Project description:E-cigarette use (vaping) has become widespread, and its effects on airway inflammation and disease are not fully delineated. E-cigarette vapor extract (EVE) profoundly affects neutrophil function. We hypothesized that EVE also alters eosinophil function and thus could impact allergic airways disease. We employed RNA-sequencing to measure the ex vivo effect of EVE components on human eosinophil transcription. Eosinophils from 7 non-vaping subjects without asthma were isolated by negative selection from venous blood. Cells were incubated for 48 hours with EVE consisting of glycerin, propylene glycol and nicotine (EVE+), EVE without nicotine (“EVE-”), Extract Buffer (EB), and untreated media. Bulk RNA-sequencing was performed. Principal component analysis revealed that the EVE+ and EVE- conditions clustered closely together. Differential gene expression analysis revealed a “negative regulation of interferon gamma production” and “apoptotic mitochondrial changes” pathways for genes upregulated in EVE- samples and a down regulation of “inflammatory response” and “chemokine signaling” in comparison to the EB control condition. 93 genes were differentially expressed genes between EVE+ and EVE-, indicating a relatively small effect of nicotine on eosinophil gene expression. These results demonstrate that EVE significantly alters eosinophil gene expression, predominantly mediated by propylene glycol and glycerin rather than by nicotine. This study motivates further research into the pathogenic effects of vaping on airway eosinophils and allergic airways disease.

Project description:While the toxicity of the main constituents of electronic cigarette (ECIG) liquids, nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG), has been assessed individually in separate studies, limited data on the inhalation toxicity of them is available when in mixtures. In this 90-day subchronic inhalation study, Sprague-Dawley rats were nose-only exposed to filtered air, nebulized vehicle (saline), or three concentrations of PG/VG mixtures, with and without nicotine. Standard toxicological endpoints were complemented by molecular analyses using transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics. Compared with vehicle exposure, the PG/VG aerosols showed only very limited biological effects with no signs of toxicity. Addition of nicotine to the PG/VG aerosols resulted in effects in line with nicotine effects observed in previous studies, including up-regulation of xenobiotic enzymes (Cyp1a1/Fmo3) in the lung and metabolic effects, such as reduced serum lipid concentrations and expression changes of hepatic metabolic enzymes. No toxicologically relevant effects of PG/VG aerosols (up to 1.520mg PG/L + 1.890mg VG/L) were observed, and no adverse effects for PG/VG/nicotine were observed up to 438/544/6.7mg/kg/day. This study demonstrates how complementary systems toxicology analyses can reveal, even in the absence of observable adverse effects, subtoxic and adaptive responses to pharmacologically active compounds such as nicotine.

Project description:Propylene glycol (PG) is a common carrier in e-vapor formulations and its properties have been extensively studied. In this 13-week subchronic nose-only inhalation study, Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to filtered air (sham control group), propylene glycol/water (PG/W; 90:10) or a propylene glycol/vegetable glycerin/water (PG/VG/W; 50:40:10) reference. The reference containing vegetable glycerin group was added at the high dose to observe any changes that might be associated with a carrier more in line with e-vapor products. The objectives of this study were to increase the PG exposure above the concentrations tested by Suber et al. and use a systems toxicology analysis of lung tissue to further our understanding of molecular events after PG exposures (Suber et al. 1989). Macroscopic examinations at necropsy as well as terminal organ weights revealed no observations that were associated with exposure to PG/W or reference. Food consumption and body weights were unaffected by PG/W or reference when compared to the sham. No exposure related alterations were observed in serum chemistry, hematology, coagulation, urinalysis or BALF cytology and clinical chemistry. Although clinical observations of dried red material around the nose in the high dose PG/W group were reported, histopathology of the nasal cavity showed no nasal hemorrhaging. There were non-adverse PG/W and reference related findings of minimal mucus cell hyperplasia noted in nasal cavity section II. These findings were considered non-adverse as they were also found to a lesser extent in the filtered air controls. No other exposure-related findings were noted in the primary or recovery necropsies. A systems toxicology analysis on lung tissue showed no statistically-significant differentially expressed transcripts or proteins compared to the sham group. The endpoints measured from the PG/W high dose group did not differ significantly from those in the more common carrier PG/VG/W. Accordingly, the highest PG exposure (5 mg/L, 6 hrs/day) was regarded as the no observed adverse effect concentration (NOAEC), corresponding to a PG delivered dose of 1,152 mg/kg/day in rats.

