The aim of the present study was to characterise a mouse model of airways inflammation induced by cigarette smoke and to compare it with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) model with regards to the efficacy of a PDE4 inhibitor (cilomilast), a corticosteroid (dexamethasone) and macrophage metalloelastase (MMP)-12 gene deletion.

Cigarette smoke exposure for 3 days induced a time-dependent airway neutrophilia associated with an increased level of keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, MIP-1 and MMP-9 in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). LPS exposure also induced an increase in the number of neutrophils in BAL. Studies in MMP-12-/- mice showed that in contrast to the smoking model, MMP-12 did not have a critical role in LPS-induced inflammation. Both cilomilast and dexamethasone blocked LPS-induced neutrophilia in a dose-dependent manner. Cilomilast inhibited cigarette smoke-induced neutrophilia and MIP-1, but only 10 mg·kg^–1 of dexamethasone was effective. Both anti-inflammatory treatments had no effect on the levels of KC and MIP-2 in the BAL.

Although the inflammatory response was very similar in the smoking model and LPS, the pharmacological modulation and the MMP-12 gene deletion highlighted the differences in the mechanisms involved. Furthermore, the cigarette smoke model seemed to better represent the situation described in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

In conclusion, these differences underline the importance of using an acute smoke-exposure model to investigate potential new treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
