COPD Metabolome, Smoking Oxidants and Ciliated Cell Function

“COPD Metabolome, Smoking Oxidants and Aberrant Ciliated Cell Function”
Cigarette smoking is the major cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the 4th cause of mortality in the US. Central to COPD pathogenesis is "ciliopathy", dysfunction of the airway ciliated cells that mediate transport of mucus to remove inhaled pathogens. The focus of this study is to carry out metabolic profiling of banked biologic samples and assess the hypothesis that COPD is associated with a unique metabolome in serum and lung epithelial lining fluid, and that subsets of the COPD metabolome are linked to the ciliopathy of COPD.

Cohort I
We will evaluate serum and lung ELF obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage, under previous protocols, from 159 individuals at baseline and at 0, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Cohort II
Quantify the cilia length on prepared slides from 67 cohort II samples of airway epithelium from biological samples were already obtained from subjects who were consented to participate in prior WCMC IRB approved protocols.
