BACKGROUND: Protein 1 (P1)/Clara cell 16 kDa protein (CC16, previously named CC10), a potentially immunosuppressive protein secreted by non-ciliated cells of the tracheobronchial epithelium, has been found to be a new useful lung-specific biomarker in several pathological lung conditions. Particularly, urinary P1 (uP1) may reflect the altered lung functions in pneumoconiosis.
METHODS: We investigated the relationship between uP1 values and lung functions in 31 non-smoking pneumoconiotic males (mean age 73 years) with a history of dust exposure work in shipbuilding. The protein was measured using an originally prepared enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system. The forced expiratory volume in 1 s % (FEV(1.0)%) and % vital capacity (%VC) were tested with a spirometer.
RESULTS: The mean values of uP1 were 4.62 +/- 4.82 (mean +/- standard deviation) ng/mol creatinine. A univariable correlation test showed a significant positive correlation between uP1 and %VC (r = 0.356, P = 0.049). Also, a multiple regression analysis, when adjusted for age, disease duration, FEV(1.0)% and %VC, showed a significant correlation of uP1 with %VC (beta = 0.467, P = 0.030).
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that a decreased uP1, corroborated by a decreased %VC, may be the result of damage to secretory cells. Measurement of uP1 may become a possible index of fibrotic changes in pneumoconiosis.
