日本血吸虫卵胚胎发育的组织化学研究 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
血吸虫病的病变和发病机理是由于虫卵在人体组织中引起肉芽肿所致。目前认为发育成熟含毛蚴的血吸虫卵分泌可溶性抗原物质,它致敏寄主后,使淋巴细胞、巨噬细胞和嗜酸粒细胞集聚在虫卵周围形成了肉芽肿,并证明血吸虫卵肉芽肿是属于迟发型超敏免疫反应(Warren,1972)。Warren等(1975)还认为日本血吸虫卵和曼氏血吸虫卵肉芽肿形成的有关免疫因素及发病机理可能有所不同。通过组织化学的途径对组织内日本血吸虫卵胚胎发育的研究,不仅有助于探讨血吸虫卵发育的生理及寄主组织和虫卵之间的相互关系,而且对血吸虫病的病原诊断方面亦有一定的实际意义。为此,作者对沉积于组织内的虫卵从受精卵细胞至形成毛蚴的胚胎发育全过程进行了一般组织学及组织化学的观察。 相似文献

Murine schistosomiasis is usually associated with hepatic granulomatous lesions together with high serum and granuloma angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity. Praziquantel (PRZ) which is known to reduce granuloma size was studied to show whether this effect is related to changes in ACE activity. Furthermore, captopril was studied to show whether by inhibiting ACE activity, the drug could also affect granuloma size. PRZ, captopril, and their combination led to significant reduction in liver granuloma. However, in normal mice, captopril was shown to increase rather than decrease serum ACE. The decrease in ACE activity by PRZ was correlated with its curative effect in infected mice. However, in experimentally induced pulmonary granulomata, the drug reduced granuloma size without affecting ACE activity of either serum or granuloma. It may be concluded that reduction in ACE activity may be beneficial as far as diminution of granuloma size is concerned and irrespective of whether there is an active infection or not. The possible use of Captopril as an antihypertensive in bilharzial infections associated with hypertension would probably not adversely affect the granulomatous lesions. 相似文献

Granulomas are inflammatory tissue responses directed to a set of antigens. Trapped Schistosoma mansoni eggs promote productive granulomas in the tissues, and they are the main damage caused by schistosomiasis. Some S. mansoni antigenic proteins may have a direct involvement in the resolution of the granulomatous response. The ATP diphosphohydrolases isoforms of this parasite are immunogenic, expressed in all phases of the parasite life cycle and secreted by eggs and adult worms. Potato apyrase is a vegetable protein that cross-reactive with parasite ATP diphosphohydrolases isoforms. In this study, the vegetable protein was purified, before being inoculated in C57BL/6 mice that were later infected with cercariae. Sixty days after infection, adult worms were recovered, antibodies and cytokines were measured, and morphological granuloma alterations evaluated. Immunization of the animals induced significant levels of IgG and IgG1 antibodies and IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-5 cytokines, but not IL-13, suggesting that potato apyrase is an immunoregulatory protein. Supporting this hypothesis, it was found that liver damage associated with schistosomiasis was mitigated, reducing the size of the areas affected by granuloma to 35% and increasing the presence of multinucleated giant cells in this environment. In conclusion, potato apyrase was found to be effective immunomodulatory antigen for murine schistosomiasis. 相似文献

In vitro delayed hypersensitivity granuloma formation: development of an antigen-coated bead model 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Previously, we have described an in vitro model of granulomatous hypersensitivity around Schistosoma mansoni eggs in both the murine model of schistosomiasis and in human schistosomiasis. These studies describe a new model of in vitro granuloma formation that complexes soluble egg antigen from S. mansoni eggs, a partially purified protein derivative of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (PPD), or bovine serum albumin to carrier beads. Ultrastructural and morphologic evaluations demonstrate that there are initial macrophage interactions, followed by the recruitment of antigen-specific T cells that interact with and recruit macrophages, lymphocytes, granulocytes, and fibroblasts. Finally, there is a stage of granulomatous organization involving fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. The in vitro reactivity, defined by a quantitative granuloma index, correlates with in vivo granulomas around S. mansoni eggs in the livers of infected cell donor animals. In vitro granuloma formation against PPD-coated beads correlated with delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity against PPD, which was judged by footpad swelling. The reactions demonstrate antigenic specificity and were intrinsically modulated in a manner that is analogous to that previously shown with the in vitro egg granuloma model. This model of in vitro granuloma formation promises to be a useful tool for elucidating mechanisms of cellular immunity and regulation. 相似文献

