Project description:Cigarette smoke is a major risk factor for the development and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Tobacco smoking is also the main cause of lung cancer and the main preventable cause of other lung and heart disease. Strategies to eliminate cigarette smoking have led to the emergence of new tobacco-related products as alternatives for cigarette smoking or tools for smoking cessation. Electronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes) have been introduced to the market in recent years as an alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes. E-cigarettes are nicotine delivery devices by heating and converting to aerosol a liquid mixture composed of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavouring chemicals, and nicotine. Despite the lack of appropriate studies, e-cigarettes are nowadays widely used and advertised as safe cigarette replacements and the number of users is rapidly growing. Unlike cigarette smoke, where the determinant effects are well studied and documented, very limited amount of research has been done on the health effects and public health of e-cigarettes. The study aims to investigate the effects of e-cigarette vapour extract on gene expression in different primary isolated mouse lung cells [pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC) and alveolar epithelial type two cells (AECII)]. The cells will be exposed to e-cigarette vapour extract (ECVE).

Project description:The emerging concern about chemicals in electronic cigarettes, even those without nicotine, de-mands the development of advanced criteria for their exposure and risk assessment. This study aims to highlight the sensitivity of lung nuclear receptors (NRs) to electronic cigarette e-liquids, independent of nicotine presence, and the influence of the sex variable on these effects.

Project description:Combustible cigarettes produce many toxic substances that have been linked to diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) can be used as an alternative to cigarettes for smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit. However, the effects and mechanisms of e-cigarette aerosol (ECA) on respiratory function have not been fully elucidated, and in vivo studies of its safety are limited compared to cigarette smoke (CS). In this article, we chose nicotine levels as the dose reference and selected C57BL/6 mice for a 10-week subchronic inhalation toxicity study. A comprehensive set of toxicological endpoints was used to study the effects of exposure. Thus, additional evidence is provided for the relative safety of e-cigarettes.

Project description:Little is known about the health risks to humans associated with smoking or “vaping” electronic cigarettes (EC). Based on the knowledge that the adverse effects of cigarette smoking are observed in the dysregulation of lung biology long before clinical abnormalities manifest, we assessed the hypothesis that acute exposure to EC vapors, with or without nicotine, modifies the biology of the lung of healthy never smokers. No significant changes in clinical parameters were observed following this brief exposure to EC vapors. However, marked changes were observed in the transcriptome of small airway epithelium and alveolar macrophage compared to baseline for both exposure groups with and without nicotine, and the group inhaling the nicotine containing vapors had elevated plasma endothelial microparticle levels. While additional studies are needed to ascertain long-term health risks of EC, this study provides preliminary in vivo data suggesting that EC vapors likely dysregulates normal human lung homeostasis, at least at the biologic level.

Project description:The main constituents of electronic cigarette liquids are nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG), together with distilled water and flavors. To assess the toxicity of PG/VG mixtures with and without nicotine as basic components of liquids used in e-cigarettes, a 90-day rat inhalation study according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development test guideline 413 was conducted. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were nose-only exposed, 6 h/day, 5 days/week to filtered air, or nebulized vehicle (saline), or three concentrations of PG/VG (0.174 mg PG/l + 0.210 mg VG/l; 0.520 mg PG/l + 0.630 mg VG/l; 1.520 mg PG/l + 1.890 mg VG/l) – with (test item) and without (reference item) 23 µg nicotine/L. Standard toxicological endpoints were complemented by molecular analyses using transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics. Compared to vehicle exposure, the tested PG/VG aerosols showed only very limited biological effects with no signs of toxicity, both for the standard toxicological endpoints (e.g., histopathology, clinical chemistry) and the systems toxicological analyses (transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics). The addition of nicotine to the PG/VG aerosols (23 µg/l) resulted in effects in line with nicotine effects in previous studies. These included up-regulation of xenobiotic enzymes (Cyp1a1 and Fmo3) in the lung and metabolic effects, e.g., reduction in serum lipid concentrations and changes in the expression of metabolic enzymes in the liver. Signs of a generalized stress response to nicotine exposure such as decreased thymus weights were observed; and likely, a subset of the observed metabolic alterations was interlinked with this generalized stress response. Under the conditions of this 90-day SD rat inhalation study, no toxicologically relevant effects of PG/VG aerosols (up to 1.520 mg PG/l + 1.890 mg VG/l) were observed, and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for PG/VG/nicotine was determined to be 438/544/6.7 mg/kg/day. Further the study demonstrated how complementary systems toxicology analyses can reveal, also in the absence of observable adverse effects, subtoxic and adaptive responses to pharmacologically active compounds such as nicotine.

Project description:Electronic cigarette (EC) use has grown substantially since entry into the US market, particularly among adolescents and combustible tobacco users. Despite growing popularity and claims of harm reduction, the health effects of these products outside the lung is poorly understood. Several constituents of cigarette smoke (CS) with known neurovascular and inflammatory effects are present in EC liquids or formed during the generation of vapor. The present study characterizes the impact of EC exposure on neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) function, and provides comparison of outcomes with reference cigarette exposure normalized to comparable levels of nicotine delivery. Additionally, the contribution of nicotine to observed effects is elucidated through comparison with EC liquids which are verified to be nicotine-free. C57BL/6 mice are exposed to 2 hrs of daily EC vapor or CS, beginning at 8 wks of age. Changes in BBB gene expression are first characterized by whole exome sequencing of isolated brain microvessels following chronic (2 month) EC exposure.

Project description:Electronic cigarette use has increased dramatically over the past three years, despite numerous reports of acute lung injury and even death. In this report we provide evidence from a nonhuman primate model for Electronic Vapor-Induced Lung Injury (EVALI), demonstrating significant lung pathology from electronic vaping (EV). Here we characterized the particle size and pathogenic effects induced by EV exposure of nonhuman primates using the commercial nicotine JUUL® pod modular devices. Vaping aerosols appear to preferentially and exclusively target the bronchioles while bypassing larger bronchi. We demonstrate a significantly smaller particle size, generated by the EV device relative to combustion product aerosols produced by conventional cigarettes. Histopathologically, vaping aerosols appear to preferentially and exclusively target the bronchioles while bypassing larger bronchi which is consistent with a significanlty smaller particle size compared to cigarette smoke. Our immunohistochemical and RNAseq studies provide further evidence for severe small airway inflammation and dysregulation of gene expression within immune cells derived from bronchial lavage, respectively. Our findings raise major concerns regarding the safety of e-cigarettes, and provide a mechanism for the preferential induction of lung injury by EV. Our results, in a species whose lung architecture is the closest possible approximation of that of a human adolescent, suggest the danger of the EV device itself and resultant small particulate aerosols produced, preferentially entering and damaging a highly susceptible part of the respiratory system.
