Most asthma begins in the first years of life. This early onset cannot be merely attributed to genetic factors, because the prevalence of asthma is increasing. Epidemiological studies have indicated roles for prenatal and early childhood exposures, including exposure to diesel exhaust. However, little is known about the mechanisms. This is largely due to paucity of animal models. We aimed to develop a mouse model of asthma susceptibility through prenatal exposure to diesel exhaust. Pregnant C57BL/6 female mice were given repeated intranasal applications of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Offspring underwent suboptimal immunization and challenge with ovalbumin (OVA) or received PBS. Pups were examined for features of asthma; lung and liver tissues were analyzed for transcription of DEP-regulated genes. Offspring of mice exposed to DEP were hypersensitive to OVA, indicated by airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, increased serum levels of OVA-specific IgE, and increased levels of pulmonary and systemic T-helper (Th)2 and Th17 cytokines. These cytokines were primarily produced by natural killer (NK) cells. Antibody-mediated depletion of NK cells prevented airway inflammation. Asthma susceptibility was associated with increased transcription of genes known to be specifically regulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and oxidative stress. Features of asthma were either marginal or absent in OVA-treated pups of PBS-exposed mice. We created a mouse model that linked maternal exposure to DEP with asthma susceptibility in offspring. Development of asthma was dependent on NK cells and associated with increased transcription from AhR- and oxidative stress-regulated genes.
