Description

Application of CCR1 as COPD diagnostic marker
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field, in particular to application of CCR1 expression as a COPD diagnostic marker.
Background
COPD is a disease characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible, a common, multiple, high-mortality chronic respiratory disease, one of the four most fatal diseases worldwide today. To date, the exact pathogenesis of COPD is not clear, COPD is now generally considered to be characterized by chronic inflammation of airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vessels, and an imbalance of proteases and antiproteases, oxidation and antioxidant in the lung also plays an important role in COPD pathogenesis.
Neutrophils (PMNs) are effector cells important to the body's involvement in innate immunity, and PMNs play an important role in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses through chemotactic phagocytosis, respiratory burst, secretion of lytic enzymes and immunologically active substances. The oxidative accumulation of neutrophils is one of the important links in the development of COPD, and both neutrophils and their components are involved in the development process of COPD: 1. chemokine Receptors (CR) are a family of transmembrane receptors with chemokines as ligands, and the CR on the surface of neutrophils (e.g. CCR1) is a key molecule for their migration to sites of pathogen infection or to sites of inflammation. Wang et al confirmed that: CCR1 expression on inflammatory cells correlates with the severity of COPD; 2. toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of natural immune receptors that play important roles in the regulation of phagocytosis of cells in a variety of inflammatory responses, cell signaling, and apoptosis. TLRs play a decisive role in the function of neutrophils as pathogen recognition receptors and play an important role in the generation, development and regression of inflammation.
Neutrophils are double-edged sword, and cytotoxic substances in cytoplasm of the neutrophils can damage self tissue cells while killing pathogenic microorganisms invaded by outsiders. Neutrophils play a very important role in the pathogenesis of COPD. Much of the research focuses on whether an increase in neutrophil counts in COPD patients results in an increase in lifespan due to a decrease in apoptosis, however, at present apoptosis studies have shown no clear evidence of an increase in neutrophil lifespan, and even some of the research conclusions are contradictory. In recent years, researchers have gradually shifted the visual field to the neutrophil's own function, Prieto et al have suggested that COPD patients have a defect in PMN phagocytic activity, and in animal experiments it has been demonstrated that cigarette smoke extract impairs neutrophil phagocytosis in a pseudomonas-infected murine model. Sapey et al have suggested that neutrophils in COPD patients may have their own functional defects, and their chemotactic behavior and transitional structure are substantially different from those of other people.
Therefore, we focused on the oxidative phagocytic function of neutrophils in the study. COPD belongs to airway inflammation, and pneumonia is non-airway inflammation, and we can better explain that the conclusion of the experiment is unique to airway inflammation by selecting pneumonia as a control group; meanwhile, the phagocytic function of the neutrophil in COPD peripheral blood and sputum can better reflect the overall and local relationship of COPD.
The method for detecting the phagocytic function of the neutrophil adopts a flow cytometer-DHR method, and is a simple, convenient, rapid and good-repeatability method which is commonly used for clinically evaluating the phagocytic and oxidative functions of the neutrophil. The fluorochrome-free dihydrorhodamine123 (dihydrorhodamine123DHR) is reduced to Rhodamine123 (Rhodamine 123, Rho123) having high green fluorescence in oxidation reaction by respiratory burst when neutrophil phagocytosis is exerted. The performance of the neutrophil in enhanced function can be visually detected after being stimulated through flow cytometry detection, and DHR is firstly phagocytized by activated neutrophil and then oxidized by an oxidation system generated by the oxidized neutrophil. Therefore, the function of the neutrophil detected by the method can reflect two functions of phagocytosis and oxidation of the neutrophil, and the detection result is influenced by the defect of any function.
The application of the expression of CCR1 in the invention as a diagnostic marker of COPD has not been reported at present.

In recent years, researchers have gradually shifted the visual field to the neutrophil's own function, Prieto et al have suggested that COPD patients have a defect in PMN phagocytic activity, and in animal experiments it has been demonstrated that cigarette smoke extract impairs neutrophil phagocytosis in a pseudomonas-infected murine model. Sapey et al have suggested in their studies that neutrophils in COPD patients may have their own functional deficits, with essential differences in chemotactic behavior and transitional structure from other populations.
