Objective:
Investigating the impacts of air pollution on public health requires an intensely multidisciplinary approach. Our Center brings together a diverse group of experts, including atmospheric chemists, engineers, aerosol scientists, toxicologists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, molecular biologists, epidemiologists, statisticians, and exposure assessors. The Center also builds upon the infrastructure and extensive portfolio of other research at the Harvard School of Public Health and allied institutions, including the Universities of Toronto and Michigan. To date, Center research has produced over 170 peer-reviewed publications. Many of these research findings are of public policy significance and were extensively cited by the 2004 EPA Criteria Document and the draft 2008 Integrated Science Assessment report. This valuable scientific productivity depended heavily on the numerous collaborations fostered by the Center over its 10-year lifespan.
Our current Center supports four research projects and two cores which share three common objectives: 1) Define mechanisms of response to PM exposures at the molecular, cellular, and integrative pathophysiological levels, using experimental laboratory and population studies; 2) Investigate associations between specific PM characteristics/sources and inflammation, autonomic responses, and vascular dysfunction and; and 3) Identify individuals who are more susceptible to PM exposures because of their genetic predisposition and/or health condition. Project 1 (NAS study) examines the association between PM exposures and intermediate markers of autonomic dysfunction, systemic inflammation, endothelial activation and oxidative stress, in the Normative Aging Study cohort in Eastern Massachusetts. Project 2 (Human CAPs study) examines the cardiovascular effects of fine, coarse and ultrafine concentrated ambient particles (CAPs) in healthy adults in Toronto. Measurements of cardiovascular and inflammatory responses include brachial artery diameter, flow-mediated dilatation, heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure (BP), cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. Project 3 (Animal CAPs study) investigates the relationship between PM composition and vascular response. Normal and spontaneously hypersensitive rats are exposed to fine CAPs in Boston. Biological outcomes include pulmonary and systemic inflammation, BP, endothelin-1, atrial naturetic peptide, oxidant response in the heart and lung by in vivo chemiluminescence, and vascular morphometry of lung and cardiac vessels. Project 4 (Toxicological Evaluation of Realistic Emission Source Aerosol-TERESA study) investigates the effects of primary and secondary vehicular emissions from a traffic tunnel in Boston, using the same animal models and biological measurements as in Project 4. The Biostatistics Core provides design and analysis support for all four Projects, as well as supports population studies in US cites examining PM effects on mortality and morbidity. Finally, the Particle Core supports the development of particle exposure systems for human and animal inhalation studies and sampling techniques for exposure assessment investigations. Below, we highlight some of our Center accomplishments and discuss our plans for the remaining two years. This overview focuses on biological responses as they relate to mechanisms, to susceptibility and PM components/sources.
Progress Summary:
Oxidative Stress: It has been hypothesized that a primary mechanism by which particles impact human health is the induction of pulmonary inflammatory responses mediated through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The NAS project examines the importance of oxidative stress pathways to the relationship between PM exposures and cardiac outcomes. Park et al. 2006 postulated that two hemochromatosis (HFE) polymorphisms (C282Y and H63D), associated with increased iron uptake, may modify the effect of metal-rich particles on the cardiovascular system. [The protein product of the HFE gene modulates uptake of iron and divalent cations from pulmonary sources and reduces their toxicity.] Among men in the NAS cohort, PM2.5 exposures decreased the high-frequency component of HRV in persons with the wild-type genotype, whereas no relationship was observed in persons with either HFE variant. The effect of PM on cardiac autonomic function was shielded in subjects with at least 1 copy of an HFE variant compared with wild-type subjects. Using the NAS cohort we have shown that reduced defenses against oxidative stress due to glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) deletion modify the effects of PM2.5 on HRV 1. Furthermore, polymorphisms in hemeoxygenase (HMOX-1) have been shown to affect the ability to respond to oxidative stress. A high number of (GT)n dinucleotide repeats in the 5'-flanking region of the gene have found to increase risk of coronary artery disease. Our recent NAS paper by Chahine et al. 2 showed that individuals with a high number of (GT)n repeats are more susceptible to the PM effects. PM2.5 was not associated with decreased HRV in subjects with the short repeat variant of HMOX-1, but was significantly associated in subjects with any long repeat. We also found that HMOX-1 interacts with GSTM1. In subjects with the GSTM1 deletion and the HMOX-1 long repeat, high frequency power of HRV decreased by 28% per 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5. Together these findings suggest that oxidative stress is an important pathway for the particle autonomic effects.
