ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Resolvin is a checkpoint controller in inflammation. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an airway remodeling regulator. We evaluated the levels of resolvin and MMP-9 protein in the serum and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) before and after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.METHOD:
We enrolled 20 non-OSA snorers and 40 patients with moderate to severe OSA scheduled for CPAP treatment. ELISA was used to assess resolvin and MMP-9 levels in the serum and EBC. All patients underwent sleep assessment at baseline and 3 months after CPAP.RESULTS:
There was no between-group difference; moreover, there were no differences in the pre- and post-treatment serum levels of resolvin and MMP-9 in patients with OSA. Compared with non-OSA snorers, patients with OSA had lower resolvin and higher MMP-9 levels in the EBC. After CPAP treatment, the EBC levels of resolvin and MMP-9 in patients with OSA returned to normal.CONCLUSIONS:
Successful OSA treatment by CPAP can normalize EBC levels of resolvin and MMP-9.Palavras-chave
