Project description:Previous studies have shown that smoking induces oxidative stress and inflammation, known factors that coincide with the development and progression of silicosis. Nevertheless, the precise role of cigarette smoke exposure in silicosis and the underlying mechanisms are not clearly understood. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the effect of smoking, if any, on silica-induced pulmonary response and the underlying mechanisms. Pulmonary toxicity and lung gene expression profiles were determined in male Fischer 344 rats exposed to air, crystalline silica, cigarette smoke or cigarette smoke plus crystalline silica. Silica exposure resulted in significant pulmonary toxicity which was further exacerbated by cigarette smoke exposure in the rats. Significant differences in the gene expression profiles were detected in the lungs of the rats exposed to cigarette smoke, silica or a combination of both compared with the control rats.

Project description:Smoking cessation is the most effective measure for reducing the risk of smoking-related diseases but switching to less harmful products (modified-risk tobacco products) can be an alternative for smokers who would otherwise not quit. In an 18-month chronic carcinogenicity/toxicity study in A/J mice (OECD Test Guideline 453), we assessed the Tobacco Heating System 2.2 (THS 2.2), a candidate modified-risk tobacco product based on the heat-not-burn principle, compared with 3R4F cigarette smoke (CS). To capture toxicity- and disease-relevant mechanisms, we complemented standard toxicology endpoints with in-depth systems toxicology analyses. In this part of our publication series, we report on the integrative assessment of the apical and molecular exposure effects on the respiratory tract (nose, larynx, and lung). Across the respiratory tract, we found differences in the inflammatory response following 3R4F CS exposure (e.g., an antimicrobial peptide response in the nose), and both shared and distinct oxidative and xenobiotic responses. Compared with 3R4F CS, THS 2.2 aerosol exposure exerted far fewer effects on respiratory tract histology, including adaptive tissue changes in nasal and laryngeal epithelium and inflammation and emphysematous changes in the lung. Integrative analysis of the molecular alterations confirmed the substantially lower impact of THS 2.2 aerosol than 3R4F CS on toxicologically and disease-relevant molecular processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress responses, and activation of xenobiotic metabolism. In summary, this work exemplifies how apical and molecular endpoints can be combined effectively for toxicology assessment and further supports reduced respiratory health risks of THS 2.2 aerosol.

Project description:Background and Aims: The impact of cigarette smoke on inflammatory bowel disease has been established by a large number of epidemiological, clinical, and preclinical studies. Exposure to cigarette smoke is associated with a higher risk of developing Crohn’s disease but is inversely correlated with the development, disease risks, progression, and relapse rate of ulcerative colitis. Few mechanistic studies have investigated the effect of cigarette smoke on intestinal inflammation and microbial composition. Methods: Three groups of mice were exposed to three different concentrations of cigarette smoke for a total of 4 weeks, including 5 days of dextran sulfate sodium treatment to induce colitis and a 7-day recovery period. A comprehensive and integrated comparative analysis of the global colon transcriptome and microbiome, as well as classical endpoints, was performed. Results: Cigarette smoke exposure significantly decreased the severity induced colitis. Colon transcriptome analysis revealed that cigarette smoke downregulated specific pathways in a concentration-dependent manner, affecting both the inflammatory state and composition of the gut microbiome. Metagenomics analysis demonstrated that cigarette smoke can modulate dextran sulfate sodium-induced dysbiosis of specific bacterial genera, contributing to resolve the inflammation or accelerate recovery. Conclusions: Cigarette smoke alters gut microbial composition and reduces inflammatory responses in a concentration-dependent manner. The present study lays the foundation for investigating potential molecular mechanisms responsible for the attenuation of colitis by cigarette smoke.

Project description:Cigarette smoke has been associated with the development of various lung diseases including cancer. Dysregulation of miRNAs is known to affect protein expression which leads to diverse functional consequences. Investigating miRNA and protein expression in response to cigarette smoke exposure can lead to the identification of potential therapeutic and chemopreventive targets. We employed a SILAC-based quantitative proteomic analysis to identify proteins differentially expressed in response to cigarette smoke in H292 lung cancer cells. LC-MS/MS analysis led to the identification of 3,959 proteins, of which, 303 proteins were overexpressed and 112 proteins were found to be downregulated in cigarette smoke-treated H292 cells.

