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).
BECs from COPD patients and controls were exposed to e-cig vapor extract (ECVE) and the levels of interleukin (IL)-6, C-X-C motif ligand 8 (CXCL8), and lactate dehydrogenase release were measured. We also examined the effect of ECVE pretreatment on polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C)-stimulated cytokine release from BECs. Parallel experiments using Calu-3 cells were performed. Comparisons were made with cigarette smoke extract (CSE).
ECVE and CSE caused an increase in the release of IL-6 and CXCL8 from Calu-3 cells. ECVE only caused toxicity in BECs and Calu-3 cells. Furthermore, ECVE and CSE dampened poly I:C-stimulated C-X-C motif ligand 10 release from both cell culture models, reaching statistical significance for CSE at an optical density of 0.3.
ECVE caused toxicity and reduced the antiviral response to poly I:C. This raises concerns over the safety of e-cig use.
电子烟用于帮助戒烟。然而,这些装置含有有害化学物质,存在安全问题。我们研究了电子烟对慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)支气管上皮细胞(BECs)炎症反应和活力的影响。
将COPD患者和对照者的BECs暴露于电子烟蒸汽提取物(ECVE),测量白细胞介素(IL)-6、C-X-C基序配体8(CXCL8)水平以及乳酸脱氢酶释放量。我们还检测了ECVE预处理对聚肌苷酸:聚胞苷酸(poly I:C)刺激的BECs细胞因子释放的影响。使用Calu-3细胞进行了平行实验。与香烟烟雾提取物(CSE)进行了比较。
ECVE和CSE导致Calu-3细胞中IL-6和CXCL8释放增加。ECVE仅对BECs和Calu-3细胞产生毒性。此外,ECVE和CSE均抑制了两种细胞培养模型中poly I:C刺激的C-X-C基序配体10释放,在光密度为0.3时,CSE达到统计学显著性。
ECVE导致毒性并降低了对poly I:C的抗病毒反应。这引发了对使用电子烟安全性的担忧。
