The application discloses an application of inducing
sputum CC16 as a prediction marker of
COPD severity and
eosinophil subtype. The application finds that the expression of CC16 in induced
sputum of mild and moderate
COPD patients and severe and very severe
COPD patients has
significant difference by detecting and analyzing various
inflammatory molecules in induced
sputum, and can distinguish eosinophilic COPD. The application establishes a regression model based on FEV1pred% and the relative expression level of CC16 mRNA, and the model has good sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Therefore, the
mRNA level of induced sputum CC16 has good application prospect for evaluating the severity of COPD and diagnosing the
eosinophil subtype. The application can evaluate the severity of COPD and diagnose the
eosinophil subtype in a more simple way, and based on the characteristics of the biomarker, a more reliable non-invasive kit can be prepared.
