Abstract
Introduction Exposure to respiratory viruses is a significant cause of morbidity and affects virus-specific antibody levels. Little is known about determinants associated with immune response to these viruses. We aimed to investigate the determinants of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)- and rhinovirus (RV)- specific IgG responses in both children and adults. Methods The study is based on the EGEA cohort, composed of 530 samples of children in EGEA1 (1991-95) and 1241 samples of adults in EGEA2 (2003-07). Cumulative RV-specific IgG levels (species A, B and C) and IgG levels to RSV-G protein were measured by using micro-array technoloy. Multiple linear mixed models (random effect to account for familial dependence) were performed to assess associations between age, sex, body mass index (BMI), tobacco smoke exposure and season of blood sampling with RSV-and RV-specific IgG levels. Results In children (11.1 ± 2.8 years old, 57% boys), higher RV-specific IgG levels were associated with older age (only for RV-B), female sex and lower BMI, while only older age was associated with higher RSV-specific IgG levels. In adults (43.5 ± 16.7 years old, 48% men), younger age, female sex, lower BMI, active smoking and all seasons except summer were associated with higher RV-specific IgG levels. Older age, active smoking and all seasons except summer were associated with higher RSV-specific IgG levels. Conclusion Personal and seasonal determinants of RSV- and RV-specific IgG levels seem to vary according to the respiratory virus type and between children and adults, suggesting different patterns of responses along the life course.

Abstract
Lung fibrosis is a progressive fatal disease in which deregulated wound healing of lung epithelial cells drives progressive fibrotic changes. Persistent lung injury due to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are central features of lung fibrosis. Chronic cigarette smoking causes oxidative stress and is a major risk factor for lung fibrosis. The objective of this manuscript is to develop an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) that serves as a framework for investigation of the mechanisms of lung fibrosis due to lung injury caused by inhaled toxicants, including cigarette smoke. Based on the weight of evidence, oxidative stress is proposed as a molecular initiating event (MIE) which leads to increased secretion of proinflammatory and profibrotic mediators (key event 1 (KE1)). At the cellular level, these proinflammatory signals induce the recruitment of inflammatory cells (KE2), which in turn, increase fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation (KE3). At the tissue level, an increase in extracellular matrix deposition (KE4) subsequently culminates in lung fibrosis, the adverse outcome. We have also defined a new KE relationship between the MIE and KE3. This AOP provides a mechanistic platform to understand and evaluate how persistent oxidative stress from lung injury may develop into lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Leukocyte migration from the vascular compartment is critical fornormal lymphocyte recirculation in specific tissues and immune response in inflammatory locations. Leukocyte recruitment, migration to inflammatory areas, and targeting in the extravascular space are caused by cellular stimulation and local expression of adhesion molecules. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules (CAM) with a crucial role in mediating the strong adherence of leukocytes to endothelial cells in numerous acute as well as chronic diseases. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mediate inflammation and promote leukocyte migration during inflammation. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 have a large role in regulating homeostasis and in pathologic states such as cancer, atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, stroke, asthma, obesity, kidney diseases, and much more. In inflammatory conditions and infectious disorders, leukocytes move and cling to the endothelium via multiple intracellular adhesive interactions. It is suggested that combining membrane-bound and soluble ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 into a single unit functional system will further our understanding of their immunoregulatory role as well as their pathophysiological effects on disease. This review focuses on the pathophysiological roles of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in various inflammatory and other diseases as well as their emerging cardiovascular role during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
The chronic respiratory non-communicable diseases, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are among the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity. Individuals suffering from these diseases are particularly susceptible to respiratory infections caused by bacterial and/or viral pathogens, which frequently result in exacerbation of symptoms, lung function decline, frequent hospital emergency visits and increased socioeconomic burden. Human rhinoviruses (HRV) remain the major viral pathogen group implicated in exacerbations of both asthma and COPD. The rhinoviral entry into the host lung epithelium is facilitated primarily by the adhesion site (“receptor”) intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), coincidentally expressed on the respiratory epithelium in these conditions. Multiple observations of increased airway ICAM-1 protein in asthmatics, smokers and smoking-related COPD have been recorded in the literature. However, the lack of robust therapies for COPD in particular has triggered a renewed interest in assessing receptor antagonism-based anti-viral strategies for treatment of intercurrent viral infections in those with pre-existing chronic lung diseases. Given the crucial role ICAM-1 plays in facilitating HRV adhesion and, thus, transmissibility to the host respiratory system, as well as the up-regulation of ICAM-1 by smoking, we summarize the role of HRV in smoking-induced COPD and especially highlight the role of ICAM-1 in epithelial viral adhesion and chronic lung disease progression. Further, the review also sheds light specifically on evolving precision therapeutic strategies in blocking ICAM-1 for preventing viral adhesion and exacerbations of COPD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Current guidelines does not include current or former smokers who do not have spirometric airflow limitation in their diagnostic or therapeutic algorithms for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this review is to outline the burden of respiratory morbidity in this population and to discuss the potential utility of their classification as pre-COPD. RECENT FINDINGS It is increasingly clear that patients with a history of exposure to cigarette smoke or other environmental pollutants may have substantial lung pathology and respiratory impairment even in the absence of airflow limitation, as detected by spirometry. Not all of these patients will develop airflow limitation, but many will have considerable respiratory morbidity and a comparable prognosis to those with classical, spirometrically defined COPD. The use of the term pre-COPD may allow for the identification of these individuals in order to target preventive and earlier therapeutic strategies. SUMMARY Spirometry is not adequately sensitive to identify many current and former smokers and other exposed populations with significant lung pathology and respiratory symptoms. Though the pathologic processes present in these patients differ, the earlier identification of this pre-COPD population may foster the development of more effective and disease-modifying treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell growth of the lung tissues. It is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. OBJECTIVES The study aimed to determine the circulating CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 levels in lung cancer and healthy control and also established association between these biomarkers with the smoking status as well as the stages of the disease. METHODOLOGY 51 lung cancer patients and 51 healthy controls were enrolled in this case-control study. The serum levels of CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were measured in lung cancer patients and healthy control groups. RESULTS The levels of serum CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly higher in lung cancer patients when compared with controls(P<0.0001). The levels of these biomarkers were also significantly higher in stage iii/iv as compared to stage i/ii(P<0.001). Significant difference in the levels of these biomarkers were also found in smoker and non-smoker lung cancer patients as compared to controls(P<0.001). CONCLUSION CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 are the promising biomarkers in the identification of lung cancer patients. The study also supports the association of inflammatory markers to lung cancer risk. Hence these findings suggest the levels of these biomarkers could be a useful tool for guiding the diagnosis of lung cancer.

