Unique and shared systemic biomarkers for emphysema in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Summary: Background: Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD), the most common genetic cause of emphysema presents with unexplained phenotypic heterogeneity in affected subjects. Our objectives to identify unique and shared AATD plasma biomarkers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)...

description Summary: Background: Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD), the most common genetic cause of emphysema presents with unexplained phenotypic heterogeneity in affected subjects. Our objectives to identify unique and shared AATD plasma biomarkers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may explain AATD phenotypic heterogeneity. Methods: The plasma or serum of 5,924 subjects from four AATD and COPD cohorts were analyzed on SomaScan V4.0 platform. Using multivariable linear regression, inverse variance random-effects meta-analysis, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression we tested the association between 4,720 individual proteins or combined in a protein score with emphysema measured by 15th percentile lung density (PD15) or diffusion capacity (DLCO) in distinct AATD genotypes (Pi*ZZ, Pi*SZ, Pi*MZ) and non-AATD, PiMM COPD subjects. AAT SOMAmer accuracy for identifying AATD was tested using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Findings: In PiZZ AATD subjects, 2 unique proteins were associated with PD15 and 98 proteins with DLCO. Of those, 68 were also associated with DLCO in COPD also and enriched for three cellular component pathways: insulin-like growth factor, lipid droplet, and myosin complex. PiMZ AATD subjects shared similar proteins associated with DLCO as COPD subjects. Our emphysema protein score included 262 SOMAmers and predicted emphysema in AATD and COPD subjects. SOMAmer AAT level <7.99 relative fluorescence unit (RFU) had 100% sensitivity and specificity for identifying Pi*ZZ, but it was lower for other AATD genotypes. Interpretation: Using SomaScan, we identified unique and shared plasma biomarkers between AATD and COPD subjects and generated a protein score that strongly associates with emphysema in COPD and AATD. Furthermore, we discovered unique biomarkers associated with DLCO and emphysema in PiZZ AATD. Funding: This work was supported by a grant from the Alpha-1 Foundation to RPB.
