Abstract
Introduction B cells, which have long been thought to be minor players in the development of anti-tumor responses, have been implicated as key players in lung cancer pathogenesis and response to checkpoint blockade in patients with lung cancer. Enrichment of late-stage plasma and memory cells in the tumor microenvironment has been shown in lung cancer, with the plasma cell repertoire existing on a functional spectrum with suppressive phenotypes correlating with outcome. B cell dynamics may be influenced by the inflammatory microenvironment observed in smokers and between LUAD and LUSC. Methods Here, we show through high-dimensional deep phenotyping using mass cytometry (CyTOF), next generation RNA sequencing and multispectral immunofluorescence imaging (VECTRA Polaris) that key differences exist in the B cell repertoire between tumor and circulation in paired specimens from lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Results In addition to the current literature, this study provides insight into the in-depth description of the B cell contexture in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with reference to broad clinico-pathological parameters based on our analysis of 56 patients. Our findings reinforce the phenomenon of B-cell trafficking from distant circulatory compartments into the tumour microenvironment (TME). The circulatory repertoire shows a predilection toward plasma and memory phenotypes in LUAD however no major differences exist between LUAD and LUSC at the level of the TME. B cell repertoire, amongst other factors, may be influenced by the inflammatory burden in the TME and circulation, that is, smokers and non-smokers. We have further clearly demonstrated that the plasma cell repertoire exists on a functional spectrum in lung cancer, and that the suppressive regulatory arm of this axis may play a significant role in determining postoperative outcomes as well as following checkpoint blockade. This will require further long-term functional correlation. Conclusion B and Plasma cell repertoire is very diverse and heterogeneous across different tissue compartments in lung cancer. Smoking status associates with key differences in the immune milieu and the consequent inflammatory microenvironment is likely responsible for the functional and phenotypic spectrum we have seen in the plasma cell and B cell repertoire in this condition.

Role of Long Noncoding RNAs in Smoking-Induced Lung Cancer: An In Silico Study. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:7169353. [PMID: 35529255 PMCID: PMC9070410 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7169353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The prevalence of lung cancer induced by cigarette smoking has increased over time. Long noncoding (lnc) RNAs, regulatory factors that play a role in human diseases, are commonly dysregulated in lung cancer. Cigarette smoking is closely related to changes in lncRNA expression, which can affect lung cancer. Herein, we assess the mechanism of lung cancer initiation induced by smoking. To calculate the impact of smoking on the survival of patients with lung cancer, we extracted data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus databases and identified the differentially expressed genes in the lung cancer tissue compared to the normal lung tissue. Genes positively and negatively associated with smoking were identified. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Cytoscape analyses were performed to determine the function of the genes and the effects of smoking on the immune microenvironment. lncRNAs corresponding to smoking-associated genes were identified, and a smoking-related lncRNA model was constructed using univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. This model was used to assess the survival of and potential risk in patients who smoked. During screening, 562 differentially expressed genes were identified, and we elucidated that smoking affected the survival of patients 4.5 years after the diagnosis of lung cancer. Furthermore, genes negatively associated with smoking were closely associated with immunity. Twelve immune cell types were also found to infiltrate differentially in smokers and nonsmokers. Thus, the smoking-associated lncRNA model is a good predictor of survival and risk in smokers and may be used as an independent prognostic factor for lung cancer.

Abstract
The lung is one of the most important organs exposed to environmental agents. People spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, and risks to health may thus be greater from exposure to poor air quality indoors than outdoors. Multiple indoor pollutants have been linked to chronic respiratory diseases. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is known as an important source of multiple pollutants, especially in indoor environments. Indoor PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm) was reported to be the most reliable marker of the presence of tobacco smoke. Recent studies have demonstrated that PM2.5 is closely correlated with chronic lung diseases. In this paper, we reviewed the relationship of tobacco smoking and indoor PM2.5 and the mechanism that underpin the link of tobacco smoke, indoor PM2.5 and chronic lung diseases.

Abstract
Although cigarette smoke is known to alter immune responses, whether and how CD4 T cells are affected is not well-described. We aimed to characterize how exposure to cigarette smoke extract impacts CD4 T cell effector generation in vitro under Th1-polarizing conditions. Our results demonstrate that cigarette smoke directly acts on CD4 T cells to impair effector expansion by decreasing division and increasing apoptosis. Furthermore, cigarette smoke enhances Th1-associated cytokine production and increases expression of the transcription factor T-bet, the master regulator of Th1 differentiation. Finally, we show that exposure to cigarette smoke extract during priming impairs the ability of effectors to form memory cells. Our findings thus demonstrate that cigarette smoke simultaneously enhances effector functions but promotes terminal differentiation of CD4 T cell effectors. This study may be relevant to understanding how smoking can both aggravate autoimmune symptoms and reduce vaccine efficacy.

