Brief summary

Purpose of this study. Identify possible immunotoxic effect of acute cadmium sulfate exposure in rats. Materials and methods. The 20 male Wistar rats weighing between 200-230 g. were used in this study. Animals received a single intraperitoneally injection of cadmium sulfate at dose 4 mg/kg. PE labeled anti-rat CD45, FITC labeled anti-rat CD3, APC labeled anti-rat CD4, PerCP labeled anti-rat CD8a antigens were used to quantify T-helper cells and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (BD Pharmingen, USA). Apoptotic cell levels were assessed by staining using FITC-labeled annexin V and propidium iodide. Cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCaliburTM flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, USA). The TNF-α and INF-γ concentration was determined by ELLISA. Results. The results of experimental study showed that acute cadmium sulfate exposure leds to a decrease in the thymus mass and mass coefficients, to a thinning and a reduction in the lymphocytes number in the cortical layer. Lymphopenia, monocytosis, basophilia, eosinophilia, decrease in CD4+ T-lymphocyte count and immunoregulatory index, increase in CD8+ T-cells were observed. There was no significant effect of the toxicant on the apoptotic mononuclear cells number, on the level of TNF-α and INF-γ, on the phagocytic and metabolic activity of neutrophils and on their absolute amount in the blood. We noticed an increase in ISLM and IA, a decrease in ISLE. Conclusion. Acute cadmium sulfate exposure leads to the development of lymphopenia, monocytopenia, basophilia and eosinophilia. There is an involution of the thymus, a thinning of its cortical layer, reduction in T-helpers (CD4+) and an increase in T-lymphocytes (CD8+), decrease of the ratio CD4+/CD8+. An increase in ISLM and IA, a decrease in ISLE indicates a violation of the immunological reactivity.
