Expression data from lung tissue in mild-moderate COPD


ABSTRACT: Rationale: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with a complex pulmonary and systemic immune response. Objective: To characterize and relate the lung tissue and circulating blood network immune response in COPD. Methods: Lung tissue and circulating blood samples were simultaneously obtained from COPD patients (current smokers n=28 and former smokers n=16) and controls (current smokers n=9 and non-smokers n=12) undergoing thoracic surgery. We used flow cytometry to assess the immune cell composition, Affymetrix arrays to determine whole lung mRNA expression, and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to characterize and compare the pulmonary and systemic immune responses in patients and controls. Results: In lung tissue of current smokers with COPD (vs. non-smokers and former smokers with COPD) we observed a significant increase in the proportion of intermediated phenotype macrophages (Mphage) expressing both M1 and M2 markers, whereas that of M1 Mphage (pro-inflammatory) and CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes were decreased. These changes were not mirrored in circulating blood but WGCNA identified three modules of co-expressed genes that related, respectively to: (1) the total proportion of lung Mphage (extracellular matrix and angiogenesis genes) ; (2) active smoking (T cell and apoptosis related genes); and, (3) severity of airflow limitation (cilium organization genes). Conclusions: In mild/moderate COPD, the main pulmonary immune cell alterations relate to current smoking, involve changes in the proportion of Mphage and T cells and are associated with changes in whole lung tissue transcriptome. These cellular pulmonary changes are not mirrored in the systemic circulation.
