The prognosis of elderly individuals with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remains poor. Fibroblastic foci, in which aggregates of proliferating fibroblasts and myofibroblasts are involved, are the pathological hallmark lesions in IPF to represent focal areas of active fibrogenesis. Fibroblast heterogeneity in fibrotic lesions hampers the discovery of the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, to determine of the pathogenesis of IPF, identification of functional fibroblasts is warranted. This study was aimed to determine the role of fibroblasts positive for meflin, identified as a potential marker for mesenchymal stromal cells, during the development of pulmonary fibrosis. We characterized meflin-positive cells in a single cell atlas established by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)-based profiling of 243,472 cells from 32 IPF lungs and 29 normal lung samples. scRNA-seq combined with in situ RNA hybridization identified proliferating fibroblasts positive for meflin in fibroblastic foci, not dense fibrosis, of fibrotic lungs in IPF patients. We determined the role of fibroblasts positive for meflin using bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis. A BLM-induced lung fibrosis model for meflin-deficient mice showed that fibroblasts positive for meflin had anti-fibrotic property to prevent pulmonary fibrosis. Although transforming growth factor-β-induced fibrogenesis and cell senescence with senescence-associated secretory phenotype were exacerbated in fibroblasts via the repression or lack of meflin, these were inhibited in meflin-deficient fibroblasts with meflin reconstitution. These findings provide evidence to show the biological importance of meflin expression on fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in the active fibrotic region of pulmonary fibrosis.

Background: Good adherence to an inhaled medication protocol is necessary for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and several interventions to improve adherence have been reported. However, the impact of patient life changes and psychological aspects on treatment motivation is obscure. Here, we investigated changes in inhaler adherence during the COVID-19 pandemic and how lifestyle and psychological changes affected it. Methods: Seven-hundred sixteen adult patients with asthma and COPD who had visited Nagoya University Hospital between 2015 and 2020 were selected. Among them, 311 patients had received instruction at a pharmacist-managed clinic (PMC). We distributed one-time cross-sectional questionnaires from January 12 to March 31, 2021. The questionnaire covered the status of hospital visits, inhalation adherence before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, lifestyles, medical conditions, and psychological stress. The Adherence Starts with Knowledge-12 (ASK-12) was used to assess adherence barriers. Results: Four-hundred thirty-three patients answered the questionnaire. Inhalation adherence was significantly improved in both diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most common reason for improved adherence was fear of infection. Patients with improved adherence were more likely to believe that controller inhalers could prevent COVID-19 from becoming more severe. Improved adherence was more common in patients with asthma, those not receiving counseling at PMC, and those with poor baseline adherence. Conclusions: Inhalation adherence for asthma and COPD improved in the COVID-19 pandemic. The patients seemed to realize the necessity and benefits of the medication more strongly than before the pandemic, which motivated them to improve adherence.

Identifying the host genetic factors underlying severe COVID-19 is an emerging challenge1–5. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 2,393 cases of COVID-19 in a cohort of Japanese individuals collected during the initial waves of the pandemic, with 3,289 unaffected controls. We identified a variant on chromosome 5 at 5q35 (rs60200309-A), close to the dedicator of cytokinesis 2 gene (DOCK2), which was associated with severe COVID-19 in patients less than 65 years of age. This risk allele was prevalent in East Asian individuals but rare in Europeans, highlighting the value of genome-wide association studies in non-European populations. RNA-sequencing analysis of 473 bulk peripheral blood samples identified decreased expression of DOCK2 associated with the risk allele in these younger patients. DOCK2 expression was suppressed in patients with severe cases of COVID-19. Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis (n = 61 individuals) identified cell-type-specific downregulation of DOCK2 and a COVID-19-specific decreasing effect of the risk allele on DOCK2 expression in non-classical monocytes. Immunohistochemistry of lung specimens from patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia showed suppressed DOCK2 expression. Moreover, inhibition of DOCK2 function with CPYPP increased the severity of pneumonia in a Syrian hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, characterized by weight loss, lung oedema, enhanced viral loads, impaired macrophage recruitment and dysregulated type I interferon responses. We conclude that DOCK2 has an important role in the host immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the development of severe COVID-19, and could be further explored as a potential biomarker and/or therapeutic target.

