| Research Abstract |
We elucidate a racial difference of the interstitial lung disease (ILD) by international collaborative investigation with Germany. The serum levels of KL-6 in European healthy volunteers were significantly higher than Japanese. On the other hands, serum levels of KL-6 in European ILD patients were not significantly higher than Japanese. Serum levels of KL-6 in European patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) were significantly higher than European controls, and were correlated with inversely with some pulmonary function tests and BALF findings. Microarray analysis revealed that gene expression patterns clearly distinguished IIP from chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia.
