Alterations in plasma hyaluronic acid in patients with clinically stable COPD versus (non)smoking controls
Abstract Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component of the extracellular matrix. HA and its metabolism are suggested to be altered in the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study explored systemic HA, and its metabolic regulators, in patients with clinicall...

Abstract Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component of the extracellular matrix. HA and its metabolism are suggested to be altered in the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study explored systemic HA, and its metabolic regulators, in patients with clinically stable COPD and smoking and non-smoking controls. Furthermore, associations of HA with acute exacerbations (AECOPD), airway-related hospitalizations, systemic inflammation and cardiovascular risk were studied. In total, 192 patients with moderate to very severe COPD [aged 62.3 y (± SD 7.0)], 84 smoking controls [aged 61.8 y (± 5.7)], and 107 non-smoking controls [aged 60.1 y (± 7.0)] were included. Plasma HA was reduced in patients with COPD compared to non-smoking controls (p = 0.033), but was comparable after adjusting for age and sex. Expression of HAS-3 did not differ between groups, but was substantially less detectable in more patients with COPD than (non)smoking controls (p < 0.001).
