Description

<p> Cigarette smoking is known to increase the risk of cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we evaluated the effects of short-term nose-only inhalation exposure to cigarette smoke in mice. Male 10-week-old C57BL mice were exposed to clean air (control) or mainstream cigarette smoke for 1 h/day, 5 days/week, for 2 or 4 weeks. Exposure to cigarette smoke increased the number of inflammatory cells, especially neutrophils, in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, increased inflammatory cell infiltration foci, and caused an increase in the thickness of the peripheral bronchial epithelium. Microarray gene expression analysis indicated that smoke exposure induced inflammatory responses, including leukocyte migration and activation of phagocytes and myeloid cells, as early as two weeks after the initiation of exposure. Importantly, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 17, resistin-like alpha, and lipocalin 2 were upregulated and may serve as useful markers of the toxic effects of exposure to cigarette smoke before pulmonary histological changes become evident.</p>
