Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by impaired surfactant homeostasis and accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material within the alveolar space, resulting in the development of respiratory failure. 1 There are three distinct forms of PAP: autoimmune, secondary, and hereditary. Autoimmune PAP is caused by the disruption of GM-CSF signaling by autoantibodies to GM-CSF. Secondary PAP is related to underlying diseases such as hematologic diseases. Hereditary PAP is associated with a deficiency of gene encoding such as surfactant protein (SP)-B, SP-C, or ABCA3.GM-CSF signaling plays important role (s) in the pathogenesis of PAP. GM-CSF receptor (GMeCSFeR) is composed of the binding a chain and the common b (bc) chain that is also utilized by IL-3 and IL-5. Recently, it was found that some cases of hereditary PAP show defects in GMeCSFeR expression. 2 e4 There are also cases of PAP caused by mutations in the coding region of the GMeCSFeRa gene (CSF2RA). 2, 3 In these PAP cases with GM-CSF receptor dysfunction, levels of GM-CSF in both BAL fluid and serum are increased. As autoimmune PAP is typically characterized by neutralization of GM-CSF in the lung, an elevated GM-CSF level is useful in distinguishing between autoimmune and GM-CSF receptor dysfunction PAP.
