for precisely anticipating the prognosis of AE-IPF remain to be fully established. The objective of this study was to clarify whether S100A8 and S100A9, which are calcium-binding proteins mainly produced by activated neutrophils, are significant prognostic biomarkers in AE-IPF. Methods: Thirty-seven patients with AE-IPF who were diagnosed and treated at our hospital were retrospectively evaluated. The serum levels of S100A8 and S100A9 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the relationships between these levels and clinical parameters or prognosis were evaluated. Results: The serum levels of S100A8 (median 386.5 ng/mL) and S100A9 (median 60.2 ng/mL) in patients with AE-IPF were significantly higher than those in age-matched healthy controls and in patients at IPF diagnosis (p < 0.001 for all combinations). The serum levels of S100A8 negatively correlated with percent forced vital capacity (r = -0.356, p = 0.049) and positively correlated with peripheral white blood cell number (r = 0.509, p = 0.002). Immunohistochemical staining of autopsy lung specimens showed that neutrophils, present mainly in the alveolar septum, were positive for S100A8 and S100A9. Patients with AE-IPF with higher levels of S100A8 or S100A9 showed significantly worse 3-month survival than those with lower levels (log-rank test, both p = 0.028). Finally, in multivariate analysis, the serum levels of both S100A8 and S100A9 were significant prognostic factors (hazard ratio 4.032, p = 0.023 and hazard ratio 4.327, p = 0.012). Conclusion: The serum levels of S100A8 and S100A9 at AE were significant prognostic biomarkers in patients with AE-IPF. (C) 2021 The Japanese Respiratory Society. Published by Elsevier B.V.
