Initial Award Abstract
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is defined as the combination of sidestream smoke released from the burning end of a cigarette and that portion of mainstream smoke exhaled by smokers. Health effects associated with exposure to ETS have been clearly demonstrated, but still remain somewhat controversial. In 1993 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency declared environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) to be a human carcinogen that kills approximately 3,000 nonsmokers a year. Young children are also affected by ETS exposure with increases in the incidence of pneumonia, bronchitis and middle ear infection. For children with asthma, ETS exposure increases the severity and frequency of asthmatic attacks. However, the cause(s) for greater and more adverse health risks associated with ETS exposure in children compared with adults is (are) unknown. We propose to study in our laboratory the effects of exposure to ETS on the maturation and function of the lung airways during fetal and early postnatal development in monkeys. This species is ideal to study due to its high degree of similarity in development and anatomy to that of humans. We have found that exposure to ETS during the fetal and early postnatal periods is associated with a significant increase in airway narrowing, similar to that seen in asthmatic children. Also associated with these hyperactive airways is a dramatic increase in pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs), rare epithelial cells lining the lung airways. The function of these cells is unknown; however, they are thought to be important in the lungs’ response to substances that are inhaled; it is our hypothesis that PNECs may be directly responsible for the increased airway reactivity noted in the lungs of asthmatic patients. We propose to test this hypothesis in monkeys using ETS exposures during critical periods of lung growth and development. An important observation from our laboratory has been that rodents exposed to ETS in utero (via the mother) and then directly exposed to ETS after birth, have lungs that are markedly hyperresponsive (i.e., overly reactive to inhaled compounds) compared with rodents exposed only to filtered air. To better extrapolate these findings to humans, we will repeat these studies using monkeys. The changes previously observed in rodents are highly analogous to anatomical changes that precede the development of childhood asthma in humans. Extension of these studies in monkeys affords us the opportunity to examine critical periods of lung development when exposure to ETS may result in increased airway hyperresponsiveness and whether changes in airway PNEC number and/or function might be responsible for these observed changes.
