Can Natural Remedies Help
Treat COPD?
There is no shortage of natural remedies on the market today to treat, heal and cure our many ailments—chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) included. However, people living with COPD and other lung-related illnesses should be cautious when using these supplements to treat or manage their condition. That is according to a recent article published by Everyday Health.
Unlike prescription drugs, natural remedies are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and have not undergone the extensive research and scrutiny that prescription drugs receive before entering the marketplace. Therefore, many doctors and researchers are still uncertain about the effectiveness of these supplements, as well as their side effects.
Following are several natural supplements that have been said to remedy symptoms associated with COPD, as well as comments from experts on their effectiveness—or lack thereof.
Bromelain: A supplement created from the enzymes found in a pineapple’s stem and juice, bromelain is said to reduce inflammation associated with COPD. However, according to the National Institutes of Health, scientific evidence to support this claim is lacking.
Coenzyme Q10: An antioxidant that is naturally produced by the body, coenzyme Q10 has been said to increase cell activity and ease inflammation in people with COPD. Researchers have found that people living with COPD have especially low levels of coenzyme Q10; however, studies have not proven that taking the supplement improves conditions.
L-Carnitine: Typically produced by the body, L-carnitineis used to burn fat and boost energy. In COPD patients, this supplement appears to help strengthen muscles and improve endurance when exercising. Further, research has proven that those people who take L-carnitine supplements do significantly better during walking exercise programs.
N-acetylcysteine: An antioxidant available as an over-the-counter dietary supplement, N-acetylcysteine has been researched for its role in breaking down the mucus that can clog the lungs of people living with COPD. To date, research has showed mixed results on the supplement’s effectiveness.
Antioxidant vitamins: With properties of antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E have been said toimprove the lung function in people with COPD. Studies have shown that people living with COPD have low levels of these antioxidant-rich vitamins, and this deficiency can result in decreased pulmonary function. Further, studies have proven that COPD patients whose diets are rich in fruits and vegetables—a good source of vitamins A, C and E—saw improved lung function.
Note that natural remedies cannot serve as the sole source of COPD treatment. Consult with your physician before adding these supplements to your diet to ensure they do not interfere with current treatment methods.

Vitamin 'cure' for emphysema
A vitamin found in eggs and milk could hold the key to curing the potentially fatal lung disease emphysema, new research has revealed.
British scientists have found that retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, can reverse damage caused to the lungs by the previously incurable disease.
Tests on mice have found that damaged lungs have been repaired to normal by the compound, which is already used to treat chronic acne.
Trials are now being carried out to see if it could have similar success if used on humans.
Emphysema is one of the most common respiratory diseases in Britain and causes progressive damage to the lungs, which can eventually kill. There is currently no cure.
Early symptoms include breathlessness but sufferers can be left gasping for breath and reliant on oxygen.
It usually affects older people and is generally the result of long-term damage to the lungs caused by smoking or exposure to other harmful substances.
Professor Malcolm Maden, of the Medical Research Centre for Developmental Neurobiology at King's College, London, said his team's research held out "great hope" for the development of a treatment for emphysema in humans.
He said the retinoic acid compound worked on tissue cells in the lungs, causing them to regenerate.
Emphysema begins with the destruction of tiny air sacs (alveoli), which creates permanent "holes" in the walls of the lungs.
As the air sacs are destroyed the lungs are able to transfer less and less oxygen to the bloodstream.
Prof Maden said that during the tests on mice his compound made the alveoli grow back again until they returned to normal levels.
He said: "We saw quite dramatic results. It is potentially hopeful for emphysema sufferers, and for premature babies who often suffer from loss of alveoli because of treatments given to stimulate lung growth."
Clinical trials have begun in America to see if the treatment could be used on humans.
A spokeswoman from the British Lung Foundation gave the research a cautious welcome.
She said: "The BLF welcomes any interesting developments in research which may offer new options to patients with COPD (an umbrella term for chronic bronchitis and emphysema), a severely debilitating condition.
"However, the BLF would like to examine this research to understand fully whether this might be a viable option in the future.
"Currently, COPD is the fifth biggest killer worldwide and is the only major cause of death increasing in the UK."
The research was based on a chemical compound of retinoic acid taken from Vitamin A, and not from a dietary intake of the substance.

