Project description:Cigarette smoking exerts diverse physiological effects including immune suppression. Existing US epidemiological data show that consumption of smokeless tobacco products, such as moist snuff, is less harmful relative to cigarette smoking. In efforts to understand the molecular changes due to consumption of different tobacco product classes, we have shown recently that smokers exhibit distinct peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) gene expression patterns relative to moist snuff users and non-tobacco consumers (NTCs). To better characterize the biological effects exerted from the use of different tobacco products, a genome-wide gene expression study, using a cultured PBMC model, was performed. Gene expression profiles from PBMCs treated with low equi-nicotine units (0.3 µg/ml) of WS-CM and a single high dose of STE (100 µg/ml) were similar to those from untreated controls. Cells treated with medium and high equi-nicotine unit doses of WS-CM (1.0 and 3.0 µg/ml) exhibited significantly different gene expression profiles compared to the low equi-nicotine WS-CM dose and STE. Pre-treatment with higher doses of WS-CM inhibited the expression of several pro-inflammatory genes that regulate immune responses, including IFNγ, TNFα, and IL-2. Gene expression changes of these genes and other cytokine signaling genes were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Moreover, secretion of IFNγ, TNFα and IL-2 proteins was abolished by WS-CM pre-treatment even after 24 hours of toll like receptor stimulation. Additionally, pathway analyses revealed that higher doses of WS-CM inhibited NF-ĸβ signaling and a wide range of signaling pathways associated with immune cell differentiation and inflammatory responses, and increased expression of genes involved in apoptosis. Collectively, our results show that pre-treatment of PBMCs with higher doses of WS-CM inhibits immune activation and effector cytokine expression and secretion, resulting in a reduced immune response, whereas STE had minimal effect.

Project description:Cigarette smoke-induced chronic inflammation is associated with compromised immune responses. To understand how tobacco products impact immune responses, we assessed transcriptomic profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) pretreated with Whole Smoke-Conditioned Medium (WS-CM) or Smokeless Tobacco Extracts (STE), and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, phorbol myristate and ionomycin (agonists). Gene expression profiles from PBMCs treated with low equi-nicotine units (0.3 μg/mL) of WS-CM and one high dose of STE (100 μg/mL) were similar to those from untreated controls. Cells treated with medium and high doses of WS-CM (1.0 and 3.0 μg/mL) exhibited significantly different gene expression profiles compared to the low WS-CM dose and STE. Pre-treatment with higher doses of WS-CM inhibited the expression of several pro-inflammatory genes (IFNγ, TNFα, and IL-2), while CSF1-R and IL17RA were upregulated. Pre-treatment with high doses of WS-CM abolished agonist-stimulated secretion of IFNγ, TNF and IL-2 proteins. Pathway analyses revealed that higher doses of WS-CM inhibited NF-ĸB signaling, immune cell differentiation and inflammatory responses, and increased apoptotic pathways. Our results show that pre-treatment of PBMCs with higher doses of WS-CM inhibits immune activation and effector cytokine expression and secretion, resulting in a reduced immune response, whereas STE exerted minimal effects.

Project description:Data reveal that smokers exhibit distinct gene expression profiles relative to non-smokers and moist snuff consumers. Moist snuff consumer gene expression largely resembles that of non-tobacco consumers. Gene expression profiles were used to identify the effects of combustible (smoking) and non-combustible tobacco (moist snuff) products use.

In efforts to understand the molecular changes due to consumption of different tobacco product classes, we have shown recently that smokers exhibit distinct peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) gene expression patterns relative to moist snuff users and non-tobacco consumers (NTCs). To better characterize the biological effects exerted from the use of different tobacco products, a genome-wide gene expression study, using a cultured PBMC model, was performed. Global gene expression profiling results showed that 5,421 genes (2,809 upregulated and 2,612 downregulated) were dose-dependently changed by WSCM (pFDR < 0.01). Some gene expression changes detected in the cultured system were also observed in clinical studies. For example, FEZ1 and SLAMF7 were suppressed by WSCM while CCR2 and HHEX genes were upregulated by WSCM commonly in the cultured experiment and clinical studies. WSCM exposures, but not STE, uniquely affected genes involved in immune cell development and inflammatory response. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified upstream regulators, such as TNF, IL1β, and NFκB to be likely responsible for the observed gene expression changes and that these cascading signals were generally suppressed by WSCM, but not STE. Collectively, these findings sµggested that combustible and non-combustible tobacco products produce distinct biological effects which could explain the observed chronic immune suppression in smokers.

