With the development of nanotechnologies, the potential adverse effects of nanomaterials such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the respiratory tract of asthmatics are questioned. Furthermore, investigations are necessary to understand how these effects might arise. In the present study, we hypothesized that epithelium-derived innate cytokines that are considered as important promoting factors in allergy may contribute to an aggravating effect of MWCNT on asthma. We investigated in the mouse the effect of MWCNT on systemic immune response and airway inflammation and remodeling induced by the most frequent allergen so far associated with asthma, house dust mite (HDM), and we examined the production of the innate cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-25, IL-33, and GM-CSF. Mice exposed to HDM exhibited specific IgG1 in serum and inflammatory cell infiltration, and increased Th2 cytokine production, mucus hyperproduction, and collagen deposition in the airways when compared to naïve animals. Levels of total IgG1 and HDM-specific IgG1, influx of macrophages, eosinophils and neutrophils, production of collagen, TGF-β1, and mucus, as well as levels of IL-13, eotaxin, and TARC, were dose-dependently increased in mice exposed to HDM and MWCNT compared to HDM alone. These effects were associated with an increased production of TSLP, IL-25, IL-33, and GM-CSF in the airways. Our data demonstrate that MWCNT increase in a dose-dependent manner systemic immune response, as well as airway allergic inflammation and remodeling induced by HDM in the mouse. Our data suggest also a role for airway epithelium and innate cytokines in these effects.
随着纳米技术的发展,多壁碳纳米管(MWCNT)等纳米材料对哮喘患者呼吸道的潜在不良影响受到质疑。此外,有必要进行研究以了解这些影响可能是如何产生的。在本研究中,我们假设作为过敏重要促进因素的上皮衍生固有细胞因子可能有助于 MWCNT 对哮喘的加重作用。我们在小鼠中研究了 MWCNT 对迄今为止与哮喘最相关的常见过敏原——屋尘螨(HDM)引起的全身免疫反应和气道炎症及重塑的影响,并检查了固有细胞因子胸腺基质淋巴细胞生成素(TSLP)、IL-25、IL-33 和 GM-CSF 的产生。与未接触过的动物相比,暴露于 HDM 的小鼠表现出血清中特异性 IgG1 和炎症细胞浸润,并增加了 Th2 细胞因子的产生、气道中黏液过度产生和胶原沉积。与仅暴露于 HDM 的小鼠相比,暴露于 HDM 和 MWCNT 的小鼠的总 IgG1 和 HDM 特异性 IgG1 水平、巨噬细胞、嗜酸性粒细胞和嗜中性粒细胞的流入、胶原、TGF-β1 和黏液的产生以及 IL-13、嗜酸性粒细胞趋化因子和 TARC 的水平均呈剂量依赖性增加。这些效应与气道中 TSLP、IL-25、IL-33 和 GM-CSF 的产生增加有关。我们的数据表明,MWCNT 以剂量依赖性方式增加了由 HDM 在小鼠中引起的全身免疫反应以及气道过敏性炎症和重塑。我们的数据还表明,气道上皮和固有细胞因子在这些效应中起作用。
