In vivo versus in vitro airway surface liquid nicotine levels following cigarette smoke exposure.
Whole cigarette smoke (WCS) is composed of approximately 5% particulates and 95% vapors by weight and is difficult to reproduce quantitatively in the laboratory, where typically, routine in vitro application of smoke normally only utilizes the particulate phase. In this study, we used a system for exposing epithelial cells cultured at an air-liquid interface to WCS. We hypothesized that the use...
متن کاملAirway Surface Dehydration Aggravates Cigarette Smoke-Induced Hallmarks of COPD in Mice
INTRODUCTION Airway surface dehydration, caused by an imbalance between secretion and absorption of ions and fluid across the epithelium and/or increased epithelial mucin secretion, impairs mucociliary clearance. Recent evidence suggests that this mechanism may be implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the role of airway surface dehydration in the pathogenesis of c...
متن کاملExposure of airway smooth muscle cells to cigarette smoke extract.
TO THE EDITOR: We read with interest the article by Aravamudan and colleagues (1) on cigarette smoke-induced mitochondrial fragmentation and dysfunction in human airway smooth muscle. As explained in a recent Perspectives (4), mitochondria are at the center of a reactive oxygen species-dependent pathway regulating cellular cytotoxic responses. The study by Aravamudan et al. demonstrates that ci...
متن کاملCigarette smoke and calcium conspire to impair CFTR function in airway epithelia
To maintain health and function in response to inhaled environmental irritants and toxins, the lungs and airways depend upon an innate defense system that involves the secretion of mucus (i.e., mucin, salts, and water) by airway epithelium onto the apical surface to trap foreign particles. Airway mucus is then transported in an oral direction via ciliary beating and coughing, which helps to kee...
متن کاملAssessing the Effect of Simultaneous Exposure to Noise and Cigarette Smoke on Workers’ Blood Pressure
Introduction: Noise, as the most common pollutant in the industrial environment, can lead to hearing loss and negatively affect other organs such as the cardiovascular system. Cigarette smoking is a popular habit among some workers, and can also have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simultaneous exposure to noise and cigarette smoke o...
