Abstract

Cigarette smoking is a key factor in the development of numerous pulmonary diseases. An international group of clinicians, radiologists and pathologists evaluated patients with previously identified idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) to determine unique features of cigarette smoking. Phase 1 (derivation group) identified smoking-related features in patients with a history of smoking (n=41). Phase 2 (validation group) determined if these features correctly predicted the smoking status of IIP patients (n=100) to participants blinded to smoking history. Finally, the investigators sought to determine if a new smoking-related interstitial lung disease phenotype could be defined. Phase 1 suggested that preserved forced vital capacity with disproportionately reduced diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide, and various radiographic and histopathological findings were smoking-related features. In phase 2, the kappa coefficient among clinicians was 0.16 (95% CI 0.11-0.21), among the pathologists 0.36 (95% CI 0.32-0.40) and among the radiologists 0.43 (95% CI 0.35-0.52) for smoking-related features. Eight of the 100 cases were felt to represent a potential smoking-related interstitial lung disease. Smoking-related features of interstitial lung disease were identified in a minority of smokers and were not specific for smoking. This study is limited by its retrospective design, the potential for recall bias in smoking history and lack of information on second-hand smoke exposure. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between smoking and interstitial lung disease.

26. Alveolar type II-like cells release G-CSF as neutrophil chemotactic activity

Abstract

The potential of the A549 type II epithelial cell line to release granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as neutrophil chemotactic activity (NCA) was evaluated. It was demonstrated that A549 cells released G-CSF as NCA in response to interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, lipopolysaccharide and bradykinin. The expression of G-CSF mRNA was augmented in response to each stimulus. These suggested that alveolar type II cells may produce G-CSF as NCA and may participate in the regulation of neutrophil extravasation into the lung.

Abstract

Experiments were performed to investigate the capacity of the human lung fibroblast (HLF) to induce monocyte chemokinetic activity (MCA) through the release of the transforming growth factor-beta, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. The attenuation of the MCA and its lowest molecular weight peak was attributed to an LTB4-receptor antagonist. These findings emphasize the role of HLFs as modulators of monocyte recruitment in the lungs.

Abstract

The role of type II pneumocytes in the maintenance of host defense and alveolar immune environment was analyzed in A549 cell lines. Analysis of A549 cell supernatant fluids indicated the ability of type II pneumocytes to generate chemotactic factors that promote chemoattractant activity for monocytes in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, the A549 supernatant contained transforming growth factor-beta, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and leukotriene B4.