Abstract
Context: One approach to reducing the harm caused by cigarette smoking, at both individual and population level, is to develop, assess and commercialize modified risk alternatives that adult smokers can switch to. Studies to demonstrate the exposure and risk reduction potential of such products generally involve the measuring of biomarkers, of both exposure and effect, sampled in various biological matrices.Objective: In this review, we detail the pros and cons for using several biomarkers as indicators of effects of changing from conventional cigarettes to modified risk products.Materials and methods: English language publications between 2008 and 2017 were retrieved from PubMed using the same search criteria for each of the 25 assessed biomarkers. Nine exclusion criteria were applied to exclude non-relevant publications.Results: A total of 8876 articles were retrieved (of which 7476 were excluded according to the exclusion criteria). The literature indicates that not all assessed biomarkers return to baseline levels following smoking cessation during the study periods but that nine had potential for use in medium to long-term studies.Discussion and conclusion: In clinical studies, it is important to choose biomarkers that show the biological effect of cessation within the duration of the study.

Abstract
Introduction Modified-risk tobacco products are expected to reduce exposure to harmful and potentially harmful constituents of cigarette smoke, and ultimately reduce the health burden of smoking-related diseases. Clinically relevant risk markers of smoking-related diseases inform about the risk profile of new tobacco products in the absence of in-market epidemiological data. The menthol Tobacco Heating System 2.2 (mTHS) is a modified-risk tobacco product in development as an alternative to cigarettes (conventional cigarettes [CCs]). Methods In this parallel-group study, Japanese adult smokers (23-65 years; ≥10 mCCs/day) were randomized to mTHS, menthol CCs (mCC), or smoking abstinence (SA) for 5 days in confinement and 85 days in ambulatory settings. Endpoints included biomarkers of exposure to harmful and potentially harmful constituents and clinically relevant risk markers of smoking-related diseases. Results One-hundred and sixty participants were randomized to the mTHS (n = 78), mCC (n = 42), and SA (n = 40) groups. Switching to the mTHS was associated with reductions in biomarkers of exposure compared with continuing mCCs. Reductions in 8-epi-prostaglandin F2α (biomarker of oxidative stress), 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (biomarker of platelet activation), soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (biomarker of endothelial function), and an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (biomarker of lipid metabolism) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (biomarker of lung function) occurred in the mTHS group compared with the mCC group. The changes in the mTHS group approached those in the SA group. Conclusions Switching from mCCs to mTHS was associated with improvements in clinically relevant risk markers linked to mechanistic pathways involved in smoking-related diseases. Implications In this three-way randomized study, switching from menthol cigarettes to mTHS for 5 days in confinement and 85 days in ambulatory settings was associated with reductions in biomarkers of exposure to cigarette smoke, and changes were observed in clinically relevant biomarkers of oxidative stress (8-epi-prostaglandin F2α), platelet activity (11-dehydro-thromboxane B2), endothelial function (soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1), lipid metabolism (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second), similar to the SA group. The results suggest that switching to the mTHS has the potential to reduce the adverse health effects of conventional cigarettes.

Abstract
The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) is increasing rapidly, but their effects on lung toxicity are largely unknown. Smoking is a well-established cause of lung cancer and respiratory disease, in part through inflammation. It is plausible that e-cig use might affect similar inflammatory pathways. E-cigs are used by some smokers as an aid for quitting or smoking reduction, and by never smokers (e.g., adolescents and young adults). The relative effects for impacting disease risk may differ for these groups. Cell culture and experimental animal data indicate that e-cigs have the potential for inducing inflammation, albeit much less than smoking. Human studies show that e-cig use in smokers is associated with substantial reductions in blood or urinary biomarkers of tobacco toxicants when completely switching and somewhat for dual use. However, the extent to which these biomarkers are surrogates for potential lung toxicity remains unclear. The FDA now has regulatory authority over e-cigs and can regulate product and e-liquid design features, such as nicotine content and delivery, voltage, e-liquid formulations, and flavors. All of these factors may impact pulmonary toxicity. This review summarizes current data on pulmonary inflammation related to both smoking and e-cig use, with a focus on human lung biomarkers.

Biological interaction of cigarette smoking on the association between genetic polymorphisms involved in inflammation and the risk of lung cancer: A case-control study in Japan. Oncol Lett 2017; 13:3873-3881.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation serves an important role in lung carcinogenesis, thus genetic polymorphisms involved in this pathway may affect the risk of lung cancer. The present case-control study focused on the association between lung cancer risk and genetic polymorphisms involved in inflammatory pathways. The study comprised 462 lung cancer cases and 379 controls from Japan. The roles of interleukin 8 (IL8) rs4073, nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) rs28362491, cytochrome b-245, alpha polypeptide (CYBA) rs4673, NAD(P) H dehydrogenase, quinone 1 (NQO1) rs1800566, nitric oxide synthase 2 and inducible (NOS2) rs2297518 polymorphisms in lung carcinogenesis were investigated. An unconditional logistic model was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between the genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. The multiplicative and additive [relative excess risk due to interaction, attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) and synergy index (SI)] interactions with cigarette smoking were also determined. A significant association was revealed between the TT genotype of NQO1 rs1800566 and an increased risk of lung cancer (OR=1.78; 95% CI=1.14-2.79). The additive interaction evaluations between CYBA rs4673 (AP=0.50, 95% CI=0.15-0.85; SI=2.66, 95% CI=1.01-6.99) and smoking were also statistically significant. NQO1 rs1800566 was significantly associated with lung cancer risk and smoking may influence the association between CYBA rs4673 and the risk of lung cancer. Additional studies with larger control and case populations are warranted in order to confirm the CYBA rs4673-smoking association suggested by the present study.

The main rhinovirus respiratory tract adhesion site (ICAM-1) is upregulated in smokers and patients with chronic airflow limitation (CAL). Respir Res 2017; 18:6. [PMID: 28056984 PMCID: PMC5217320 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-016-0483-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2016] [Accepted: 12/06/2016] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND ICAM-1 is a major receptor for ~60% of human rhinoviruses, and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae, two major pathogens in COPD. Increased cell-surface expression of ICAM-1 in response to tobacco smoke exposure has been suggested. We have investigated epithelial ICAM-1 expression in both the large and small airways, and lung parenchyma in smoking-related chronic airflow limitation (CAL) patients. METHODS We evaluated epithelial ICAM-1 expression in resected lung tissue: 8 smokers with normal spirometry (NLFS); 29 CAL patients (10 small-airway disease; 9 COPD-smokers; 10 COPD ex-smokers); Controls (NC): 15 normal airway/lung tissues. Immunostaining with anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody was quantified with computerized image analysis. The percent and type of cells expressing ICAM-1 in large and small airway epithelium and parenchyma were enumerated, plus percentage of epithelial goblet and submucosal glands positive for ICAM- 1. RESULTS A major increase in ICAM-1 expression in epithelial cells was found in both large (p < 0.006) and small airways (p < 0.004) of CAL subjects compared to NC, with NLFS being intermediate. In the CAL group, both basal and luminal areas stained heavily for ICAM-1, so did goblet cells and sub-mucosal glands, however in either NC or NLFS subjects, only epithelial cell luminal surfaces stained. ICAM-1 expression on alveolar pneumocytes (mainly type II) was slightly increased in CAL and NLFS (p < 0.01). Pack-years of smoking correlated with ICAM-1 expression (r = 0.49; p < 0.03). CONCLUSION Airway ICAM-1 expression is markedly upregulated in CAL group, which could be crucial in rhinoviral and NTHi infections. The parenchymal ICAM-1 is affected by smoking, with no further enhancement in CAL subjects.

