IL-33 as a biomarker for disease severity in COPD with lung cancer comorbidity.
Objective: To investigate the differences in peripheral blood levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-17, and IL-33 between patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer (Comorbidity Group) and those with COPD alone (COPD Group), as well as to explore their clinical significance.
Methods: Samples were collected from 133 patients with both COPD and lung cancer (Comorbidity Group) and 91 patients with COPD alone (COPD Group), diagnosed at Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between January 2022 and January 2024. Baseline data from both groups were analyzed, and peripheral blood levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and IL-33 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of these inflammatory cytokines were compared between the two groups to assess their correlation with disease severity.
Results: Significant differences were observed between the Comorbidity Group and the COPD Group in terms of age (P<0.001), sex (P=0.012), duration of COPD (P=0.001), smoking history (P=0.006), glucocorticoid treatment (P=0.014), and GOLD Staging (P<0.001). IL-1β was positively correlated with RV/TLC (P=0.036), and IL-17 with FEV1 (P=0.027) in both groups. IL-6 was positively correlated with TLC in the Comorbidity Group (P=0.021). In the COPD Group, IL-33 was negatively correlated with FEV1 (P<0.001), FVC (P=0.001), FEV1/FVC (P<0.001), RV (P<0.001), and RV/TLC (P<0.001), and positively correlated with GOLD Staging (P=0.046). Multivariate logistic regression identified smoking history (P=0.045, OR=2.891), GOLD staging (P=0.028, OR=0.363), IL-33 (P=0.001, OR=27.369), FEV1/FVC (P=0.012, OR=4.291), RV (P=0.002, OR=5.429), and RV/TLC (P=0.002, OR=6.113) as independent factors distinguishing patients with comorbid COPD and lung cancer from those with COPD alone. Interaction analysis revealed no significant interaction between IL-33 and other risk factors.
Conclusion: IL-33 levels were significantly higher in patients with comorbid COPD and lung cancer than in those with COPD alone. IL-33 was negatively correlated with lung function and positively correlated with GOLD Staging, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for disease severity.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
