Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is proposed that Trichinella infection or Trichinella-derived molecules(Tp53)modulate host’s immunity. In this study, we investigated the effect of Trichinella infection or Tp53 on immediate hypersensitivity in mice sensitized with Japanese cedar pollen. As a result, trichinella infection or Tp53 administration attenuated inflammatory reactions in the lungs, and production of specific IgE, IgG2a, IgG2b antibody decreased. In addition, production of IL-4 and IL-17 in infected mouse spleen cells or splenocytes treated with Tp53 was suppressed. And our observation showed that the Tp53 suppressed NF-κB signal pathway of macrophage, as indicated by the results of inhibition of LPS stimulation-induced NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, phosphrylation of NF-κB signal proteins (IKK, p65 and IκBα) and degradation of IκBα. The results suggest that the Tp53 protein may modulate host immune response by inhibiting macrophage activation via specifically affecting NF-κB signal pathway.