Abstract
Exposure of the lungs to airborne toxicants from different sources in the environment may lead to acute and chronic pulmonary or even systemic inflammation. Cigarette smoke is the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, although wood smoke in urban areas of underdeveloped countries is now recognized as a leading cause of respiratory disease. Mycotoxins from fungal spores pose an occupational risk for respiratory illness and also present a health hazard to those living in damp buildings. Microscopic airborne particulates of asbestos and silica (from building materials) and those of heavy metals (from paint) are additional sources of indoor air pollution that contributes to respiratory illness and is known to cause respiratory illness in experimental animals. Ricin in aerosolized form is a potential bioweapon that is extremely toxic yet relatively easy to produce. Although the aforementioned agents belong to different classes of toxic chemicals, their pathogenicity is similar. They induce the recruitment and activation of macrophages, activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, inhibition of protein synthesis, and production of interleukin-1 beta. Targeting either macrophages (using nanoparticles) or the production of interleukin-1 beta (using inhibitors against protein kinases, NOD-like receptor protein-3, or P2X7) may potentially be employed to treat these types of lung inflammation without affecting the natural immune response to bacterial infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokine-mediated inflammation is important in the pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Genetic polymorphisms in cytokine genes and their association with lung cancer in the Indian population have not been reported. METHODS For the first time, we analyzed genetic polymorphisms of TNFα -308, IFNγ +874, and IL10 -1082 genes in 246 NSCLC patients and 250 healthy controls in the South Indian population from Telangana using ARMS PCR. RESULTS IFNγ+874 A/T and IL10-1082 G/G gene polymorphisms were found to be significantly associated with NSCLC with 1.56- and 1.68-fold disease risk, respectively. There was no association between the risk of NSCLC and TNFα-308 polymorphism. Gene polymorphisms stratified according to smoking revealed that IFNγ+874 A/T polymorphisms in smokers increased the disease risk by 2.91 fold. IL10-1082 G/G polymorphisms showed 2-fold increased risk among patients who were smokers when compared to the controls. However, there was no association between TNFα-308, IFNγ+874, and IL10-1082 gene polymorphism and the stage of the NSCLC patients. The overall risk associated with the combination of these polymorphisms indicated that the TNFα-308 G/A + IFNγ+874 A/T + IL10-1082 G/G genotype increased the risk by 1.5 fold. CONCLUSIONS The results of our study indicate an association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and the risk of NSCLC in an Indian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is considered to be one of major causes of acute worsening of asthma as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Macrolide antibiotics have been reported to reduce the risk of exacerbations of COPD, and possibly neutrophilic asthma. However, the effect of clarithromycin (CAM) on pulmonary inflammation caused by short term exposure to cigarette smoke still remains to be investigated. METHODS C57BL/6J female mice were daily exposed to tobacco smoke using a tobacco smoke exposure system, or clean air for 8 days, while simultaneously treated with either oral CAM or vehicles. Twenty four hours after the last exposure, mice were anaesthetized and sacrificed, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids were collected. Cellular responses in BAL fluids were evaluated. Levels of cytokine mRNA in the lung tissues were measured by quantitative RT-PCR. Paraffin-embedded lung tissues were evaluated to quantitate degree of neutrophil infiltration. RESULTS The numbers of total cells, macrophages and neutrophils in the BAL fluid of smoke-exposed mice were significantly increased as compared to clean air group. These changes were significantly ameliorated in CAM-treated mice. The lung morphological analysis confirmed decrease of neutrophils by CAM treatment. Studies by quantitative PCR demonstrated CAM treatment significantly reduced lung expression levels of IL-17A, keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and MMP-9 induced by cigarette smoke. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that CAM administration resolves enhanced pulmonary inflammation induced by short term cigarette smoke exposure in mice.

Abstract
Dyspnea is a common symptom physiologically associated with strenuous exercise and pathologically reflecting well-known diseases and conditions that are predominantly pulmonary, cardiovascular, and weight-related in origin. Dyspnea improves with appropriate measures that enhance physical performance and treatment of the underlying diseases. Dyspnea is less commonly triggered by other causes such as the environment (e.g., ozone), drugs, and others, some of which do not seem to affect bronchopulmonary function as evidenced by normal results of comprehensive pulmonary function testing. In cardiovascular medicine, dyspnea has recently attracted attention because it has been reported that this symptom occurs more frequently with the administration of the new oral reversibly-binding platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitors ticagrelor [1-6], cangrelor [7-10], and elinogrel [11]. This paper succinctly addresses the current understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostics of dyspnea, associated either with bronchopulmonary function impairment, as triggered mainly by pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, or without bronchopulmonary function impairment, as induced by endogenous or external compounds such as drugs in order to provide a context for understanding, recognizing and managing P2Y12 inhibitor-induced dyspnea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammation is considered as an important factor in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. The presence of inflammatory cells and higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the tumor microenvironment and their surrounding tissues is gaining much importance in research. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred ninety NSCLC cases and 200 age, smoking and sex matched controls were evaluated for association of IL-8 -251 (rs4073) and IL-8 -845 (rs2227532) in our population. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used followed by direct sequencing for the detection of SNPs. RESULTS The IL-8 -845 polymorphism was not found in our population. No significant association was observed between the IL-8 -251 AT genotypes and IL-8 -25 AA genotypes and NSCLC (p=0.05) in our population. The IL-8 -251 A allele was also non-significant (p=0.05) in NSCLC patients. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, this report reveals lack of association between IL-8 - 251 A/T polymorphism and NSCLC in our Kashmir Valley population.

Abstract
Introduction Interleukin 1 beta (IL- 1β), a key proinflammatory cytokine encoded by the interleukin 1 beta gene, has been associated with chronic inflammation and plays an important role in lung inflammatory diseases including lung cancer. Elevated levels of Interleukin 1proteins, in particular interleukin 1 beta greatly enhance the intensity of the inflammatory response. Aim To study the role of interleukin 1 beta-31C > T and -511 T > C polymorphism in the pathogenesis of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and methods One hundred and ninety non small cell lung cancer patients and 200 healthy age, sex, smoking and dwelling matched controls were used for polymorphic analysis by polymerase chain reaction—restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) followed by sequencing. Normal tissues of 48 histopathologically confirmed non small cell lung cancer patients were taken for mRNA expression analysis. Quantitation of interleukin 1 beta was carried out by quantitative real time PCR. Result The T/T genotype of interleukin 1 beta-31 gene was significantly associated with increased risk of NSCLC [(P = 0.001, OR – 2.8 (95%CI 1.52–5.26)]. The interleukin 1 beta − 511 T > C does not show any difference between the NSCLC and control group (P = 0.3, OR – 0.72 (95%CI 0.41–1.28). Quantitative analysis of mRNA showed significant association with interleukin 1 beta T allele as compared to the interleukin 1 beta-31C allele (P = 0.006). Conclusion We conclude that lung cancer risk genotype interleukin 1 beta-31TT results in increased expression of interleukin 1 beta mRNA in lung cancer patients. Our data suggest that this genotype (IL1β -31TT) in the interleukin 1 beta regulatory region provide a microenvironment with elevated inflammatory stimuli and thus increasing the risk for lung cancer.

