Lung function is related to salivary cytokines and hormones in healthy children. An exploratory cross‐sectional study

Abstract Pulmonary mechanics has been traditionally viewed as determined by lung size and physical factors such as frictional forces and tissue viscoelastic properties, but few information exists regarding potential influences of cytokines and hormones on lung function. Concentrations of 28 cytokine...

description Abstract Pulmonary mechanics has been traditionally viewed as determined by lung size and physical factors such as frictional forces and tissue viscoelastic properties, but few information exists regarding potential influences of cytokines and hormones on lung function. Concentrations of 28 cytokines and hormones were measured in saliva from clinically healthy scholar children, purposely selected to include a wide range of body mass index (BMI). Lung function was assessed by impulse oscillometry, spirometry, and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, and expressed as z‐score or percent predicted. Ninety‐six scholar children (55.2% female) were enrolled. Bivariate analysis showed that almost all lung function variables correlated with one or more cytokine or hormone, mainly in boys, but only some of them remained statistically significant in the multiple regression analyses. Thus, after adjusting by height, age, and BMI, salivary concentrations of granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) in boys were associated with zR5‐R20 and reactance parameters (zX20, zFres, and zAX), while glucagon inversely correlated with resistances (zR5 and zR20). Thus, in physiological conditions, part of the mechanics of breathing might be influenced by some cytokines and hormones, including glucagon and GM‐CSF. This endogenous influence is a novel concept that warrants in‐depth characterization.
