Astragalus Polysaccharide Alleviates COPD‐Associated Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction Through Suppression of Inflammation and Cellular Senescence

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
APS alleviates COPD‐associated skeletal muscle dysfunction in both animal and cellular models. This study provides compelling preclinical evidence supporting APS as a promising functional food ingredient for mitigating skeletal muscle wasting in COPD. ABSTRACT Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) exhibits various pharmacological properties.

Value of metalloproteinases in predicting COPD in heavy urban smokers

Respiratory Research, 2020
Background Emphysema in asymptomatic heavy smokers can be detected during CT-scan screening for lung cancer. Metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been found to play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and to possibly serve as ...

Tobacco-induced hyperglycemia promotes lung cancer progression via cancer cell-macrophage interaction through paracrine IGF2/IR/NPM1-driven PD-L1 expression

Nature Communications
Tobacco smoking (TS) is implicated in lung cancer (LC) progression through the development of metabolic syndrome. However, direct evidence linking metabolic syndrome to TS-mediated LC progression remains to be established. Our findings demonstrate that 4-

Role of Dual-Specificity Phosphatase 1 in Glucocorticoid-Driven Anti-inflammatory Responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Glucocorticoids (GCs) potently inhibit pro-inflammatory responses and are widely used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as allergies, autoimmune disorders, and asthma. Dual-specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), also known as mitogen-activated

Lung Volume Reduction Coil Treatment vs Usual Care in Patients With Severe Emphysema: The REVOLENS Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2016
IMPORTANCE Therapeutic options for severe emphysema are limited. Lung volume reduction using nitinol coils is a bronchoscopic intervention inducing regional parenchymal volume reduction and restoring lung recoil.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency [PDF]

, 2001
α-1 antitrypsin is synthesised in the liver and protects lung alveolar tissues from destruction by neutrophil elastase. α-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a common autosomal recessive condition (1:1600 to 1:1800) in which liver disease results from retention ...

PD-L1, FGFR1, PIK3CA, PTEN, and p16 expression in pulmonary emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with resected lung squamous cell carcinoma

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background Emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are well known independent risk factors for lung cancer. However, the developmental mechanisms between emphysema/COPD and lung cancer remain unknown.
