Yu YQ, Zhu T. Concentration-dependent effects of reductive pulmonary inhalants on ultrafine particle-induced oxidative stress: Insights for health risk assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ECOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 19:100339. [PMID: 38107555 PMCID: PMC10724529 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2023.100339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
The impact of reductive pulmonary inhalants on ultrafine particles (UFPs)-induced pulmonary oxidative stress remains a crucial consideration, yet the concentration-dependent effects of these inhalants have remained unexplored. Here we synthesized composite UFPs simulating atmospheric UFPs, primarily composed of metals and quinones. We subjected these UFPs to varying concentrations (0-7000 μM) of two reductive pulmonary inhalants, N-acetylcysteine and salbutamol, to assess their influence on oxidative potential, measured through the dithiothreitol assay (OPDTT). Simultaneously, we analysed the soluble metal content of UFPs to uncover potential relationships between oxidative potential and metal solubility. Our results unveil a dual role played by these inhalants in shaping the OPDTT of composite UFPs. Specifically, OPDTT generally increased as inhalant concentrations rose from 0 to 300 μM. However, an intriguing reversal occurred when concentrations exceeded 500 μM, resulting in a decline in OPDTT. Relative to untreated UFPs, these inhalants induced promotion and inhibition effects within concentration ranges of 100-500 and >1000 μM, respectively. While no significant correlation emerged between OPDTT and soluble metal content as inhalant concentrations ranged from 0 to 7000 μM, noteworthy positive correlations emerged at lower inhalant concentrations (e.g., N-acetylcysteine at 0-300 μM). These findings provide insights into the potential influence of reductive pulmonary inhalants on health risks associated with UFP exposure, further underscoring the need for continued research in this critical area.

Reichb.f. alleviates LPS-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting p47 phox/NOX2 and promoting the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 126:155186. [PMID: 38387272 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The effect fraction of Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Reichb.f. (EFBS), a phenolic-rich extract, has significant protective effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI), but its composition and molecular mechanisms are unclear. This study elucidated its chemical composition and possible protective mechanisms against LPS-induced ALI from an antioxidant perspective. METHODS EFBS was prepared by ethanol extraction, enriched by polyamide column chromatography, and characterized using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The LPS-induced ALI model and the RAW264.7 model were used to evaluate the regulatory effects of EFBS on oxidative stress, and transcriptome analysis was performed to explore its possible molecular mechanism. Then, the pathway by which EFBS regulates oxidative stress was validated through inhibitor intervention, flow cytometry, quantitative PCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence techniques. RESULTS A total of 22 compounds in EFBS were identified. The transcriptome analyses of RAW264.7 cells indicated that EFBS might reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by inhibiting the p47phox/NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) pathway and upregulating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway. Both in vitro and in vivo data confirmed that EFBS significantly inhibited the expression and phosphorylation of p47phox protein, thereby weakening the p47phox/NOX2 pathway and reducing ROS production. EFBS significantly increased the expression of Nrf2 in primary peritoneal macrophages and lung tissue and promoted its nuclear translocation, dose-dependent increase in HO-1 levels, and enhancement of antioxidant activity. In vitro, both Nrf2 and HO-1 inhibitors significantly reduced the scavenging effects of EFBS on ROS, further confirming that EFBS exerts antioxidant effects at least partially by upregulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. CONCLUSIONS EFBS contains abundant phenanthrenes and dibenzyl polyphenols, which can reduce ROS production by inhibiting the p47phox/NOX2 pathway and enhance ROS clearance activity by upregulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, thereby exerting regulatory effects on oxidative stress and improving LPS-induced ALI.