Project description:Smoking cigarettes is harmful to the cardiovascular system. Considerable attention has been paid to the reduced harm potential of alternative nicotine-containing inhalable products such as e-cigarettes. We investigated the effects of E-vapor aerosols or cigarette smoke (CS) on atherosclerosis progression, cardiovascular function, and molecular changes in the heart and aorta of female ApoE−/− mice. The mice were exposed to aerosols from three different E-vapor formulations: (1) carrier (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol), (2) base (carrier and nicotine) or (3) test (base and flavor) or to CS from 3R4F reference cigarettes for up to 6 months. Concentrations of CS and base or test aerosols were matched at 35 µg nicotine/L. Exposure to CS, compared with sham-exposed fresh air controls, accelerated atherosclerotic plaque formation, while no such effect was seen for any of the three E-vapor aerosols. Molecular changes indicated disease mechanisms related to oxidative stress and inflammation in general, plus changes in calcium regulation, and altered cytoskeletal organization and microtubule dynamics in the left ventricle. While ejection fraction, fractional shortening, cardiac output, and isovolumic contraction time remained unchanged following E-vapor aerosols exposure, the nicotine-containing base and test aerosols caused an increase in isovolumic relaxation time similar to CS. A nicotine-related increase in pulse wave velocity and arterial stiffness was also observed, but it was significantly lower for base and test aerosols than for CS. These results demonstrate that in comparison with CS, E-vapor aerosols induce substantially lower biological responses associated with smoking-related cardiovascular diseases.

Project description:The main constituents of electronic cigarette liquids are nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerin (VG), together with distilled water and flavors. To assess the toxicity of PG/VG mixtures with and without nicotine as basic components of liquids used in e-cigarettes, a 90-day rat inhalation study according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development test guideline 413 was conducted. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were nose-only exposed, 6?h/day, 5 days/week to filtered air, or nebulized vehicle (saline), or three concentrations of PG/VG (0.174 mg PG/l + 0.210 mg VG/l; 0.520 mg PG/l + 0.630 mg VG/l; 1.520 mg PG/l + 1.890 mg VG/l) � with (test item) and without (reference item) 23 �g nicotine/L. Standard toxicological endpoints were complemented by molecular analyses using transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics. Compared to vehicle exposure, the tested PG/VG aerosols showed only very limited biological effects with no signs of toxicity, both for the standard toxicological endpoints (e.g., histopathology, clinical chemistry) and the systems toxicological analyses (transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics). The addition of nicotine to the PG/VG aerosols (23 �g/l) resulted in effects in line with nicotine effects in previous studies. These included up-regulation of xenobiotic enzymes (Cyp1a1 and Fmo3) in the lung and metabolic effects, e.g., reduction in serum lipid concentrations and changes in the expression of metabolic enzymes in the liver. Signs of a generalized stress response to nicotine exposure such as decreased thymus weights were observed; and likely, a subset of the observed metabolic alterations was interlinked with this generalized stress response. Under the conditions of this 90-day SD rat inhalation study, no toxicologically relevant effects of PG/VG aerosols (up to 1.520 mg PG/l + 1.890 mg VG/l) were observed, and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for PG/VG/nicotine was determined to be 438/544/6.7 mg/kg/day. Further the study demonstrated how complementary systems toxicology analyses can reveal, also in the absence of observable adverse effects, subtoxic and adaptive responses to pharmacologically active compounds such as nicotine.

Project description:Nicotine and cigarette smoking have been previously shown to inhibit the differentiation potential and miRNA expression of human periodontal ligament derived stem cells (PDLSCs). Electronic cigarette (EC) vapor also contains nicotine, as well as other non-nicotine compounds, and, like cigarette smoking, EC vaping results in similar routes of toxic exposure for PDLSCs. The effect of exposure on PDLSC miRNA expression is unknown. To determine these effects, cultured PDLSCs were exposed to media supplemented with 1 uM nicotine EC vapor extract for 72h, during which media was changed every 24h. To produce vapor extract, an EC filled with 36 mg/ml nicotine, 50%/50% (w/v) PG/VG, non-flavored e-liquid (American E-liquid) was vaped using an automated vaping robot programmed with experienced e-cigarette user patterns (i.e. puff volume: 70 ml, duration: 3s, frequency: 20s) and resulting vapor was extracted via a liquid impinger. 1 uM of pure (-)-nicotine liquid (Sigma Aldrich) was used as a positive control. Total miRNA was collected with the mirVana miRNA isolation kit. miRNA concentration and quality was measured by spectrophotometry and expression was analyzed with Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Arrays. Results were normalized against human-positive and negative chip controls using Robust Multi-Array Average Normalization.
