Electronic cigarette exposure triggers neutrophil inflammatory responses.
BACKGROUND The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) is increasing and there is widespread perception that e-cigs are safe. E-cigs contain harmful chemicals; more research is needed to evaluate the safety of e-cig use. Our aim was to investigate the effects of e-cigs on the inflammatory response of human neutrophils. METHODS Neutrophils were exposed to e-cig vapour extract (ECVE) and the expr...
متن کاملThe effect of electronic cigarette and tobacco smoke exposure on COPD bronchial epithelial cell inflammatory responses
Background Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are used to help smoking cessation. However, these devices contain harmful chemicals, and there are safety concerns. We have investigated the effects of e-cigs on the inflammatory response and viability of COPD bronchial epithelial cells (BECs). Methods BECs from COPD patients and controls were exposed to e-cig vapor extract (ECVE) and the levels of i...
متن کاملExposure to Leishmania braziliensis Triggers Neutrophil Activation and Apoptosis
BACKGROUND Neutrophils are the first line of defense against invading pathogens and are rapidly recruited to the sites of Leishmania inoculation. During Leishmania braziliensis infection, depletion of inflammatory cells significantly increases the parasite load whereas co-inoculation of neutrophils plus L. braziliensis had an opposite effect. Moreover, the co-culture of infected macrophages and...
متن کاملElectronic cigarette use and exposure in the pediatric population.

Although many jurisdictions have laws that prevent the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and the use of e-cigarettes in public places, infants, children, and adolescents are increasingly exposed to them. In t...
متن کاملDose-dependent cigarette smoking-related inflammatory responses in healthy adults.
The aim of this study was to determine the dose-response relationship between cigarette smoke exposure and pulmonary cell and cytokine concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). BAL cells and BAL supernatant concentrations of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 from 14 healthy smokers and 16 healthy non...
