    Abstract Following the emergence of electronic cigarette, or vaping product use associated lung injury (EVALI) in 2019 in the US, regulation of e-cigarettes has become globally tighter and the collective evidence of the detrimental effects of vaping has grown. The danger of cellular distress and altered homeostasis is heavily associated with the modifiable nature of electronic cigarette devices. An array of harmful chemicals and elevated concentrations of metals have been detected in e-cigarette aerosols which have been linked to various pathogeneses. Vaping is linked to increased inflammation, altered lipid homeostasis and mitochondrial dysfunction whilst also increasing microbial susceptibility whilst the long-term damage is yet to be observed. The scientific evidence is mounting and highlighting that, along with traditional tobacco cigarette smoking, electronic cigarette vaping is not a safe practice.

    Abstract E-cigarettes (eCig) are being considered as an alternative to quit cigarette smoking while their long-term effect on lung pathophysiology are unknown. Maternal eCig-vaping may be promoted and considered as a safer cigarette smoking-replacement during pregnancy thus needing further assessment. Using murine models of in utero vaping and allergic asthma with complementary in vitro experiments we tested whether maternal eCig vaping enhances features of allergic asthma in offspring. Female BALB/c mice were exposed to either eCig vapor (± nicotine) or room air. Female offspring from these mothers were subjected to an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma model. Lung function and airway inflammation was assessed. Tissues were histologically assessed with H&E, Periodic Acid-Schiff and Masson's trichrome. Mitochondrial homeostasis protein expression was measured using immunohistochemistry while human airway smooth muscle (ASM) and Beas-2B cells were used to further measure cellular function and mitochondrial respiration. Allergen-challenge in mice lead to significant increase in airway inflammation, development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and increase in mucus and airway wall thickening (hallmark features of allergic asthma). Allergic asthma features were significantly enhanced in offspring from eCig (+Nicotine)-exposed mothers and were mainly reliant upon Th2-dependent inflammation with complementary changes in mitochondrial homeostasis. Further, in vitro data demonstrated that eCig (±Nicotine)-exposure impaired airway cell homeostasis and perturbed mitochondrial function. Collectively, maternal eCig vaping enhanced and worsened features of allergic asthma and this could partly be attributed to aberrant mitochondrial function.

    Abstract In 2019, the United States experienced the emergence of the vaping-associated lung injury (VALI) epidemic. Vaping is now known to result in the development and progression of severe lung disease in the young and healthy. Lack of regulation on electronic cigarettes in the United States has resulted in over 2,000 patients and 68 deaths. We examine the clinical representation of VALI and the delve into the scientific evidence of how deadly exposure to electronic cigarettes can be. E-cigarette vapor is shown to affect numerous cellular processes, cellular metabolism, and cause DNA damage (which has implications for cancer). E-cigarette use is associated with a higher risk of developing crippling lung conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which would develop several years from now, increasing the already existent smoking-related burden. The role of vaping and virus susceptibility is yet to be determined; however, vaping can increase the virulence and inflammatory potential of several lung pathogens and is also linked to an increased risk of pneumonia. As it has emerged for cigarette smoking, great caution should also be given to vaping in relation to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the COVID-19 pandemic. Sadly, e-cigarettes are continually promoted and perceived as a safer alternative to cigarette smoking. E-cigarettes and their modifiable nature are harmful, as the lungs are not designed for the chronic inhalation of e-cigarette vapor. It is of interest that e-cigarettes have been shown to be of no help with smoking cessation. A true danger lies in vaping, which, if ignored, will lead to disastrous future costs.

    Abstract microRNAs (miRNAs) bind to mRNAs and inhibit their expression through post-transcriptionally regulating gene expression. Here, we elaborate upon the concise summary of the role of miRNAs in carcinogenesis with specific attention to precursor respiratory pathogenesis caused by cigarette smoke modulation of these miRNAs. We review how miRNAs are implicated in cigarette-smoke-driven mechanisms, such as epithelial to mesenchymal transition, autophagy modulation, and lung ageing, which are important in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and potential progression to lung cancer. Extracellular vesicles are key to inter-cellular communication and sharing of miRNAs. A deeper understanding of the role of miRNAs in chronic respiratory disease and their use as clinical biomarkers has great potential. Therapeutic targeting of miRNAs may significantly benefit the prevention of cancer progression.