Project description:Cigarette smoke (CS) causes adverse health effects and leads to the development of respiratory disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), cardiovascular disease, and cancer. To reduce the risk of smokers developing smoking-related diseases, Philip Morris International is developing modified risk tobacco products (MRTP). Within a systems toxicology study, we conducted an integrative multi-omics analysis to assess the effects of aerosols from two potential MRTPs - the Carbon Heated Tobacco Product (CHTP) 1.2 and the Tobacco Heating System (THS) 1.2 -, compared with cigarette smoke (CS) at matched nicotine concentrations, on the lung of ApoE-/- mice. Mice were exposed for up to six months and molecular exposure effects were measured by mRNA/miRNA transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. In addition, the impact of cessation (CESS) or switching to CHTP 1.2 (SWITCH) after three months of CS exposure was evaluated. This data set represents the lung metabolomics data obtained after 3 and 6 months of exposure. The 'Animal ID' or 'CAN' represents the unique animal identifier and allows matching of samples across the different data modalities.

Project description:Cigarette smoking is the major cause of chronic inflammatory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is paramount to develop pharmacological interventions and delivery strategies against the cigarette smoke (CS) associated oxidative stress in COPD. This study in Wistar rats examined cysteamine in nanoemulsions to counteract the cigarette smoke distressed microenvironment. In vivo, 28 days of cigarette smoke and 15 days of cysteamine nanoemulsions treatment starting on 29th day consisting of oral and inhalation routes were established in Wistar rats. Additionally, we conducted inflammatory and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) studies in vitro in human bronchial epithelial cell lines (BEAS2B) using 5% cigarette smoke extract. Inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1ß, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, have been quantified in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) to evaluate the effects of the cysteamine nanoemulsions in normalizing the diseased condition. Histopathological analysis of the alveoli and the trachea showed the distorted, lung parenchyma and ciliated epithelial barrier, respectively. To obtain mechanistic insights into the cigarette smoke COPD rat model, “shotgun” proteomics of the lung tissues have been carried out using high-resolution mass spectrometry wherein genes such as ABI1, PPP3CA, PSMA2, FBLN5, ACTG1, CSNK2A1, and ECM1 exhibited significant differences across all the groups. Pathway analysis showed autophagy, signaling by receptor tyrosine kinase, cytokine signaling in immune system, extracellular matrix organization, and hemostasis, as the major contributing pathways across all the studied groups. This work offers new preclinical findings on how cysteamine taken orally or inhaled can combat cigarette smoke-induced oxidative stress.

Project description:Even though smoking is associated with lung cancer, the exact molecular pathways that link carcinogens with inflammation and oncogenic transformation are not well elucidated. Nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and Benzo(α)pyrene (BaP) are two major carcinogens in cigarette smoke and have not been tested in models that mimic inhaled exposure for prolonged periods of time. We treated ICR mice with intratracheal delivery of NNK and BaP three times a week for 18 months to mimic chronic smoking exposure. Mice developed epithelial dysplasia followed by lung cancers at increased rates relative to controls. Histology revealed myeloid inflammation in murine lung tissues. Exposure of lung epithelial cells to cigarette smoking condensate led to increased production of pro-inflammatory IL-1. Downstream mediator of IL-1β signaling, Interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase–4 (IRAK4), was overexpressed in murine lung tissues exposed to carcinogens in vivo. Two-thirds of human lung cancer samples also exhibited overactivated IRAK4 expression. IRAK4 was found to localize in microtubules in lung cancer cell lines. Using mass spectrometry on isolated microtubules, we observed that IRAK4 inhibition was associated with decreased phosphorylation of tubular motility proteins including MYH9. Inhibition of IRAK4 resulted in decreased invasion in lung cancer cell lines and reduced growth of lung cancer xenografts. These data demonstrate that smoking associated carcinogens cause myeloid inflammation that can be linked to oncogenic transformation via IRAK4 activation.

Project description:Epidemiological data clearly establishes cigarette smoking as one of the major cause for lung cancer worldwide. There is no standard screening method for lung cancer even in high-risk populations and the overall five-year survival has not changed significantly in the last decade. First-line treatment for lung cancer includes surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation. Recently with the advancement of systems biology, targeted therapy has become one of the most preferred modes of treatment for cancer. Though certain targeted therapies such as anti-EGFR are in clinical practice, they have shown limited success in the smokers suffering from lung cancer. This demands the discovery of alternative drug targets through systematic investigation of altered signaling mechanisms. To study dysregulated signaling pathways due to chronic cigarette smzoke exposure, we carried out SILAC-based phosphoproteome analysis of lung cell line H358 chronically exposed to cigarette smoke. We identified 1,812 phosphosites, of which 278 were hyperphosphorylated (≥ 3-fold) in the H358 cells exposed to cigarette smoke. We identified several known and some novel kinases and key signaling molecules that were hyperphosphorylated in response to chronic exposure to cigarette smoke
