Role of the protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) in the exacerbation of house dust mite-induced murine allergic lung disease by multi-walled carbon nanotubes

PARTICLE AND FIBRE TOXICOLOGY, 20(1).

By: H. Lee n, D. You n, A. Taylor-Just n, L. Tisch n, R. Bartone n, H. Atkins n, L. Ralph*, S. Antoniak *, J. Bonner n 

author keywords: Carbon nanotubes; Allergens; Protease-activated receptor 2; Lung; Inflammation; Fibrosis
TL;DR: This study indicates that protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) mediates airway fibrosis but not eosinophilic lung inflammation induced by co-exposure to MWCNTs and HDM allergens. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 journal article

Synergistic induction of IL-6 production in human bronchial epithelial cells in vitro by nickel nanoparticles and lipopolysaccharide is mediated by eSTAT3 and C/EBP beta

TOXICOLOGY IN VITRO, 83.

By: D. You n, H. Lee n, A. Taylor-Just n & J. Bonner n 

author keywords: Nanoparticles; Nickel; Lipopolysaccharide; Cytokines; Cell signaling; Epithelial cells
MeSH headings : Animals; CCAAT-Enhancer-Binding Protein-beta / metabolism; Cell Line; Epithelial Cells; Female; Humans; Interleukin-6 / genetics; Interleukin-6 / metabolism; Lipopolysaccharides / pharmacology; Male; Mice; Nanoparticles; Nickel; STAT3 Transcription Factor / metabolism
TL;DR: The data suggest that LPS and NiNPs induce IL-6 via STAT3 and C/EBPβ in BEAS-2B cells, and that these cells do not appear to be suitable for studying the effect of sex hormones. (via Semantic Scholar)

2021 journal article

STAT6-dependent exacerbation of house dust mite-induced allergic airway disease in mice by multi-walled carbon nanotubes

NANOIMPACT, 22.

By: M. Ihrie n, K. Duke n, K. Shipkowski n, D. You n, H. Lee n, A. Taylor-Just n, J. Bonner n 

author keywords: Carbon nanotubes; House dust mite; Allergens; STAT6; Asthma
MeSH headings : Animals; Antigens, Dermatophagoides / adverse effects; Asthma / chemically induced; Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus; Fibrosis; Hypersensitivity / metabolism; Immunoglobulin E; Lung; Male; Metaplasia / chemically induced; Mice; Mice, Knockout; Nanotubes, Carbon / adverse effects; Pulmonary Eosinophilia / chemically induced; Pulmonary Fibrosis / chemically induced; Respiration Disorders / chemically induced; STAT6 Transcription Factor / genetics
TL;DR: Findings provide new mechanistic insight by demonstrating a requirement for STAT6 in MWCNT-induced exacerbation of allergic respiratory disease by demonstrating that airway fibrosis was significantly increased by the combination of HDM and M WCNTs in WT mice but not in Stat6 KO mice.

By: D. You n, H. Lee n & J. Bonner n 

author keywords: Macrophage; Nanomaterial; Toll-like receptors; Scavenger receptors; Reactive oxygen species; Inflammasome; Polarization
TL;DR: The immune response of macrophages to ENMs, including inflammasome activation and alternative polarization, plays important roles in immune-mediated diseases such as fibrosis, asthma, and cancer. (via Semantic Scholar)

Sex differences in the acute and subchronic lung inflammatory responses of mice to nickel nanoparticles

NANOTOXICOLOGY, 14(8), 1058–1081.

By: D. You n, H. Lee n, A. Taylor-Just n, K. Linder n & J. Bonner n 

author keywords: Nickel nanoparticles; inflammation; lung; sex; susceptibility
MeSH headings : Animals; Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid / cytology; Chemokine CXCL1 / metabolism; Female; Humans; Inhalation Exposure; Interleukin-6 / metabolism; Lung / drug effects; Lung / immunology; Lung / pathology; Male; Metal Nanoparticles / toxicity; Mice; Mice, Inbred C57BL; Neutrophils / cytology; Neutrophils / drug effects; Nickel / toxicity; Pneumonia / chemically induced; Pneumonia / pathology; STAT Transcription Factors / metabolism; Sex Characteristics; Signal Transduction; Toxicity Tests, Acute; Toxicity Tests, Subchronic
TL;DR: Sex differences in the lung inflammatory response of mice to NiNPs that has implications for human disease are demonstrated and indicate that susceptibility of males to acute lung inflammation involves enhanced neutrophilia with increased CXCL1 and IL-6/STAT3 signaling, whereas susceptibility to subchronic lunginflammation involves enhanced monocytic infiltration withIncreased CXcl1 and CCL2.
