目的 探讨慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者中微量元素铜和锌与炎症介质的关系。 方法 2010年11月－2011年3月间测量15例COPD急性加重期患者入院时及治疗后和13例健康者为对照组的血清铜、锌、C反应蛋白（CRP）、白介素-6（IL-6），血浆中金属硫蛋白，以及氧化应激产物丙二醛的浓度变化。并对铜、锌浓度变化与CRP、IL-6进行相关分析。 结果 COPD组血清中铜浓度、CRP、IL-6水平高于对照组（P＜0.05），同时急性加重期患者血清中铜的浓度、CRP、IL-6水平以及丙二醛值高于缓解期患者（P＜0.05）。而急性加重期患者血清中锌浓度低于缓解期组和对照组（P＜0.05）。血浆中抗氧化物质金属硫蛋白在三组间差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。在微量元素与炎症因子的相关分析中发现，铜与CRP（r=0.602，P＜0.001）、IL-6（r=0.533，P＜0.001）呈正相关，锌与IL-6呈负相关（r=?0.336，P＜0.05）。 结论 在COPD氧化应激发病机制中，铜可能发挥促氧化应激的作用，而锌可能发挥抗氧化应激的作用。微量元素稳态的紊乱有可能是COPD急性加重的危险因素。
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and significance of cysteine-rich protein 61 (Cyr61) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsBetween September 2017 and September 2018, 27 patients with benign tumor needing to surgical therapy, were divided into COPD group (15 patients) and non-COPD group (12 patients), according to lung function. Lung tissues were selected at the distance at least 5 cm from the tumor. The levels of Cyr61, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Meanwhile, the expressions of Cyr61 in lung tissues were measured by immunohistochemistry technology between two groups. Furthermore, correlations among Cyr61, IL-8, MCP-1, smoking index, forced expiratory volume in the 1st second as percentage of predicted values (FEV1%pred), scores of COPD Assessment Test (CAT) were analyzed.ResultsSerum Cyr61, IL-8, MCP-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with COPD than in the non-COPD group (P<0.05), (2409.80±893.87)pg/mL, (76.27±10.53)pg/mL, (173.67±42.64)pg/mL vs. (1065.42±158.83)pg/mL, (57.33±8.29)pg/mL, (138.42±27.62)pg/mL, respectively. By immunohistochemistry technology, the expression levels of Cyr61 in lung epithelial cells and in lung macrophage cells of COPD patients were higher than in the non-COPD group (P<0.01). Positive correlations were found between serum IL-8, serum MCP-1, CAT scores, smoking index and serum Cyr61 (r=0.674, 0.566, 0.602, and 0.755, P=0.006, 0.028, 0.018, and 0.003, respectively) in COPD group. Furthermore, in COPD group, there were also positive correlations between serum IL-8, serum MCP-1, CAT scores, smoking index and intrapulmonary Cyr61 (r=0.542, 0.635, 0.809, and 0.580, P=0.037, 0.011, 0.001, and 0.038 respectively). Inverse correlation was found between serum Cyr61 and FEV1%pred (r=–0.772, P<0.01), and the same as between intrapulmonary Cyr61 and FEV1%pred (r=–0.683, P<0.01).ConclusionsCyr61 highly expresses in serum and in lung tissues of patients with COPD, and its expression is correlated with lung function of patients. The results indicate that Cyr61 may interact with IL-8 and MCP-1 in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
