The authors used BALB/c and C57BL/6 mouse strains to search for genetically based differences in response to prolonged (6 months) low-dose (100 mu g/m(3)) diesel exhaust particle (DEP) exposure from birth in terms of airway inflammatory responses. Histopathological assessment showed that inflammatory cells infiltrated the perivascular areas only in C57BL/6 mice. The count of DEP-laden alveolar macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was significantly greater in BALB/c mice (P < .05) than in C57BL/6 mice. The lymphocyte and eosinophil count in BAL fluid was significantly greater in C57BL/6 mice (P < .05) than in BALB/c mice. Immunoglobulin (Ig) IgG(1) and IgG(2) levels in serum, and the monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 level in BAL fluid were significantly greater in BALB/c mice than in C57BL/6 mice. The interleukin (IL)-12 level in BAL fluid was significantly greater in C57BL/6 mice than in BALB/c mice, but the IL-13 level in BAL fluid was significantly less in BALB/c mice than in C57BL/6 mice. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) mRNA expression and protein production in lung tissues were significantly lower in C57BL/6 mice than in BALB/c mice, and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) level in the lung tissues were significantly greater in C57BL/6 mice than in BALB/c mice. In conclusion, prolonged low-dose DEP exposure induces airway inflammatory responses that differ remarkably among mouse strains; these differences are caused by differences in the host defense response to the oxidative stress induced by DEP exposure and may be useful in the development of biomarkers.
