Review: Surfactant protein D: A lung specific biomarker in COPD?

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2008
A major impediment in the development of novel drugs for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been the scarcity of a well-validated, robust, and easily obtainable intermediate end point such as serum biomarkers.

Proteomic and glycomic analyses of a lung-specific protein surfactant protein-D

Data in Brief, 2015
In order to verify the protein enriched from pooled human sera to be a lung-specific protein surfactant protein-D (SP-D), we performed peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF)-based protein identification. MASCOT search results of the obtained PMF unequivocally

Surfactant protein D, a clinical biomarker for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with excellent discriminant values

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2016
Biological markers can help to better identify a disease or refine its diagnosis. In the present study, the association between surfactant protein D (SP-D) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was studied among subjects consulting for ...

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Respiratory infections: Role of Vitamin D and surfactant proteins A and D

Lung India, 2020
Respiratory tract infection is the common viral infection and the principal cause of death among children under 5 years of age. It damages lung epithelium and increases mucus production and inflammation, leading to dyspnea. The sunshine vitamin (Vitamin D) and surfactant protein (SP) A and D along with their usual function play an important role in ...

Surfactant Protein D in Newborn Infants: Factors Influencing Surfactant Protein D Levels in Umbilical Cord Blood and Capillary Blood [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 2005
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a collectin that plays an important role in the innate immune system. The role of SP-D in the metabolism of surfactant is as yet quite unclear. The aims of this study were to establish normal values of SP-D in the umbilical cord blood and capillary blood of mature newborn infants and to assess the influence of perinatal ...

OSCAR is a receptor for Surfactant Protein D that activates TNF-α release from human CCR2+ inflammatory monocytes

Journal of Immunology, 2015
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is critical for maintenance of lung homeostasis and provides a first line of defense to pathogens at mucosal surfaces. Polymorphisms in the SP-D–encoding gene SFTPD have been associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Characterization of Clinical Phenotype to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Concentrations in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.

Plasma EV Proteomics Identifies ECM Remodeling and Inflammatory Proteins LUM and C7 as Candidate Biomarkers in FSHD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most debilitating and common muscular dystrophies. Despite its severity, no approved therapy exists for FSHD patients. However, several therapeutic candidates are currently under development, and some have recently entered clinical trials, marking the need for reliable ...