Background and objective: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has poor prognosis, and the multidisciplinary diagnostic agreement is low. Moreover, surgical lung biopsies pose comorbidity risks. Therefore, using data from non-invasive tests usually employed to assess interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), we aimed to develop an automated algorithm combining deep learning and machine learning that would be capable of detecting and differentiating IPF from other ILDs. Methods: We retrospectively analysed consecutive patients presenting with ILD between April 2007 and July 2017. Deep learning was used for semantic image segmentation of HRCT based on the corresponding labelled images. A diagnostic algorithm was then trained using the semantic results and non-invasive findings. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed using five-fold cross-validation. Results: In total, 646,800 HRCT images and the corresponding labelled images were acquired from 1068 patients with ILD, of whom 42.7% had IPF. The average segmentation accuracy was 96.1%. The machine learning algorithm had an average diagnostic accuracy of 83.6%, with high sensitivity, specificity and kappa coefficient values (80.7%, 85.8% and 0.665, respectively). Using Cox hazard analysis, IPF diagnosed using this algorithm was a significant prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 2.593; 95% CI, 2.069–3.250; p < 0.001). Diagnostic accuracy was good even in patients with usual interstitial pneumonia patterns on HRCT and those with surgical lung biopsies. Conclusion: Using data from non-invasive examinations, the combined deep learning and machine learning algorithm accurately, easily and quickly diagnosed IPF in a population with various ILDs.

Studies comparing single cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data between conditions mainly focus on differences in the proportion of cell types or on differentially expressed genes. In many cases these differences are driven by changes in cell interactions which are challenging to infer without spatial information. To determine cell-cell interactions that differ between conditions we developed the Cell Interaction Network Inference (CINS) pipeline. CINS combines Bayesian network analysis with regression-based modeling to identify differential cell type interactions and the proteins that underlie them. We tested CINS on a disease case control and on an aging mouse dataset. In both cases CINS correctly identifies cell type interactions and the ligands involved in these interactions improving on prior methods suggested for cell interaction predictions. We performed additional mouse aging scRNA-Seq experiments which further support the interactions identified by CINS.

Because severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the respiratory system and develops into respiratory failure, patients with pre-existing chronic lung disorders, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), are thought to be at high risk of death. Patients with IPF often suffer from a lethal complication, acute exacerbation (AE), a significant part of which is assumed to be triggered by respiratory viral infection. However, whether mild to moderate COVID-19 can trigger AE in patients with IPF remains unknown. This is the case report of a 60-year-old man with a 4-year history of IPF who successfully recovered from moderate COVID-19 but subsequently developed more severe respiratory failure, which was considered to be a COVID-19-triggered acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF). It is important to be aware of the risk of AE-IPF after COVID-19 and to properly manage this deadly complication of IPF. Recent literature reporting cases with chronic interstitial lung diseases which developed respiratory failure by complications with COVID-19 is also reviewed and discussed.

Purpose of the study: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease with a poor prognosis. As the efficacy of currently available antifibrotics is limited, development of new therapies is warranted. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β plays a central role in the pathogenesis of IPF through mechanisms such as promoting the production of extracellular matrix by fibroblasts. Conversely, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are known to be antifibrotic and may counterbalance TGF-β signaling via BMP receptor type 2 (BMPR2). However, little is known about the expression status of BMPR2 and its function in pulmonary fibrosis, and manipulation of BMPR2 expression has never been attempted. In this study, we aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of BMPR2 upregulation for modulating the imbalance of the TGF-β/BMP axis and reduce the profibrotic changes in lung fibroblasts. Materials and Methods: We investigated BMPR2 expression in pulmonary fibrosis and TGF-β/BMP signaling in lung fibroblasts. Then we evaluated the impact of BMPR2 upregulation using adenoviral transduction on TGF-β-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation and fibronectin production in lung fibroblasts. Results: BMPR2 was distributed in airway epithelium and alveolar walls in rat lungs. BMPR2 expression was decreased in fibrotic lesions in the lungs of rats with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis and in human lung fibroblasts (HLFs) stimulated with TGF-β. Although Smad2/3 phosphorylation and fibronectin production were not suppressed solely by BMPs, phosphorylated Smad2/3 was decreased in BMPR2-transduced cells even without BMP stimulation. Fibronectin was decreased only when BMPR2-transduced HLFs were stimulated with BMP7 (but not BMP4). Similar results were also observed in IPF patient HLFs and rat lung fibroblasts. Conclusions: BMPR2 expression was reduced in fibrotic lungs and lung fibroblasts stimulated with TGF-β. BMPR2 transduction to lung fibroblasts reduced Smad2/3 phosphorylation, and reduced fibronectin production when treated with BMP7. Upregulation of BMPR2 may be a possible strategy for treating pulmonary fibrosis.

