We have investigated changes in human alveolar macrophage (HAM) function after exposure in vitro to ozone (O3) (0.1 – 1.0 ppm for 2–4 hr). The functions studied reflect concern that O3is detrimental to host defense mechanisms in the bronchoalveolar spaces. Exposure of HAM to O3caused a concentration-dependent increase in release of prostaglandin E2(PGE2), an important modulator of inflammation, phagocytosis, and oxidative burst. Although phagocytosis of particulate immune complexes was decreased by O3, we found no change in the quantity of Fc receptors and complement receptors on the HAM surface. Superoxide (O2−) production in response to phorbol ester was reduced after exposure of HAM to O3while the basal O2−release in response to plastic adherence was not affected. Growth inhibition of the opportunistic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans by HAM was not affected by O3exposure. The production of inflammatory mediators and immune modulators such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin 1, and interleukin 6 were not induced by exposure to O3. However, compared to controls, O3-exposed HAM produced significantly lower levels of these cytokines when stimulated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis of proteins made by HAM following in vitro exposure to O3identified 11 proteins whose rate of synthesis was significantly altered. Thus, these studies show that exposure to O3alters the functional competence of HAM. While there is a minimal effect on protein expression or synthesis, the responses of HAM to particulate immune complexes, to bacterial LPS, and to PMA are impaired. The release of arachidonic acid and PGE2suggest that the effect of O3is primarily targeted to the HAM cell membrane. These changes may ultimately result in increased susceptibility to inhaled infectious agents in the O3-exposed individual.
