Introduction

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a prominent cause of death and disability, although it has only been well investigated from a cellular and molecular standpoint. Chronic inflammation causes permanent constriction of tiny airways and deterioration of the alveolar wall (emphysema). Increased numbers of alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, and cytotoxic T cells, as well as the production of various inflammatory mediators, characterise this condition (lipids, chemokines, cytokines, and growth factors). This inflammation could be exacerbated by a high amount of oxidative damage. Elastolysis is an evidence of many elastolytic enzymes, such as serine proteases, cathepsins, and matrix metalloproteinases, being involved.

Inflammation and proteolysis are amplifications of the usual inflammatory response to cigarette smoke in chronic obstructive lung disease. In contrast to asthma, this inflammation appears to be resistant to corticosteroids, spurring a quest for new anti-inflammatory medicines to halt the disease's unrelenting progression.

Chronic bronchitis (mucus hypersecretion with goblet cell and submucosal gland hyperplasia) and emphysema (destruction of airway parenchyma), as well as fibrosis and tissue damage, and inflammation of the tiny airways, are all symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Extracellular signalling proteins are known as cytokines. In sputum, increased levels of interleukin (IL) 6, IL1, Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF), and IL8 have been found, with further increases during exacerbations, and the bronchiolar epithelium overexpresses Monocyte Chemotactic Protein (MCP) 1 and IL8. Sputum IL8 levels correlate with airway bacterial load and blood myeloperoxidase levels, suggesting that IL8 may account for some of the chemotactic activity of sputum..

The airway eosinophilia seen in some COPD patients may be due to the expression of chemokines such RANTES (Regulated on Activation, Normal Tcell Produced and Released). Tissue remodelling may be aided by cytokines. TNF and IL1 induce the production of Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) by macrophages and extracellular matrix glycoproteins such tenascin by bronchial epithelial cells. In patients with chronic bronchitis, the epithelium and submucosal cells show higher levels of Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF). TGF and EGF promote fibroblast proliferation, while activation of the EGF receptor causes mucin gene expression.

The cytokine profile in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) differs from that in asthma. The role of these cytokines must be established, and anticytokine therapy may be useful in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Chronic airflow limitation is caused by an inappropriate inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lungs, according to the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In susceptible smokers, airspace inflammation appears to be distinct, with a predominance of CD8+ T cells, neutrophils, and macrophages. Inflammation in the peripheral airspaces has been studied at various levels of disease severity.

It has proven difficult to verify the increased protease burden associated with functional inhibition of antiproteases, and it is now considered an oversimplification. The second component, oxidative stress, has a role in many of the pathogenic processes of COPD and may be one mechanism that boosts the inflammatory response. Furthermore, it has been suggested that alveolar cell loss by apoptosis may play a role in the development of emphysema. The vascular endothelial growth factor pathway and oxidative stress may be involved in this mechanism.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a slowly developing, largely irreversible disorder marked by airflow limitation. The predominant etiologic factor in this condition is cigarette smoking, which outweighs all other risk factors. As a result, the effects of cigarette smoke on the lungs are significantly linked to the pathogenesis of COPD. There is a link between the length of a smoker's past and the severity of the airflow restriction. Smokers with COPD, on the other hand, have an average FEV1 drop of more than 60 ml/yr, and only 15 to 20% of smokers have clinically severe COPD. The concept of the susceptible smoker was born out of these studies.

Tobacco-related disorders, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), account for 3.7 percent of the global burden of Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs), which is a measure of healthy life years lost. The majority of preventable noncommunicable diseases are caused by tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diets,and physical inactivity. By 2030, these diseases are expected to cost the global health system $47 trillion. Implementing a programme aimed at preventing tobacco-related diseases, on the other hand, costs only $0.40 per person per year and has the potential to save 25–30 million DALYs. Despite its preventable nature, COPD's rising incidence, effect as the third leading cause of mortality in the United States since 2008, and socioeconomic implications necessitate increased research efforts to better understand and, eventually, control the disease.

COPD has a spectrum of clinical presentations that affect accurate diagnostic phenotyping of patients as well as the design and validation of effective therapies. COPD is defined as "decreased airflow that is not fully reversible," which is traditionally m easured by the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1). Chronic bronchitis, a disorder characterised by large-airway inflammation and remodelling, and emphysema, a disease of the distal airways and lung parenchyma characterised by a decrease of surface area for gas exchange, are two of the most common clinical symptoms of COPD. COPD reduces the quality of life of patients by causing shortness of breath and a chronic productive cough, which can lead to chronic hypoxemic and/or hypercarbic respiratory failure over time.
