IPF:
FROM PATHOGENESIS TO CURE
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is defined as a specific form of chronic, progressive fibrosing
interstitial pneumonia of unknown cause, occurring primarily in older adults, and limited to the
lungs. It is characterized by progressive worsening of dyspnea and lung function and is associated
with a poor prognosis.
The pathogenesis of IPF is still unclear and a complex series of pathological events, many of which
shared by other forms of pulmonary and systemic idiopathic fibrosing disorders, have been shown
to be involved in the development of the typical Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) pulmonary
lesions. Among them, increased local production of reactive oxygen species, abnormal wound
healing in response to multiple microscopic injury, epithelial activation and hyperplasia, presence
of cellular de-differentiation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition, imbalance in angiogenetic/
angiostatic process, unusual proliferation of mesenchymal cells with matrix deposition, disruption of
coagulation pathway and increase of capillary permeability. On the research side, a growing number
of studies have been aimed at the identification of the susceptibility gene(s) or the environmental
exposures that could drive the pathogenic process of IPF. On the other hand, several controlled
clinical trials have been carried out and new effective agents are -or will be soon- available for the
treatment of IPF affected patients. In addition, considerable efforts have been made by scientific
societies and associations to improve upon diagnostic and treatment standards for IPF patients and
a simpler approach to the diagnosis have emerged from these efforts. Most importantly, interest in
IPF basic and clinical research alike is continuously growing.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide an update on recent advances in the field of the basic
and clinical science of IPF. The most recent advancements in the understanding of the biological
processes responsible for IPF pathogenesis will be critically reviewed and the most recent criteria
for diagnosing and treating the disease, both in research and real life settings, will be discussed.
