ABSTRACT: EMG produced TPA metagenomics assembly of PRJNA548383 data set (Subgingival Microbiome of Tobacco Cigarette Smokers with and without Periodontal Disease).
Project description:Objectives: To identify transcriptomic differences in the blood and sputum of e-cigarette users compared to conventional cigarettes smokers and healthy controls and describe biological pathways affected by these tobacco products. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of whole blood and sputum RNA-sequencing data from 8 smokers, 9 e-cigarette users (e-cigs) and 4 controls. Weighted gene co-network analysis (WGCNA) identified gene module associations. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) identified canonical pathways associated with tobacco products. Main Results: In blood, a three-group comparison showed 16 differentially expressed genes (DEGs); pair-wise comparison showed 7 DEGs between e-cigs and controls, 35 DEGs between smokers and controls, and 13 DEGs between smokers and e-cigs. In sputum, 438 DEGs were in the three-group comparison. In pair-wise comparisons, there were 2 DEGs between e-cigs and controls, 270 DEGs between smokers and controls, and 468 DEGs between smokers and e-cigs. Only 2 genes in the smokers vs. control comparison overlapped between blood and sputum. Most gene modules identified through WGCNA associated with tobacco product exposures also were associated with cotinine and exhaled CO levels. IPA showed multiple canonical pathways altered by conventional smoking but none by e-cigarette use. Conclusion: Cigarette smoking and e-cigarette use led to transcriptomic changes in both blood and sputum. However, conventional cigarettes induced much stronger transcriptomic responses in both compartments.

Project description:Analysis of primary human bronchial epithelial cells grown in air liquid interface, exposed in vitro to whole tobacco cigarette smoke (48 puffs, 48 minutes) and electronic cigarette aerosol (400 puffs, 200 minutes). Electronic cigarette exposures included two flavors (menthol, tobacco) both with, and without nicotine.
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:Smoking is one of the major lifestyle-related risk factors for periodontal diseases. Modified risk tobacco products (MRTP) offer a promising alternative in the harm reduction strategy for adult smokers unable to quit. Using a systems toxicology approach, we investigated and compared the exposure effects of a reference cigarette (3R4F) and a heat-not-burn technology-based candidate MRTP, the Tobacco Heating System (THS) 2.2. Human gingival epithelial organotypic cultures were repeatedly exposed (3 days) for 28 min at two matching concentrations of cigarette smoke (CS) or THS2.2 aerosol. Results showed only minor histopathological alterations and minimal cytotoxicity upon THS2.2 aerosol exposure compared to CS (1% for THS2.2 aerosol vs. 30% for CS, at the high concentration). Among the 14 proinflammatory mediators analyzed, only 5 exhibited significant alterations with THS2.2 exposure compared with 11 upon CS exposure. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis indicated a general reduction of the impact in THS2.2 aerosol-exposed samples with respect to CS (∼79% lower biological impact for the high THS2.2 aerosol concentration compared to CS, and 13 metabolites significantly perturbed for THS2.2 vs. 181 for CS). This study indicates that exposure to THS2.2 aerosol had a lower impact on the pathophysiology of human gingival organotypic cultures than CS.

Project description:Next generation product such as heat-not-burn type product and e-cigarette emit lower yields of chemical constituents than cigarette because combustion of tobacco leaves is not associated with their vapor generation. Therefore it is expected that the usage of these product bring beneficial impact on public health. However, risk-reduced potential as well as risk concerns in long-term use of these products has not yet been fully understood. In this study, we intended to estimate the risk reduced potential of our proprietary novel tobacco vapor product (NTV) by repeated exposure of in vitro 3D bronchial epithelial cells to NTV vapor in comparison with repeated exposure to cigarette smoke. In addition, to reflect the realistic situation of smokers, exposure switching from cigarette smoke to NTV vapor and cigarette smoke exposure cessation were conducted.
