AB - COPD is driven by exogenous and endogenous oxidative stress derived from inhaled cigarette smoke, air pollution and reactive oxygen species from dysregulated mitochondria in activated inflammatory cells within the airway and lung. This is compounded by the loss in antioxidant defences including FOXO and NRF2 and other antioxidant transcription factors together with various key enzymes that attenuate oxidant effects. Oxidative stress enhances inflammation; airway remodelling including fibrosis and emphysema; post-translational protein modifications leading to autoantibody generation; DNA damage and cellular senescence. Recent studies using various omics technologies in the airways, lungs and blood of COPD patients has emphasised the importance of oxidative stress, particularly that derived from dysfunctional mitochondria in COPD and its role in immunity, inflammation, mucosal barrier function and infection. Therapeutic interventions targeting oxidative stress should overcome the deleterious pathologic effects of COPD if targeted to the lung. We require novel, more efficacious antioxidant COPD treatments among which mitochondria-targeted antioxidants and Nrf2 activators are promising.
