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:E-cig use is continuing to increase, particularly among youth never-smokers, and is used by some smokers to quit. The acute and chronic toxicity of e-cig use is unclear generally in the context of increasing reports of inflammatory-type pneumonia in some e-cig users. To assess lung effects of e-cigs without nicotine or flavors, we conducted a pilot study with serial bronchoscopies over 4 weeks in 30 never-smokers, randomized either to a four-week intervention with the use of e-cigs containing only 50% propylene glycol (PG) and 50% vegetable glycerine (VG) or to a no-use control group. Compliance to the e-cig intervention was assessed by participants sending daily puff counts and by urinary propylene glycol (PG). Inflammatory cell counts and cytokines were determined in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids. Genome-wide expression, microRNA, and mRNA were determined from bronchial epithelial cells. There were no significant differences in changes of BAL inflammatory cell counts or cytokines between baseline and follow-up, comparing the control and e-cig groups. However, in the intervention but not the control group, change in urinary PG as a marker of e-cig use and inhalation, was significantly correlated with change in cell counts (cell concentrations, macrophages, and lymphocytes) and cytokines (IL-8, IL-13, and TNF-α), although the absolute magnitude of changes was small. There were no significant changes in mRNA or microRNA gene expression. Although limited by study size and duration, this is the first experimental demonstration of an impact of e-cig use on inflammation in the human lung among never-smokers.

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:Exposure to electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) aerosol has been linked to a number of health concerns, including DNA damage, elevated oxidative stress, release of inflammatory cytokine, and dysfunctions in epithelial barriers. However, little is known about the effect of exclusive e-cigarette use on expression profiles of exosomal miRNAs, which play critical regulatory roles in many inflammatory responses and disease process including cancer. We aim to compare the exosomal microRNAs expression profile between exclusive e-cigarette users and normal controls without any tobacco product use (non-users). Using blood and urine samples from exclusive e-cigarette users and non-users in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Wave 1 study (2013-2014), we examined exosomal microRNAs expression levels through Illumina NextSeq 500/550 sequencing. We identified microRNAs that have significantly higher expression levels in exclusive e-cigarette users than non-users. Gene enrichment analysis of these significant exosomal microRNAs showed their involvement in cancer related pathways, which might indicate a potential elevated risk of cancer among exclusive e-cigarette users.

Project description:Background: Smoking increases pulmonary inflammation, but an effect by electronic cigarette (EC) vaping is less understood. We previously reported smokers (SM) had increased lung immune cell counts and inflammatory gene expression in bronchial epithelial cells compared to EC users and never-smokers (NS). Here we report association of smoking and vaping with immune cell subtypes and gene expression in bronchoalveolar lavage. Methods: SM, EC users, and NS underwent bronchoscopy (n=28). RNASeq and the CIBERSORT computational algorithm were used to determine immune cell subtypes, along with inflammatory gene expression and microbiome metatranscriptomics. Correlations and associations were assessed across and within the tobacco-use groups, corrected for false discovery rates. Results: Classification of macrophage subtypes revealed a 2-fold increase in M0 macrophages for smokers and EC users relative to never-smokers, with a concordant decrease in M2 macrophages. There were 68, 19, and 1 significantly differentially expressed inflammatory genes (DEG) (FDR<0.05; log2-fold change>1) between SM/NS, SM/EC users, and EC users/NS respectively. CSF-1 and GATA3 expression correlated positively and inversely with M0 and M2 macrophages respectively. Correlation profiling for DEG showed distinct lung profiles for each participant group. There were 3 bacteria genera-DEG correlations and 3 bacteria genera-macrophage subtype correlations (Diffcorr>0.5 and FDR<0.1). Conclusions: In this pilot study, smoking and EC use were associated with an increase in undifferentiated M0 macrophages, but smokers differed from EC users and NS for inflammatory gene expression. The preliminary data support the hypothesis that smoking and EC use have toxic lung effects influencing inflammatory responses, but not via changes in the microbiome.

Project description:Background: While electronic cigarette (ECIG) use is rapidly rising, their safety profile remains uncertain. The effects of tobacco cigarette (TCIG) smoke on bronchial airway epithelial gene-expression have provided insights into tobacco-related disease pathogenesis. Understanding the impact of electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) on airway gene-expression could provide insights into their potential long-term health effects. Objectives: We sought to compare the bronchial airway gene-expression profiles of former TCIG smokers now using ECIGs with the profiles of former and current TCIG smokers. Methods: We performed gene-expression profiling of bronchial epithelial cells collected from TCIG smokers not using ECIGs (n=21), former smokers using ECIGs (n=15), and current TCIG smokers not using ECIGs (n=9). We then compared our findings with previous studies of the effects of TCIG use on bronchial epithelium, as well an in vitro model of ECIG exposure. Results: Amongst 3,165 genes whose expression varied between the three study groups (q < 0.05), we identified 468 genes significantly altered in ECIG users relative to former smokers (p < 0.05). 79 of these genes were up or down-regulated concordantly between ECIG and TCIG. We did not detect ECIG-associated gene expression changes in known pathways associated with TCIG usage. Genes downregulated in ECIG users are enriched among the genes most downregulated by exposure of airway epithelium to ECIG vapor in vitro. Conclusions: TCIG exposure was associated with a larger number of airway gene-expression changes than with ECIG exposures. ECIGs induce both distinct and shared patterns of gene expression relative to TCIGs in the bronchial airway epithelium.
