Differential interleukin-8 and nitric oxide production in epithelial cells induced by mucosally invasive and noninvasive Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes.

چکیده
Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclic trypomastigotes (MT), but not blood form trypomastigotes (BFT), are highly mucosally infective. We investigated the abilities of MT and BFT to induce inflammation and/or intracellular killing activity within mucosal epithelia. BFT, but not MT, induced marked increases in interleukin-8, GRO-alpha, MCP-1, and nitric oxide production in HeLa and AGS cells, despite similar infectivities. MT may avoid induction of inflammation as an important biological mechanism facilitating mucosal invasion.

Mouse Macrophage Galactose-type Lectin (mMGL) is Critical for Host Resistance against Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
The C-type lectin receptor mMGL is expressed exclusively by myeloid antigen presenting cells (APC) such as dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages (Mφ), and it mediates binding to glycoproteins carrying terminal galactose and α- or β-N-acetylgalactosamine (Gal/GalNAc) residues. Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) expresses large amounts of mucin (TcMUC)-like glycoproteins. Here, we show by lectin-blot th...

Introduction: The innate immune response is the first mechanism of protection against Trypanosoma cruzi, and the interaction of inflammatory cells with parasite molecules may activate this response and modulate the adaptive immune system. This study aimed to analyze the levels of cytokines and chemokines synthesized by the whole blood cells (WBC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of...
متن کاملAlternative activation and increase of Trypanosoma cruzi survival in murine macrophages stimulated by cruzipain, a parasite antigen.
We studied the macrophage (Mo) activation pathways through Mo interaction with immunogenic Trypanosoma cruzi antigens as cruzipain (Cz) and R13. J774 cells, peritoneal and spleen Mo from normal mice, were used. Although Mo classic activation was observed in the presence of lipopolysaccharide, evaluated through nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin (IL)-12 production, Cz and R13 did not activate Mo ...

متن کاملThe role of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of Chagas disease.
In this chapter we summarize the protective and toxic effects of nitric oxide (NO) that are frequently seen in parallel during the infection with Trypanosoma cruzi. The killing of trypomastigotes is dependent on the production of NO which is catalyzed by the inducible NO synthase (iNOS). The cytokines IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and several chemoatractants molecules, which act on G protein-coupled ...