Project description:B16F10, a murine melanoma cel line is cytolytic to JEV infection. We have identified a B16F10 cell line variant which is non-cytolytic to JEV infection. This variant cell line has two types of cells, one which is persistently infected JEV and another which is resistant to JEV infection. The JEV-resistant cells (B16F10r) were seperated from the presistently infected cells by single cell cloning. To understand the mechanism of JEV resistance microarray analysis was caried out to Identify and characterize genes differentially expressed during in uninfected/JEV-infected B16F10 and B16F10r cells.

Project description:Skeletal muscle dysfunction contributes to exercise limitation in COPD. In this study cigarette smoke exposure was hypothesized to increase expression of the inflammatory cytokine, TNF-alpha, thereby suppressing PGC-1alpha, and hence affecting down stream molecules that regulate oxygen transport and muscle function. Furthermore, we hypothesized that highly vascularized oxidative skeletal muscle would be more susceptible to cigarette smoke than less well-vascularized glycolytic muscle. To test these hypotheses, mice were exposed to cigarette smoke daily for 8 or 16 weeks, resulting in 157% (8 weeks) and 174% (16 weeks) increases in serum TNF-alpha. Separately, TNF-alpha administered to C2C12 myoblasts was found to dose-dependently reduce PGC-1alpha mRNA. In the smoke-exposed mice, PGC-1alpha mRNA was decreased, by 48% in soleus and 23% in EDL. The vascular PGC-1alpha target molecule, VEGF, was also down-regulated, but only in the soleus, which exhibited capillary regression and an oxidative to glycolytic fiber type transition. The apoptosis PGC-1alpha target genes, atrogin-1 and MuRF1, were up-regulated, and to a greater extent in the soleus than EDL. Citrate synthase (soleus-19%, EDL-17%) and beta-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (beta-HAD) (soleus-22%, EDL-19%) decreased similarly in both muscle types. There was loss of body and gastrocnemius complex mass, with rapid soleus but not EDL fatigue and diminished exercise endurance. These data suggest that in response to smoke exposure, TNF-alpha-mediated down-regulation of PGC-1alpha may be a key step leading to vascular and myocyte dysfunction, effects that are more evident in oxidative than glycolytic skeletal muscles.

Project description:The widespread use of electronic cigarettes (e-cig) is a serious public health concern; however, mechanisms by which e-cig impair the function of airway epithelial cells-the direct target of e-cig smoke-are not fully understood. Here we report transcriptomic changes, including decreased expression of many ribosomal genes, in airway epithelial cells in response to e-cig exposure. Using RNA-seq we identify over 200 differentially expressed genes in air-liquid interface cultured primary normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) exposed to e-cig smoke solution from commercial e-cig cartridges. In particular, exposure to e-cig smoke solution inhibits biological pathways involving ribosomes and protein biogenesis in NHBE cells. Consistent with this effect, expression of corresponding ribosomal proteins and subsequent protein biogenesis are reduced in the cells exposed to e-cig. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis identified the presence of five flavoring chemicals designated as 'high priority' in regard to respiratory health, and methylglyoxal in e-cig smoke solution. Together, our findings reveal the potential detrimental effect of e-cig smoke on ribosomes and the associated protein biogenesis in airway epithelium. Our study calls for further investigation into how these changes in the airway epithelium contribute to the current epidemic of lung injuries in e-cig users.

Project description:Alternations in gene methylation and other epigenetic changes regulate normal development as well as drive disease progression. Chronic cigarette smoking causes hyper- and hypo-methylation of genes that could contribute to smoking-related diseases. It is unclear whether consumers of non-combustible tobacco, such as moist snuff, also exhibit such perturbations in their methylome. Here, we present global methylation changes relative to non-tobacco consumers in buccal cells collected from smokers (SMK) and moist snuff consumers (MSC). Generally healthy adult male study subjects were recruited into SMK, MSC and Non-Tobacco Consumer (NTC) cohorts (40 subjects/cohort). Global methylation profiling was performed on the Illumina 450K methylation array using buccal cell DNA. A total of 1,252 loci were found to be significantly differentially methylated in tobacco consumers relative to non-tobacco consumers. Overall, the SMK cohort exhibited larger qualitative and quantitative changes relative to MSC. Approximately half of the total number of gene loci, classified as Combustible Tobacco-Related signatures, and a third of the changes, termed Tobacco-Related signatures, were commonly detected in the tobacco consumers. Very few differences were detected between MSC and NTC, and hierarchical clustering of the top 50 significant gene loci suggested that MSC and NTC co-cluster. Consistent with physiological functions of AhR, combustible tobacco drives profound changes in buccal cell methylation status, principally impacting cell development and immune response pathways. These results aid in placing combustible and non-combustible tobacco products along a risk continuum and provide additional insights into the effects of tobacco consumption.