Abstract
Interleukin 1, beta (IL1B) plays a key role in mediating acute and chronic inflammation, which is further correlated with lung carcinogenesis. Several polymorphisms on IL1B gene have been identified, and a series of epidemiological studies have examined the association between IL1B polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. However, these findings are inconclusive. To derive a precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. We summarized 12 eligible publications on three commonly studied IL1B polymorphisms (i.e., -31 T/C, -511 T/C, and +3954 C/T) by searching electronic databases. Combined odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to assess the strength of association between them. Heterogeneity and publication bias were also assessed. We observed a significant association between IL1B polymorphisms and lung cancer. For -31T/C, the overall OR (95% CI) of TT/TC versus CC was 1.23 (1.06-1.43). For +3954 C/T, the overall OR (95% CI) of CC versus TT and CC versus CT/TT were 0.92 (0.86-0.99) and 0.92 (0.86-0.99), respectively. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that the IL1B -31 T/C and +3954 C/T polymorphisms are associated with lung cancer risk. However, larger number of samples and studies with homogeneous lung cancer patients are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Photocopiers emit large quantities of nanoparticles (NPs); however, their toxicological properties have not been studied. Here we investigate for the first time early human responses following a day's exposure to NPs from photocopiers. Nine healthy subjects spent 6 h at a busy photocopy centre on 2-3 randomly selected days. Matched nasal lavage and urine samples were collected before and at different time points post-exposure. Nasal lavage samples were analysed for 14 cytokines, inflammatory cells and total protein. Urine samples were analysed for 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG). Exposure assessment was conducted using a suite of instruments. The mean total particle number on exposure days was >5 times higher than background, with size distributions in nanoscale range (peak 30-40 nm). Following exposure, 8-OH-dG and several pro-inflammatory cytokines were elevated 2-10 folds compared with pre-exposure levels and remained elevated for up to 36 h. We conclude that NPs from photocopiers induce upper airway inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Asthma is the commonest medical cause for hospital admission for children in Australia, affects more than 300 million people worldwide, and is incurable, severe in large number and refractory to treatment in many. However, there have been no new significant treatments despite intense research and billions of dollars. The advancement in our understanding in this disease has been limited due to its heterogeneity, genetic complexity and has severely been hampered particularly in children by the difficulty in obtaining relevant target organ tissue. This review attempts to provide an overview of the currently used and recently developed/adapted techniques used to obtain lung tissue with specific reference to the airway epithelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies that were based primarily on small numbers of patients suggested that certain circulating proinflammatory cytokines may be associated with lung cancer; however, large independent studies are lacking. METHODS Associations between serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) levels and lung cancer were analyzed among 270 case patients and 296 control subjects participating in the National Cancer Institute-Maryland (NCI-MD) case-control study. Results were validated in 532 case patients and 595 control subjects in a nested case-control study within the prospective Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial. Association with C-reactive protein (CRP), a systemic inflammation biomarker, was also analyzed. Associations between biomarkers and lung cancer were estimated using logistic regression models adjusted for smoking, stage, histology, age, and sex. The 10-year standardized absolute risks of lung cancer were estimated using a weighted Cox regression model. RESULTS Serum IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the highest quartile were associated with lung cancer in the NCI-MD study (IL-6, odds ratio [OR] = 3.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.88 to 5.77; IL-8, OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.19 to 3.57) and with lung cancer risk in the PLCO study (IL-6, OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.04 to 2.10; IL-8, OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.10 to 2.24), compared with the lowest quartile. In the PLCO study, increased IL-6 levels were only associated with lung cancer diagnosed within 2 years of blood collection, whereas increased IL-8 levels were associated with lung cancer diagnosed more than 2 years after blood collection (OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.15 to 2.13). The 10-year standardized absolute risks of lung cancer in the PLCO study were highest among current smokers with high IL-8 and CRP levels (absolute risk = 8.01%, 95% CI = 5.77% to 11.05%). CONCLUSIONS Although increased levels of both serum IL-6 and IL-8 are associated with lung cancer, only IL-8 levels are associated with lung cancer risk several years before diagnosis. Combination of IL-8 and CRP are more robust biomarkers than either marker alone in predicting subsequent lung cancer.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by poorly reversible airflow limitation associated with airway remodelling and inflammation of both large and small airways. The site of airflow obstruction in COPD is located in the small airways, justifying a focus on this compartment. The structural abnormalities that are found in bronchioles with a diameter less than 2mm are characterized by increased airway wall thickness with peribronchial fibrosis, and by luminal obstruction by mucous exudates. Destruction of alveolar walls, the hallmark of emphysema, may be related to protease-antiprotease imbalance, and to mechanisms involving apoptosis, senescence, and autoimmunity. Cigarette smoke inhalation triggers the recruitment of innate immune cells (neutrophils and macrophages) and putatively adaptive immunity mediated via T and B lymphocytes and lymphoid follicles in the small airways. These data suggest a potential role for therapies that can target remodelling and inflammation in the small airways of patients with COPD.

