The purpose of this study was to determine the pathology of cigarette smoke-increased permeability at the bronchioalveolar junction of the guinea pig. After exposure to either smoke or room air, guinea pigs were anesthetized and fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-D, mol wt 10,000) was aerosolized into their lungs. Blood samples taken through a carotid arterial cannula were analyzed by gel chromatography and spectrofluorometry for the presence of FITC-D. The results confirmed that, after smoke exposure, increased amounts of intact FITC-D molecules with a reported Einstein-Stokes radius of 22.2 A crossed the respiratory epithelium into the vascular space. Transmission electron-microscopic studies showed that the FITC-D diffused across damaged type I pneumocyte membranes and cytoplasm to reach the basal lamina and entered the alveolar capillaries through endothelial tight junctions. Damage to the alveolar epithelium was more frequent for the smoke-exposed animals than the room air-exposed animals (P less than 0.05). We conclude that smoke exposure damages type I cells and that inhaled FITC-D crosses the epithelial barrier at damaged type I cells of the bronchioloalveolar junctions.
