2 Asthma 1. Chronic airway disease: prevalence: 5-10%, people affected world-wide 2. Reversible airflow limitation, airway hyperreactivity & inflammation 3. Wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, chest tightness

3 Asthma Rapid increase of allergy and asthma in past 40 years Changes in gene pool unlikely Changes in environment? Hygiene, lifestyle, diet,... Air pollution (indoor, outdoor) Specific chemicals? Mechanisms?

4 Occupational asthma Definition: occupational asthma is a disease characterized by variable airflow limitation and/or airway hyperresponsiveness due to causes and conditions attributable to a particular occupational environment and not to stimuli encountered outside the workplace 9-15% of all adult asthma is due to exposures on the work floor The most common cause of work-related lung diseases Bernstein et al., 1999; Mapp et al., 2005

5 Occupational agents High molecular weight (HMW) compounds ( 5 kda) Animal proteins Plant proteins Enzymes Low molecular weight (LMW) compounds (< 5 kda) Chemicals Metals Wood dust Pharmaca IgE mediated HMW allergens Flour, Lab animals, Immune sensitization IgE mediated or non-ige mediated LMW sensitizers Isocyanates, persulphates, No immune sensitization Non-IgE mediated LMW irritants Chlorine, Ammonia,

6 Chemicals Chemicals Agriculture Painting/dye industry Plastic/coating industry Construction

7 Occupational agents Diisocyanates Highly reactive, low molecular weight compounds Most common cause of chemical-induced occupational asthma Used for the production of polyurethanes, foams, paints, etc

8 Redlich C and Herrick C, Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol 2008 Skin - lung Development of chemical-induced asthma Primary route of exposure and initiation of immune response = respiratory tract Regulation and prevention of OA almost exclusively focusses on airborne exposures

9 Skin - lung

10 Redlich C and Herrick C, Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol 2008 Skin - lung Development of chemical-induced asthma Primary route of exposure and initiation of immune response = respiratory tract Regulation and prevention of OA almost exclusively focusses on airborne exposures Despite reduction in workplace respiratory exposure, diisocyanate asthma continues to occur Focus on skin exposure

11 Skin - lung

12 Skin - lung 1. Workers in car body repair shops Substantial skin exposure to diisocyanates While airborne exposure was minimal Despite personal protective equipment (gloves and masks) 2. Case reports and (limited) cross-sectional studies in humans 3. Prove this in experimental (animal) setting

13 Occupational asthma Mechanisms? Role of chemical properties? chemical reactivity irritant properties Pathways of sensitization? via dermal route? Immunological mechanisms? usually no specific IgE antibodies cellular mechanisms Implications Hazard identification Prediction of asthmogens Prevention Avoid skin contact Surveillance & diagnosis Identification of sensitized subjects Identification of sensitizing agent in affected subjects

14 Aim Provide valid procedures for testing potential asthmogens Predictive toxicology: identification of «asthmogens» high molecular weight agents low molecular weight agents Primary sensitization potential (potent weak) Ability to cause relevant respiratory responses in sensitized subjects Mechanistic toxicology: understanding mechanisms of sensitization (dermal / mucosal; antigen presentation; dose - response relationships; threshold - tolerance; role of irritants; genetics;...) respiratory responses to sensitization (bronchoconstriction, lung inflammation, airway remodelling; resolution / persistence; role of irritants; genetics,...)
