In Vitro Acute Effects of Tobacco Smoke on Tumor Necrosis Factor a and Interleukin-6 Production by Alveolar Macrophages

Abstract: Tobacco smoke is a usual form of oxidant aggression present in the domestic environment. In the present study, the in vitro acute effects of a 2-cigarette smoke gas phase were evaluated on cell viability and cytokine secretion by alveolar macrophages (AM) from guinea pigs and human healthy subjects. Cell injury was estimated immediately after smoke exposure by evaluation of ATP cell content (measured by bioluminescence) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release in the culture medium. LDH release was also measured… Show more

“…Cigarette smokers exhibit reduced SP-D levels (43), elevated MMP levels (44), and reduced alveolar macrophage CD14 levels (45). In addition, human alveolar macrophages in culture produced significantly less TNF-␣ and IL-6 after cigarette smoke exposure (46). This suggests MMP-12 may mediate reduction of alveolar macrophage CD14 and reduced macrophage cytokine production in smokers and other pulmonary diseases characterized by elevated MMPs.…”

“…A similar in vitro model was used to study cell injury, protein synthesis and cytokine production in alveolar macrophages [19]. In this study, the 1:15 diluted gas phase smoke of two cigarettes was blown over the cells cultured on a porous support.…”

“…Thus, the initiation of cytokine release in COPD is likely to be due to the direct effect of cigarette smoking, although, in general, the release of cytokines in COPD patients is higher than that in asymptomatic smokers. Cigarette smoke increases IL-8 gene expression and release by bronchial epithelial cells, and TNF-a and IL-6 by alveolar macrophages [28,29], and oxidants that are present in cigarette smoke cause the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and IL-8 from macrophages and epithelial cells. Exposure of lung epithelial cells to smoke extract causes the release of neutrophilic and monocytic chemotactic activities, with IL-8 and G-CSF accounting for the neutrophilic activity and MCP-1 for the monocytic activity [30].…”