Abstract
Although adverse health effects of particulate matter with a diameter of <100 nm (nanoparticles) have been proposed, biological evidence supporting their promotion of the inflammatory lung response in vivo is limited. This study investigated the impact of pulmonary exposure to carbon black nanoparticles (CBNP) on emphysematous lung injury induced by porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) in mice. Vehicle, two sizes (14 and 56 nm) of CBNP (50 μg/body: 4 mg/kg), PPE (0.03 U/body: 1 U/kg) or PPE + CBNP was administered intratracheally; thereafter, parameters of inflammatory lung changes were evaluated at several time-points. CBNP of 14 nm significantly induced acute lung inflammation in non-elicited subjects and aggravated PPE-elicited airway neutrophilic inflammation at an early stage (day 1), which was concomitant with the enhanced lung expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β and chemokine such as keratinocyte-derived chemoattractant. Further, 14-nm CBNP exaggerated emphysematous lung structural changes at a delayed stage (day 14). On the other hand, 56-nm CBNP induced lung inflammation but did not influence PPE-elicited pathophysiology in the lung. Taken together, CBNP at an optimal size and dose can exacerbate PPE-induced pulmonary inflammation and emphysema. This enhancement may be mediated, at least partly, via the increased local expression of pro-inflammatory molecules.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic smoking related changes in pulmonary function are reflected as accelerated decrease in FEV1 although histologic changes occur in the peripheral bronchi earlier. More sensitive pulmonary function parameters might mirror those early changes and might show a dose response. METHODS In a randomized three-period cross-over design 57 male adult conventional cigarette (CC)-smokers (age: 45.1+/-7.1 years) smoked either CC (tar:11 mg, nicotine:0.8 mg, carbon monoxide:11 mg [Federal Trade Commission (FTC)]), or used as a potential reduced-exposure product the electrically heated smoking system (EHCSS) (tar:5 mg, nicotine:0.3 mg, carbon monoxide:0.45 mg (FTC)) or did not smoke (NS). After each 3-day exposure period, hematology and exposure parameters were determined preceding body plethysmography. RESULTS Cigarette smoke exposure was significantly (p<0.0001) higher in CC than in EHCSS and in NS: (carboxyhemoglobin: CC: 6.4+/-1.9%; EHCSS: 1.3+/-0.6%; NS: 0.5+/-0.3%; serum nicotine: CC: 18.9+/-7.4 ng/ml; EHCSS: 8.4+/-4.3 ng/ml; NS: 1.2+/-1.6 ng/ml). Significantly lower in CC than in EHCSS and NS were specific airway conductance (0.22+/-0.09; 0.25+/-0.12; 0.25+/-0.1 1/cmH(2)O x s; CC vs EHCSS: p<0.05; CC vs NS: p<0.01), forced expiratory flow 25% (7.6+/-1.7; 7.8+/-1.7; 7.9+/-1.7 L/s; CC vs EHCSS or NS: p<0.01). Thoracic gas volume (5.1+/-1; 5+/-1.1; 5+/-1.1L/min) changed insignificantly. CONCLUSION The data indicate acute and reversible effects of cigarette smoke exposures and no-smoking on mid to small size pulmonary airways in a dose dependent manner.

Abstract
Potential mechanisms and biomarkers of atherosclerosis related to cigarette smoking - a modifiable risk factor for that disease - are discussed in this article. These include smoking-associated inflammatory markers, such as leukocytes, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, ICAM-1 and IL-6. Other reviewed markers are indicative for smoking-related impairment of arterial endothelial function (transcapillary leakage of albumin, inhibition of endogenous nitric oxide synthase activity and reduced endothelium-dependent vasodilation) or point to oxidative stress caused by various chemicals (cholesterol oxidation, autoantibodies to oxidized low-density lipoprotein, plasma levels of malondialdehyde and F(2)-isoprostanes and reduced antioxidant capacity). Smoking enhances platelet aggregability, increases blood viscosity and shifts the pro- and antithrombotic balance towards increased coagulability (e.g., fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, ICAM-1 and P-selectin). Insulin resistance is higher in smokers compared with nonsmokers, and hemoglobin A1c is dose-dependently elevated, as is homocysteine. Smoke exposure may influence the kinetics of markers with different response to transient or chronic changes in cigarette smoking behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% of all lung cancers. Reports suggested an association between the interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) -31 and -511 gene loci and NSCLC, but few studies took into account the effect of smoking and/or alcohol drinking on the association. METHODS Two-hundred thirteen cases of NSCLC (aged 58.2 + or - 10.1) and 213 controls (aged 59.4 + or - 10.3y) were included in this research. Information about the smoking and drinking behaviors, dietary customs, and anamnesis were obtained from all subjects by questionnaires, and genomic DNA was extracted. IL-1beta -31 and -511 gene polymorphisms were detected using PCR-RFLP. The interactions between the genotypes and alcohol drinking/smoking were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS (The T/T genotype and the T allele of the IL-1beta -31 gene were associated with higher incidence of NSCLC (P<0.05). For the IL-1beta -511 locus, no difference was found in different genotypes between the NSCLC and control groups. After the adjustment of confounding variables, such as age and gender, the binary logistic analysis showed a significant gene-environment interaction (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The IL-1beta -31T allele was positively associated with a risk of NSCLC, and the carriers of IL-1beta -31T/T or -511C/C would have a higher risk of suffering from NSCLC if they drank alcohol or smoke heavily.

Abstract
It has been reported that small airway inflammation is closely associated with the severity of airflow limitation in COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). We tested a new method of measurement of biochemical constituents in ELF (epithelial lining fluid) obtained separately from the central or peripheral airways using a bronchoscopic microsampling technique. The present study was designed to determine the validity of measuring CML [Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine] levels in ELF for the assessment of small airway inflammation in COPD. Ten non-smokers, ten current smokers and 16 COPD patients were included in the present study. Concentrations of CML, 8-isoprostane and IL-8 (interleukin-8) were measured in ELF separately from the central or peripheral airways. CML levels in central airways did not differ significantly, but were markedly higher in peripheral than in central airways in the three groups. However, CML levels in peripheral airways of COPD patients were significantly higher than those in non-smokers and current smokers. In COPD patients, the CML level in peripheral airways was significantly correlated with FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 s) (r=−0.82, P=0.002) and FEV1/FVC (forced vital capacity) (r=−0.57, P=0.03). Moreover, CML levels in peripheral airways were significantly correlated with levels of both 8-isoprostane (r=0.76, P=0.003) and IL-8 (r=0.67, P=0.01). In conclusion, these findings suggest that elevated levels of CML in ELF from peripheral airways were observed in COPD patients, and this parameter was correlated with the severity of airflow limitation.

Abstract
Background The study of small airway diseases such as post-transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is hampered by the difficulty in assessing peripheral airway function either physiologically or directly. Our aims were to develop robust methods for sampling small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) and to establish submerged SAEC cultures for downstream experimentation. Methods SAEC were obtained at 62 post-transplant bronchoscopies in 26 patients using radiologically guided bronchial brushings. Submerged cell cultures were established and SAEC lineage was confirmed using expression of clara cell secretory protein (CCSP). Results The cell yield for SAEC (0.956 ± 0.063 × 106) was lower than for large airway cells (1.306 ± 0.077 × 106) but did not significantly impact on the culture establishment rate (79.0 ± 5.2% vs. 83.8 ± 4.7% p = 0.49). The presence of BOS significantly compromised culture success (independent of cell yield) for SAEC (odds ratio (95%CI) 0.067 (0.01-0.40)) but not LAEC (0.3 (0.05-1.9)). Established cultures were successfully passaged and expanded. Conclusion Primary SAEC can be successfully obtained from human lung transplant recipients and maintained in culture for downstream experimentation. This technique will facilitate the development of primary in vitro models for BOS and other diseases with a small airway component such as asthma, cystic fibrosis and COPD.

