目的 分析稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者血浆可溶性尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活因子受体(suPAR)、IL-8和MMP-9的水平,探讨其在慢性阻塞性肺疾病(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,COPD)患者中的临床意义。方法 入选60例稳定期COPD患者设为观察组,再根据肺功能分为Ⅱ级、Ⅲ级及Ⅳ级亚组;同时选取同期健康体检者70例作为对照组,检测两组的血清suPAR、IL-8和MMP-9水平及肺功能,比较观察组跟对照之间的差异,同时比较Ⅱ级、Ⅲ级、Ⅳ级亚组及对照组之间的差异。结果 观察组血清suPAR、IL-8和MMP-9水平高于对照组;Ⅱ级、Ⅲ级及Ⅳ级各亚组的血清suPAR、IL-8和MMP-9均高于对照组;Ⅲ级及Ⅳ级组高于Ⅱ级组;以上差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。但Ⅲ级与Ⅳ级比较无差异(P>0.05)。结论 血清suPAR、IL-8和MMP-9在稳定期COPD患者中水平增高,且反映了其严重程度,有望成为COPD病情评估新指标及未来分子水平治疗的新靶点。
Objective To analyze the serum soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, IL-8 and MMP-9 levels in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and explore its clinical significance.Methods 60 patitents with stable COPD were selected as the observation group, and subdivided to subgroups stage Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ. Meanwhile, 70 healthy individuals were enrolled as the control group. And then suPAR、IL-8 and MMP-9 levels and pulmonary function were measured in both groups. The differences between both groups as well as all the subgroups were compared.Results The suPAR level of the observation group was higher than that of the control group. Also, compared with the control group, stage Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ subgroups showed much higher level of suPAR,IL-8,MMP-9. And it was higher in stageⅢand Ⅳthan in stageⅡ. However, there was no difference between Stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ.Conclusion The suPAR,IL-8 and MMP-9 level are higher in COPD patients and are related to the severity of stages. Therefore, it could be an appropriate biomarker as well as a novel target for future therapy and further evaluation.
