About this trial

To evaluate the regenerative capacities of mesenchymal cells composing the microenvironment of alveolar type 2 cells in a population of patients, undergoing thoracic surgery for suspected cancer, who are smokers with and without COPD compared to non-smokers patients

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of alveolar organoids

Comparison of the number of alveolar organoids formed 21 days after culture of fibroblasts with alveolar type II cells between smokers with and without COPD and non-smoking patients

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Fibroblast proliferation capacity

Evaluated by their doubling time, number of cells collected compared to the number of cells seeded

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 3 years
2

Differentiation into myofibroblasts

By immunofluorescence marking: number of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) + cells compared to total cells

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 3 years
3

Fibroblast migration capacity

Evaluated in Boyden chamber

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 3 years
4

Modulated signaling pathways in isolated fibroblasts between groups

Evaluated by Ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing of fibroblasts

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 3 years
