A Heated tobacco product ‘IQOS’ exposure enhances apoptosis and emphysema in mice lungs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To assess the mechanism which caused emphysema in the IQOS group, we performed microarray analysis using homogenate lung tissue that were exposed to fresh air, IQOS aerosol, or cigarette smoke for 6 months. In microarray-based analysis, gene expressions to the air group were different in the IQOS and CS group, and apoptosis-related pathways were enhanced in the IQOS group. Apoptosis-related protein (cytochrome c, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved PARP1) expression in the IQOS group were higher than air group in homogenete lungs. More single-stranded DNA and TUNEL positive alveolar cells were found in the IQOS group than control significantly.
