The study examined the effects of multiple exposomal factors on pulmonary inflammation and immune parameters in rats. The results showed that high-fat diet had a greater impact on the immune system of SD rats, while welding fume had a more pronounced effect on immune system recovery in BN rats. These findings highlight the combined impact of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors on immune responsivity.
The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of multiple exposomal factors (genetics, lifestyle factors, environmental/occupational exposures) on pulmonary inflammation and corresponding alterations in local/ systemic immune parameters. Accordingly, male Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Brown Norway (BN) rats were maintained on either regular (Reg) or high fat (HF) diets for 24wk. Welding fume (WF) exposure (inhalation) occurred between 7 and 12wk. Rats were euthanized at 7, 12, and 24wk to evaluate local and systemic immune markers corresponding to the baseline, exposure, and recovery phases of the study, respectively. At 7wk, HF-fed animals exhibited several immune alterations (blood leukocyte/neutrophil number, lymph node B-cell proportionality)-effects which were more pronounced in SD rats. Indices of lung injury/inflammation were elevated in all WF-exposed animals at 12wk; however, diet appeared to preferentially impact SD rats at this time point, as several inflammatory markers (lymph node cellularity, lung neutrophils) were further elevated in HF over Reg animals. Overall, SD rats exhibited the greatest capacity for recovery by 24wk. In BN rats, resolution of immune alterations was further compromised by HF diet, as many exposure-induced alterations in local/systemic immune markers were still evident in HF/WF animals at 24wk. Collectively, HF diet appeared to have a greater impact on global immune status and exposure-induced lung injury in SD rats, but a more pronounced effect on inflammation resolution in BN rats. These results illustrate the combined impact of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors in modulating immunological responsivity and emphasize the importance of the exposome in shaping biological responses.
