Multiparameter immunophenotypic characterization of these cells is challenging because of their autofluorescence and diversity. We evaluated the immunophenotypic landscape of airway myeloid cells in COPD using time of flight mass cytometry. Cells from BAL, which were obtained from never-smokers (n\u2009=\u20098) and smokers with (n\u2009=\u200920) and without (n\u2009=\u20094) spirometric COPD, were examined using a 44-parameter time of flight mass cytometry panel. Unsupervised cluster analysis was used to identify cellular subtypes that were confirmed by manual gating. We identified major populations of CD68+ and CD68\u2212 cells with 22 distinct phenotypic clusters, of which 18 were myeloid cells. We found a higher abundance of putative recruited myeloid cells (CD68+ classical monocytes) in BAL from patients with COPD. CD68+ classical monocyte population had distinct responses to smoking and COPD that were potentially related to their recruitment from the interstitium and vasculature. We demonstrate that BAL cells from smokers and subjects with COPD have lower AXL expression. Also, among subjects with COPD, we report significant differences in the abundance of PDL1high and PDL2high clusters and in the expression of PDL1 and PDL2 across several macrophage subtypes suggesting modulation of inflammatory responses. In addition, several phenotypic differences in BAL cells from subjects with history of COPD exacerbation were identified that could inform potential disease mechanisms. Overall, we report several changes to the immunophenotypic landscape that occur with smoking, COPD, and past exacerbations that are consistent with decreased regulation and increased activation of inflammatory pathways.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2020-0085oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,11]],"date-time":"2020-09-11T15:14:41Z","timestamp":1599837281000},"page":"780-793","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1164\/crossmarkpolicies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Lower
