Abstract | Lung cancer (LC) constitutes an important cause of death among patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Both diseases may share pathobiological mechanisms related to oxidative damage and cellular senescence. In this study, the potential value of leucocyte telomere length, a hallmark of aging, and 8-OHdG concentrations, indicative of oxidative DNA damage, as risk biomarkers of LC was evaluated in COPD patients three years prior to LC diagnosis. Relative telomere length measured using qPCR and serum levels of 8-OHdG were determined at the baseline in 99 COPD smokers (33 with LC and 66 age-matched COPD without LC as controls). Of these, 21 COPD with LC and 42 controls had the biomarkers measured 3 years before. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in TERT, RTEL, and NAF1 genes were also determined. COPD cases were evaluated, which showed greater telomere length ( |