We have pioneered animal CAPs toxicological studies which have produced a large spectrum of biological responses. These investigations provide a unique opportunity to address important mechanistic questions raised by epidemiologic studies. For instance, how could particles inhaled by individuals with lessened defenses against ROS result in HRV changes? We have shown that measures of cardiac ROS are directly related to autonomic nervous system activity 3. More recently, animals with or without blocked afferent neural fibers in the lung were exposed to CAPs 4. During exposures, ROS levels in the heart were measured using in situ chemiluminescence. Cardiac conduction parameters were also monitored. This study showed that blocking afferent neural response fibers in the lung, which mediate autonomic nervous system responses, blocked both increases in ROS levels in the heart and changes in cardiac conduction times. Consistent with our human studies these findings link respiratory and cardiac autonomic mechanisms with ROS and serve as a prime example of the benefits of integrated research within our Center.
Inflammation: We investigated PM-mediated impacts on several markers of inflammation and thrombotic activity, which may play key role in the physio-pathological processes leading to cardiovascular disease and mortality5. We examined the impact of particles on inflammation and thrombotic activity using white blood cell counts (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), sediment rate, and fibrinogen, and investigated whether these impacts were modified by age, health status, polymorphisms in GSTM1, and statin medications. We found both Black Carbon (BC) and Particle Number (PN) to be increase inflammation and thrombotic activity. Effects were strongest for subjects older than 78 years, individuals with chronic pro-inflammatory states (as shown for obese individuals), and individuals with reduced defenses to ROS species (as shown for people with the GSTM1-null genetic polymorphism or in non-statin users).
Vascular Dysfunction: Our previous epidemiological studies have shown that PM increases BP in diabetic populations 6,7. Three of the Center projects (NAS, and human and animal CAPs) investigate the relationship between PM exposures and BP. We have exposed humans to particle free air, fine CAPs and coarse CAPs. Both particle size fractions induced vascular responses: the diastolic BP increased by 2.73±1.18 and, 2.86±0.86 mmHg for coarse and fine CAPs, respectively; while the systolic BP increased by 3.03±1.28 and 2.29±1.12 mmHg, for coarse and fine CAPs, respectively. It is also worth mentioning that our animal studies have shown that exposure to surrogate particles or CAPs enhances ischemia and increases blood pressure in both canine and rat models 8,9 .
Autonomic Dysfunction: Many investigators have identified short term outcomes related to PM exposures, such as HRV, an indicator of autonomic response, and arrhythmias that could lead to cardiovascular deaths. In the NAS study exposures to PM2.5 and O3 were associated with decreased HRV, High Frequency (HF) and, Low Frequency (LF) and increased LF/HF ratio 10. In a later analysis we found that PM2.5, SO4 and BC exposures were associated with increased LF/HF ratio on days where most of the pollution was related to local sources 11. In a panel study of 32 elderly subjects in Steubenville, Ohio, we found that PM2.5 and SO4 exposures decrease HRV 12. Furthermore, irregularities in cardiac repolarization may play an important role as they can lead to the development of an arrhythmia. Using data from the NAS, we investigated the association between PM exposures and the QT interval (QTc), which is a measure of repolarization. Preliminary results show that the traffic-related pollutants, BC, NO2 and CO are associated with increased QTc.
Susceptibility: Individuals with cardiac and vascular disease are more susceptible to PM effects. One potential pathway of diabetic vulnerability is via inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, processes in which cell adhesion molecules and inflammatory markers play important roles. O’Neill et al. 13 measured plasma levels of soluble ICAM-1; VCAM-1; and vWF and particle exposure in 92 Boston patients with type-2 diabetes. Among participants not taking statins, associations between PM2.5, BC and VCAM-1 were particularly strong. Furthermore, PM exposures were associated with changes in reactive hyperemia and increased arrhythmias (Zanobetti et al. 2002; Sarnat et al. 2006) 6,14. Finally, in post-MI patients, PM2.5 exposures were associated with decreased HRV 15. These effects were modified by beta-blocker, bronchodilator intake 15, and genetics 2.
Effect of Particle Characteristics and Sources on Particle Toxicity: While great progress has been made in elucidating the biological mechanisms which are responsible for the PM effects, understanding the role of specific PM sources and properties remains a significant challenge. One of the main objectives of the Center is to examine PM toxicity in relation to both PM components and to different sources. These issues are addressed by three different approaches: population and cohort studies; CAPs inhalation studies; and source specific inhalation studies.
