3-D nasal cultures: Systems toxicological assessment of a candidate modified-risk tobacco product (nasal epithelial cells-microRNA dataset).

ABSTRACT: In vitro toxicology approaches have evolved, from a focus on the molecular changes within a cell to understanding of toxicity-related mechanisms that simulate the in vivo environment. The recent development of three dimensional (3-D) organotypic nasal epithelial culture models offer a physiologically robust system for studying the effects of exposure through inhalation. Exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) is associated with nasal inflammation; thus the nasal epithelium is relevant for evaluating the pathophysiological impact of CS exposure. The present study investigated further the relevancy and application of in vitro human 3-D nasal epithelial culture models for toxicological assessment of inhalation exposure. The biological impact was assessed following exposure to aerosol generated from a candidate modified risk tobacco product (MRTP), the Tobacco Heating System (THS) 2.2, as compared with smoke generated from reference cigarette 3R4F using an in vitro human 3-D nasal epithelial cultures. A series of experimental repetitions where multiple doses of the aerosol and smoke were applied, were conducted to obtain reproducible measurements and reliable observations to understand the cellular/molecular changes that occur following exposure. Aligned with the 3Rs Strategy and the Vision-and-Strategy of the Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century, this study implemented a systems toxicology approach and found that for all tested concentrations, the impact of 3R4F smoke was considerably greater than that of THS2.2 aerosol in terms of cytotoxicity levels, alterations in the tissue morphology, secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators, impaired ciliary function, and increased perturbed transcriptomes and miRNA expression profiles. In addition, to evaluate further the possible adverse effects of THS2.2 aerosol, a dose range assessment was conducted. A broader range of THS2.2 concentrations were exposed to the nasal cultures. Various dilutions of THS2.2 were applied to the cultures using the Vitrocell® 24/48 exposure system, corresponding to the concentrations of nicotine between 0.15 mg/L and 1.79 mg/L.

Project description:The objective of the study was to characterize the toxicity due to sub-chronic inhalation of test atmospheres from the heat not burn modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) - Tobacco Heating System version 2.2 (THS2.2) and to compare it to the toxicity inherent to the inhalation of mainstream smoke (MS) from the Reference Cigarette 3R4F (University_of_Kentucky, 2003). The 90-day nose-only inhalation study on Sprague-Dawley rats was performed according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Test Guideline 413 (OECD, 2009), with special emphasis on histopathology of the respiratory tract, lung inflammation and additional systems toxicology-based assessment using transcriptomics. Animals were exposed to mainstream smoke from 3R4F reference cigarettes or THS2.2 mainstream aerosol at 3 target nicotine concentrations. The exposure regimen consisted of 6 hours a day, 5 days per week for 13 weeks, followed by 42 days recovery period. Exposure-related changes such as increased blood neutrophil count, decreased blood lymphocyte count, increased activity of alkaline phosphatase in serum and decreased cholesterol and glucose in serum were observed in 3R4F and THS2.2 exposed animals. Reduction in respiratory minute volume was significantly less pronounced in THS2.2 as compared to 3R4F-exposed groups. Histopathological findings in the respiratory tract including epithelial cell hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, atrophy and accumulation of pigmented alveolar macrophages were significantly lower in THS2.2 than in 3R4F exposed groups. The degree of lung inflammation as indicated by accumulation of immune cells and pro-inflammatory and chemotactic cytokines in bronchioalveolar lavage fluid were significantly lower in THS2.2 as compared to 3R4F exposed groups. Transcriptomics data obtained from nasal epithelium and lung parenchyma showed concentration-dependent gene expression changes following 3R4F exposure that were much less pronounced in the THS2.2-exposed groups. In summary, the data indicates that the aerosol from THS2.2 did not cause additional toxicity as compared to the smoke from the 3R4F conventional cigarette. The toxicity on respiratory tract organs in THS2.2 exposed animals was much lower than in the rats exposed to 3R4F reference cigarette. Overall, the changes observed following exposure to THS2.2 can be considered mild and are very similar to previously published effects caused by nicotine only exposure at similar test atmosphere concentrations.

Project description:Besides its well-known effects increasing predisposition to oral cancer, cigarette smoke (CS) exposure is an important risk factor for many conditions including periodontal diseases, gingivitis and other benign mucosal disorders. Smoking cessation remains the most effective approach for minimizing risk of smoking-related diseases. However, reduction of harmful constituents by heating rather than combusting tobacco, without modifying the amount of nicotine, is a promising new paradigm in harm reduction. In this study we compared effects of exposure to aerosol derived from a candidate modified risk tobacco product, the tobacco heating system (THS) 2.2, with those of conventional smoke generated from the 3R4F reference cigarette. Human organotypic oral epithelial tissue cultures (EpiOralï¾, MatTek Corporation) were exposed for 28 min to 3R4F CS or THS2.2 aerosol, both diluted with air to comparable nicotine concentrations (0.32 or 0.51 mg nicotine/L aerosol/smoke for 3R4F and 0.31 or 0.46 mg/L for THS2.2). We also tested one higher concentration (1.09 mg/L) of THS2.2. A systems toxicology approach was employed combining cellular assays (i.e. cytotoxicity and cytochrome P450 activity assays), comprehensive molecular investigations of the buccal epithelial transcriptome (mRNA and miRNA) by means of computational network biology, measurements of secreted proinflammatory markers, histopathological analysis. We observed that the impact of 3R4F CS was greater than THS2.2 aerosol in terms of cytotoxicity, morphological tissue alterations and secretion of inflammatory mediators. Analysis of the transcriptomic changes in the exposed oral cultures revealed significant perturbations in various network models such as apoptosis, necroptosis, senescence, xenobiotic metabolism, oxidative stress and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2) signaling. The stress responses following THS2.2 aerosol exposure were markedly decreased and the exposed cultures recovered better as compared with those exposed to 3R4F CS.