Abstract
Many studies have linked cigarette smoke (CS) exposure and tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease although much fewer have studied second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure. Our goal is to review the epidemiologic link between SHS and TB as well as to summarize the effects SHS and direct CS on various immune cells relevant for TB. PubMed searches were performed using the key words "tuberculosis" with "cigarette," "tobacco," or "second-hand smoke." The bibliography of relevant papers were examined for additional relevant publications. Relatively few studies associate SHS exposure with TB infection and active disease. Both SHS and direct CS can alter various components of host immunity resulting in increased vulnerability to TB. While the epidemiologic link of these 2 health maladies is robust, more definitive, mechanistic studies are required to prove that SHS and direct CS actually cause increased susceptibility to TB.

Abstract
Many studies have been undertaken to reveal how tobacco smoke skews immune responses contributing to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other lung diseases. Recently, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been linked with asthma and allergic diseases in children. This review presents the most actual knowledge on exact molecular mechanisms responsible for the skewed inflammatory profile that aggravates inflammation, promotes infections, induces tissue damage, and may promote the development of allergy in individuals exposed to ETS. We demonstrate how the imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants resulting from exposure to tobacco smoke leads to oxidative stress, increased mucosal inflammation, and increased expression of inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α ([TNF]-α). Direct cellular effects of ETS on epithelial cells results in increased permeability, mucus overproduction, impaired mucociliary clearance, increased release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, enhanced recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils and disturbed lymphocyte balance towards Th2. The plethora of presented phenomena fully justifies a restrictive policy aiming at limiting the domestic and public exposure to ETS.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common preventable and treatable disease, characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases. The major risk factor of COPD, which has been proven in many studies, is the exposure to cigarette smoke. However, it is 15-20% of all smokers who develop COPD. This is why we should recognize the pathobiology of COPD as involving a complex interaction between several factors, including genetic vulnerability. Oxidant-antioxidant imbalance is recognized as one of the significant factors in COPD pathogenesis. Numerous exogenous and endogenous sources of ROS are present in pathobiology of COPD. One of endogenous sources of ROS is mitochondria. Although leakage of electrons from electron transport chain and forming of ROS are the effect of physiological functioning of mitochondria, there are various intra- and extracellular factors which may increase this amount and significantly contribute to oxidative-antioxidative imbalance. With the coexistence with impaired antioxidant defence, all these issues lead to oxidative and carbonyl stress. Both of these states play a significant role in pathobiology of COPD and may account for development of major comorbidities of this disease.

Abstract
For many years has been well known that smoking could cause lung damage. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer have been the two most common smoking-related lung diseases. In the recent years, attention has also focused on the role of smoking in the development of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Indeed, there are three diseases, namely respiratory bronchiolitis-associated ILD, desquamative interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, that are currently considered aetiologically linked to smoking and a few others which are more likely to develop in smokers. Here, we aim to focus on the most recent findings regarding the role of smoking in the pathogenesis and clinical behaviour of ILDs. Smoking is implicated in the pathogenesis and clinical behaviour of interstitial lung diseasehttp://ow.ly/PYLcT

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease common in elderly people, characterized by progressive destruction of lung parenchyma and chronic inflammation of the airways. The pathogenesis of COPD remains unclear, but recent studies suggest that oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in alveolar cells contributes to emphysematous lung destruction. The proteasome is a multicatalytic enzyme complex that plays a critical role in proteostasis by rapidly destroying misfolded and modified proteins generated by oxidative and other stresses. Proteasome activity decreases with aging in many organs including lungs, and an age-related decline in proteasomal function has been implicated in various age-related pathologies. However, the role of the proteasome system in the pathogenesis of COPD has not been investigated. Recently, we have established a transgenic (Tg) mouse model with decreased proteasomal chymotrypsin-like activity, showing age-related phenotypes. Using this model, we demonstrate here that decreased proteasomal function accelerates cigarette smoke (CS)-induced pulmonary emphysema. CS-exposed Tg mice showed remarkable airspace enlargement and increased foci of inflammation compared with wild-type controls. Importantly, apoptotic cells were found in the alveolar walls of the affected lungs. Impaired proteasomal activity also enhanced apoptosis in cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-exposed fibroblastic cells derived from mice and humans in vitro. Notably, aggresome formation and prominent nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor were observed in CSE-exposed fibroblastic cells isolated from Tg mice. Collective evidence suggests that CS exposure and impaired proteasomal activity coordinately enhance apoptotic cell death in the alveolar walls that may be involved in the development and progression of emphysema in susceptible individuals such as the elderly.

Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the foremost causes of death worldwide. It is primarily caused by tobacco smoke, making it an easily preventable disease, but facilitated by genetic α-1 antitrypsin deficiency. In addition to active smokers, health problems also occur in people involuntarily exposed to second hand smoke (SHS). Currently, the relationship between SHS and COPD is not well established. Knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms is limited, thereby halting the advancement of new treatments for this socially and economically detrimental disease. Here, we attempt to summarize tobacco smoke studies undertaken in animal models, applying both mainstream (direct, nose only) and side stream (indirect, whole body) smoke exposures. This overview of 155 studies compares cellular and molecular mechanisms as well as proteolytic, inflammatory, and vasoreactive responses underlying COPD development. This is a difficult task, as listing of exposure parameters is limited for most experiments. We show that both mainstream and SHS studies largely present similar inflammatory cell populations dominated by macrophages as well as elevated chemokine/cytokine levels, such as TNF-α. Additionally, SHS, like mainstream smoke, has been shown to cause vascular remodeling and neutrophil elastase-mediated proteolytic matrix breakdown with failure to repair. Disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions appear to coincide in both exposure scenarios. One of the more widely applied interventions, the anti-oxidant therapy, is successful for both mainstream and SHS. The comparison of direct with indirect smoke exposure studies in this review emphasizes that, even though there are many overlapping pathways, it is not conclusive that SHS is using exactly the same mechanisms as direct smoke in COPD pathogenesis, but should be considered a preventable health risk. Some characteristics and therapeutic alternatives uniquely exist in SHS-related COPD.

Abstract
Mechanism underlying smoke-induced loss of bone mass is unknown. In this study, we hypothesized that protein signals induced by smoking in bone marrow may be associated with the loss of bone mass. Using a proteomics approach, we identified 38 proteins differentially expressed in bone marrow cells from low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (Lrp5) mice exposed to cigarette smoking. Smoking effects on protein expression in bone marrow among three genotypes (Lrp5(+/+), Lrp5(G171V), and Lrp5(-/-)) varied. On the basis of the ratio of protein expression induced by smoking versus nonsmoking, smoke induced protein expression significantly in wild-type mice compared to the other two genotypes (Lrp5(G171V) and Lrp5(-/-)). These proteins include inhibitors of β-catenin and proteins associated with differentiation of osteoclasts. We observed that S100A8 and S100A9 were overexpressed in human smokers compared to nonsmokers, which confirmed the effect of smoking on the expression of two proteins in Lrp5 mice, suggesting the role of these proteins in bone remodeling. Smoke induced expression of S100A8 and S100A9 in a time-dependent fashion, which was opposite of the changes in the ratio of OPG/RANKL in bone marrow cells, suggesting that the high levels of S100A8 and S100A9 may be associated with smoke-induced bone loss by increasing bone resorption.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease of unknown etiology with considerable morbidity and mortality. Cigarette smoking is one of the most recognized risk factors for development of IPF. Furthermore, recent work suggests that smoking may have a detrimental effect on survival of patients with IPF. The mechanism by which smoking may contribute to the pathogenesis of IPF is largely unknown. However, accumulating evidence suggests that increased oxidative stress might promote disease progression in IPF patients who are current and former smokers. In this review, potential mechanisms by which cigarette smoking affects IPF, the effects of cigarette smoking on accelerated loss of lung function in patients with IPF, key genetic studies evaluating the potential candidate genes and gene-environment (smoking) interaction, diagnosis, and treatment with emphasis on recently closed and ongoing clinical trials are presented.

