Abstract
Cigarette smoking (CS) was reported to induce the risk of renal diseases. However, heated tobacco product (HTP), a modified risk tobacco product, was claimed to reduce exposure risk, its health risk of kidney was still unclear. In this study, subchronic inhalation toxicity of HTP aerosols for 90 days was performed to assess its health risk of kidney. The nose-only exposure experiments were performed with SD rats. All the rats were randomly divided into sham, HTP (HTP_10, HTP_23, and HTP_50), and CS (Cig_23) groups. After exposure, the blood and kidney were prepared to detect its redox state, biomarkers in the early injury, apoptosis, and histopathology. The results showed that HTP and cigarette smoke both induced the expression of biomarkers including kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, interleukin 18, and oxidative stress. For biochemical markers associated with kidney function, CS induced increased creatinine and urea for female rats and uric acid decreased, while HTP exposure only induced the upregulation of creatinine. Moreover, no obvious apoptosis and pathology of kidney were observed after HTP exposure, which indicated that HTP exposure may induce some biomarkers in the early stage of kidney injury without more serious changes. Overall, these results suggested that HTP with high concentration exposure showed potential slight health risks of kidney.
期刊介绍:
Drug and Chemical Toxicology publishes full-length research papers, review articles and short communications that encompass a broad spectrum of toxicological data surrounding risk assessment and harmful exposure. Manuscripts are considered according to their relevance to the journal.
Topics include both descriptive and mechanics research that illustrates the risk assessment implications of exposure to toxic agents. Examples of suitable topics include toxicological studies, which are structural examinations on the effects of dose, metabolism, and statistical or mechanism-based approaches to risk assessment. New findings and methods, along with safety evaluations, are also acceptable. Special issues may be reserved to publish symposium summaries, reviews in toxicology, and overviews of the practical interpretation and application of toxicological data.