We herein report a case of acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) triggered by COVID-19. An 87-year-old woman tested positive for COVID-19 on a polymerase chain reaction test, and computed tomography revealed ground-glass opacity (GGO) superimposed on a background pattern consistent with usual interstitial pneumonia. Considering these data, we diagnosed her with AE-IPF. She experienced worsening of dyspnea and expansion of the GGO. Therefore, we introduced high-dose steroids (methylprednisolone 250 mg/day for 3 days). After the treatment, the pulmonary infiltrates improved. She was discharged from our hospital without severe disability. High-dose steroids can be a viable treatment option for AE-IPF triggered by COVID-19.

Background: As the application of silica nanomaterials continues to expand, increasing chances of its exposure to the human body and potential harm are anticipated. Although the toxicity of silica nanomaterials is assumed to be affected by their physio-chemical properties, including size and surface functionalization, its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that analysis of intracellular localization of the particles and subsequent intracellular signaling could reveal a novel determinant of inflammatory response against silica particles with different physico-chemical properties. Results: We employed a murine intratracheal instillation model of amorphous silica nanoparticles (NPs) exposure to compare their in vivo toxicities in the respiratory system. Pristine silica-NPs of 50 nm diameters (50 nm-plain) induced airway-centered lung injury with marked neutrophilic infiltration. By contrast, instillation of pristine silica particles of a larger diameter (3 μm; 3 μm-plain) significantly reduced the severity of lung injury and neutrophilic infiltration, possibly through attenuated induction of neutrophil chemotactic chemokines including MIP2. Ex vivo analysis of alveolar macrophages as well as in vitro assessment using RAW264.7 cells revealed a remarkably lower cellular uptake of 3 μm-plain particles compared with 50 nm-plain, which is assumed to be the underlying mechanism of attenuated immune response. The severity of lung injury and neutrophilic infiltration was also significantly reduced after intratracheal instillation of silica NPs with an amine surface modification (50 nm-NH2) when compared with 50 nm-plain. Despite unchanged efficacy in cellular uptake, treatment with 50 nm-NH2 induced a significantly attenuated immune response in RAW264.7 cells. Assessment of intracellular redox signaling revealed increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in endosomal compartments of RAW264.7 cells treated with 50 nm-plain when compared with vehicle-treated control. In contrast, augmentation of endosomal ROS signals in cells treated with 50 nm-NH2 was significantly lower. Moreover, selective inhibition of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) was sufficient to inhibit endosomal ROS bursts and induction of chemokine expressions in cells treated with silica NPs, suggesting the central role of endosomal ROS generated by NOX2 in the regulation of the inflammatory response in macrophages that endocytosed silica NPs. Conclusions: Our murine model suggested that the pulmonary toxicity of silica NPs depended on their physico-chemical properties through distinct mechanisms. Cellular uptake of larger particles by macrophages decreased, while surface amine modification modulated endosomal ROS signaling via NOX2, both of which are assumed to be involved in mitigating immune response in macrophages and resulting lung injury.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) influences mortality in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Almost all studies on patients with ILD, have focused on the clinical impact of pre-capillary PH on survival. Therefore, little is known about the influence of post-capillary PH. We aimed to assess the prevalence of post-capillary PH and its clinical impact on survival in patients with ILD, followed by comparison with pre-capillary PH. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 1152 patients with ILD who were diagnosed with PH using right heart catheterization between May 2007 and December 2015. We analyzed the demographics and composite outcomes (defined as death from any cause or lung transplantation) of patients with post-capillary PH and compared them with patients with pre-capillary PH. Results: Thirty-two (20%) of the 157 patients with ILD-PH were diagnosed with post-capillary PH. Patients with post-capillary PH had significantly lower modified Medical Research Council scores, higher diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide, higher resting PaO2, lower pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and higher lowest oxygen saturation during the 6-min walk test compared to those with pre-capillary PH. Cardiovascular diseases were associated with a higher risk of mortality in patients with post-capillary PH. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis demonstrated no significant difference between the composite outcomes in pre-capillary and post-capillary PH, while PVR and the ILD Gender-Age-Physiology Index were significantly associated with the composite outcome. Conclusions: We found that approximately one-fifth of patients with ILD-PH were diagnosed with post-capillary PH, and that PVR and not post-capillary PH was associated with mortality.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is projected to continue to contribute to an increase in the overall worldwide burden of disease until 2030. Therefore, an accurate assessment of the risk of airway obstruction in patients with COPD has become vitally important. Although the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS), and the Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS) provide the criteria by which to diagnose COPD, many studies suggest that it is in fact underdiagnosed. Its prevalence increases, while the impact of COPD-related systemic comorbidities is also increasingly recognized in clinical aspects of COPD. Although a recent report suggests that spirometry should not be used to screen for airflow limitation in individuals without respiratory symptoms, the early detection of COPD in patients with no, or few, symptoms is an opportunity to provide appropriate management based on COPD guidelines. Clinical advances have been made in pharmacotherapeutic approaches to COPD. This article provides a current understanding of the importance of an appropriate diagnosis in the real-world management of COPD.

