Augmented responses to ozone in obese carboxypeptidase E-deficient mice. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 290: R126 - R133, 2006. First published July 7, 2005; doi: 10.1152/ajpregu. 00306.2005. - We reported previously that mice obese as a result of leptin deficiency (ob/ob) have enhanced ozone (O-3)- induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and inflammation compared with wild-type (C57BL/6) controls. To determine whether this increased response to O-3 was independent of the modality of obesity, we examined O-3-induced AHR and inflammation in Cpe(fat) mice. These mice are obese as a consequence of a mutation in the gene encoding carboxypeptidase E (Cpe), an enzyme important in processing prohormones and proneuropeptides involved in satiety and energy expenditure. Airway responsiveness to intravenous methacholine, measured by forced oscillation, was increased in Cpefat vs. wild-type mice after air exposure. In addition, compared with air exposure, airway responsiveness was increased 24 h after O-3 exposure (2 ppm for 3 h) in Cpe(fat) but not in wild-type mice. Compared with air-exposed controls, O-3 exposure increased bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein, IL-6, KC, MIP-2, MCP-1, and soluble TNF receptors (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2) as well as BALF neutrophils. With the exception of sTNFR1 and sTNFR2, all of these outcome indicators were greater in Cpefat vs. wild-type mice. Serum sTNFR1, sTNFR2, MCP-1, leptin, and blood leukocytes were elevated in Cpefat compared with wild-type mice even in the absence of O-3 exposure, similar to the chronic systemic inflammation observed in human obesity. These results indicate that increased O-3-induced AHR and inflammation are consistent features of obese mice, regardless of the modality of obesity. These results also suggest that chronic systemic inflammation may enhance airway responses to O-3 in obese mice.