Abstract
Studies on the relationships between inflammatory pathway genes and lung cancer risk have not included African-Americans and have only included a handful of genes. In a population-based case-control study on 198 African-American and 744 Caucasian women, we examined the association between 70 cytokine and cytokine receptor single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Unconditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals in a dominant model adjusting for major risk factors for lung cancer. Separate analyses were conducted by race and by smoking history and history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Caucasians. Random forest analysis was conducted by race. On logistic regression analysis, IL6 (interleukin 6), IL7R, IL15, TNF (tumor necrosis factor), and IL10 SNP were associated with risk of non-small cell lung cancer among African-Americans; IL7R and IL10 SNPs were also associated with risk of lung cancer among Caucasians. Although random forest analysis showed IL7R and IL10 SNPs as being associated with risk for lung cancer among African-Americans, it also identified TNFRSF10A SNP as an important predictor. On random forest analysis, an IL1A SNP was identified as an important predictor of lung cancer among Caucasian women. Inflammatory SNPs differentially predicted risk for NSCLC according to race, as well as based on smoking history and history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among Caucasian women. Pathway analysis results are presented. Inflammatory pathway genotypes may serve to define a high risk group; further exploration of these genes in minority populations is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation has been associated with reduced lung function. Adhesion molecules, such as intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and P-selectin, figure importantly in initiating the inflammatory response. We studied the association between ICAM-1 and P-selectin concentrations and lung function in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study. METHODS Spirometry testing was conducted at years 5, 10, and 20. ICAM-1 and P-selectin were assayed at year 15. RESULTS Complete data were obtained from 2,455 participants. We first predicted year-20 lung function from year-15 ICAM-1 concentration data. After controlling for race, gender, height, age, physical activity, smoking status, alcohol intake, BMI, and asthma status, all taken at year 15, the year-20 FVC was 164 mL higher (p < 0.0001) and FEV(1) was 164 mL higher (p = 0.0003) in the lowest ICAM-1 concentration quartile than the highest ICAM-1 quartile, whereas the FEV(1)/FVC ratio showed no association (p = 0.25). We then predicted the year-15 ICAM-1 concentration from year-5 lung function and change in lung function (year 10 - year 5). The year-15 ICAM-1 concentration was about 13 ng/mL higher in the lowest vs highest quartile of either the year-5 FVC (p = 0.01) or year-5 FEV(1) (p = 0.005). Year-15 ICAM-1 concentration was unrelated to year-5 FEV(1)/FVC ratio. Greater loss in FVC and FEV(1) (year 10 - year 5) also was associated with higher year-15 ICAM-1 concentrations. Associations between P-selectin and lung function followed a similar but weaker pattern to that observed for ICAM-1. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest a bidirectional association between circulating adhesion molecules, such as ICAM-1 and P-selectin, and pattern of lung function change in adults.

Abstract
Contraction of airway smooth muscle (ASM) is regulated by the physiological, structural and mechanical environment in the lung. We review two in vitro techniques, lung slices and airway segment preparations, that enable in situ ASM contraction and airway narrowing to be visualized. Lung slices and airway segment approaches bridge a gap between cell culture and isolated ASM, and whole animal studies. Imaging techniques enable key upstream events involved in airway narrowing, such as ASM cell signalling and structural and mechanical events impinging on ASM, to be investigated.

Abstract
In the last few years, prostate cancer has become one of the most common causes of mortality worldwide. It is therefore important to detect possible risk factors for this malignant disease. Besides risk factors which increase incidence, attention should be paid to factors which have a possible influence on the course of the disease. In our analysis, we demonstrate a worse course for the disease in patients with prostate cancer who smoked cigarettes at the time of first diagnosis. In spite of comparable staging, grading and PSA values at the time of primary diagnosis, individuals who smoked had a threefold higher risk of dying from prostate cancer. This effect is probably caused by metabolic changes which are activated by cigarette smoking and promote tumor growth and the development of metastases.

Abstract
Modern techniques for medical diagnostics and therapy in keyhole surgery scenarios as well as technical inspection make use of flexible endoscopes. Their characteristic bendable image conductor consists of a very limited number of coated fibers, which leads to so-called comb structure. This effect has a negative impact on further image processing steps such as feature tracking because these overlaid image structures are wrongly detected as image features. With respect to these tasks, we propose an automatic approach to generate optimal spectral filter masks for enhancement of fiberscopic images. We apply the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem to the spectrum of fiberscopically acquired images to obtain parameters for optimal filter mask calculation. This can be done automatically and independently of scale and resolution of the image conductor as well as type and resolution of the image sensor. We designed and verified simple rotation invariant masks as well as star-shaped rotation variant masks that contain information about orientation between the fiberscope and sensor. A subjective survey among experts between different modes of filtering certified the best results to the adapted star-shaped mask for high-quality glass fiberscopes. We furthermore define an objective metric to evaluate the results of different filter approaches, which verifies the results of the subjective survey. The proposed approach enables the automated reduction of fiberscopic comb structure. It is adaptive to arbitrary endoscope and sensor combinations. The results give the prospect of a large field of possible applications to reduce fiberscopic structure both for visual optimization in clinical environments and for further digital imaging tasks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin-8 (IL8) is a member of the family of chemokines. The IL8 gene has polymorphic variations, and the genotype of IL8 -251 A>T is associated with smoking behavior and cancer progression. METHOD IL8 -251 A>T polymorphism were investigated in Japanese, from 5 different areas, in Ovambo, Turkish, Mongolian and Korean populations by PCR with confronting 2-pair primers (PCR-CTPP) analysis. RESULTS A subpopulation analysis of Japan revealed a north-to-south increase in the frequency of the IL8 -251 T allele. Among the 5 groups, the Japanese showed the highest frequency of mutant allele followed by the Turks. The distribution pattern in the Japanese was different from those of Mongolians and Koreans. In the Ovambo population, no mutant allele homozygote subject was found and the frequency of mutant alleles was the lowest, similar to that in Gambians. CONCLUSION The present study is the first to demonstrate the Japan population inter-prefecture differences in IL8 -251 A>T polymorphism as well as a certain genetic heterogeneity in the worldwide distribution of IL8 -251 A>T polymorphism. The distribution results may help define the true significance of IL8 -251 A>T polymorphism as a marker for smoking behavior in populations worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COPD, the fifth-leading cause of death worldwide, is characterized by chronic inflammation. However, no available agent can effectively cure this inflammation. A dietary supplement containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we hypothesized that nutritional support with omega-3 PUFA-rich diets may be useful for treating COPD, and we compared the clinical features and inflammatory mediator levels between the COPD patients who received an omega-3 PUFA-rich supplement and those who received a nonrich supplement. METHODS Sixty-four COPD patients received 400 kilocalories per day of an omega-3 PUFA-rich supplement (n-3 group) or an omega-3 PUFA-nonrich supplement (n-6 group) for 2 years. We prospectively investigated the clinical features of these patients and measured the levels of inflammatory mediators. RESULTS In 6-min walk testing, the dyspnea Borg scale and decrease of arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry significantly improved in the n-3 group. Leukotriene B4 levels in serum and sputum and tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-8 levels in sputum decreased significantly in the n-3 group, while there was no significant change in the n-6 group. Two patients in the n-3 group and three patients in the n-6 group had mild diarrhea, and three patients in the n-3 group and three patients in the n-6 group had nausea; however, their symptoms were controllable and they improved with treatment. With multiple regression analysis, it was proved that the omega-3 PUFA-rich diet significantly contributed to the change in cytokine levels in this study. CONCLUSION We suggest nutritional support with an omega-3 PUFA-rich diet as a safe and practical method for treating COPD.

