• Description:
  The fundamental goal of this study was to develop an in vivo model of the exposome that could be used to evaluate exposure-induced alterations in local and systemic immune markers as a function of various exposomal factors. Accordingly, the model was designed to mimic an occupationally-relevant scenario in which inhalation of welding fumes (WF) constituted the primary occupational/environmental exposure of interest. Immune endpoints were assessed at three different time points representative of different stages in the exposure/response timeline (before WF exposure, directly after, and following a 12 wk recovery period). Moreover, the potential impact of genetic variation and lifestyle factors on the immune response to WF exposure and subsequent recovery was addressed by incorporating two different rat strains (Sprague-Dawley [SD] and Brown Norway [BN]) and two variations in diet (regular and high fat) into the model. One of the primary objectives of this study was to determine whether consumption of a HF diet is associated with increased immunological responsivity following exposure to a common respiratory toxicant. The study was also executed with the goal of identifying which experimental factor (genetics/strain, diet, occupational exposure) is most influential in the modulation of local and systemic markers of immune status following WF exposure, and subsequently, the efficacy of inflammation resolution. The information obtained from these analyses will help elucidate which exposomic determinants may be particularly relevant in the context of immunotoxicity, and accordingly, warrant special attention in future investigations. The results will also contribute to the development of other in vivo exposome models and direct future efforts related to the exposome and its impact on human health. [Description provided by NIOSH]
