Discovery and Validation of a Volatile Signature of Eosinophilic Airway Inflammation in Asthma.
Rationale: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in asthmatic breath may be associated with sputum eosinophilia. We developed a volatile biomarker signature to predict sputum eosinophilia in asthma. Methods: VOCs emitted into the space above sputum samples (headspace) from patients with severe asthma (n = 36) were collected onto sorbent tubes and analyzed using thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Elastic net regression identified stable VOCs associated with sputum eosinophilia ⩾ 3% and generated a volatile biomarker signature. This VOC signature was validated in breath samples from: 1) patients with acute asthma according to blood eosinophilia ⩾0.3 × 109cells/L or sputum eosinophilia of ⩾3% in the UK EMBER (East Midlands Breathomics Pathology Node) consortium (n = 65) and 2) U-BIOPRED-IMI (Unbiased Biomarkers in Prediction of Respiratory Disease Outcomes Innovative Medicines Initiative) consortium (n = 42). Breath samples were collected onto sorbent tubes (EMBER) or Tedlar bags (U-BIOPRED) and analyzed by GC-MS (GC × GC-MS for EMBER or GC-MS for U-BIOPRED). Measurements and Main Results: The in vitro headspace identified 19 VOCs associated with sputum eosinophilia, and the derived VOC signature yielded good diagnostic accuracy for sputum eosinophilia ⩾3% in headspace (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] 0.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.80-0.99; P < 0.0001), correlated inversely with sputum eosinophil percentage (rs = -0.71; P < 0.0001), and outperformed fractional exhaled nitric oxide (AUROC 0.61; 95% CI, 0.35-0.86). Analysis of exhaled breath in replication cohorts yielded a VOC signature AUROC (95% CI) for acute asthma exacerbations of 0.89 (0.76-1.0) (EMBER cohort) with sputum eosinophilia and 0.90 (0.75-1.0) in U-BIOPRED, again outperforming fractional exhaled nitric oxide in U-BIOPRED (0.62 [0.33-0.90]). Conclusions: We have discovered and provided early-stage clinical validation of a volatile biomarker signature associated with eosinophilic airway inflammation. Further work is needed to translate our discovery using point-of-care clinical sensors.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine focuses on human biology and disease, as well as animal studies that contribute to the understanding of pathophysiology and treatment of diseases that affect the respiratory system and critically ill patients. Papers that are solely or predominantly based in cell and molecular biology are published in the companion journal, the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology. The Journal also seeks to publish clinical trials and outstanding review articles on areas of interest in several forms. The State-of-the-Art review is a treatise usually covering a broad field that brings bench research to the bedside. Shorter reviews are published as Critical Care Perspectives or Pulmonary Perspectives. These are generally focused on a more limited area and advance a concerted opinion about care for a specific process. Concise Clinical Reviews provide an evidence-based synthesis of the literature pertaining to topics of fundamental importance to the practice of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Images providing advances or unusual contributions to the field are published as Images in Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep Medicine and the Sciences.
A recent trend and future direction of the Journal has been to include debates of a topical nature on issues of importance in pulmonary and critical care medicine and to the membership of the American Thoracic Society. Other recent changes have included encompassing works from the field of critical care medicine and the extension of the editorial governing of journal policy to colleagues outside of the United States of America. The focus and direction of the Journal is to establish an international forum for state-of-the-art respiratory and critical care medicine.