Fibroblast stimulation in schistosomiasis. V. Egg granuloma macrophages spontaneously secrete a fibroblast-stimulating factor 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Isolated intact egg granulomas from the liver of Schistosoma mansoni-infected mice have been previously shown to elaborate factors in vitro that can stimulate fibroblasts for biological functions that are of potential importance in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis in schistosomiasis. We report here that cell cultures obtained from monodispersed granuloma cell suspensions, and specifically enriched for macrophages (95% to 100%) spontaneously elaborated fibroblast proliferation-stimulating activity in vitro. These cells possessed functional and phenotyptic characteristics of activated macrophages. In contrast, control peritoneal macrophages from uninfected mice lacked such phenotypic characteristics, and did not spontaneously elaborate fibrogenic activity in vitro. The granuloma macrophage activity was present, pre-formed within the isolated cells, and was continuously elaborated during 72 hr of incubation. By gel infiltration chromatography (Sephacryl S-200 sf), fibroblast-stimulating activity was identified in two pooled fractions, one with estimated molecular radius (Mr) of 46 kd to 57 kd and the other with Mr of 10 kd to 16 kd. Preparative isoelectric focusing in granular gel of crude macrophage culture supernatants identified peak activity in fractions with pI approximately 5. Two different serine esterase inhibitors had no effect on the ability of crude granuloma macrophage supernatants to stimulate fibroblast proliferation. Whereas crude and chromatographed fractions of granuloma macrophage supernatant were active for fibroblasts, they had minimal or no interleukin 1 (IL 1) activity when tested in a thymocyte proliferation assay. In contrast, resident peritoneal macrophages from the same infected mice spontaneously secreted substantial IL 1 and fibroblast-stimulating activity in vitro. We conclude that egg granuloma macrophages are activated in vivo to secrete fibrogenic molecules functionally distinct from IL 1, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis in schistosomiasis. 相似文献

Schistosomiasis is one disease produced by helminths, which affect many people in tropical areas. Granuloma formation is the main mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. Experimental studies have demonstrated angiogenesis (blood vessels formation from pre-existing vessels) in the initial phase of granuloma formation. In the present work, VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) levels were analyzed in sera from people diagnosed with different helminthic infections. Patients with schistosomiasis and filariasis had significantly high VEGF levels in compared with healthy people and patients diagnosed with hookworms. In addition, the effects of angiogenesis inhibition using anti-angiogenic factors (endostatin) were evaluated in a schistosomiasis murine model. A lesion decrease was observed in mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni and treated with endostatin. Finally, mechanisms of angiogenesis induction were studied and observed that cercariae antigens stimulated the angiogenic factors by host alveolar macrophages. 相似文献

The granuloma that surrounds the Schistosoma mansoni egg is the cause of pathology in murine schistosomiasis, and its formation is driven by egg Ag-stimulated type 1 and type 2 cytokines. To determine the role of egg-driven immune responses during schistosome infection we rendered CBA/Ca mice unresponsive to schistosome eggs by combined cyclophosphamide treatment and thymectomy. In the early acute stages of schistosome infection, egg-tolerized mice suffered high mortalities. Granuloma size and deposition of collagen in the liver were significantly reduced in egg-tolerized mice. Similarly, limited granuloma responses were detected in the intestines of these mice, and this was associated with a >90% reduction in egg excretion. Histologically, egg-tolerized mice had exacerbated hepatocyte damage, with extensive microvesicular steatosis. Elevated plasma transaminase levels confirmed the damage to hepatocytes. Infected egg-tolerized mice had impaired proliferation responses to egg Ag but intact responses to worm Ag. Tolerized mice had diminished Ab responses to egg Ag and had a type 1 cytokine isotype pattern to worm Ag, with elevated IgG2a and diminished IgG1 and IgE. Egg-tolerized mice failed to down-regulate type 1 cytokines that are normally elicited during early schistosome infection. Hepatic granuloma cells from egg-tolerized mice were also type 1 cytokine dominated, with elevated frequencies of Tc1/Th1 and reduced Tc2/Th2 cells. This study demonstrates that mice tolerized to schistosome eggs have elevated type 1 cytokine responses with diminished type 2 responses and reduced anti-egg Ab during schistosome infection, and these effects are detrimental to the host. 相似文献

