| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to elucidate the mechanism of bone weakness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we performed a case-control autopsy study. There were 4 study groups (COPD, interstitial pneumonia (IP), diabetes mellitus (DM) and control group). The collected tissues were: lumbar vertebrae, lung interstitium, tracheal cartilage, aorta and skin.
The results of our analysis showed that in all examined tissues the amounts of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) were significantly higher in COPD and DM group than in control group. When AGEs amounts were compared between tissue specimens, they were significantly higher in bones compared to other examined tissues in respective groups. Together with previously reported decrease in bone density in COPD patients our findings suggest that increased amounts of AGEs might contribute to bone weakening process by inducing simultaneous deterioration of bone quality.
