The dynamicity of acute ozone-induced systemic leukocyte trafficking and adrenal-derived stress hormones.

ABSTRACT: Ozone exposure induces neuroendocrine stress response, which causes lymphopenia. It was hypothesized that ozone-induced increases in stress hormones will temporally follow changes in circulating granulocytes, monocytes- and lymphocyte subpopulations. The goal of this study was to chronicle the changes in circulating stress hormones, cytokines, and leukocyte trafficking during 4 h exposure to ozone. Male Wistar Kyoto rats were exposed to air or ozone (0.4 or 0.8 ppm) for 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 h. After each time point, circulating stress hormones, cytokines, and lung gene expression were assessed along with live and apoptotic granulocytes, monocytes (classical and non-classical), and lymphocytes (B, T_h, and T_c) in blood, thymus, and spleen using flow cytometry. Circulating stress hormones began to increase at 1 h of ozone exposure. Lung expression of inflammatory cytokines (Cxcl2, Il6, and Hmox1) and glucocorticoid-responsive genes (Nr3c1, Fkbp5 and Tsc22d3) increased in both a time- and ozone concentration-dependent manner. Circulating granulocytes increased at 0.5 h of ozone exposure but tended to decrease at 2 and 4 h, suggesting a rapid egress and then margination to the lung. Classical monocytes decreased over 4 h of exposure periods (∼80 % at 0.8 ppm). B and T_c lymphocytes significantly decreased after ozone exposure at 2 and 4 h. Despite dynamic shifts in circulating immune cell populations, few differences were measured in serum cytokines. Ozone neither increased apoptotic cells nor altered thymus and spleen lymphocytes. The data show that ozone-induced increases in adrenal-derived stress hormones precede the dynamic migration of circulating immune cells, likely to the lung to mediate inflammation.

Project description:RationaleAir pollution has been associated with increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes; however, the mechanisms remain unknown. We have shown that acute ozone exposure in rats induces release of stress hormones, hyperglycemia, leptinemia, and glucose intolerance that are associated with global changes in peripheral glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism.ObjectivesTo examine ozone-induced metabolic derangement in humans using serum metabolomic assessment, establish human-to-rodent coherence, and identify novel nonprotein biomarkers.MethodsSerum samples were obtained from a crossover clinical study that included two clinic visits (n = 24 each) where each subject was blindly exposed in the morning to either filtered air or 0.3 parts per million ozone for 2 hours during 15-minute on-off exercise. Serum samples collected within 1 hour after exposure were assessed for changes in metabolites using a metabolomic approach.Measurements and main resultsMetabolomic analysis revealed that ozone exposure markedly increased serum cortisol and corticosterone together with increases in monoacylglycerol, glycerol, and medium- and long-chain free fatty acids, reflective of lipid mobilization and catabolism. Additionally, ozone exposure increased serum lysolipids, potentially originating from membrane lipid breakdown. Ozone exposure also increased circulating mitochondrial β-oxidation-derived metabolites, such as acylcarnitines, together with increases in the ketone body 3-hydroxybutyrate. These changes suggested saturation of β-oxidation by ozone in exercising humans.ConclusionsAs in rodents, acute ozone exposure increased stress hormones and globally altered peripheral lipid metabolism in humans, likely through activation of a neurohormonally mediated stress response pathway. The metabolomic assessment revealed new biomarkers and allowed for establishment of rodent-to-human coherence. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT 01492517).
