- W4234393399 abstract "A mouse model was used to identify potential biomarkers of exposure to the environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachiorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Female C57B1/6 mice were treated weekly with 0.2 μg TCDD/kg body weight or vehicle for 14–15 months. Phenotypic analysis by flow cytometry identified the major cell subpopulations in the spleen, thymus, and peripheral blood as defined by the expression of CD4, CD8, B220, and Mac-1 molecules. These subpopulations were further characterized for the expression of I-A, Pgp-1, CD45RB, and/or T cell receptor antigens (CD3, αβ γδ). A group of young (4 months old) mice was evaluated concurrently to document immunophenotype alterations associated with aging. Results showed several age-related changes in phenotype distribution in the spleen and blood, but not in the thymus, despite significant age-dependent thymic involution. The age-dependent changes in splenic phenotypes included a decreased frequency of CD4+ cells and a major shift in the frequency distribution from naive T cells to effector and memory T cells as defined by Pgp-1 and CD45RB expression. These phenotypic changes in the spleen due to aging correlated with similar changes in the blood, providing preliminary support for the use of spleen cells as surrogates for blood in the development of biomarkers of immunotoxicity. Long-term exposure to a total cumulative dose 12–13 μg TCDD/kg body weight resulted in no overt toxicity, a 16-fold elevation of hepatic ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity, and residue levels of 1.27 ± 0.16 ng TCDD/g abdominal fat. In comparison to the effects of aging, TCDD treatment produced relatively subtle changes in immunophenotypes. In the TCDD-treated thymus, the proportion of CD4−CD8− cells was increased as was the proportion of γδ+ thymocytes. These effects were very small but of interest in that similar thymic effects have been previously reported following prenatal exposure to TCDD. In the spleen, TCDD exposure did not alter the frequency of CD4+ or CD8+ T cells, B cells, or macrophages but significantly altered functionally discrete subpopulations within the T cell compartment. The most definitive change in TCDD-treated mice was a decrease in the frequency of memory T helper cells, defined as CD4+ Pgp- 1hiCD45RBlo, with a concomitant increase in the proportion of naive T helper cells identified as CD4+Pgp-1loCD45RBhi. These changes are consistent with the known immunosuppressive activity of TCDD. Thus, these results identify Pgp-1 and CD45RB as potential biomarkers of TCDD immunotoxicity." @default.
