Abstract

High levels of ambient air pollution are associated with exacerbation of asthma and respiratory morbidity, yet little is known concerning the mechanisms of inflammation and toxicity by components of inhaled particulate matter (PM). Brief inhalation of PM(2.5) (particles of an aerodynamic diameter of < 2.5 microns) (300 microg/m(3) air for 6 h followed by a period of 24 h in clean air) by either C3H/HeJ or C57/BL6 mice caused significant (P </= 0.05) increases in steady-state messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of a number of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB-associated and/ or -regulated genes, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha and -beta, interleukin-6, interferon-gamma, and transforming growth factor-beta. Lung mRNA levels of lymphotoxin-beta and macrophage migration inhibitory factor were unchanged. In murine C10 alveolar cells and an NF-kappaB-luciferase reporter cell line, exposure to PM(2.5) at noncytotoxic concentrations resulted in increases in transcriptional activation of NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression which were inhibited in the presence of catalase. Early and persistent increases in intracellular oxidants, as measured by flow cytometry and cell imaging using the oxidant probe 2'-7'-dichlorofluoroscin diacetate, were observed in epithelial cells exposed to PM(2.5) and ultrafine carbon black particles. Studies here are the first to show NF-kappaB-related inflammatory and cytokine gene expression after inhalation of PM(2.5) and oxidant-dependent induction of NF-kappaB activity by PM(2.5) in pulmonary epithelial cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
