Preclinical studies may elucidate the meaning of biomarkers applicable to epidemiologic studies and to clinical trials for cancer prevention. No study has explored so far the effect of cigarette smoke on apoptosis in vivo. We evaluated modulation of apoptosis in cells of the respiratory tract of smoke-exposed Sprague-Dawley rats both by morphological analysis and TUNEL method. In a first study, exposure of rats to mainstream cigarette smoke for either 18 or 100 consecutive days produced a…

Smoke treatment may alter the levels of pro- and antiapoptogenic factors downstream of the mitochondria to inhibit active apoptosome formation, and cell death in response to cigarette smoke by necrosis and not apoptosis may be responsible for the loss of alveolar walls and inflammation observed in emphysema.

Intervention that promote a low-level increase in apoptotic cell death may be expected to protect genotypic and phenotypic stability with age and suggest that total caloric intake may modulate the rates of cell death and proliferation in a direction consistent with a cancer-protective effect in DR mice and acancer-promoting effect in AL mice.

AM apoptosis is occurring during BLM-induced lung injury in a manner that correlates with Murine strain sensitivity to BLM, and TNF-α secretion rather than p53 expression contributes to the difference in murine strain response to BLM.
