Impairment of mitochondrial function by particulate matter (PM) and their toxic components: implications for PM-induced cardiovascular and lung disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasing evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress are involved in PM-mediated lung and cardiovascular injury. The physical characteristics and the chemical composition of particulate matter (PM) play a key role in ROS generation in vitro and in vivo. The mitochondria are major subcellular targets for PM as well as a source of ROS production. ROS production is due to interference in mitochondrial electron transfer and PT pore opening by pro-oxidative PM components. Another possible mechanism is direct physical targeting by ambient ultrafine particles that lodge in and destroy mitochondrial structure. An understanding of the mitochondrial effects of PM is key in understanding the mechanisms of PM-induced adverse health effects.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been linked to particulate matter (PM) exposure. Using transcriptomic analysis, we demonstrate that diesel exhaust particles, one of the major sources of particulate emission, down-regulated genes located in mitochondrial complexes I and V and induced experimental COPD in a mouse model. 1-Nitropyrene was identified as a major toxic component of P...

One of the air pollutant indices includes particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 μg/m3 (PM10). Particulate matter has extensive effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Dissemination of such particles for a longer period can lead to increased mortality and hospitalization. In this study, the data of PM10 pollutant wer...

Throughout the United States, air pollution correlates with adverse health outcomes, and cardiovascular disease incidence is commonly increased following environmental exposure. In areas surrounding active mountaintop removal mines (MTM), a further increase in cardiovascular morbidity is observed and may be attributed in part to particulate matter (PM) released from the mine. The mitochondrion ...
