Abstract Humans and animals possess robust immune systems to safeguard against foreign pathogens. However, recent reports suggest a greater incidence of immunity breakdown due exposure environmental pollutants, with heavy metals emerging as potential candidates in such immuno‐toxicological studies. While we have extensive data on the general toxicity resulting from metals, comprehensive documentation their role disruptors remains scarce. Cd (Cadmium) exerts immunomodulation by interfering organs cells, leading altered structure, physiology, function, thereby inducing symptoms deregulation, inflammation and/or autoimmunity. This review aims summarize link between dysfunction, drawing case studies exposed human subjects, well research conducted various model organisms in‐vitro culture systems.

Our study investigated the association between PM and response, as well changes using high-dimensional landscape profiling cytometry by time-of-flight (EpiTOF) at single cell. We found statistically significant associations levels of certain cytokines [interleukin-1RA (IL-1RA), IL-8/CXCL8, IL-18, IL-27)] histone posttranslational modifications (HPTMs) in cells (HPTMs: H3K9ac, H3K23ac, H3K27ac, H2BK120ub, H4K20me1/3, H3K9me1/2) among pregnant nonpregnant women. The cord blood neonates with high maternal showed lower IL-27 than those low exposure. Furthermore, affects co-modification profiles women their neonates, along HPTMs each cell type These specific histones could indicate toxicological mechanism inflammation, inflammasome pathway, complications.