Zhou W, Yuan W, Chen Y, Li C, Hu L, Li Q, Wang J, Xue R, Sun Y, Xia Q, Hu L, Wei Y, He M. Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the pulmonary inflammation induced by inhalation of subway fine particles. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 463:132896. [PMID: 37951166 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/13/2023]
Abstract
People generally take the subway and inevitably inhale the fine particles (PM2.5) on subway platforms. This study revealed whether and how subway PM2.5 causes lung inflammation. Herein, the pulmonary inflammatory response to subway PM2.5 was observed in mice, manifesting as the inflammatory cells infiltration and collagen deposition in tissue, inflammatory cytokine enhancement in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and Toll-like receptors signal pathway activation in the lungs. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing unearthed subway PM2.5-induced cell-specific responses in the lungs. Twenty immune subsets were identified by the molecular and functional properties. Specific cell populations of CD4+ T and γδ T cells were regarded as the predominant sources of pneumonitis induced by subway PM2.5. Moreover, we demonstrated that the lung inflammatory injury was significantly more attenuated in Rag1-/- mice lacking functional T cells and B cells than that in wild type mice. We proved the slight inflammation of lung tissue in Rag1-/- mice may be dependent on monocytes and neutrophils by activation of the intracellular molecular network. This is the first experimental study on subway PM2.5 causing pulmonary inflammatory damage. It will set an alarm for people who usually travel by subway and efficient measures to reduce PM2.5 should be developed in subway stations.

Abstract
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a primary air pollutant recognized worldwide as a serious threat to public health. PM2.5, which has a diameter of less than 2.5 μm, is known to cause various diseases, including cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, and neurological diseases. Studies have shown that the respiratory system is particularly susceptible to PM2.5 as it is the first line of defense against external pollutants. PM2.5 can cause oxidative stress, which is triggered by the catalyzation of biochemical reactions, the activation of oxidases and metabolic enzymes, and mitochondrial dysfunction, all of which can lead to lung injury and aggravate various respiratory diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and cancer. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the harmful effects and mechanisms of PM2.5 on the respiratory system by activating several detrimental pathways related to inflammation and cellular damage. However, experimental studies have shown that antioxidative therapy methods can effectively cure PM2.5-induced lung injury. This review aims to clarify how PM2.5 induces oxidative stress and the mechanisms by which it is involved in the aggravation of various lung diseases. Additionally, we have listed antioxidant treatments to protect against PM2.5-induced lung injury.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum Linné (TFG) has traditionally been used in Central Asia to relieve inflammation. AIM OF THE STUDY This study investigated the efficacy of TFG in a bronchial cell model and an animal model of asthma exacerbation caused by PM. METHODS BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells were simultaneously treated with tumor necrosis factor-α/interleukin (IL)-4 and PM, and the expression of inflammatory cytokines, DNA damage, and autophagy mechanisms were analyzed. In an animal model of asthma exacerbation, we analyzed changes in organ weight, distribution of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and intra-tissue mucus production. RESULTS In the cell model, TFG suppressed the expression of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and IL-8; reactive oxygen species levels and DNA damage; and the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, P38, AKT, and mTOR. In the animal model, TFG significantly reduced weight gain of the liver, lung, and spleen; IgE, IL-6, and IFN-γ levels; and bronchial mucus secretion and smooth muscle thickness. CONCLUSION TFG alleviated the PM-exacerbated inflammatory response by inhibiting the MAPK and autophagy signaling pathways; it is expected to be an effective treatment for asthma.