Is a regenerative approach viable for
the treatment of COPD?
Matthew Hind and Malcolm Maden
Matthew Hind and Malcolm Maden
Abstract
Degenerative lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common with huge worldwide morbidity. Anti-inflammatory drug development strategies have proved disappointing and current treatment is aimed at symptomatic relief. Only lung transplantation with all its attendant difficulties offers hope of cure and the outlook for affected patients is bleak. Lung regeneration therapies aim to reverse the structural and functional deficits in COPD either by delivery of exogenous lung cells to replace lost tissue, delivery of exogenous stem cells to induce a local paracrine effect probably through an anti-inflammatory action or by the administration of small molecules to stimulate the endogenous regenerative ability of lung cells. In animal models of emphysema and disrupted alveolar development each of these strategies has shown some success but there are potential tumour-inducing dangers with a cellular approach. Small molecules such as all-trans retinoic acid have been successful in animal models although the mechanism is not completely understood. There are currently two Pharma-sponsored trials in progress concerning patients with COPD, one of a specific retinoic acid receptor gamma agonist and another using mesenchymal stem cells.

Can treatment with retinoids induce
alveolar regeneration in people with smoking-related
emphysema
Abstract
Background
Retinoids promote alveolar septation in the developing lung and stimulate alveolar repair in some animal models of emphysema.
Methods
One hundred forty-eight subjects with moderate-to-severe COPD and a primary component of emphysema, defined by diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (Dlco) [37.1±12.0% of predicted] and CT density mask (38.5±12.8% of voxels <−910 Hounsfield units) [mean±SD] were enrolled into a randomized, double-blind, feasibility study at five university hospitals. Participants received all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) at either a low dose (LD) [1 mg/kg/d] or high dose (HD) [2 mg/kg/d], 13-cis retinoic acid (13-cRA) [1 mg/kg/d], or placebo for 6 months followed by a 3-month crossover period.
Results
No treatment was associated with an overall improvement in pulmonary function, CT density mask score, or health-related quality of life (QOL) at the end of 6 months. However, time-dependent changes in Dlco (initial decrease with delayed recovery) and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (delayed improvement) were observed in the HD-ATRA cohort and correlated with plasma drug levels. In addition, 5 of 25 participants in the HD-ATRA group had delayed improvements in their CT scores that also related to ATRA levels. Retinoid-related side effects were common but generally mild.
Conclusions
No definitive clinical benefits related to the administration of retinoids were observed in this feasibility study. However, time- and dose-dependent changes in Dlco, CT density mask score, and health-related QOL were observed in subjects treated with ATRA, suggesting the possibility of exposure-related biological activity that warrants further investigation.

Retinoic Acid–Induced Alveolar
Regeneration : Critical Differences in Strain Sensitivity
Siân V. Stinchcombe, Malcolm Maden
Siân V. Stinchcombe, Malcolm Maden
In emphysema, the lung cannot spontaneously regenerate lost alveolar tissue. Treatment with retinoic acid (RA) in rodent models of emphysema induces alveolar regeneration. However, some animal studies have failed to show regeneration when using different species and strains. We have previously shown that dexamethasone (Dex) treatment of newborn TO outbred strain mice permanently disrupts alveolar development. Later RA treatment restores alveolar architecture to normal. To determine whether this model of alveolar regeneration is strain specific, our protocol was repeated with two new outbred mouse strains. ICR and NIHS mice received Dex from Postnatal Days 4 to P15 (P4– P15). From P46 to P57, mice received RA (2 mg/kg) or vehicle. An additional ICR group received 5× RA (10 mg/kg) from P46 to P57. Control groups received vehicle at both treatment points. All mice were killed at P90 and lung morphology analyzed. Dex-treated ICR and NIHS mice showed increased mean alveolar chord length (Lm) and reduced alveolar surface area (SA) and SA/lung volume (SA/LV) compared with controls. RA-treated NIHS mice showed return of Lm, SA, and SA/LV toward control values, indicating alveolar regeneration. ICR RA group mice did not regenerate, but 5× RA mice showed Lm, SA, and SA/LV values consistent with alveolar regeneration. In conclusion, the Dex-treated mouse model of emphysema is robust and repeatable in different strains. RA-induced alveolar regeneration is not a strain-specific phenomenon. RA dose threshold for inducing alveolar regeneration is higher in ICR mice, suggesting a difference in retinoid pharmacokinetics between strains. These results provide a possible explanation for previous failed studies of RA-induced alveolar regeneration.

Endogenous retinoids have been implicated in alveologenesis in both the rat and the mouse, and exogenous retinoic acid (RA) can reverse or partially reverse experimental emphysema in adult rat and mouse models by an unknown mechanism. In this study, we examine the cellular and molecular biology of retinoid signaling during alveologenesis in the mouse. We describe the temporal and spatial expression of the retinoid binding proteins CRBP-I, CRBP-II, and CRABP-I using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. We identify the retinoic acid receptor isoforms RAR-a1, RAR-ß2, RAR-ß4, and RAR-?2 and describe their temporal and spatial expression using RT-PCR and in situ hybridization. We demonstrate that both retinoid binding proteins and RAR isoforms are temporally regulated and found within the alveolar septal regions during alveologenesis. These data support a role of dynamic endogenous RA signaling during alveolar formation.
