Abstract
Adenosine, lidocaine and Mg2+ (ALM) solution is an emerging therapy that reduces secondary injury after intravenous administration in experimental models of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Intranasal delivery of ALM may offer an alternative route for rapid, point-of-care management of TBI. As a preliminary safety screen, we evaluated whether ALM exerts cytotoxic or inflammatory effects on primary human nasal epithelial cells (pHNEC) in vitro. Submerged monolayers and air–liquid interface cultures of pHNEC were exposed to media only, normal saline only, therapeutic ALM or supratherapeutic ALM for 15 or 60 min. Safety was measured through viability, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, cellular and mitochondrial stress, and inflammatory mediator secretion assays. No differences were found in viability or cytotoxicity in cultures exposed to saline or ALM for up to 60 min, with no evidence of apoptosis after exposure to supratherapeutic ALM concentrations. Despite comparable inflammatory cytokine secretion profiles and mitochondrial activity, cellular stress responses were significantly lower in cultures exposed to ALM than saline. In summary, data show ALM therapy has neither adverse toxic nor inflammatory effects on human nasal epithelial cells, setting the stage for in vivo toxicity studies and possible clinical translation of intranasal ALM therapy for TBI treatment.
