Low-Dose Oxygen Enhances Macrophage-Derived Bacterial Clearance following Cigarette Smoke Exposure
Background. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, smoking-related lung disease. Patients with COPD frequently suffer disease exacerbations induced by bacterial respiratory infections, suggestive of impaired innate immunity. Low-dose oxygen is a mainstay of therapy during COPD exacerbations; yet we understand little about whether oxygen can modulate the effects of cigarette s...
متن کاملCigarette smoke exposure impairs pulmonary bacterial clearance and alveolar macrophage complement-mediated phagocytosis of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Cigarette smoke exposure increases the risk of pulmonary and invasive infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, the most commonly isolated organism from patients with community-acquired pneumonia. Despite this association, the mechanisms by which cigarette smoke exposure diminishes host defense against S. pneumoniae infections are poorly understood. In this study, we compared the responses...
متن کاملImpact of cigarette smoke exposure on host-bacterial pathogen interactions.
The human respiratory tract of individuals with normal lung function maintains a fine-tuned balance, being asymptomatically colonised by the normal microbiota in the upper airways and sterile in the lower tract. This equilibrium may be disrupted by the exposure to insults such as cigarette smoke. In the respiratory tract, the complex and noxious nature of inhaled cigarette smoke alters host-mic...
متن کاملAcute Eosinophilic Pneumonia Following Secondhand Cigarette Smoke Exposure
Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a disease characterized by an acute febrile onset, eosinophilia in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and a dramatic response to corticosteroids. Although many studies have reported a close relationship between direct cigarette smoking and AEP, few studies have identified an association between passive smoking and AEP. Here, we report a case of AEP in a 19-year-...
متن کاملMacrophage mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species (mtROS) enhances early atherosclerogenesis
Excessive accumulation of mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species (mtROS) occurs in different types of cells in the atherosclerotic lesions of both humans and animal models. However, evidences on the causative roles of myeloid cell specific mtROS in atherosclerosis are limited. Mechanistically, lesional factors that stimulate mtROS remain to be determined, and the potential pathogenic int...
