- Abstract
- Epidemiological studies indicate that cigarette smoke (CS) exposure is a risk factor for increased sensitization and asthma development. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of CS on sensitization and allergic airway inflammation, in response to a low dose of house dust mite (HDM), and to obtain potential mechanistic insights.Mice were exposed to low doses of HDM extract combined with air or CS exposure, either during allergen sensitization or during development of allergic airway disease.Mice concomitantly exposed to low dose HDM, combined with CS for 3 weeks, demonstrated an asthmatic phenotype with significantly increased airway eosinophilia, goblet cell metaplasia, airway hyperresponsiveness and a rise in HDM-specific serum IgG1, compared to sole HDM or CS exposure. In addition, short CS inhalation, during the initial contact with HDM allergens, was sufficient to facilitate sensitization and development of a complete asthmatic phenotype after rechallenge with HDM. Mechanistically, short CS exposure amplified DC-mediated transport of FITC-labelled HDM allergens to the intrathoracic lymph nodes and generated a local Th2 response.Short CS exposure is sufficient to facilitate allergic sensitization and the development of low dose HDM-induced allergic asthma, possibly through affecting dendritic cell function.
