MCP-4 and Eotaxin-3 Are Novel Biomarkers for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The aim of our study was to examine the production of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-4) and eotaxin-3 during the onset and progression of COPD. The expression levels of MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 were evaluated in COPD samples and healthy controls using immunostaining and ELISA. The relationship bet...

description The aim of our study was to examine the production of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-4) and eotaxin-3 during the onset and progression of COPD. The expression levels of MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 were evaluated in COPD samples and healthy controls using immunostaining and ELISA. The relationship between the clinic pathological features in the participants and the expression of MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 were evaluated. The association of MCP-4/eotaxin-3 production in COPD patients was also determined. The results revealed enhanced production of MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 in COPD patients especially the cases with AECOPD in both bronchial biopsies and bronchial washing fluid samples. Furthermore, the expression signatures of MCP-4/eotaxin-3 show high AUC values in distinguishing COPD patients and healthy volunteers and AECOPD and stable COPD cases, respectively. Additionally, the number of MCP-4/eotaxin-3 positive cases was notably increased in AECOPD patients compared to those with stable COPD. Moreover, the expression of MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 was positively correlated in COPD and AECOPD cases. In addition, the levels of MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 could be increased in HBEs stimulated with LPS, which is a risk factor of COPD. Moreover, MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 may exert their regulatory functions in COPD by regulating CCR2, 3, and 5. These data indicated that MCP-4 and eotaxin-3 were potential markers for the clinical course of COPD, which could provide guidance for accurate diagnosis and treatment for this disease in future clinical practice.
