暂无{Abstract}: Cigarette smoke initiates an inflammatory response that has aftermath long after quitting. We segregated former smokers, according to their lung function and their co-founding diseases, in 3 groups: Cancer, Emphysema and COPD. Then we searched for outlier genes in intersections of Venn diagrams where we identified 6 subsets and 23 genes that may be responsible for disease outcome. Genes expressed in the cancer patients with or without emphysema (PPA subset) were BHLH, FPRL2, CD49D, DEADH, NRs4A3, MBLL, GNS, BE675435, ISGF-3, and FLJ23462. Patients with emphysema as co-founding disease, with or without cancer (APP), had only ANXA2 in common. Genes expressed only in non-cancer patients (AAP subset) of COPD group were IL-1A, SOX13, RPP38; TBXA2R, NPEPL1, CFLAR, TFEB, PRKCBP1, IGF1R, DDX11, and KCNAB1. HIV-1Rev was the gene expressed in cancer patients with emphysema (APA subset). Then, we also looked at out-layers genes significantly expressed in all patients (PPP subset with 5066 genes), the down-regulated in Emphysema were MMP9, PLUNC, CEACAM5, and NR4A1 while the up-regulated were F2R, COL15A1, PDE4C, and BGN. We chose genes and checked them at the protein level on immune cells, this showed that neutrophils from Cancer group had increased expression of CD49d, and their total number was also increased in bronchial-alveolar lavage (154%). Macrophages in the lung of patients with emphysema were associated with a significant increase of adhesion molecule CD58 and to significant CD95 decrease, indicating they do not die. Besides, macrophages downregulated MMP9 in the lung compared to blood macrophages. Overall, we find that cancer progression requires a stickier and greater number of neutrophils in the lung while emphysema requires stickier and longevous macrophages to lead matrix destruction, and together with higher expression of SOX13 and RPP38, may promote autoimmunity. We also identified two genes, ANXA2 and HIV1-rev, that may be a pivot between cancer and emphysema outcome of inflammation.