Abstract
Chronic stress can induce lung injury. The spleen, as the largest peripheral immune organ, plays a crucial role in various lung diseases. Our previous study found that the spleen underwent significant changes during chronic restraint stress (CRS). However, the exact role of the spleen in CRS-induced lung injury remains unclear. In this study, we found that CRS could increase lung index. CRS could lead to alterations of the lungs such as destruction of alveolar wall, thickening of alveolar septa, dilation of pulmonary capillaries, and increased inflammatory cell infiltration. CRS increases the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), decreases the level of surfactant protein A (SP-A), and elevates the levels of pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) in the lungs. Additionally, CRS could increase the proportions and numbers of CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G- monocytes in the lung, while cannot alter proportions and numbers of CD3-NK1.1+ NK cells, CD3+CD4+ T cells, CD3+CD8+ T cells, and CD11b+Ly6G+ neutrophils. Moreover, the levels of inflammatory markers in lung tissues were positively correlated with the proportion of CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G- monocytes. Interestingly, splenectomy inhibited CRS-induced lung injury and attenuated the alteration in the proportion of CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G- monocytes in the lungs induced by CRS. Moreover, splenic CD11b+ cells, rather than splenic CD11b- cells, transfused into splenectomized mice, and subsequently exposed to CRS, can cause lung injury. These results suggest that CRS could induce lung injury and CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6G- monocytes aggregation in the lung. The spleen could contribute to CRS-induced lung injury. Furthermore, splenic CD11b+ cells might play an important role in CRS-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) exposure disrupts the skin barrier, causing cutaneous inflammation that may eventually contribute to the development of various skin diseases. Herein, we introduce anti-inflammatory artificial extracellular vesicles (AEVs) fabricated through cell extrusion using the biosurfactant PEGylated mannosylerythritol lipid (P-MEL), hereafter named AEVP-MEL. The P-MEL has anti-inflammatory abilities with demonstrated efficacy in inhibiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators. Mechanistically, AEVP-MEL enhanced anti-inflammatory response by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and decreasing the release of inflammatory mediators such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and pro-inflammatory cytokines in human keratinocytes. Moreover, AEVP-MEL promoted increased expression levels of skin barrier proteins (e.g., involucrin, IVL) and water-proteins (e.g., aquaporin 3, AQP3). In vivo studies revealed that repeated PM exposure to intact skin resulted in cutaneous inflammatory responses, including increased skin thickness (hyperkeratosis) and mast cell infiltration. Importantly, our data showed that the AEVP-MEL treatment significantly restored immune homeostasis in the skin affected by PM-induced inflammation and enhanced the intrinsic skin barrier function. This study highlights the potential of the AEVP-MEL in promoting skin health against PM exposure and its promising implications for the prevention and treatment of PM-related skin disorders.

Abstract
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has attracted increasing attention due to its health-threatening effects. Although numerous studies have investigated the impact of PM2.5 on lung injuries, the specific mechanisms underlying the damage to the air-blood barrier after exposure to PM2.5 remain unclear. In this study, we established an in vitro co-culture system using lung epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells. Our findings indicated that the tight junction (TJ) proteins were up-regulated in the co-cultured system compared to the monolayer-cultured cells, suggesting the establishment of a more closely connected in vitro system. Following exposure to PM2.5, we observed damage to the air-blood barrier in vitro. Concurrently, PM2.5 exposure induced significant oxidative stress and activated the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis pathway. When oxidative stress was inhibited, we observed a decrease in pyroptosis and an increase in TJ protein levels. Additionally, disulfiram reversed the adverse effects of PM2.5, effectively suppressing pyroptosis and ameliorating air-blood barrier dysfunction. Our results indicate that the oxidative stress-pyroptosis pathway plays a critical role in the disruption of the air-blood barrier induced by PM2.5 exposure. Disulfiram may represent a promising therapeutic option for mitigating PM2.5-related lung damage.

Abstract
Exposure to fine atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is known to induce lung inflammation and injury; however, the way in which sophisticated endogenous lung repair and regenerative programs respond to this exposure remains unknown. In this study, we established a whole-body mouse exposure model to mimic real scenarios. Exposure to fine PM (PM with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 µm [PM2.5]; mean 1.05 mg/m3) for 1-month elicited inflammatory infiltration and epithelial alterations in the lung, which were resolved 6 months after cessation of exposure. Immune cells that responded to PM2.5 exposure mainly included macrophages and neutrophils. During PM2.5 exposure, alveolar epithelial type 2 cells initiated rapid repair of alveolar epithelial mucosa through proliferation. However, the reparative capacity of airway progenitor cells (club cells) was impaired, which may have been related to the oxidative production of neutrophils or macrophages, as suggested in organoid co-cultures. These data suggested that the pulmonary toxic effects of short-term exposure to fine atmospheric PM at a certain dosage could be overcome through tissue reparative mechanisms.

