Embodiment 1

[0153] Example 1: Identification of Systemic Biomarkers for Survival Prediction in IPF

[0154]To identify molecular biomarkers that could be used to predict survival in IPF, we first performed microarray and qPCR in lung tissues from 40 IPF patients and 8 unused donor controls (“Cohort 1”). gene expression analysis. We then identified candidate predictive serum biomarkers from the gene expression results. Serum levels of candidate predictive serum biomarkers and lung function were assessed in a separate cohort of 80 IPF patients ("Cohort 2") attending the Interstitial Lung Disease Clinic at the University of California, San Francisco when collected. The vital status was followed for 2-8 years after sample collection.

Embodiment 3II

[0300] Example 3. Phase II Clinical Study

[0301] Research Principle

[0302] IPF is characterized by varying degrees of interstitial fibrosis. The fibrotic process in IPF patients involves several extracellular matrix proteins, including collagen types I, III, and IV, fibronectin, and tenascin-C, with abnormal proliferation of mesenchymal cells, distortion of lung architecture, and subepithelial formation. Generation of fibroblastic foci. IL-13 and IL-4 are strong inducers of tissue fibrosis. In a nonclinical model, transgenic overexpression of IL-13 in mouse lung was sufficient to induce collagen gene expression and severe subepithelial fibrosis (Lee et al. 2001, J Exp Med 194:809-22; Zhu et al. 1999, J Clin Invest 103 :779-88). In contrast, mice targeted for disruption of IL-13 and mice treated with a blocking antibody specific for IL-13 showed reduced extracellular Matrix deposition (Belperio et al. 2002, Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 27:419-27; Kolodsick et al. 2004, J ...
