Journal ArticleDOI

Human bronchial epithelial cells exposed in vitro to cigarette smoke at the air-liquid interface resemble bronchial epithelium from human smokers

TL;DR: A similar biological perturbation than the one observed in vivo in smokers' airway epithelium could be induced after a single CS exposure of a human organotypic bronchial epithelia-like tissue culture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of network perturbation amplitudes by applying high-throughput data to causal biological networks

TL;DR: The NPA scoring method leverages high-throughput measurements and a priori literature-derived knowledge in the form of network models to characterize the activity change for a broad collection of biological processes at high-resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Modular Cell-Type Focused Inflammatory Process Network Model for Non-Diseased Pulmonary Tissue

TL;DR: The IPN provides a comprehensive framework of experimentally supported pathways related to CS-induced pulmonary inflammation and predicted decreased epithelial cell barrier defenses and increased mucus hypersecretion in human bronchial epithelial cells, and an attenuated pro-inflammatory profile in alveolar macrophages following exposure to CS.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Systems Biology Approach Reveals the Dose- and Time-Dependent Effect of Primary Human Airway Epithelium Tissue Culture After Exposure to Cigarette Smoke In Vitro

TL;DR: An in vitro systems toxicology approach has potential for product testing according to “21st Century Toxicology” and a follow-up evaluation of in vitro transcriptomics data is presented, using complementary computational approaches and an integrated mRNA-microRNA (miRNA) analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cigarette smoke-induced morphological transformation of Bhas 42 cells in vitro.

TL;DR: This in vitro assay with Bhas 42 cells is able to detect cell transformation induced by cigarette smoke in a dose-dependent manner with a high sensitivity and good precision and may be useful in product assessment, as well as for further investigation of the non-geno-toxic carcinogenic activity of tobacco smoke-related test substances.
