Effect of 0.25 ppm Ozone exposure on pulmonary damage induced by bleomycin

Abstract: To study the effect of ozone in a chronically damaged lung, we used a bleomycin (BLM) induced pulmonary fibrosis model. Both endotracheal instillation of BLM and O 3 exposure both produce lung inflammation and fibrosis. Oxidative stress would be a common mechanism of damage for both BLM and O 3. Our aim was to assess lung injury induced by 5 and 60 days of intermittent exposure to 0.25 ppm O 3 in rats with bleomycininduced pulmonary fibrosis. Thirty-day-old Sprague Dawley rats were endotracheally instilled wit… Show more

“…Using an asthmatic phenotype modeled by allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract, effects of O 3 on pulmonary function have been found to be augmented by allergic sensitization in infant rhesus monkeys (Fanucchi et al 2006; Joad et al 2006; Schelegle et al 2003), mice (Funabashi et al 2004), and rats (Wagner et al 2007). In addition, in a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis rat model, exposure to O 3 increased pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, along with the frequency of bronchopneumonia (Oyarzún et al 2005). Thus, short-term O 3 exposure may also enhance damage in a previously injured lung.…”

“…Ozone has been also shown to have a strong killing effect on various bacteria and viruses and many other effects such as modulating Ca 2+ concentration in cells, enhancing the immune response, as well as the increase of oxygenation in the most poorly oxygenated tissue in patients with ischemic disorders. However, ozone was also previously reported to induce lung injury [25][26][27] . In our study, most observations were made within 2 h; it will remain to be explored whether or not the short-term use of ozone-containing HOS will further exaggerate lung injury induced by oleic acid with extended observation.…”

“…El estudio fue realizado por el patólogo (SGB), sin conocer el tratamiento recibido por cada especimen. El grado de inflamación fue evaluado con puntaje de 0 a 4 (0: ausente, 1: leve, 2: moderada, 3: intensa y 4: muy intensa) 22 . La presencia de macrófagos se evaluó con puntaje de 0 a 3 (0: ausente, 1: escasa, 2: moderada y 3: abundante).…”
