Heated tobacco products (HTP) are novel nicotine delivery products with limited toxicological data. HTP uses heating instead of combustion to generate aerosol (HTP-smoke). Physiologically relevant human bronchial and alveolar lung mucosa models developed at air-liquid interface were exposed to HTP-smoke to assess broad toxicological response (n = 6-7; ISO puffing regimen; compared to sham; non-parametric statistical analysis; significance: p < 0.05). Elevated levels of total cellular reactive oxygen species, stress responsive nuclear factor kappa-B, and DNA damage markers [8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, phosphorylated histone H2AX, cleaved poly-(ADP-Ribose) polymerase] were detected in HTP-smoke exposed bronchial and/or alveolar models. RNA sequencing detected differential regulation of 724 genes in the bronchial- and 121 genes in the alveolar model following HTP-smoke exposure (cut off: p ≤ 0.01; fold change: ≥ 2). Common enriched pathways included estrogen biosynthesis, ferroptosis, superoxide radical degradation, xenobiotics, and α-tocopherol degradation. Secreted levels of interleukin (IL)1ꞵ and IL8 increased in the bronchial model whereas in the alveolar model, interferon-γ and IL4 increased and IL13 decreased following HTP-smoke exposure. Increased lipid peroxidation was detected in HTP-smoke exposed bronchial and alveolar models which was inhibited by ferrostatin-1. The findings form a basis to perform independent risk assessment studies on different flavours of HTP using different puffing topography and corresponding chemical characterization.
加热烟草制品(HTP)是新型尼古丁递送产品,其毒理学数据有限。HTP利用加热而非燃烧来产生气溶胶(HTP烟雾)。将在气液界面构建的具有生理相关性的人支气管和肺泡肺黏膜模型暴露于HTP烟雾中,以评估广泛的毒理学反应(n = 6 - 7;国际标准化组织抽吸方案;与假处理组比较;非参数统计分析;显著性:p < 0.05)。在暴露于HTP烟雾的支气管和/或肺泡模型中,检测到总细胞活性氧、应激反应性核因子κB以及DNA损伤标志物[8 - 羟基 - 2'-脱氧鸟苷、磷酸化组蛋白H2AX、裂解的聚(ADP - 核糖)聚合酶]水平升高。RNA测序检测到HTP烟雾暴露后,支气管模型中有724个基因以及肺泡模型中有121个基因存在差异调控(截断值:p≤0.01;倍数变化:≥2)。常见的富集途径包括雌激素生物合成、铁死亡、超氧自由基降解、外源性物质以及α - 生育酚降解。支气管模型中白细胞介素(IL)1β和IL8的分泌水平升高,而在肺泡模型中,HTP烟雾暴露后干扰素 - γ和IL4升高,IL13降低。在暴露于HTP烟雾的支气管和肺泡模型中检测到脂质过氧化增加,而铁抑素 - 1可抑制这种增加。这些发现为使用不同抽吸模式和相应化学特征对不同口味的HTP进行独立风险评估研究奠定了基础。
