    Abstract Background/aim: Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and chronic inflammation caused by cigarette smoke plays a crucial role in the development and progression of this disease. S100A8/9 and RAGE are associated with chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. This study aimed to investigate the expression of S100A8/9, HMBG1, and other related pro-inflammatory molecules and clinical characteristics in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
    Patients and methods: We obtained serum and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples from 107 patients and categorized them as never or ever-smokers. We measured the levels of S100A8/9, RAGE, and HMGB1 in the collected samples using enzyme-linked immunosorbent kits. Immunohistochemical staining was also performed to assess the expression of S100A8/9, CD11b, and CD8 in lung cancer tissues. The correlation between the expression of these proteins and the clinical characteristics of patients with NSCLC was also explored.
    Results: The expression of S100A8/A9, RAGE, and HMGB was significantly correlated with smoking status and was higher in people with a history of smoking or who were currently smoking. There was a positive correlation between serum and BAL fluid S100A8/9 levels. The expression of S100A8/A9 and CD8 in lung tumor tissues was significantly correlated with smoking history in patients with NSCLC. Ever-smokers, non-adenocarcinoma histology, and high PD-L1 expression were significant factors predicting high serum S100A8/9 levels in multivariate analysis.
    Conclusion: The S100A8/9-RAGE pathway and CD8 expression were increased in smoking-related NSCLC patients. The S100A8/9-RAGE pathway could be a promising biomarker for chronic airway inflammation and carcinogenesis in smoking-related lung diseases.

    Abstract Background: Neonates are at risk of nosocomial tuberculosis (TB) infection from health care workers (HCWs) in neonatal care facilities, which can progress to severe TB diseases. Tuberculin skin test (TST) is commonly used for TB diagnosis, but its accuracy in neonates is influenced by various factors, including bacilli Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination. This study aimed to identify predictors of positive TSTs in neonates exposed to HCWs with pulmonary TB.
    Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted to compare the frequency of predictors between TST-positive and TST-negative neonates. Demographic, epidemiological, and clinical data of neonates exposed to TB, along with that of HCW and household contacts, were collected retrospectively through contact investigations with the Korean National TB Surveillance System (KNTSS) database. TSTs using 2 tuberculin units of purified protein derivative RT23 were performed on exposed neonates at the end of preventive TB treatment. Firth logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of TST positivity.
    Results: Contact investigations revealed that 152 neonates and 54 HCWs were exposed to infectious TB index cases in 3 neonatal care facilities. Of 152 exposed neonates, 8 (5.3%) had positive TST results. Age of 6 days or more at the initial exposure is a statistically significant predictor of positive TST (Firth coefficient 2.1, 95% confidence interval 0.3-3.9, P = 0.024); BCG vaccination showed no statistical significance in both univariable and multivariable analysis. Sex, prematurity, exposure duration, duration from initial exposure to contact investigation, and isoniazid preventive treatment duration were not significant predictors.
    Conclusion: Age at the initial exposure is a significant predictor of positive TST in neonates exposed to active pulmonary TB. Given the complexities of TST interpretation, including false positives due to BCG vaccination, careful risk assessment is necessary for appropriate decision-making and resource allocation in the management of neonatal TB exposure.

    Abstract Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive upper airway collapse during sleep, which induces chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). CIH results in low-grade inflammation, sympathetic overactivity, and oxidative stress. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how exposure to CIH affects olfaction. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to investigate the cytotoxic effects of CIH exposure on mouse olfactory epithelium and the underlying pathophysiology involved.
    Methods: Mice were randomly divided into four groups: Youth mouse (You) + room air (RA), You + intermittent hypoxia (IH), Elderly mouse (Eld) + RA, and Eld + IH (n = 6 mice/group). Mice in the two hypoxia groups were exposed to CIH. The control condition involved exposure to room air (RA) for 4 weeks. Olfactory neuroepithelium was harvested for histologic examination, gene ontology analysis, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and western blotting.
    Results: Based on qRT-PCR analysis, olfactory marker protein (OMP), Olfr1507, ADCY3, and GNAL mRNA levels were lower, whereas NGFR, CNPase, NGFRAP1, NeuN, and MAP-2 mRNA levels were higher in the You + IH group than in the You + RA group. Olfactory receptor-regulated genes, neurogenesis-related genes and immunohistochemical results were altered in nasal neuroepithelium under CIH exposure.
    Conclusions: Based on genetic and cytologic analysis, CIH impacted the olfactory neuroepithelium in an age-dependent manner. Our findings suggest that CIH-induced damage to the olfactory neuroepithelium may induce more severe change in the youth than in the elderly.

