Abstract
Epidemiologic studies have shown consistent
associations between the exposure to particulate air
pollution and acute increase in morbidity and
mortality, especially for susceptible subjects with
pre-existing respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
However, the exact mechanism remains unclear.
Recent studies have shown that ultrafine particles
may have a greater inflammatory effect than larger
particles at the same mass concentration because of
larger surface area and oxidative stress. However,
the role of ultrafine particles on cardiopulmonary
events is not clear. The goal of this study was: (1) to
investigate the lung inflammation and oxidative stress in pulmonary hypertensive rats exposed to
polystyrene particles. (2) to evaluate the effect of
ultrafine carbon black on lung inflammation,
systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction
in STZ-diabetic rats. (3) to compare the lung
inflammation and oxidative stress between
spontaneously hypertensive rats and healthy SD rats.
(4) to investigate the oxidative stress formation in a
cell free system exposed to carbon black
nanoparticles. (5) to investigate the effect of
epithelium lining fluids (ELF) on ultrafine carbon
black-induced ROS generation and DNA single
strand breaks. Our results revealed that polystyrene
nanoparticles can induce greater lung inflammation
and injury and oxidative stress as compared to larger
particles. The outcome parameters and total surface
area were also highly correlated. Carbon black
nanoparticles induced lung inflammation in both
DM and non-DM rats, while abnormal endothelial
function was only observed in DM rats. We further
compared the lung inflammation and oxidative
stress between SHR and SD, and found that those
parameters were greater in SHR. In cell free system,
the amounts of ROS increased with exposure
concentration and exposure time. ELF significantly
decreased ROS and DNA SSB. Our results indicate
that nanoparticles can induce oxidative stress, which
may be related with subsequent cardiopulmonary
changes. The results also found that diseased
subjects were more susceptible to nanoparticles. It is
interesting to know that nanoparticles and diabetes
may share the common pathway leading to
cardiovascular events. We also find that cell free
system may be used to screen nanoparticles.