Abstract
Recent evidence has demonstrated that both acute and chronic exposure to particulate air pollution are risk factors for respiratory tract infections and increased mortality from sepsis. There is therefore an urgent need to establish the impact of ambient particulate matter (PM) on innate immune cells and to establish potential strategies to mitigate against adverse effects. PM has previously been reported to have potential adverse effects on neutrophil function. In the present study, we investigated the impact of standard urban PM (SRM1648a, NIST) and PM2.5 collected from Chiang Mai, Thailand, on human peripheral blood neutrophil functions, including LPS-induced migration, IL-8 production, and bacterial killing. Both NIST and the PM2.5, being collected in Chiang Mai, Thailand, increased IL-8 production, but reduced CXCR2 expression and migration of human primary neutrophils stimulated with Escherichia coli LPS. Moreover, PM-pretreated neutrophils from vitamin D-insufficient participants showed reduced E. coli-killing activity. Furthermore, in vitro vitamin D3 supplementation attenuated IL-8 production and improved bacterial killing by cells from vitamin D-insufficient participants. Our findings suggest that provision of vitamin D to individuals with insufficiency may attenuate adverse acute neutrophilic responses to ambient PM.

Glycyrrhizin protects against particulate matter-induced lung injury via regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis through Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 120:110371. [PMID: 37245303 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) is a major environmental pollutant that contributes considerably to deaths worldwide. The pathogenesis of PM-induced lung injury (PILI) is far from elucidated and warrants effective intervention. An effective component of licorice, glycyrrhizin (GL), has been the subject of much research due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative capabilities. Although preventive properties of GL are well-known, the precise mechanism of GL in PILI has not yet been investigated. A mouse model of PILI was used to examine the protective effects of GL in vivo, and a human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) model was used in vitro. In order to determine whether GL mitigates PILI, its effects on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis and the oxidative response were examined. According to the findings, GL reduced PILI and activate anti-oxidative Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling in mice. Notably, the effect of GL on PM-induced ER stress and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis was significantly attenuated by the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. The data suggest that via the anti-oxidative Nrf2 signaling, GL may reduce oxidative stress-mediated ER stress and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. Therefore, GL may serve as a promising treatment for PILI.

Activation of angiotensin II type 2 receptor attenuates lung injury of collagen-induced arthritis by alleviating endothelial cell injury and promoting Ly6C lo monocyte transition. Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 941:175466. [PMID: 36528072 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2022.175466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
As one of the most frequent extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), interstitial lung disease (ILD) is still challenging due to unrevealed pathophysiological mechanism. To address this question, in the present study, we used the classical collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model to determine the related-immune mechanism of lung injury and possible pharmacological treatment for RA-ILD. At the peak of arthritis, we found CIA mice developed apparent lung injury, characterized by interstitial thickening, inflammatory cell infiltration, and lymphocyte follicle formation. Additionally, the endothelial injury occurred as the number of endothelial cells (ECs) and their CD31 expression decreased. Along with those, monocytes, predominantly Ly6Chi monocytes with pro-inflammatory phenotype, were also increased. While in the remission period of arthritis, ECs gradually increased with retrieved CD31 expression, leading to decreased infiltrating monocytes, but boosted Ly6Clo population. Ly6Clo monocytes were prone to locate around damaged ECs, promoted ECs proliferation and vascular tube formation, and lessened the expression of adhesion molecules. In addition, we evaluated angiotensin II type 2 receptor (Agtr2), which has been demonstrated to be protective against lung injury, could be beneficial in RA-ILD. We found elevated Agtr2 in CIA lung tissue, and activation of Agtr2, within its specific agonist C21, alleviated the pulmonary inflammation in vivo, reduced ECs injury, and promoted monocytes conversion from Ly6Chi to Ly6Clo monocytes in vitro. Our data reveal a potential pathological mechanism of RA-ILD that involves ECs damage and inflammatory monocytes infiltration and provide a potential drug target, Agtr2, for RA-ILD treatment.