1) Population and Cohort Studies. In Franklin et al. 16 we found that Al, Si, S, Ni, and As significantly modified the association between daily PM2.5 mass and mortality in 25 US communities cities. Zanobetti and Schwartz 17 analyzed hospital admissions data from Boston. This study found associations between MI emergency hospital admissions and BC, and emergency pneumonia admissions and BC, NO2 and CO. The pattern of associations seen for MI and pneumonia underlines the importance of traffic emissions. Maynard et al. 18 used GIS to assess address-specific exposures to traffic PM for each decedent in Boston. Traffic exposure was associated with all-cause mortality as well as stroke and diabetes-related deaths. Sulfate, an indicator of long-range transported particles, was also associated with all-cause mortality risk, but its effect was smaller than that of traffic PM. Finally, in our original NAS study we found ambient PM2.5 and BC concentrations to be associated with decrements in HRV and increases in CRP and fibrinogen levels.
2) CAPs Inhalation Studies. The fine, coarse and ultrafine particle concentrator technologies developed by our group have been extensively used in Center studies and by researchers in US and around the world 19-21 . These technologies provide a unique opportunity to expose subjects to real ambient particles at concentrations higher than typical atmospheric levels. To date most of the CAPs studies have produced biological responses. In both the human and animal CAPs studies we examine PM toxicity in relation to PM composition and size. Of particular interest are the results of the Toronto human CAPs study which showed that both fine and coarse PM can produce similar increases in BP. Unlike previous inhalation studies which have used artificial test particles, CAPs composition depends on atmospheric conditions and source contributions and thus varies by experiment. This inherent variability of exposures can be very advantageous in the efforts to examine the effects of PM specific components and/or sources. For instance, animal CAPs studies in Boston have assoicated health outcomes to particulate species, such as: hematologic and bronchoalveolar lavage changes linked to Pb, Br and S 22, vascular changes linked to Si, S, EC and OC 23 and lung chemiluminescence linked to metals and heart chemiluminescence linked to traffic-related components 24.
3) Source Specific Inhalation Studies. Because there is still ambiguity in associating source tracers with actual sources, we believe that it is important to conduct exposure studies that examine the effects of both primary and secondary particles from specific sources. Our recent and current TERESA studies, co-funded by the Center and EPRI, aim to investigate the effects of specific sources such as electric power plants and vehicular traffic, respectively. We have developed technologies to sample combustion emissions as well as to effectively simulate the aging of primary source emissions through a series of photochemical reactions. We have exposed rats to coal combustion primary and secondary particles at three US power plants equipped with different emission control technologies. As mentioned above, these toxicological assessments included measurement of respiratory parameters, inflammatory markers and cardiac function. Although we are still analyzing the data, our preliminary findings suggest that both primary and secondary coal combustion particles are less toxic than Boston CAPs. Using the developed technologies, we will investigate the toxicity of primary and secondary pollutants from mobile source emissions sampled inside the ventilation stack of a traffic tunnel in Boston. Together, the toxicological investigation of CAPs, coal and traffic particles will enhance our understanding about the effects of two very important particle sources impacting the U.S. population.
Other Population Studies: In addition to the four Projects, our Center supports the extension of the analyses of population surveillance data to additional cities in the US. These efforts continue to provide new insights into the effects of particle exposures on cardiovascular and respiratory mortality 25, as well as on hospital admissions for MI infarctions Zanobetti, 2005 #104}, for heart failure 26, respiratory disease 27, and heart disease 28. In an analysis of over 1.3 million deaths in 27 US communities, we reported increases in all-cause respiratory and stroke-related mortality associated with PM2.5 and PM10 exposures. Finally, case-crossover methods have shown that individual characteristics modify the effect of particles on mortality 29, and that city characteristics modify the effect of PM on hospital admissions 27.
Future Activities:
The NAS cohort has been an invaluable resource in our efforts to investigate biological mechanisms in human subjects. Future work will include assessment of participant-specific exposures, which will be used in conjunction with the central site measurements for the health effects analyses. Future analysis will also include additional biological parameters, including BP and plasma levels of soluble ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and vWF. Despite unanticipated delays to installation of the three concentrators in Toronto, we are very pleased with the overall progress of this Project. We have recruited additional subjects for coarse CAPs exposures and analysis of the biological data is underway. Depending on the results of this analysis we will decide whether to perform additional coarse and fine PM exposures or switch to ultrafine CAPs during the last year. All Boston animal CAPs exposures have been completed and we are currently analyzing the data. Construction of the photochemical chamber for the traffic TERESA study will be completed soon. The field study will commence in the spring of 2009 and will last approximately six months. We anticipate finishing the study in approximately two years. Finally, we will continue the analysis of morbidity and speciation data from US cities to investigate species-specific associations using similar statistical methods used by the Franklin et al. 16 mortality study.
