The effects of in vitro cotitine on nasal ciliary beat frequency

Abstract: Cotitine is one of the main metabolites of nicotine. It is stable and in vivo has a relatively long circulating half life. Nasal ciliated cells from non-smoking individuals were exposed in vitro to solutions of cotitine corresponding to serum levels in active and passive smokers. Ciliary beat frequency was measured by a computerized photometric technique. There was a significant drop in ciliary beat frequency compared with control ciliated cells in phosphate buffered saline. It is concluded that cotitine in ac… Show more

“…39 Various chemicals in cigarette smoke, including acrolein, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, nicotine, cotinine, acetaldehyde, phenol, and potassium cyanide, have been identified as having high toxicity to respiratory cilia. 14,40,41 Additionally, tobacco smoke exposure has been shown to increase several proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α 42,43 contributing to both epithelial and/or cilia shedding. However, our data suggest that compounds found within both the particulate and the gas fractions of tobacco smoke inhibit ciliogenesis.…”

“…Tobacco smoke exposure is considered an important negative prognostic factor for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and smoking has been demonstrated to increase the risk for CRS [ 9 ]. Tobacco smoke is composed of a complex mixture of over 5000 substances [ 274 ] and various chemicals in tobacco smoke have been identified as having high toxicity to respiratory cilia [ 275 277 ]. Additionally, tobacco smoke exposure has been shown to increase pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α contributing to harm respiratory mucosa [ 278 , 279 ].…”

“…Airway epithelial cell cilia are motile cilia, but these cilia have sensory functions and can respond to mechanical and chemical stimuli [56,57,58,59]. In bronchial explants of human respiratory mucosa, ciliary activity was significantly influenced by chemical (pH) and physical properties (viscosity) of the liquid medium in which the cilia beat [60].…”