    Abstract Background/aims: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in older patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); however, it is underrecognized. OSA is characterized by intermittent hypoxia (IH) and sleep fragmentation. In this study, we evaluated the effects of IH in an older mouse model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis.
    Methods: Bleomycin-induced mice (C57BL/6, female) were randomly divided into four groups of young vs. old and room air (RA)-exposed vs. IH-exposed. Mice were exposed to RA or IH (20 cycles/h, FiO2 nadir 7 ± 0.5%, 8 h/day) for four weeks. The mice were sacrificed on day 28, and blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and lung tissue samples were obtained.
    Results: The bleomycin-induced IH-exposed (EBI) older group showed more severe inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress than the other groups. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in the serum and BAL fluid increased in the EBI group. Hydroxyproline levels in the lung tissue increased markedly in the EBI group.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrates the possible harmful impact of OSA in an elderly mouse model of lung fibrosis. This study further suggests that older patients with IPF and OSA may be more of a concern than younger patients with IPF. Further research is required in this area.

    Abstract We report the results of investigating and managing a tuberculosis (TB) exposure in apostpartum care center. Among the contacts exposed to a nursing assistant with subclinical TB,5 of 44 neonates (11.4%) had positive tuberculin skin tests (TSTs) at 3 months of age, and all theTST-positive neonates received the Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination. Seven of 28 healthcareworkers (25.0%) and 1 of 3 household contacts (33.3%) were positive in the initial or repeatedinterferon-gamma release assay. None of the contacts developed TB disease during the studyperiod. Annual TB examinations of healthcare personnel at a postpartum care center under theTuberculosis Prevention Act in South Korea enabled the early detection of subclinical TB, whichreduced the risk of transmission to neonates under strict coronavirus disease 2019 preventionmeasures.

    Abstract Background: Smoking histories are independently associated with poor response to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutations. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of nicotine exposure on programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in EGFR mutant lung cancer cells.
    Methods: Human lung adenocarcinoma PC9 cells were exposed to 1 µM nicotine for 3 months designated as PC9/N, and cells were stimulated with gefitinib (0, 0.1, or 1 µM) for 48 hrs. Cell viability by the MTT assay and morphological changes by immunofluorescence staining were assessed. The protein expression of EGFR, mTOR, AKT, α1-nicotine acetylcholine receptor (nAchR) and PD-L1 were measured by Western blot. Gene expression of α1-nAchR and PD-L1 were examined by RT-PCR. Intratumoral levels of PD-L1 expression were compared according to the burden of smoking dosage in 54 EGFR mutant lung cancer patients.
    Results: Cellular growth was inhibited by treatment with gefitinib, and PC9 cells were significantly more sensitive to gefitinib than PC9/N cells. Pleomorphic appearance with atypical nuclei and to be detached and shrunken with condensed nuclei in PC9 than PC9/N cells. The gene expression level of α1-nAchR and PD-L1 gene were higher in PC9/N cells compared to those in PC9 cells after treatment with gefitinib. Phosphorylation levels of EGFR, mTOR, AKT and PD-L1 level were decreased by gefitinib in PC9/N cells, which was to a lesser extent than that in PC9 cells. In tumors, heavy smokers (≥30 PY) showed 28.5% of ≥50% PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) while light smoker and never smokers had 12.5% and 9.7% of ≥50% PD-L1 TPS, respectively. However, there was no statistical significance (P value =0.628).
    Conclusions: Chronic nicotine exposure could increase PD-L1 expression related to intrinsic resistance to EGFR-TKI in NSCLC patients harboring activating EGFR mutation. Considering the clinical importance of inevitable EGFR resistance, further studies regarding the role of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment are needed, especially in EGFR mutant smokers.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-related chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) influences lung cancer progression and to elucidate the associated mechanisms in a mouse model of lung cancer. C57/BL6 mice in a CIH group were exposed to intermittent hypoxia for two weeks after tumor induction and compared with control mice (room air). Hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and metastasis-related matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) were measured. The expression levels of several hypoxia-related pathway proteins including HIF-1α, Wnt/ß-catenin, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and mammalian target of rapamycin-ERK were measured by western blot. The number (P < 0.01) and volume (P < 0.05) of tumors were increased in the CIH group. The activity of MMP-2 was enhanced after CIH treatment. The level of VEGF was increased significantly in the CIH group (p < 0.05). ß-catenin and Nrf2 were translocated to the nucleus and the levels of downstream effectors of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling increased after IH exposure. CIH enhanced proliferative and migratory properties of tumors in a mouse model of lung cancer. ß-catenin and Nrf2 appeared to be crucial mediators of tumor growth.

    Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with pulmonary fibrosis. Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is considered to be a surrogate of OSA. However, its exact role in pulmonary fibrosis remains uncertain. Therefore, we investigated the mechanism underlying CIH-induced pulmonary fibrosis and the role of the anti-fibrotic agent in bleomycin (BLE) induced lung injury.
    Methods: Mice were divided into eight groups: the normoxia (NOR), CIH, NOR plus BLE, CIH plus BLE, NOR plus pirfenidone (PF), CIH plus PF, NOR plus BLE and PF, and CIH plus BLE and PF groups. BLE was administered intratracheally on day 14 following CIH or NOR exposure. Subsequently, the mice were exposed to CIH or NOR for an additional 4 weeks. PF was administered orally on day 5 after BLE instillation once daily for 3 weeks.
    Results: In the BLE-treated groups, CIH-induced more collagen deposition in lung tissues than NOR, and significantly increased hydroxyproline and transforming growth factor-β expression. The CIH and BLE-treated groups showed increased lung inflammation compared to NOR or CIH groups. Following CIH with BLE treatment, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) protein expression was significantly increased, whereas nuclear factor-erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 protein levels were decreased. After PF treatment, NF-κB and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 expression were suppressed, and Nrf2 expression was increased.
    Conclusion: CIH accelerated lung fibrosis in BLE-induced lung injury in mice, potentially by regulating the NF-κB/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Our results implicate PF as a potential therapeutic agent for treating pulmonary fibrosis in individuals with OSA and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

    Abstract Aim of the study: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Sleep quality is an important issue; some patients with acute lung injury (ALI) have underlying OSA. However, the potential influences of OSA on ALI have not been reported until now. In this study, we evaluated the impact of preceding intermittent hypoxia (IH), a typical characteristic of OSA, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in a mouse model.
    Methods: C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: room air-control (RA-CTL), intermittent hypoxia-control (IH-CTL), room air-lipopolysaccharide (RA-LPS), and intermittent hypoxia-lipopolysaccharide (IH-LPS) groups. The mice were exposed to RA or IH (20 cycles/h, FiO
    Results: The IH-LPS group tended to exhibit more severe inflammation, fibrosis, and oxidative stress compared to the other groups, including the RA-LPS group. Total cell, neutrophil, and eosinophil counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid increased significantly in the IH-LPS group compared to the RA-LPS group. Compared to the RA-LPS group, the hydroxyproline level increased significantly in the IH-LPS group. In addition, the IH-LPS group exhibited significantly more terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeled-positive cells compared to the RA-LPS group.
    Conclusions: We found that prior IH may negatively impact LPS-induced ALI in a mouse model. This result suggests that ALI in patients with OSA may be more of a concern. Further research into the mechanisms underlying the effects of IH on ALI is needed.
