Sodium pertechnetate (Na99mTcO4) biodistribution in mice exposed to cigarette smoke
BACKGROUND: The biological effects of cigarette smoke are not fully known. To improve our understanding of the action of various chemical agents, we investigated the biodistribution of sodium pertechnetate (Na99mTcO4) in mice exposed to cigarette smoke. METHODS: Fifteen BALB/c male mice were exposed to the smoke of nine whole commercial cigarettes per day, 3 times/day, for up to 10 days to whol...
متن کاملRegional Heterogeneity in Murine Lung Fibroblasts from Normal Mice or Mice Exposed Once to Cigarette Smoke
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is characterized by matrix deposition in the small airways but matrix loss from the parenchyma, phenomena which must depend on the ability of local fibroblasts to produce matrix after smoke exposure. To investigate this idea, we exposed C57Bl/6 mice once to cigarette smoke or to air (control) and prepared primary cultures of lung fibroblasts by microdisse...
متن کاملSusceptibility to pulmonary hypertension in inbred strains of mice exposed to cigarette smoke.
Cor pulmonale is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with emphysema, but it is not known whether alveolar destruction is directly involved in the disease pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between susceptibility to smoking-induced cor pulmonale and alveolar destruction in eight inbred strains of mice: 129XI/SvJ, A/J, A/HeJ, BALB/cJ, C3...
متن کاملDistal airways in mice exposed to cigarette smoke: Nrf2-regulated genes are increased in Clara cells.
Cigarette smoke (CS) is the main risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Terminal bronchioles are critical zones in the pathophysiology of COPD, but little is known about the cellular and molecular changes that occur in cells lining terminal bronchioles in response to CS. We subjected C57BL/6 mice to CS (6 d/wk, up to 6 mo), looked for morphologic changes lining the termin...
متن کاملRespiratory control in neonatal rats exposed to prenatal cigarette smoke.
RATIONALE Prenatal cigarette smoke (CS) exposure, increased environmental temperature, and hypoxic episodes have been postulated as major risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome. OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that maternal CS exposure disrupts eupneic breathing and depresses breathing responses of neonatal rats to thermal and hypoxic challenges. METHODS Experiments were performed ...
