The Role of Dicrocoelium dendriticum Egg Antigen in Colitis: A Molecular, Pathological and Serological Study in an Experimental Model of C57BL/6 Mice
Background
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurrent disease of the gastrointestinal tract that enhances the chance of developing colorectal cancer. Since standard treatments such as Mesalazine have limited effectiveness and are often accompanied by numerous side effects, the use of immune modulators derived from worms has been proposed as a new immunotherapy method for inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effects of D. dendriticum egg antigen on DSS-induced colitis in C57BL/6 mice.
Methods
D. dendriticum egg antigen was extracted and DSS (3.5%) was used to induce colitis in mice. Treatment and prophylaxis included intraperitoneal injections of D. dendriticum egg antigen. Histopathological indicators and the disease activity index (DAI), including weight loss, rectal bleeding, stool consistency, and rectal prolapse, were used to assess the severity of colitis. Real-time PCR measured the expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and interleukin-17 (IL-17), while ELISA determined the concentration of these cytokines.
Results
Treatment with D. dendriticum egg antigen significantly improved the clinical symptoms and decreased the severity of DSS-induced colitis. Furthermore, D. dendriticum egg antigen increased the expression of TGF-β mRNA and reduced the expression of IL-17 mRNA, leading to a positive adjustment in the regulation of proteins and reduction of inflammatory proteins. As a result, the macroscopic, microscopic inflammation and activity index (DAI) of DSS-induced decreased.
Conclusion
D. dendriticum egg antigen provides a promising new way to modulate the immune system and improve ulcerative colitis.
期刊介绍:
Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject.
Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews.
The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
