“…In line to this, nicotine has been shown to reduce atopic disorders such as asthma and preeclampsia [30]. Mechanism of action in these cases may be, nicotine interfering with the inflammationrelated disease process, as nicotine has vaso-constrictive effects [31].…”

“…Another study (29) reported that higher expression of CD14 and TLR genes was related to protective factors (farming environments, endotoxin, extracellular polysaccharides) against the development of asthma and wheezing in children. Air pollutants such as those contained in environmental tobacco smoke present a considerable health problem to the general population, including non-smokers (16,(30)(31)(32). Some studies suggest that active and passive smoking present the risk of IgE sensitisation and atopic conditions, atopic rhinitis and dermatitis in particular (32,33).…”

The CD14 receptor is expressed on the surfaces of monocytes, macrophages, and, to a lesser extent, of activated granulocytes and B lymphocytes (mCD14). It also exists in soluble form in the serum (sCD14), in which it binds microbial compounds and indoor allergens. The objectives of this study were to see whether serum sCD14 concentrations could be used as a marker of atopic disorders and to estimate the effects of environmental factors (tobacco smoke exposure, childhood residence in urban or rural areas, and having a pet) on sCD14 and IgE values. Mass fraction of sCD14 and total IgE were determined in the sera of atopic (N=53) and non-atopic (N=35) participants using the standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Exposure to pets and environmental tobacco smoke was estimated based on the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire (ISAAC). Median sCD14 concentration was significantly lower in atopic than in non-atopic girls (3.49 vs. 3.83 μg mL -1 ; p<0.010). The number of smokers at home positively correlated with the sCD14 level in atopics, and urban atopics had significantly lower sCD14 levels than rural atopics (3.47 vs. 3.92 μg mL -1 , p=0.028). Median total IgE concentration was significantly lower in atopic pet owners than in atopics with no pets (161 vs. 252 kIU L -1 ; p=0.021). In conclusion, while sex and environmental factors might be involved in sCD14 expression, particularly in atopics, we found no correlation between sCD14 and total IgE concentrations. The usefulness of sCD14 as a marker of atopic disorders should be investigated further, particularly in relation to the severity of allergic disorders.KEY WORDS: allergy; atopy; environmental tobacco smoke; immunoglobulin E; sCD14; pets Prester Lj, et al.

“…The cytomorphological and functional integrity of these membranesis animportant element of the first line of defense against the effectsof unfavorable environmental factors associated with exposure to tobacco smoke [14][15][16]. Tobacco smoke can trigger allergic sensitization that directly affects immunoglobulin-E at the cellular level and can increase the permeability of the epithelium of the airways, further reducing its function as a protective barrier [17][18][19].…”

Objective: This study set out to investigate the relationship between molecular-genetic mechanisms that modulate cytokine in infants whose parents expose them to cigarette smoke and those that do not expose their infants to cigarette smoke with the possible effects on the severity of pneumonia at presentation to hospital. Methods:This cross sectional study recruited infants and parents from a regional Children's Hospital. The infants where classified into three groups:1. Where the infant was exposed to cigarette smoke through the mother directly (N = 50). 2. The mother did not smoke but the infant was exposed to tobacco smoke from the relatives in the family (N = 50). 3. The infant was in a family in which no one smoked. Analysis of genetic polymorphisms (regional frequencies) and determination of CRP and IgE concentrations were performed to investigate if exposure to cigarette smoke could be linked to the severity of pneumonia.Results: Exposure to cigarette smoke in infants changed the likelihood of the severity of pneumonia. The results suggest a possible link between the duration of clinical manifestation of pneumonia within infants that are exposed to cigarette smoke. Infants who are exposed to cigarette smoke had higher plasma concentrates in both IgE and CRP. Among infants with the mutant variant of the TNF-α (G-308A) gene, infants from households where both parents smoked or had a father who smoked had longer duration of clinical signs of pneumonia than did infants with no exposure to tobacco smoke. The plasma concentration of IgE in infants in families where one or both parents smoke was significantly higher than in infants with no smoke exposure. Conclusion:The study begins to develop evidence that if the newborn infant is exposed to tobacco smoke either directly from their mother or from others in the household including automobiles, the severity of pneumonia is increased. Both nurses and pediatricians should reinforce the consequences of smoke around the baby to all parents at every opportunity.