Abstract
The magnitude of Th1 cells response to vaccination is a critical factor in determining protection from clinical disease. Our previous in vitro studies suggested that exposure to the nicotine component of cigarette smoke skews the differentiation of both human and mouse dendritic cell (DC) precursors into atypical DCs (DCs differentiated ex vivo in the presence of nicotine) lacking parameters essential for the development of Th1-mediated immunity. In this study, we determined the causal relationship between nicotine-induced DC alterations and host response to vaccines. We show that animals exposed to nicotine failed to develop and maintain Ag-specific effector memory Th1 cells and Ab production to protein-based vaccine formulated with Th1 adjuvants. Accordingly, both prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines failed to protect and cure the nicotine-exposed mice from disease. More importantly, we demonstrate the nicotine-induced defects in the biological activities of in vivo DCs as an underlying mechanism. Indeed, i.v. administration of DCs differentiated in the presence of nicotine preferentially promoted the development of Ag-specific IL-4-producing effector cells in the challenged mice. In addition, DC subsets isolated from mice exposed to nicotine produced significantly less cytokines in response to Th1 adjuvants and inadequately supported the development of Ag-specific Th1 cells. Collectively, our studies suggest that nicotine-induced defects in the DC system compromises vaccine efficacy in smokers.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke is the primary risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Alterations in the balance between apoptosis and proliferation are involved in the etiology of COPD. Fibroblasts and epithelial cells are sensitive to the oxidative properties of cigarette smoke, and whose loss may precipitate the development of COPD. Fibroblasts express the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor that attenuates pulmonary inflammation and may also regulate apoptosis. We hypothesized the AhR would prevent apoptosis caused by cigarette smoke. Using genetically deleted in vitro AhR expression models and an established method of cigarette smoke exposure, we report that AhR expression regulates fibroblasts proliferation and prevents morphological features of apoptosis, including membrane blebbing and chromatin condensation caused by cigarette smoke extract (CSE). Absence of AhR expression results in cleavage of PARP, lamin, and caspase-3. Mitochondrial dysfunction, including cytochrome c release, was associated with loss of AhR expression, indicating activation of the intrinsic apoptotic cascade. Heightened sensitivity of AhR-deficient fibroblasts was not the result of alterations in GSH, Nrf2, or HO-1 expression. Instead, AhR(-/-) cells had significantly less MnSOD and CuZn-SOD expression, enzymes that protects against oxidative stress. The ability of the AhR to suppress apoptosis was not restricted to fibroblasts, as siRNA-mediated knockdown of the AhR in lung epithelial cells also increased sensitivity to smoke-induced apoptosis. Collectively, these results suggest that cigarette smoke induced loss of lung structural support (i.e. fibroblasts, epithelial cells) caused by aberrations in AhR expression may explain why some smokers develop lung diseases such as COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is a critical component of normal tissue repair, as well as being fundamental to the body's defense against infection. Environmental factors, such as smoking, have been reported to modify the host response and hence modify inflammation progression, severity and outcome. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which smoking affects inflammation is vital for preventive and therapeutic strategies on a clinical level. AIM The purpose of the present article is to review the potential biological mechanisms by which smoking affects inflammation, emphasizing recent developments. RESULTS Smoking is reported to effect a number of biological mediators of inflammation through its effect on immune-inflammatory cells, leading to an immunosuppressant state. Recent evidence strongly suggests that the molecular mechanisms behind the modulation of inflammation by smoking mainly involve the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) family, through the activation of both an inhibitor of IkB kinase (IKK)-dependent and -independent pathway. In addition to NF-kB activation, a number of transcriptional factors including GATA, PAX5 and Smad 3/4, have also been implicated. CONCLUSION Multiple mechanisms may be responsible for the association of smoking and inflammation, and the identification of potential therapeutic targets should guide future research.

