DMN exposure modulates cellular immunity through alterations in the maturation and hematopoiesis of macrophages. DMN-exposed bone marrow stem cells gave rise to increased colony-forming unit-macrophage (CFU-M) colonies while the resulting colonies produced fewer cells/colony. Bone marrow-derived macrophages phenotypically had decreased cells expressing Ia antigens or cells in the S-phase following DMN treatment. Concanavalin A-elicited peritoneal exudate cells from DMN-treated animals demonstrated an increase in the percentage of macrophages and in the number of immature, bi-nucleated cells obtained as well as a concomitant increase in the percentage of Ia antigen-expressing cells. Concanavalin A-elicited peritoneal exudate cells from DMN-exposed animals also had an increased secreted interleukin-1 activity following lipopolysaccharide stimulation without any alteration in the expression of membrane-bound interleukin-1. Thioglycolate-elicited peritoneal exudate cells from DMN-exposed animals demonstrated no changes in cellularity and only showed increases in the percentage of bi-nucleated cells. There were no alterations in the capacity of T cells obtained from DMN-treated animals to respond to either soluble (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) or allo-antigens; nor were there alterations in the capacity of these T cells to either produce or respond to interleukin-2. These findings suggest that the observed DMN-induced modulation(s) in cell-mediated immunity results from changes in macrophage hematopoiesis due to alterations in: the production of regulatory factors controlling their production and/or differentiation or their ability to respond to these factors.
