BIOMARKERS in OBSTRUCTIVE DISEASE Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gamze KIRKIL FiratUniversity, Department of ChestDisease
Presentation Plan Bronchialbiopsy BAL Sputum Exhaledbreathcondensate Serum • Definition • Biomarkers in COPD • Biomarkers in Asthma • Biomarkers in CysticFibrosis • Conclusion Bronchialbiopsy BAL Sputum Exhaledbreathcondensate Serum
Definition • Biomarker is a physicalsignorlaboratorymeasurementthat is evaluated as an indicator of normal biologicalprocesses, pathogenicprocesses, orpharmacologicresponsestotherapeuticinterventions It is helpful in evaluatingthe; • Activity of thedisease • Responsetothetherapyand • Prognosis
An ideal biomarkermust be; • Minimallyinvasive, easilymeasurableandreproducible • Used in confirmingthediagnosisordefining a specialclinicfenotype • Itmustshowdose-responserelation, must be a guidefordeterminingthetherapyneeds • Used in predictingtheadverseevents, andclinicaloutcomesthatwillappear in thefuture
Whyarebiomarkersnecessaryforrespiratorydisease? • Tissuebiopsy is rarelyused in definingbenignpathologies • Scanningmethodsandphysiologicalmeasurementshavelimitations • Thestructureandfunctions in diseaselikeasthmaand COPD changeintermittentorprogressively • Becausesymptomsarenonspesificandmultifactorial in patientswithcomorbidities, biomarkersareneeded
Biomarkers in determiningthe COPD occurrence risk • Low FEV1 measured at meanage 25-yearsoldwaspredictive of the presence of airflowobstructionmeasured 20 yearslaterindependent of cigarettesmoking Kalhan R, et al. Am J Med 2010; 123: 468-e1-7 • Higher CRP levelswereassociatedwithlowerlungfunction in ages 26-32 unrelatedtosmoking, obesity, andasthma Hancox RJ, et al. Thorax 2007; 62: 1064-8
Subjects 55 years of ageandolder, CRP wasassociatedwithincreased risk of COPD Van Durme YMTA, et al. Am J respirCritCareMed 2009; 179: 375-82 • High CRP andfibrinogen in youngadulthoodwerebothassociatedwithaccelerateddecline in the FVC and FEV1 overthesubsequent 13-15 years Kalhan R, et al. Plos ONE 2010; 5:e11431
Biomarkers in theActivity, Prognosis, andTherapyResponse in COPD PulmonaryBiomarkers NonpulmonaryBiomarkers • Bronchialbiopsy • BAL • Sputum • Exhaledbreathcondensate • Serum • Urine
BronchialBiopsy Is usefulfordeterminingthe; • Structuralchanges • Cellularpatterns • Expression of inflammatoryproteins
Advantage of bronchialbiopsies; • They can provide an assesment of structuralcomponents of theairwaywall • Biomarkers of structuraldamage can be measured • Thedifferentinflammatorycellsubtypes can be identified in theirmicroenvironment, thusallowinginvestigation of interactionbetweeninflammatoryandresidentcells
Limitations of bronchialbiopsies; • Itmay be difficulttoperform in studieswhichrequirerepeatedbiopsies • Itmay be difficulttoperform in patientswithcardiaccomorbidity, significanthypercapnia, anddesaturation • Thebiopsy of proximalairwaysmay not closelyreflectallthepathologicchangespresent in peripheralairwaysandlungparenchyma • There is a relativellyhighvariability in baselinemeasurements of inflammatorycells, whichnecessitatesmultiplebiopsies
