Smoking susceptibility is important for the onset and development of COPD. We previously reported an association between serum iron concentrations and pulmonary function in male smokers. However, the mechanism governing smoking susceptibility in relation to iron deficiency is unclear; this study aimed to elucidate this mechanism. C57BL\/6 male mice were fed an iron-deficient or normal diet and then exposed to cigarette smoke. BAL, histological analysis, and pulmonary function tests were performed after cigarette smoke exposure. Human alveolar type II epithelial A549 cells were treated with an iron chelator. Subsequently, A549 cells were exposed to cigarette smoke extract. In mice exposed to cigarette smoke for 2 weeks, the concentration of alveolar macrophages in the BAL fluid recovered from iron-deficient mice was significantly higher than that in normal diet mice. IL-6 and MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein 1) concentrations in the BAL fluid increased significantly from baseline in iron-deficient mice, but not in normal diet mice. In mice exposed to cigarette smoke for 8 weeks, the pathological mean linear intercepts, physiological total lung capacity, and functional residual capacity in the lungs of iron-deficient mice were significantly greater than in normal diet mice. Phosphorylation of NF-\u03baB was enhanced in the lungs of iron-deficient mice exposed to cigarette smoke and in the iron-chelating A549 cells exposed to cigarette smoke extract. Iron deficiency exaggerated cigarette smoke\u2013induced pulmonary inflammation, suggesting that it may accelerate COPD development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2018-0239oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,14]],"date-time":"2019-11-14T18:34:14Z","timestamp":1573756454000},"page":"588-597","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1164\/crossmarkpolicies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Effect
