摘要

使用传统药物治疗这种疾病的效果并不理想。因此，迫切需要替代治疗方法。本研究旨在通过评估寄生虫负担、免疫调节基因表达和组织病理学特征，研究在小鼠模型中使用长柄格桑子（Gossypium hirsutum niosomes）对皮肤利什曼病的潜在抗利什曼病活性，并评估其有效性。我们制备了长春花苷胶囊，并对其形态、大小、傅立叶变换红外光谱（FT-IR）和封装效率进行了表征。通过评估寄生虫载量、组织病理学特征和基因表达水平，评价了大花蓟黄酮胶囊的体内抗利什曼病活性。与 Glucantime® 相比，用不同组的 G. hirsutum niosomes 和 G. hirsutum 提取物（30%）处理 BALB/c 小鼠的脾脏寄生虫量显著减少。在 H 和 E 染色的组织学切片中观察到的利什曼寄生虫数量最少（+1 级），其次是 G. hirsutum niosomes 或 G. hirsutum 粗提取物（+3 级）、Glucantime®（+4 级），而未经处理的对照组数量最多（+6 级）。各处理组之间存在显著差异（P < 0.001）。此外，与提取物和 Glucantime® 相比，G. hirsutum niosomes 能上调基因水平（尤其是 IFN-γ，P < 0.001）。相反，与未处理的对照组相比，IL-4、IL-10 和 TNF-β 的水平明显下降（P < 0.001）。这些结果表明，G. hirsutum niosomes 有可能被视为治疗利什曼病的一种有前途的替代疗法。有必要进一步研究其作用机制，并优化其临床应用配方。

The use of conventional drugs is not a satisfactory treatment for the disease. Therefore, there is a crucial need for alternative therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to investigate the potential anti-leishmanial activity of Gossypium hirsutum niosomes against cutaneous leishmaniasis in a murine model and evaluate their effectiveness by assessing parasite burden, immunomodulatory gene expression, and histopathological profile. We prepared G. hirsutum niosomes and characterized their morphology, size, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and encapsulation efficiency. The in vivo anti-leishmanial activity of the niosomes was evaluated by assessing parasite burden, histopathological profile, and gene expression level. The spleen parasite load in BALB/c mice treated with different groups of G. hirsutum niosomes and G. hirsutum extracts (30%), demonstrated a significant decrease compared to Glucantime®. The least number of leishmanial parasites was observed in H and E-stained histological sections (grade+1), followed by G. hirsutum niosomes or G. hirsutum crude extract (grade+3), Glucantime® (grade+4) and the highest number in the untreated control group (grade+6). There was a substantial difference (P < 0.001) among various treatment groups. Moreover, G. hirsutum niosomes up-regulated the levels of the gene (particularly IFN-γ, P < 0.001) compared to the extract form and Glucantime®. In contrast, IL-4, IL-10, and TNF-β were significantly decreased (P < 0.001) in comparison to untreated control. These results suggest that G. hirsutum niosomes have the potential to be considered a promising alternative therapy for leishmaniasis. Further research is warranted to explore their mechanism of action and optimize their formulation for clinical use.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
