Ozone is an environmental pollutant with potent oxidizing properties. We investigated whether exposure to ozone-induced cell proliferation in the lungs of rats, and determined the effect of an antioxidant and of a glucocorticosteroid in Brown-Norway (BN) rats. Following single ozone exposure (0.5, 1.0, or 3.0 ppm for 6 h), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression, as determined with immunohistochemistry, was significantly increased in the bronchial epithelium and alveolar epithelium as compared with controls exposed to filtered air with a maximal effect at 24 to 48 h (p < 0.001). Apocynin (5 mg/kg, orally), a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor, reduced the PCNA index in bronchial epithelium induced by ozone (3 ppm, 6 h) from 11.5 +/- 1.3% (percent of nuclear cells expressing PCNA) to 4.4 +/- 1.3% (mean +/- SEM; p < 0.05). Dexamethasone (3 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) also reduced the PCNA index in bronchial epithelium, from 19.2 +/- 2.3% to 10.9 +/- 2.6% (p < 0.05). Dexamethasone but not apocynin inhibited ozone-induced neutrophil influx. Rats exposed repeatedly to ozone (3.0 ppm, 3 h, on three occasions 48 h apart) expressed a lower PCNA index in bronchial epithelium than did rats exposed only once at 1.9 +/- 0.7% versus 6.0 +/- 0.9%, respectively (p < 0.05). The proliferative epithelial response following a single exposure to ozone is modulated through oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms probably involving neutrophils. |
