Journal Article

Induction of cathelicidin (LL-37) in rhinovirus-induced COPD exacerbations

TL;DR: LL-37 in sputum and BAL following rhinovirus infection correlates with inflammatory cells, pro-inflammatory cytokines and virus load, and further studies are required to determine whether LL-37 contributes to neutrophilic inflammation in virus-induced exacerbations or is a component of the anti-viral innate immune response.
Journal Article

Rhinovirus infection upregulates pentraxin-3 in smokers and COPD patients

TL;DR: PTX3 is likely to contribute to the inflammatory response in virus-induced COPD exacerbations and may be both a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in COPD.

Airway glucose in COPD exacerbations

TL;DR: This is the first in vivo evidence linking AG with airway inflammation and bacterial infections in COPD, and Therapies that reduce levels of AG have potential as non-antibiotic treatments to prevent bacterial infections.
