Cigarette Smoke-Induced Oxidative Stress and Autophagy in Human Alveolar Epithelial Cell Line (A549 Cells).
ADVANCES IN BIOMEDICINE(2019)
摘要
Chronic exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) causes structural and functional changes in the respiratory tract. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and systemic pulmonary diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute CS exposure (2 h) on oxidative stress, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expression, autophagy (LC3 expression), and oxidative stress (DCF fluorescence) in human alveolar epithelial cell line A549. Cell culture medium was conditioned with CS using commercial cigarettes, and A549 cells were grown in modified media for 2 h. In some experiments, A549 cells were pretreated with 100 mu M of L-buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO) for 24 h to induce glutathione (GSH) depletion. In the cells grown in CS-conditioned medium, GSH was depleted by more than 30%, and reactive oxygen species were increased. Moreover, there was a considerable overexpression of HSP70 and a substantial accumulation of LC3. Similar changes were found when the cells were pretreated with BSO. We conclude that the short-term exposure of epithelial cells to CS increases oxidative stress that entails enhanced autophagy activity.