Differential immunoregulation of granulomatous inflammation, portal hypertension, and hepatic fibrosis in murine schistosomiasis mansoni 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The present study investigates the immunoregulation of hepatic fibrosis in experimental murine schistosomiasis. Disease parameters measured were portal pressure, hepatic granuloma area, hepatic interstitial collagen, and glycosaminoglycans. C57BL/6 mice were infected with 25 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae and administered splenocytes or serum derived from uninfected mice or chronically infect syngeneic mice at 6 and 7 wk of infection. Immunologically mediated modulation was noted in animals receiving splenocytes derived from chronically infected mice. Both a reduction in portal pressure and hepatic granuloma areas were noted. Hepatic collagen content but not glycosaminoglycan content was reduced by the administration of either lymphoid cells or serum from chronically infected mice. The isotypic profile of hepatic interstitial collagens was modulated by both the administration of serum or lymphoid cells. Augmented levels of type III collagen was noted on administration of serum derived from chronically infected mice, whereas type I collagen levels were relatively elevated on administration of splenocytes. The data indicate that immunomodulation of inflammation and hepatic fibrosis can occur in murine schistosomiasis but that fibrotic events and inflammatory processes are independently modulated. 相似文献

We did this experiment to clarify the mechanism of granuloma formation and the killing functions of granuloma in nude mice against Blastomyces dermatitidis and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infections.
B. dermatitidis A-295 and P. brasiliensis B-1183 were the cultures used. Congenitally athymic nude (nu/ nu) mice and their heterozygous (nu/ +) littermates of BALB/ c background were the test animals. From culture A-295, 0.1% and 1% cell suspensions (wet weight) were prepared and from culture B-1183 0.2% and 2% cells suspensions were prepared. Ten nu/ + and 10 nu/ nu mice were allotted to each of four cell suspensions. For experimental blastomycosis each mouse was inoculated intravenously with 0.2 ml of the cell suspension of A-295 and for experimental paracoccidioidomycosis, with 0.15 ml of the cell suspension of B-1183. Two mice from each of the four groups were killed at 5, 8, 12, 18 and 25 days after inoculation, and histopathologic sections, stained with H&E or by PAS, were prepared from various internal organs.In the nu/ nu mice inoculated with B. dermatitidis A-295 granuloma was formed in the brain tissue after the 12th day. However, mononuclear cells, which formed the granuloma, did not kill the fungal cells, and the fungal cells continued to multiply in the granuloma. On the other hand, in the heart, kidney and fat tissue, their histopathological findings after the 18th day were clumps of fungal cells with slight cell reactions. In these organs the exertion of cell-mediated immunity was necessary for granuloma formation against the fungal infection.In the nu/ nu mice infected with P. brasiliensis B-1183, granuloma appeared in the brain and kidney after the 18th day and fungal cells continued to multiply within the granuloma as well as in those inoculated with culture A-295.These results show that the exertion of cell-mediated immunity plays an important role as the defense mechanisms of hosts against these fungal infections. However, PMNs also play an important role in the mouse's defense mechanisms against these fungal infections.We assume that the defense mechanisms of immunocompetent mice against B. dermatitidis or P. brasiliensis infection consist chiefly of two steps: in the first step phagocytosis by PMNs occurs and in the second step cell-mediated immunity enters into play. 相似文献

Levels of circulating tumour necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and its soluble receptors are elevated in chronic human schistosomiasis. However, the kinetics of TNF-alpha production and release of its soluble receptors have not been studied in humans or animals. Here we report on increased levels of TNF-alpha and its soluble receptors in murine schistosomiasis, beginning with schistosome oviposition and circumoval granuloma formation. TNF-alpha, sTNF-RI and sTNF-RII were measured in sera of mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni each week for 10 weeks postinfection. TNF-alpha levels increased gradually in all mice during the first 3 weeks. From 6th week postinfection, TNF-alpha levels in infected mice increased steadily, whereas those of uninfected mice remained essentially unchanged. sTNF-RI levels fluctuated in all mice during the first 3 weeks, and increased in infected mice during the following 5 weeks. sTNF-RII levels were similar in all mice for the first 4 weeks but increased in infected mice throughout the remainder of the experimental period. These data may be helpful in understanding pathogenesis in schistosomiasis as TNF-alpha plays a crucial role in circumoval granuloma formation and adversely affects schistosome fecundity. 相似文献
