| Popis: | Diisocyanates are asthma-causing chemicals used in the commercial production of polyurethane. We have previously shown that human lung epithelial cell proteins can become conjugated with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and may be biologically important in diisocyanate-induced asthma. The objective of this study was to identify specific human lung and skin proteins that become conjugated with diisocyanate after in vitro and in vivo exposure. Following in vitro exposure of human airway epithelial cells (A549), keratin 18, the 78-kD glucose-regulated protein, trans-1, 2-dihyrobenzene-1,2-diol dehydrogenase, and actin were identified as prominent diisocyanate-conjugated proteins through use of a combination of immunocytochemical and mass spectrometric techniques. Following in vivo inhalation of an HDI aerosol, keratin 18 was also identified as the predominant diisocyanate-conjugated protein in human endobronchial biopsy samples, whereas albumin was the predominant diisocyanate-conjugated protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Keratin was also identified as a predominant diisocyanate-conjugated protein in human skin biopsy samples after epicutaneous exposure to liquid-phase HDI, although the major skin diisocyanate-conjugated protein (56-kD) differed from the predominant lung diisocyanate-conjugated keratin (47-kD). The data from this study identify keratin and other proteins as potential "carriers" for diisocyanates in vivo, and suggest that HDI conjugation of these proteins may play a role in the pathogenesis of diisocyanate-induced asthma. |