Abstract
Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is decreased by cigarette smoking. The hypothesis that oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in cigarette smoke solution (CSS) may exert a negative feedback mechanism upon NO release from epithelial (AEC, A549, and NHTBE) and basophilic cells (RBL-2H3) was tested in vitro. CSS inhibited both NO production and degranulation (measured as release of beta-hexosaminidase) in a dose-dependent manner from RBL-2H3 cells. Inhibition of NO production by CSS in AEC, A549, and NHTBE cells was also dose-dependent. In addition, CSS decreased expression of NOS mRNA and protein expression. The addition of NO inhibitors and scavengers did not, however, reverse the effects of CSS, nor did a NO donor (SNP) or nicotine mimic CSS. N-acetyl-cysteine, partially reversed the inhibition of beta-hexosaminidase release suggesting CSS may act via oxidative free radicals. Thus, some of the inhibitory effects of CSS appear to be via oxidative free radicals rather than a NOX -related negative feedback.

Abstract
RATIONALE In cigarette smoking-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, structural and functional derangements are characterized by parenchymal destruction and pulmonary hypertension. Statins are 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme-A reductase inhibitors that have been used as lipid-lowering agents. These drugs also have additional pharmacologic properties, including antiinflammation, scavenging reactive oxygen species, restoring endothelial function, and antithrombogenesis, all of which can counteract the harmful effects of cigarette smoking. OBJECTIVE We performed assays to determine whether simvastatin could attenuate lung damage induced by chronic cigarette smoking in rats. METHODS In Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to cigarette smoke for 16 weeks, morphologic changes in the lungs and pulmonary arterial pressure were examined. MAIN RESULTS Simvastatin inhibited lung parenchymal destruction and development of pulmonary hypertension, and also inhibited peribronchial and perivascular infiltration of inflammatory cells and induction of matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity in lung tissue. Simvastatin additionally prevented pulmonary vascular remodeling and the changes in endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression induced by smoking. In human lung microvascular endothelial cells, simvastatin increased expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase mRNA. CONCLUSIONS Simvastatin ameliorated the structural and functional derangements of the lungs caused by cigarette smoking, partly by suppressing inflammation and matrix metalloproteinase-9 induction and preventing pulmonary vascular abnormality. These findings indicate that statins may play a role in the treatment of cigarette smoking-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract
Respiratory epithelial cells are known to contribute to immune responses through the release of mediators. The aim of this study was to characterize the immunomodulatory effects of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), a tobacco carcinogen, on respiratory epithelial cells and to compare two metabolic pathways, alpha-methylhydroxylation and alpha-methylenehydroxylation, involved in these effects using selective precursors, 4-(acetoxy-methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridil)-1-butanone (NNKOAc) and N-nitroso (acetoxymethyl) methylamine (NDMAOAc), respectively. Human bronchial and alveolar epithelial cell lines, BEAS-2B and A549, respectively, were treated with NNK, NNKOAc and NDMAOAc for 24 h with and without tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and mediators released in cell-free supernatants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). NNK significantly inhibited interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) production in both cell types. Similar results were observed with primary bronchial and alveolar epithelial cells. Although NNK increased prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production by A549 cells, its immunomodulatory effects were not mediated by PGE(2) according to the results with cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. NNKOAc mimicked NNK effects, whereas NDMAOAc significantly inhibited IL-8 production in BEAS-2B cells and MCP-1 in both cell types. These results demonstrate that NNK and its reactive metabolites have immunosuppressive effects on respiratory epithelial cells, which could contribute to the increased respiratory infections observed in smokers and the development and/or the progression of lung cancer.

Abstract
The airway inflammation in patients with COPD shows increased numbers of CD8+ T-cells. Until now few studies have shown any functional data indicating a role for these cells in the pathogenesis of COPD. This paper focuses on a subset of CD8+ T-cells present in human lung, the intra-epithelial lymphocytes expressing the integrin alphaEbeta7, and their presence in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from COPD patients. In this study we demonstrate that 64-89% of the CD8+ T-cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from COPD patients are positive for CD103, the alpha subunit of alphaEbeta7. We also present an in vitro system in which it is possible to differentiate peripheral T-cells into a phenotype resembling the one found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, i.e., CD8+ CD103+. In this in vitro system we demonstrate that, in addition to TGF-beta1, cell-to-cell interaction between the T-cell and an antigen-presenting cell represented here by the monocyte, is crucial for a rapid, high and sustained expression of CD103. The signal provided by the monocytes is shown to be mediated through LFA-1 on the T-cell. Furthermore, differentiation of CD8+ T-cells by TGF-beta1 and monocytes results in down regulation of INF-gamma, TNF-alpha and GM-CSF production. IL-8 production is, however, retained in the alphaEbeta7 expressing cells. We see this work as an initiation on the quest for a functional characterization of one of the different types of CD8+ T cells present in COPD. In the longer perspective we hope this can lead to an increased understanding of how these cells can contribute to the disease pathology.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to characterize the pattern of cytokine gene expression by human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) in response to interleukin-1 (IL-1). Primary cultured HCEC (P-HCEC) or SV40 transformed HCEC (SV40-HCEC) were treated for 6 hr with serum-free growth-media alone or with recombinant human IL-1beta or IL-1alpha (10 ng ml(-1)). 33P labeled cDNA was generated from total RNA, then hybridized to a human cytokine expression array. An autoradiograph was generated for each experimental condition and results analysed semi-quantitatively. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to detect mRNA for IL-8, growth related oncogene-beta (GRO-beta), intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and Ephrin A5. P-HCEC and SV40-HCEC demonstrated comparable cytokine profiles. For P-HCEC (n=2) the expression of 35 genes was upregulated or only detectable following IL-1beta treatment whereas the expression of nine genes was downregulated or undetectable after IL-1beta treatment. In SV40-HCEC (n=3), the expression of 48 genes was upregulated or only detectable following IL-1beta treatment and the expression of 10 genes was downregulated or undetectable after IL-1beta treatment. Some genes that demonstrated increased expression included cadherin-5, ICAM-1, GRO-alpha, GRO-beta, GRO-gamma, Activin A (bA subunit), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8. Genes that showed decreased expression included the chemokine receptor-CXCR-4, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), c-kit ligand, Ephrin A5, G-protein coupled receptor RDC-1 and FGF family FGFR2. Bayesian analysis of the SV40-HCEC data (n=3) revealed the expression of 15 genes that were significantly (p<0.05) differentially regulated. Within these 15 genes, the expression of chemokines (GRO-alpha, GRO-beta, IL-8), fibroblast growth factor 13 and the cytokine IL-6 were the most upregulated, while ephrin A5 and chemokine receptor-4 were the most downregulated. IL-1alpha treatment (n=1 P-HCEC; n=1 SV40-HCEC) produced results very similar to IL-1beta treatment. RT-PCR revealed differential regulation of IL-8, GRO-beta, ICAM-1 and ephrin A5 in accordance with gene array data. In conclusion, the data demonstrate that IL-1 treatment of HCEC differentially regulates the expression of other cytokine and related genes, thus adding to the body of evidence that IL-1 is a major mediator of ocular surface inflammatory reactions. Since the expression of a large number of genes can be studied simultaneously, gene array studies such as these offers the advantage of understanding global changes in response to a specific stimulus. Thus our study provides insight in to the ocular surface response in conditions of inflammation and corneal wound healing where the levels of IL-1 are known to be increased.

