摘要
Background: Carpet dust exposure in the carpet industry causes various respiratory hazards that lead to permanent loss of lung function. This study investigated the potentially toxic effects of knotted and tufted carpet dust on rat lungs and the possible involvement of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) pathways in the induced toxicity, as well as histological changes in the lung induced by carpet dust.Methods: This study divided 48 adult rats into six groups: group I was the control group, group II (vehicle group) received phosphate buffer saline (50 µL/rat), groups III and IV received knotted dust (2.5 and 5 mg/kg, respectively), and groups V and VI received tufted dust (2.5 and 5 mg/kg, respectively). All treatments were intranasally administered once a day for 7 days.Results: Both dust types significantly decreased the lung content of GSH compared with the control. Significantly elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) lung contents were observed with an increased CYP2E1, interleukin (IL)-6, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κβ), and ERK/MAPK. The histological lung structure was moderately affected with a moderately increased number of CD68-positive macrophages in the lung parenchyma of knotted dust-exposed rats, whereas tufted dust exposure severely affected the lung tissue with significantly increased CD68-positive macrophages.Conclusions: Carpet dust exposure could induce oxidative stress and inflammatory response in the lung tissue via induction of CYP2E1 that stimulates ERK/MAPK signalling pathway proteins, resulting in elevated MDA, NO and IL-6 levels in the lung tissue with suppressed GSH content. Tufted dust could possess a more toxic response than knotted ones.
