Three groups of Syrian golden hamsters were exposed to NO2for 6, 24, or 48 hr to determine acute effects on intercellular junctional morphology in distal airways and alveolar epithelium. A fourth group, exposed for 48 hr, was allowed to recover for 2 days prior to sacrifice. Light and transmission electron microscopy of bronchiolar epithelium show ciliary loss and surface membrane damage, loss of ciliated cells, and epithelial flattening at 24 and 48 hr. Moderate to marked epithelial hyperplasia and nonciliated cell hypertrophy are noted after 48 hr. Some restoration of normal histoarchitecture is noted in bronchioles of animals allowed a 48-hr recovery period. Freeze fracture platinum-carbon replicas of bronchiolar epithelium show the gradual evolution of a severe disruption of tight junctional networks after 6, 24, and 48 hr of exposure. Following 2 days of “recovery,” bronchiolar tight junctions from animals exposed for 48 hr remain fragmented. The wide distribution of the junctional material present suggests a regenerative process. Freeze fracture replicas of bronchial epithelium show similar fragmentation of tight junctions following 6-hr exposures. After longer intervals, however, there is a return to more normal appearances. Duration of NO2exposure has no systematic effect on the integrity of tight junctions in alveolar epithelium. The findings suggest that disruption of tight junctions may be an important specific determinant of increased bronchiolar epithelial permeability following brief exposures to nitrogen dioxide.
