Proteomic analysis in interstitial lung diseases: a review.

Curr Opin Pulm Med

Department of Clinical Medicine and Immunological Sciences, University of Siena, Siena, Italy.

Published: September 2009

Purpose Of Review: This article aims to review the most recent proteomic findings in tissue and biological fluids and application of new technologies for the study of interstitial lung diseases.

Recent Findings: New insights into lung cell biology as well as novel pathogenetic pathways of different interstitial lung diseases, potential targets of treatment and specific biomarkers discovered by proteomics have been reported. Proteomics has been applied to different kinds of biological fluids and the most promising material for proteomic analysis of interstitial lung disease is currently bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

Summary: The results from proteomic studies on this field could be useful in clinical practice for diagnosis, disease progression and severity of interstitial lung diseases.

Background: There is a paucity of real-world data on patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) that are progressive, other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), including treatment patterns and attitudes toward treatment. This study aimed to investigate the diagnosis, clinical characteristics, treatment paradigm and current decision-making practices of IPF and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in a Japanese real-world setting.

Methods: Data were drawn from the Adelphi Real World PPF-ILD Disease Specific Programme™, a cross-sectional survey with retrospective data collection of pulmonologists and rheumatologists in Japan from April to October 2022.

Introduction: As airway liquid is cleared into lung interstitial tissue after birth, the chest wall must expand to accommodate this liquid and the incoming air. We examined the effect of applying external positive and negative pressures to the chest wall on lung aeration in near-term rabbit kittens at risk of developing respiratory distress.

Methods: Rabbit kittens (30 days; term ∼31 days) were randomised into and groups.

Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No. 37 Guoxue Alley, Chengdu, 610041, China.

Background: Anti-signal recognition particle immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (anti-SRP IMNM) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness and necrosis. Identifying clinical subgroups within this patient population could facilitate the management of the disease.

Objectives: To identify distinct clinical subgroups of anti-SRP IMNM patients.

The present study aimed to determine the pulmonary cytokine profiles of patients with anti-RNA synthetase (ARS) and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibodies. The study included patients with ARS and MDA5 whose serum or bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) was available. Sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay microarray multiplex assay was used to measure 18 cytokine levels in serum and BALF.

Aim: To evaluate the correlation between semi-quantitative analyses and visual scores of pulmonary perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)/ Computed Tomography (CT) imaging and pulmonary function test parameters (PFTs) in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 35 patients with ILDs from China-Japan Friendship Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022. All patients underwent pulmonary perfusion SPECT/CT imaging and a pulmonary function test.