Associations of personal exposure to domestic heating and cooking fuel emissions and epidemiological effects on rural residents in the Fenwei Plain, China.

Abstract
Solid fuel combustion for domestic heating in northern China in the wintertime is of great environmental and health concern. This study assesses personal exposure to particulate matter with different aerodynamic diameters and multiple gaseous pollutants from 123 rural residents in Yuncheng, the Fenwei Plain. The subjects are divided into groups based on the unique energy source applied, including biomass, coal, and electricity/no heating activities. The health effects of the exposures are expressed with four urinary biomarkers. The personal exposure levels to three different aerodynamic particle sizes (i.e., PM10, PM2.5, and PM1) of the electricity/no heating group are 5.1 % -12 % lower than those of the coal group. In addition, the exposure levels are 25 %-40 % lower for carbon monoxide (CO) and 10.8 %-20.3 % lower for ozone (O3) in the electricity/no heating group than the other two fuel groups. C-reactive protein (CRP) in the urine of the participants in biomass and coal groups is significantly higher than that in the electricity/no heating group, consistent with the observations on other biomarkers. Increases in 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are observed for the exposures to higher concentrations of air pollutants. For instance, PMs and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) show significant impacts on positive correlations with 8-OHdG and IL-8, while O3 positively correlates with CRP. PM1 exhibits higher effects on the biomarkers than the gaseous pollutants, especially on VEGF and IL-8. The study indicates that excessive use of traditional domestic solid fuels could pose severe health effects on rural residents. The promotion of using clean energy is urgently needed in the rural areas of northern China.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a heterogeneous disease, is the leading cause of death worldwide. In recent years, air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), has been widely studied as a contributing factor to COPD. As an essential component of PM, PM2.5 is associated with COPD prevalence, morbidity, and acute exacerbations. However, the specific pathogenic mechanisms were still unclear and deserve further research. The diversity and complexity of PM2.5 components make it challenging to get its accurate effects and mechanisms for COPD. It has been determined that the most toxic PM2.5 components are metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carbonaceous particles (CPs), and other organic compounds. PM2.5-induced cytokine release and oxidative stress are the main mechanisms reported leading to COPD. Nonnegligibly, the microorganism in PM 2.5 may directly cause mononuclear inflammation or break the microorganism balance contributing to the development and exacerbation of COPD. This review focuses on the pathophysiology and consequences of PM2.5 and its components on COPD.

DEPs Induce Local Ige Class Switching Independent of Their Ability to Stimulate iBALT de Novo Formation. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:13063.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are leading to a general increase in atopic diseases worldwide. However, it is still unknown whether DEPs induce systemic B-cell IgE class switching in secondary lymphoid organs or locally in the lungs in inducible bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (iBALT). The aim of this work was to identify the exact site of DEP-mediated B-cell IgE class switching and pro-allergic antibody production. METHODS We immunized BALB/c mice with different OVA doses (0.3 and 30 µg) intranasally in the presence and absence of two types of DEPs, SRM1650B and SRM2786. We used low (30 µg) and high (150 µg) DEP doses. RESULTS Only a high DEP dose induced IgE production, regardless of the particle type. Local IgE class switching was stimulated upon treatment with both types of particles with both low and high OVA doses. Despite the similar ability of the two standard DEPs to stimulate IgE production, their ability to induce iBALT formation and growth was markedly different upon co-administration with low OVA doses. CONCLUSIONS DEP-induced local IgE class switching takes place in preexisting iBALTs independent of de novo iBALT formation, at least in the case of SRM1650B co-administered with low OVA doses.
