| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Patients, who have at least a 10 pack year history of tobacco exposure, were recruited from Department of Respiratory Medicine, Kanazawa Medical University and other institution. Genomic DNA were extracted from blood samples of the patients and gene polymorphisms of p53 codon 72 and MDM2 SNP309 were analyzed by PCR-RFLP. mRNA expressions of CD31, CD34 and vWF from blood, as a marker of circulating endothelial precursor cells, were measured by real-time RT-PCR. Both gene polymorphisms of p53 and MDM2 had influence on the development of emphysema. The mRNA expressions of CD31, CD34 and vWF were significantly decreased in the group of moderate COPD compared with the group of smoking control. These results indicate that decreased endothelial precursor cells in the blood from smoking patients had an impact on the pathogenesis of COPD.
