Effects of Diesel Exhaust Particles on the Release of Interleukin-1 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha from Rat Alveolar Macrophages

Abstract: The effects of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) and their components (washed dust and methanol extracts) on the release of proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-I (IL-1), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by alveolar macrophages (AM) were investigated. Rat AM were incubated with 0, 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 micrograms/10(6) AM/mL of DEP, methanol-washed DEP, or equivalent concentrations of DEP methanol extracts at 37 degrees C for 24 h. AM-conditioned supernatants were collected and assayed for the activi… Show more

“…This suggests that PAHs, which are adsorbed on DEPs but not on carbon black particles, are responsible for the effects of DEPs. This observation is in agreement with previous reports, which have emphasized the specific PAHs' role in the DEPs activity in bronchial cells (9), macrophages (47), and ATII cells (24). This role of PAHs is corroborated by the observation that the catalysts that reduce the adsorbed organic compounds also reduce the DEPs-induced increase in cytokine secretion by bronchial cells (8).…”

“…Increases in IL-8 secretion by alveolar macrophages have also been noted after in vitro exposure to a dichloromethane extract of (standard) DEP; however, the intact DEP themselves (as well as carbon black) had no effect (Mundandhara et al, 2006). When cells were exposed to the particles or organic extract prior to LPS stimulation, levels of IL-1β, IL-8, and TNFα secretion were all seen to be decreased (Yang et al, 1997;Saito et al, 2002;Mundandhara et al, 2006). Similarly, LPS-induced stimulation of IL-10 formation was reduced by exposure to DEP (Inoue et al, 2007).…”

“…Indeed, the production of IL-1β by alveolar macrophages was increased when these types of cells were exposed to DEP or the extracts. Interestingly, this effect was not observed for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) secretion (Yang et al, 1997;Saito et al, 2002). Increases in IL-8 secretion by alveolar macrophages have also been noted after in vitro exposure to a dichloromethane extract of (standard) DEP; however, the intact DEP themselves (as well as carbon black) had no effect (Mundandhara et al, 2006).…”

“…Several cell types are involved in allergen sensitization and asthma pathogenesis, including antigenpresenting cells (APC), T-helper 2 (Th2) lymphocytes, IgE-secreting plasma cells, mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, mucus-secreting goblet cells, smooth muscle and endothelial cells. DEP can directly impact a number of the cells that play a role in the afferent or efferent immune response [25,[81][82][83][84][85][86][87]. Traditional adjuvants exert their effects on the afferent or early phase of the immune response, which implies possible effects on antigen presenting cells (APC) [88,89].…”