目的 研究同型半胱氨酸转硫途径、维生素B6及内源性硫化氢在慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期（AECOPD）中的作用。 方法 2010年2月－4月间筛选AECOPD患者16例和健康志愿者（对照组）13例，测定AECOPD患者加重期、缓解期及对照组的肺功能、血清硫化氢（H2S）、丙二醛（MDA）、叶酸、维生素B12、C反应蛋白、白介素6、血浆同型半胱氨酸、胱硫醚、半胱氨酸和维生素B6的浓度。计算半胱氨酸转化率（半胱氨酸浓度/胱硫醚浓度）与胱硫醚转化率（胱硫醚浓度/同型半胱氨酸浓度）参与分析。 结果 ① 加重期血清MDA水平[（7.3 ± 5.1）nmol/L ]比缓解期[（3.0 ± 1.4）nmol/L ]和对照组[（3.0 ± 2.2）nmol/L ]均升高（P＜0.01）；血清MDA水平与第1秒用力呼气容积/用力肺活量（FEV1/FVC）、第1秒用力呼气容积占预计值百分比（FEV1%预计值）呈负相关。② 加重期血清H2S水平与血浆维生素B6水平较缓解期与对照组降低（P＜0.01）；缓解期血清H2S水平[（47.2 ±5.1） μmol/L ]高于对照组[（38.8 ± 2.1） μmol/L ]，P＜0.01；血清H2S水平、血浆维生素B6水平均与FEV1%预计值呈正相关（r=0.651、0.680，P＜0.01），均与血清MDA水平呈负相关（r=-0.334、-0.448，P＜0.05）。③ 加重期半胱氨酸转化率（3.97 ± 2.41）低于缓解期（5.92 ± 2.18）与对照组（6.14 ± 3.15）差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）；而胱硫醚转化率则相反。④ 叶酸与维生素B12水平各组间均无差异。 结论 提高AECOPD患者维生素B6及H2S浓度可能能促使AECOPD患者向稳定状态转归，减轻氧化应激损伤。维生素B6与H2S可能成为AECOPD患者的一个新的治疗点。Objective To study the roles of homocysteine (Hcy) transsulfuration pathway, Vitamin B6 and endogenous hydrogen sulfide in treating patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods Sixteen AECOPD patients and 13 healthy controls (Control group) from February to April 2010 were recruited in this study. Lung function, serum hydrogen sulfide (H2S), malondialdehyde (MDA), folate, vitamin B12, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), Hcy, cystathionine, cystein (Cys) and vitamin B6 were all measured for all the patients in the acute exacerbation period and alleviation period and healthy controls. The conversion rate of Cys (expressed as Cys/cystathionine) and the conversion rate of cystathionine (expressed as cystathionine/Hcy) were calculated for analysis. Results Serum MDA level for patients in the acute exacerbation period (AE period) [(7.3 ± 5.1) nmol/L] was significantly higher than that in the alleviation period [(3.0 ± 1.4) nmol/L] and in the healthy controls [(3.0 ± 2.2) nmol/L] (P ＜ 0.01). Serum MDA level was negatively correlated with percentage of FEV1 in predicted FEV1 (FEV1% pred) and FEV1/FVC. Serum H2S level and plasma vitamin B6 level for patients in the AE period were significantly lower than those in the alleviation period and in the healthy controls (P ＜ 0.01), and serum H2S level was significantly higher in the alleviation period [(47.2 ± 5.1) μmol/L] than in the controls [(38.8 ± 2.1) μmol/L] (P ＜ 0.01). Both serum H2S and plasma vitamin B6 levels were correlated positively with FEV1% pred for patients in the AE period and healthy controls (r=0.651, 0.680; P ＜ 0.01), but negatively correlated with serum MDA level (r=-0.334, -0.448; P ＜ 0.05). The conversion rate of Cys for patients in the AE period (3.97 ± 2.41) was significantly lower than that in the alleviation period (5.92 ± 2.18) and the control group (6.14 ± 3.15) (P ＜ 0.05), but the conversion rate of cystathionine was just the opposite (P ＜ 0.05). There were no significant differences in the levels of serum folate and vitamin B12 among the three groups. Conclusion Raising the Vitamin B6 and H2S level may facilitate stabilizing of conditions in patients with AECOPD and reduce oxidative stress. Therefore, it may become a new treatment method for AECOPD.