Therefore, we focused on the oxidative phagocytic function of neutrophils in the study. COPD belongs to airway inflammation, and pneumonia is non-airway inflammation, and we can better explain that the conclusion of the experiment is unique to airway inflammation by selecting pneumonia as a control group; and meanwhile, the phagocytic function of the neutrophils in the COPD peripheral blood and sputum can better reflect the overall and local relation of the COPD.
The method for detecting the phagocytic function of the neutrophil adopts a flow cytometer-DHR method, and is a simple, convenient, rapid and good-repeatability method which is commonly used for clinically evaluating the phagocytic and oxidative functions of the neutrophil. The fluorochrome-free dihydrorhodamine123 (dihydrorhodamine123DHR) is reduced to Rhodamine123 (Rhodamine 123, Rho123) having high green fluorescence in oxidation reaction by respiratory burst when neutrophil phagocytosis is exerted. The performance of the neutrophil in enhanced function can be visually detected after being stimulated through flow cytometry detection, and DHR is firstly phagocytized by activated neutrophil and then oxidized by an oxidation system generated by the oxidized neutrophil. Therefore, the function of the neutrophil detected by the method can reflect two functions of phagocytosis and oxidation of the neutrophil, and the detection result is influenced by the defect of any function.
The research result shows that in peripheral blood, compared with a healthy control group, the oxidative killing capacity of the granulocytes in the pneumonia control group and the COPD patient group is reduced, but no statistical difference exists between the two groups; in the sputum test, the oxidative killing function of neutrophils in a COPD patient group is lower than that of a pneumonia control group, but the expression of CCR1(CD191) is higher than that of the pneumonia control group. Increased expression of CCR1 may be more neutrophil accumulation in the airways of COPD patients compared to pneumonia patients, but COPD patients are more likely to cause pathological accumulation and tissue damage in the airways compared to pneumonia patients because of the lower oxidative phagocytic function of aggregated neutrophils. This result suggests that neutrophils in COPD have their own functional defects, leading to excessive and less precise chemotaxis upon infection, and that the ability to clear pathogens is reduced despite the increased number of neutrophils in COPD, ultimately leading to pathological accumulation of neutrophils in the lung and tissue damage.
Our findings were consistent with the findings of other scholars: liu et al report that the main chemokine receptor in COPD contains at least one tyrosine sulfation site, tyrosine sulfation affects signal transduction and further affects related cells such as neutrophils which participate in COPD, and the discovery of the tyrosine sulfation site is helpful for the development of an atopic receptor-ligand antagonist, and has positive significance for the treatment of COPD. Chemokine receptors such as CCR1 play an important role in COPD, and insight into this has helped develop specific receptor-ligand antagonists that are important events in the modulation of airway disease; according to the clinical test results of a plurality of medicines, Gladue et al think that the expression of CCR1 is up-regulated in diseases such as COPD and the like, and suggest that antagonists of CCR1 or ligands thereof have the prospect of providing therapeutic means for the diseases.
The main ligands for TLR2 and TLR4 are gram-positive, fungal and gram-negative bacteria, respectively, and play an important central role in bacterial and fungal infections. The VonScheele et al study found that the down-regulation of TLR2 in PMN expression of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in COPD patients may be associated with a decrease in phagocytic function of neutrophils. Our findings showed no significant difference in TLR2 and TLR4 expression in the sputum of COPD patients compared to the controls of pneumonia, probably because the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 is mainly related to the species of infection, and the species of infection in pneumonia and COPD patients are similar, so there is no difference in the expression of both receptors.
Abnormally active neutrophil basal metabolism in COPD patients is an important cause of the continued progression of the course of COPD. The resolution of neutrophil inflammation is a basic idea for curing COPD. Through experiments, a method suitable for detecting COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) sputum neutrophils by clinical flow cytometry is successfully established, and the correlation between the oxidization and killing function of the sputum neutrophils of a COPD patient and the expression level of the surface CCR1 of the sputum neutrophils is found, so that the fact that the oxidization and phagocytosis function of the sputum neutrophils of the COPD patient is damaged is suggested, the method is one of possible mechanisms of COPD pathogenesis, and a theoretical basis is provided for the follow-up exploration of a treatment strategy for effectively controlling COPD inflammation by taking the improvement of PMN phagocytosis as a target.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and additions can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
