Abstract:Objective To investigate the serum Decoy Receptor 3 (DcR3) level in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to investigate the correlation of DcR3 with airflow restriction, quality of life and acute exacerbations within 1 year. Methods From August 2021 to August 2022, 81 patients with moderate to severe COPD were included as study subjects. Serum DcR3 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the correlation of serum DcR3 with airflow restriction and quality of life was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. The clinical factors influencing acute exacerbations within 1 year were analyzed by binary Logistic regression, and the clinical value of serum DcR3 in predicting acute exacerbations within 1 year was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Compared with the serum DcR3≥2.45 ng/ml (median) group, the basophil count in the serum DcR3<2.45 ng/ml group significantly increased (P<0.05), and the number of acute exacerbation and hospitalizations within 1 year significantly decreased (P<0.05). Serum DcR3 was negatively correlated with forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) (r=-0.389), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) (r=-0.610), diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (r=-0.611), and inspiratory volume (IC)/total lung ratio (TLC) (r=-0.862), all P<0.05. There was a positive correlation between serum DcR3 and COPD assessment test (CAT) (r=0.638), visual analogue scale (VAS)-cough (r=0.282), VAS-sputum (r=0.269) and VAS-purulent sputum (r=0.237) scores, all P<0.05. Interleukin (IL)-6 was negatively correlated with 75% of the maximum expiratory flow rate (r=-0.481), and C-reactive protein (CRP) was positively correlated with CAT score (r=0.521), both P<0.05. By binary logistic regression, serum DcR3 was independently correlated with acute exacerbations of COPD within one year (P<0.05).The area under the curve of serum DcR3 in predicting acute exacerbations in COPD patients within 1 year was [0.788 (95%CI: 0.688~0.888)], and the sensitivity (0.689) and specificity (0.833) were the highest when serum DcR3≥2.435 ng/ml. Conclusions Serum DcR3 is associated with airflow restriction, quality of life, disease severity and acute onset within 1 year in COPD patients, and serum DcR3 level has potential as a marker of pathogenesis of COPD patients.