Abstract
Although ultrathin bronchoscopes are suggested to have comparable abilities to conventional bronchoscopes in diagnosing peripheral lung lesions, how to introduce ultrathin bronchoscopes into bronchoscopic examination is still to be determined. In our first study, 35 patients with peripheral lung lesions underwent ultrathin followed by conventional bronchoscopy to compare their diagnostic abilities. The diagnostic rate was 54.3% in conventional bronchoscopy alone, 60.0% in ultrathin bronchoscopy alone, and 62.8% in the combination of the two. In the next study, we introduced a rapid cytology test of the material obtained in conventional bronchoscopy. When malignant cells were not detected in the material by the rapid cytology, ultrathin bronchoscopy was immediately conducted. Thirty-two patients with negative rapid cytology were enrolled in this study. Ultrathin bronchoscopy resulted in diagnostic materials in 59.3% of these cases. Ultrathin bronchoscopes showed better access to the lesions than a brush or a curette introduced through conventional bronchoscopes. We conclude that ultrathin bronchoscopes have a comparable ability to conventional ones in diagnosing peripheral lung cancer even when used alone, and become a good complement to conventional ones by introducing the rapid cytology test.

Abstract
The inflammatory chemokines interleukin-8, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, are reportedly involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although bronchiolar epithelial cells and macrophages are known to be the cellular sources, the relative contribution of each cell type remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we first quantified cytokine mRNA in human bronchiolar epithelial cells and macrophages obtained using laser-capture microdissection and explored the relationship with early-stage COPD. Only in bronchiolar epithelial cells were interleukin-8, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA levels higher in smokers with airflow limitation and/or emphysema than those in never-smokers or smokers without either airflow limitation or emphysema. No difference was observed in macrophages. Complementary DNA (cDNA) array further revealed the overexpression of CC chemokine receptor 2 in bronchiolar epithelial cells from smokers with airflow limitation and/or emphysema. This study supports the role of bronchiolar epithelium as the source of increased inflammatory chemokine levels in the early development of COPD and also demonstrates the potential use of laser-capture microdissection, combined with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and cDNA microarrays, to investigate functional profiles of individual structural and inflammatory cells in human lungs.

Abstract
It has been shown that structural changes in small airways of smokers with average smoking histories greater than 35 pack-years could be reflected in the single-breath washout test. The more sophisticated multiple breath washout test (MBW) has the potential to anatomically locate the affected small airways in acinar and conductive lung zones through increased phase III slope indices S(acin) and S(cond), respectively. Pulmonary function, S(acin), and S(cond) were obtained in 63 normal never-smokers and in 169 smokers classified according to smoking history (< 10 pack-years; 10-20 pack-years; 20-30 pack-years; > 30 pack-years). Compared with never-smokers, significant changes in S(acin) (p = 0.02), S(cond) (p < 0.001), and diffusing capacity (DL(CO); p < 0.001) were detected from greater than 10 pack-years onwards. Spirometric abnormality was significant only from greater than 20 pack-years onwards. In smokers with greater than 30 pack-years and DL(CO) less than 60% predicted, the presence of emphysema resulted in disproportionally larger S(acin) than S(cond) increases. We conclude that S(cond) and S(acin) can noninvasively detect airway changes from as early as 10 pack-years onwards, locating the earliest manifestations of smoking-induced small airways alterations around the acinar entrance. In these early stages, the associated DL(CO) decrease may be a reflection of ventilation heterogeneity rather than true parenchymal destruction. In more advanced stages of smoking-induced lung disease, differential patterns of S(acin) and S(cond) are characteristic of the presence of parenchymal destruction in addition to peripheral airways alterations.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Tobacco smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer. Less than 20% of smokers develop lung cancer in their lifetime, however, indicating individual variations in lung cancer risk. Pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by inflammatory cells have been associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. The IL1B gene, encoding IL-1beta cytokine, contains several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Two of these are in the promoter region, at positions -511 (C-T) and -31 (T-C). These polymorphisms have been associated with increased risk of developing a number of inflammatory diseases and gastric carcinoma. We genotyped the 2 polymorphisms in 251 non-small cell lung cancer patients from Norway and 272 healthy controls chosen from the general Norwegian population. The T allele at the -31 SNP (p = 0.01) and C allele at -511 SNP (p < 0.01) were over represented in lung cancer cases. The homozygote subjects were particularly at higher risk of lung cancer with odds ratio of 2.39 (95% CI = 1.29-4.44) for -31T/T and 2.51 (95% CI = 1.47-4.58) for -511C/C genotypes. In view of the significance of the p53 gene in lung carcinogenesis, we also analyzed the IL1B genotypes in relation to p53 mutations in the tumors. The results indicated that subjects having homozygote genotypes were more likely to have a mutation in the p53 gene (p = 0.05). This is the first study to provide evidence for an association of 1L1B gene polymorphisms with lung cancer risk.

Abstract
Airways exposed to smoke respond with inflammatory processes. The airway inflammation generally present in smokers causes persistent cough and phlegm production, reactive airway disease, and tissue infiltration by inflammatory cells. Although the short-term response may be protective, long-term pathological consequences include swelling of the airway epithelium, mucus hypersecretion, and increased airway reactivity characteristic of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive lung disease and the tissue destruction characteristic of emphysema. The natural history of these diseases is poorly understood, because human airway tissue is available for study only at autopsy, from surgical specimens, or from procedures such as bronchoscopy or thoracotomy. A noninvasive method of monitoring the inflammation is by analyzing expired breath condensate, which contains a diluted sample of airway surface liquid. The study of expired breath condensate may offer a more practical approach to sampling airway chemistry and make it possible to study the detailed inflammatory response to airborne particulates.

Abstract
We generated a three-dimensional (3-D) model of human airway tissues in order to study initiation of inhalational form of anthrax infection. The system was designed to model the air-blood barrier of the respiratory tract represented by epithelial cells and macrophages. When grown on collagen/fibronectin gel support at an air-liquid interface, airway epithelial cells formed cell layers morphologically resembling those in vivo. These preformed epithelial cell cultures were further supplemented with monocytes/macrophages isolated from human blood. After 2-5 days of co-culture, monocytes differentiated into a phenotype of resident macrophages, which was evaluated by the expression of specific cell surface markers. This model allowed sorting out the role of each type of cell found at the air surface of the lung. The interdependence of macrophages and epithelial cells in the clearance of anthrax spores from airways and the capacity of the airway epithelial cells to protect from anthrax infection was demonstrated.
