项目摘要

Polydrug abuse (especially alcohol use disorder, AUD, and smoking) are known individually to compromise the lung alveolar-endothelial barrier (AEB) and the blood brain barrier (BBB). Very limited knowledge exists regarding damage in lung and brain due to electronic cigarettes (e-Cig) in combination with AUD. E-Cig have become popular, yet very limited data indicate that they cause endothelial dysfunction and result in a pro-inflammatory phenotype in macrophages and endothelium in lungs. While e-Cig are known to be addictive, their effects on the brain and cognition are essentially unknown. Our data show that chronic e-Cig exposure in mice enhanced permeability of the BBB and neuroinflammation, diminished expression of a key glucose transporter and tight junction protein on brain endothelium, and impaired cognition. Preliminary data indicate that the combination of alcohol/e-Cig exposure in vivo caused enhanced AEB permeability and amplified neuroinflammation/BBB compromise. We found that e-Cig and alcohol impair AEB and BBB via the same mechanism including mitochondrial dysfunction, Ca2+ accumulation, and ATP extracellular release, potentially mediated by purinergic receptor, P2X7, in cellular components of AEB/BBB. Using innovative in vitro 3D systems of AEB and BBB and relevant animal models, we test the hypothesis that BBB and AEB injury in e-Cig/alcohol exposure are mediated through the P2X7 receptor. In aim 1, we will screen the magnitude of injury (mitochondrial dysfunction, Ca2+ increase and ATP release) by various types of e-Cig in combination with alcohol on human brain and lung endothelial and lung epithelial cells. Then, we will define mechanisms of demise using innovative 3D in vitro constructs of lung and brain microvasculature, functional assays, assessment of mitochondrial functions and expression of key molecules supporting BBB and AEB. We will investigate the contribution of activation of the purinergic P2X7 receptor in e-Cig/alcohol induced BBB/AEB dysfunction. The 2nd aim will study in vivo lung injury after chronic alcohol feeding and e-Cig vaping evaluating AEB permeability, expression of barrier supporting molecules, inflammatory responses (immunohistochemistry, protein/mRNA, bronchoalveolar lavage). P2X7 knockout (KO) animals will allow dissection of the role of this receptor in pulmonary dysfunction. The 3rd aim will decipher combined in vivo effects of BBB function, expression of barrier-mediating molecules, and neuroinflammation. The same experiments performed in P2X7 KO mice will determine the importance of this pathway in CNS injury. Markers of lung injury and BBB damage will be measured in blood and correlated with signs of end-organ pathology.

众所周知，多种药物滥用（尤其是酒精使用障碍、澳元和吸烟）会导致损害肺泡内皮屏障（AEB）和血脑屏障（BBB）。非常关于电子烟 (e-Cig) 对肺和大脑造成的损害的了解有限与澳元结合。电子烟已变得流行，但非常有限的数据表明它们引起内皮功能障碍并导致巨噬细胞产生促炎表型肺内皮细胞。虽然众所周知电子烟会让人上瘾，但它们对大脑和认知本质上是未知的。我们的数据显示，小鼠长期接触电子烟血脑屏障和神经炎症的通透性增强，关键蛋白的表达减少脑内皮上的葡萄糖转运蛋白和紧密连接蛋白，以及认知受损。初步数据表明，体内酒精/电子烟暴露的组合导致增强的 AEB 通透性和放大的神经炎症/BBB 损害。我们发现电子烟和酒精通过相同的机制（包括线粒体）损害 AEB 和 BBB 功能障碍、Ca2+ 积累和 ATP 细胞外释放，可能由以下因素介导 AEB/BBB 细胞成分中的嘌呤能受体 P2X7。使用创新的体外 3D AEB和BBB系统以及相关动物模型，我们检验了BBB和BBB的假设电子烟/酒精暴露中的 AEB 损伤是通过 P2X7 受体介导的。在目标 1 中，我们将通过以下方式筛选损伤程度（线粒体功能障碍、Ca2+ 增加和 ATP 释放）各类电子烟与酒精结合对人脑、肺内皮和肺的影响上皮细胞。然后，我们将使用创新的 3D 体外技术定义死亡机制肺和脑微脉管系统的构建、功能测定、线粒体评估支持 BBB 和 AEB 的关键分子的功能和表达。我们将调查电子烟/酒精诱导的 BBB/AEB 中嘌呤能 P2X7 受体激活的贡献功能障碍。第二个目标是研究长期饮酒和电子烟后的体内肺损伤电子烟评估 AEB 渗透性、屏障支持分子的表达、炎症反应（免疫组织化学、蛋白质/mRNA、支气管肺泡灌洗）。 P2X7淘汰赛 (KO) 动物将允许解剖该受体在肺功能障碍中的作用。第三个目标将破译 BBB 功能、屏障介导表达的组合体内效应分子和神经炎症。在 P2X7 KO 小鼠中进行的相同实验将确定该途径在中枢神经系统损伤中的重要性。肺损伤和 BBB 标志物将在血液中测量损伤并与终末器官病理学迹象相关。
