摘要

Biomarkers for emphysema and specifically for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)-related emphysema have been investigated vigorously because biomarkers offer the promise of important benefits such as assessing disease status, monitoring disease progression, assessing the effects of therapy, and providing important outcome measures for research. Because of these promising benefits, the appetite to identify validated biomarkers for emphysema is now greater than ever. Among the many biomarkers for emphysema that have been considered to date (e.g., radiographic measures, biochemical tests, patient-centered instrument-based assessments, etc.), desmosine and isodesmosine have held longstanding appeal because of a compelling model by which they should reflect emphysema progression. As pointed out by Ma et al. (1) in the accompanying article, desmosine and isodesmosine (DI) occur as amino acid cross-links only in mature elastin, a major (though not exclusive) source of which is the lung. The underlying model has been that, as emphysema progresses, elastin is degraded, and its degradation products, DI, will appear in increased amounts in various fluids such as plasma, urine, and bronchoalveo-lar fluid (BALF). Interest in DI as a biomarker in AATD has been steady, with multiple available studies spanning almost two decades (2-5).