Abstract
Smoking is associated with increased susceptibility to tuberculosis and influenza. However, little information is available on the mechanisms underlying this increased susceptibility. Mice were left unexposed or were exposed to cigarette smoke and then infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis by aerosol or influenza A by intranasal infection. Some mice were given a DNA vaccine encoding an immunogenic M. tuberculosis protein. Gamma interferon (IFN-γ) production by T cells from the lungs and spleens was measured. Cigarette smoke exposure inhibited the lung T-cell production of IFN-γ during stimulation in vitro with anti-CD3, after vaccination with a construct expressing an immunogenic mycobacterial protein, and during infection with M. tuberculosis and influenza A virus in vivo. Reduced IFN-γ production was mediated through the decreased phosphorylation of transcription factors that positively regulate IFN-γ expression. Cigarette smoke exposure increased the bacterial burden in mice infected with M. tuberculosis and increased weight loss and mortality in mice infected with influenza virus. This study provides the first demonstration that cigarette smoke exposure directly inhibits the pulmonary T-cell response to M. tuberculosis and influenza virus in a physiologically relevant animal model, increasing susceptibility to both pathogens.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate the immunotoxicity of occupational cytostatic drug exposure, and to assess the possible effect of confounding factors, such as age and smoking. In this human study, the immunotoxic effect of antineoplastic drugs was investigated among 306 nurses working in oncology chemotherapy units. Results were compared to 98 non-exposed women. The immune status of the subjects was characterized by immune phenotyping of peripheral blood lymphocytes by flow cytometry, using monoclonal antibodies against surface antigens (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD25, CD45, CD56 and CD71). The killing ability of neutrophil leukocytes was assessed by the measurement of reactive oxygen intermediate production. Occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs caused shifts in the major lymphocyte subpopulations, resulting in a statistically significant increase in the ratio of B cells. Cytostatic drug exposure also manifested itself in a decreased frequency of CD25 positive, activated T lymphocytes, and increased oxidative burst of neutrophil granulocytes, both of which may have a functional impact on the immune system of exposed subjects. In the younger subjects exposure also caused a shift in T cell subpopulations: a reduction in the cytotoxic T cell population lead to an elevated Th/Tc ratio. In the exposed group, smoking increased activation of T lymphocyte subpopulations. In conclusion, we have demonstrated that low dose occupational cytostatic drug exposure is immunotoxic, and age and smoking modify the effect of exposure.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking adversely affects the immune system, and is a risk factor for developing osteoporosis. How smoking contributes to osteoporosis is unclear, but since lymphocytes help maintain bone homeostasis and lymphocyte depletion results in bone loss, one potential mechanism for how smoke exposure promotes osteoporosis is by reducing bone marrow lymphocytes. Since the risk for developing osteoporosis is reportedly greater in smokers with polymorphisms in LRP5, a gene involved in canonical Wnt signaling that regulates bone metabolism, smoking-induced effects on lymphocytes may be influenced by Lrp5 functionality. To test these possibilities, we examined how the duration and cessation of cigarette smoke exposure affects lymphocyte distribution and function in normal mice and mice predisposed to low or high bone mass due to disruption or mutation of Lrp5. We find that, independent of genotype, mice exposed to cigarette smoke for 3-12 weeks showed a significant reduction in bone marrow B220(+)CD43(-) B cells and splenic transitional T1 B cells, and exhibited a splenic CD4(+):CD8(+) T-cell ratio that was skewed toward CD8(+) T cells. Smoke exposure had little or no effect on other lymphocyte subsets or on lymphocyte function ex vivo. Interestingly, these differences were no longer apparent after 6 weeks without smoke exposure, except in mice with high bone mass where bone marrow B220(+)CD43(-) B cells failed to fully recover. These data provide the first evidence that smoke exposure reduces bone marrow B cells, providing a plausible mechanism for how smoking contributes to osteoporosis.

Abstract
Exposure to cigarette smoke impairs the pulmonary immune system, including alveolar macrophage function, although the mechanisms by which this occurs are not fully elucidated. This study investigates the effect of cigarette smoke exposure on the antigen-presenting activity of alveolar macrophages, which is required for antigen-specific response to T cells. C57BL/6 mice were exposed to cigarette smoke for 10 days using a Hamburg II smoking machine, and alveolar macrophages were obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage. The antigen-presenting activity of alveolar macrophages was significantly inhibited in mice exposed to cigarette smoke compared with mice not exposed to cigarette smoke. Major histocompatibility complex class II cell surface molecule-positive cells, B7-1 molecule-positive cells, and interleukin-1beta messenger RNA gene expression in alveolar macrophages were significantly decreased in mice exposed to cigarette smoke compared with mice not exposed to cigarette smoke. In contrast, DNA damage and generation of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in alveolar macrophages were significantly increased by cigarette smoke exposure. These results suggest that inhibition of the antigen-presenting activity of alveolar macrophages may result from decreased expression of major histocompatibility complex class II and B7-1 molecules and interleukin-1beta messenger RNA gene expression following cigarette smoke exposure. Furthermore, inhibition of antigen presentation in alveolar macrophage may result from DNA damage induced by excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species being generated by alveolar macrophages following cigarette smoke exposure. These findings suggest that cigarette smoke impairs the immunological function of alveolar macrophages and, as a result, increases the risk for pulmonary infection.

Abstract
A complex and multilayered immune defence system protects the host against harmful agents and maintains tissue homeostasis. Cigarette smoke exposure markedly impacts the immune system, compromising the host's ability to mount appropriate immune and inflammatory responses and contributing to smoking-related pathologies. These adverse effects on the immune system not only occur in active smokers, but also in those exposed to smoke passively in contaminated environments, and may persist for decades after exposure has ended.