Background and objective: The efficacy of supplemental oxygen during exercise remains unclear for patients with IPF, as there have been conflicting results from recent prospective studies with small sample sizes. Methods: This prospective, single-blind, randomized, crossover trial evaluated the efficacy of supplemental oxygen compared with placebo air during exercise in consecutive patients with IPF without resting hypoxaemia at initial evaluation. Patients with <90% SpO2 in a 6MWT using room air were randomly assigned to a CWRET at 80% of peak work rate with oxygen or placebo air gas via nasal cannula at 4 L/min. The primary endpoint was the effect of supplemental oxygen on endurance time. Results: We recruited 72 consecutive patients (median age: 66.5 years, % FVC: 84.6%, % DLCO: 61.4%). Supplemental oxygen significantly increased the endurance time (340–424 s; P < 0.001) and minimum SpO2 (88.0–94.0%; P < 0.001) compared with placebo air. Furthermore, supplemental oxygen significantly improved dyspnoea and leg fatigue. In a multivariate linear regression analysis, the endurance time on air was an independent explanatory variable of the improvement rate of endurance time (P = 0.02). Conclusion: In mild–moderate IPF with exercise-induced hypoxaemia even without resting hypoxaemia, supplemental oxygen during exercise improved the endurance time, desaturation and subjective symptoms. Patients with shorter endurance times with placebo air showed better improvement with supplemental oxygen.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been a breakthrough in medical oncology. However, many patients experience a novel type of adverse drug reaction that has a unique clinical presentation, called immune-related adverse events (irAEs). A breakdown of self-tolerance and an exaggerated autoimmune reaction by the host are assumed to be the underlying mechanisms. Therefore, special attention to the optimal diagnosis and management is required. Among the various effects of irAE, pneumonitis has been recognized as an important manifestation because of its high morbidity and mortality. As the application of ICIs is expanding to a wider variety of tumor types, as well as its use with cytotoxic agents and radiation, clinicians are highly likely to encounter this complication. In this review, we will summarize the current understanding of the underlying mechanisms, incidence, risk factors, optimal diagnostic workup, and management of ICI-related pneumonitis (IRP). We will also review fundamental information on drug-induced lung toxicity in the oncology setting. In addition, research perspectives focused on better risk stratification and management to avoid serious complications in the future are presented.

