Parametric Optimization of an Air-Liquid Interface System for Flow-Through Inhalation Exposure to Nanoparticles: Assessing Dosimetry and Intracellular Uptake of CeO₂ Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Air-liquid interface (ALI) systems have been widely used in recent years to investigate the inhalation toxicity of many gaseous compounds, chemicals, and nanomaterials and represent an emerging and promising in vitro method to supplement in vivo studies. ALI exposure reflects the physiological conditions of the deep lung more closely to subacute in vivo inhalation scenarios compared to submerged exposure. The comparability of the toxicological results obtained from in vivo and in vitro inhalation data is still challenging. The robustness of ALI exposure scenarios is not yet well understood, but critical for the potential standardization of these methods. We report a cause-and-effect (C&E) analysis of a flow through ALI exposure system. The influence of five different instrumental and physiological parameters affecting cell viability and exposure parameters of a human lung cell line in vitro (exposure duration, relative humidity, temperature, CO₂ concentration and flow rate) was investigated. After exposing lung epithelia cells to a CeO₂ nanoparticle (NP) aerosol, intracellular CeO₂ concentrations reached values similar to those found in a recent subacute rat inhalation study in vivo. This is the first study showing that the NP concentration reached in vitro using a flow through ALI system were the same as those in an in vivo study.

Project description:Accurate knowledge of the delivery of locally acting drug products, such as metered-dose inhaler (MDI) formulations, to large and small airways is essential to develop reliable in vitro/in vivo correlations (IVIVCs). However, challenges exist in modeling MDI delivery, due to the highly transient multiscale spray formation, the large variability in actuation-inhalation coordination, and the complex lung networks. The objective of this study was to develop/validate a computational MDI-releasing-delivery model and to evaluate the device actuation effects on the dose distribution with the newly developed model. An integrated MDI-mouth-lung (G9) geometry was developed. An albuterol MDI with the chlorofluorocarbon propellant was simulated with polydisperse aerosol size distribution measured by laser light scatter and aerosol discharge velocity derived from measurements taken while using a phase Doppler anemometry. The highly transient, multiscale airflow and droplet dynamics were simulated by using large eddy simulation (LES) and Lagrangian tracking with sufficiently fine computation mesh. A high-speed camera imaging of the MDI plume formation was conducted and compared with LES predictions. The aerosol discharge velocity at the MDI orifice was reversely determined to be 40 m/s based on the phase Doppler anemometry (PDA) measurements at two different locations from the mouthpiece. The LES-predicted instantaneous vortex structures and corresponding spray clouds resembled each other. There are three phases of the MDI plume evolution (discharging, dispersion, and dispensing), each with distinct features regardless of the actuation time. Good agreement was achieved between the predicted and measured doses in both the device, mouth-throat, and lung. Concerning the device-patient coordination, delayed MDI actuation increased drug deposition in the mouth and reduced drug delivery to the lung. Firing MDI before inhalation was found to increase drug loss in the device; however, it also reduced mouth-throat loss and increased lung doses in both the central and peripheral regions.
