Abstract:
Objective To preliminarily investigate the effect of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by detecting the HMGB1 level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) of the COPD patients and analyzing the relation between HMGB1 and airway limitation .Methods The research subjects were divided into the COPD group (stable COPD ,20 cases) and control group[20 cases of upper airway cough syndrome(UACS)] .All subjects were performed the bronchoscopic examination as well as bronchoalveolar lavage .The total cell counting and percentage of neutrophilic granulocytes in BLAF were detected and compared between the two groups .The HMGB1 ,IL‐1βand TNF‐αlevels in BLAF were detected by using ELISA and compared between the two groups .The relation between HMGB1 with IL‐1βand TNF‐αand the rela‐tion between HMGB1 with pulmonary function(FEV1% predicted value) in the COPD group was analyzed .Results The total cell counting and percentage of neutrophilic granulocytes of BLAF in the COPD group were higher than those in the control group (P<0 .01) .The levels of HMGB1 ,IL‐1β,TNF‐αof BALF in the COPD group were higher than those in the control group(P<0 .01 , P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) .In the COPD group ,the HMGB1 level in BALF was positively correlated with the IL‐1βand TNF‐αlevels(r=0 .79 ,P< 0 .01 ;r= 0 .48 ,P< 0 .05) ,while negatively related with the pulmonary function value(FEV1% predicted value ,r=-0 .70 ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion HMGB1 participates in and promotes the occurrence and development of COPD airway inflamma‐tion and the HMGB1 level in BALF is correlated with the severity of COPD .