Activation of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) combined with persistent hypoxia often affects the tumor microenvironment. Disruption of cadherin/catenin complexes induced by these stimulations yields aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) production, characteristics of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF), the hallmark of the response to hypoxia, play differential roles during development of diseases. Recent studies show that localization of cadherin/catenin complexes at the cell membrane might be tightly regulated by protein phosphatase activity. We aimed to investigate the role of stabilized HIF-1α expression by protein phosphatase activity on dissociation of the E-cadherin/β-catenin complex and aberrant ECM expression in lung cancer cells under stimulation by TGF-β. By using lung cancer cells treated with HIF-1α stabilizers or carrying doxycycline-dependent HIF-1α deletion or point mutants, we investigated the role of stabilized HIF-1α expression on TGF-β-induced EMT in lung cancer cells. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms were determined by inhibition of protein phosphatase activity. Persistent stimulation by TGF-β and hypoxia induced EMT phenotypes in H358 cells in which stabilized HIF-1α expression was inhibited. Stabilized HIF-1α protein expression inhibited the TGF-β-stimulated appearance of EMT phenotypes across cell types and species, independent of de novo vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) expression. Inhibition of protein phosphatase 2A activity abrogated the HIF-1α-induced repression of the TGF-β-stimulated appearance of EMT phenotypes. This is the first study to show a direct role of stabilized HIF-1α expression on inhibition of TGF-β-induced EMT phenotypes in lung cancer cells, in part, through protein phosphatase activity.

Background: It is unclear whether health related quality of life (HRQL) may have a predictive value for mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We investigated the relationship between HRQL assessed using the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and survival time in patients with IPF, and tried to determine a clinical meaningful cut off value to predict poorer survival rates. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with IPF who underwent an initial evaluation from May 2007 to December 2012. The diagnosis of IPF was made according to the 2011 international consensus guidelines. We used Cox proportional hazard models to identify independent predictors for mortality rate in patients with IPF. Results: We examined 182 eligible cases, average age was 66years old, and 86% were male. Mean levels of percent predicted FVC, DLco, six-minute-walk test distance, and the SGRQ total score were around 80%, 58%, 580m, and 34 points. On multivariate analysis, the SGRQ total score (hazard ratio [HR], 1.012; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.001-1.023; P=<.029) and percent predicted FVC (HR, 0.957; 95% CI 0.944-0.971, P<.001) were independent predictors for mortality rate. Moreover, a score higher than 30 points in the SGRQ total score showed higher mortality rate (HR, 2.047; 95% CI, 1.329-3.153; P=<.001). Conclusions: The SGRQ total score was one of independent prognostic factors in patients with IPF. Total scores higher than 30 points were associated with higher mortality rates. Trial registration: This study was retrospective, observational study, so it is not applicable.

Background: While the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been well established, emerging evidence also suggests its benefit in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the differences and similarities between how PR affects diseases with different physiologies remain unknown. Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of PR in COPD and IPF patients by performing multifactorial evaluation with various exercise capacity measurements, and dyspnea and health-related quality of life (QoL) assessment. Methods: Twenty-two IPF patients (%vital capacity: 72%) and 27 COPD patients (%forced expiratory volume1: 43%) were recruited. Subjects who completed a 10-week outpatient PR program were analyzed. We assessed five exercise capacity indicators (6-minute walking distance, incremental shuttle walking distance, endurance time, peak work rate, and peak values for oxygen uptake [peak VO2]), dyspnea (Baseline Dyspnea Index: BDI), and health-related QoL (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire: SGRQ) at baseline and immediately following completion of the PR program. Results: After 10 weeks of PR, all exercise capacity measurements, except VO2, as well as BDI and SGRQ score improved significantly (p<0.05) in both disease groups. The magnitude of the observed changes in each outcome, assessed by the effect size, was comparable between IPF and COPD patients. This was also true for endurance time, the measurement most responsive to PR, with a large effect size. Conclusions: PR can result in comparable improvements in exercise capacity, including endurance time, and dyspnea and HRQoL in both IPF and COPD patients after 10 weeks of exercise training.
