| Abstract |
BACKGROUND:The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on insulin transport in alveolar epithelial cells. METHODS:We first examined the effect of CSE pretreatment on cell viability, mRNA expression, and lamellar body structures in A549 cells. Then the effect of CSE pretreatment on FITC-insulin transport was examined. RESULTS:When A549 cells were treated with 30 μg/ml of CSE for 48 h, the expression of some mRNAs abundantly expressed in type II alveolar epithelial cells such as surfactant protein B was significantly increased. Lamellar bodylike structures became more evident with CSE treatment. FITC-insulin uptake from the apical side and subsequent efflux to the basal side was enhanced by CSE treatment in A549 cells. The enhancing effect of CSE on FITC-insulin uptake was concentration-dependent and reversible. A concentration-dependent enhancing effect of CSE on FITC-insulin uptake was also observed in normal, primary cultured alveolar type II epithelial cells isolated from rats. CONCLUSIONS:Treatment of A549 cells by CSE may direct the cells to a more type II-like phenotype. In accordance with this observation, FITC-insulin uptake was enhanced by CSE treatment. These results may partly explain the higher insulin absorption from the lung in smokers than in nonsmokers. |
