The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Fasciola gigantica excretory secretory antigen (Fg-ESA) on rat hematological indices. Fg-ESA was prepared by keeping thoroughly washed 40 F. gigantica flukes in 100 ml phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for 2 h at 37 degrees C, and centrifuging the supernatant at 12,000 g at 4 degrees C for 30 min. The protein content of Fg-ESA was adjusted to 1.8 mg/ml. The rats were randomly divided into two groups of six rats each. Rats in group A received 0.5 ml of Fg-ESA intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 7 days, whereas control rats in group B received 0.5 ml of PBS i.p. for 7 days. Hemograms of both groups were studied initially and on days 0, 2, 4, 14 and 21 after the final injection of Fg-ESA or PBS. Progressive and significant (p < 0.01) declines in the values of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and total erythrocyte count were observed without significant (p > 0.05) changes in the values of mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, or mean corpuscular volume in group A. Thus, we conclude that Fg-ESA induces normocytic normochromic anemia in rats.
本研究旨在探讨巨片形吸虫排泄分泌抗原(Fg-ESA)对大鼠血液学指标的影响。通过将40条彻底清洗后的巨片形吸虫置于100 ml磷酸盐缓冲盐水(PBS)中,在37℃下孵育2小时,然后在4℃下以12,000 g离心30分钟,制备Fg-ESA。将Fg-ESA的蛋白质含量调整至1.8 mg/ml。将大鼠随机分为两组,每组6只。A组大鼠腹腔注射(i.p.)0.5 ml Fg-ESA,共7天,而B组作为对照大鼠腹腔注射0.5 ml PBS,共7天。在首次注射Fg-ESA或PBS之前以及最后一次注射后的第0、2、4、14和21天,对两组大鼠进行血常规检查。观察到A组大鼠的血红蛋白、血细胞比容和红细胞总数的值呈进行性且显著(p < 0.01)下降,而平均红细胞血红蛋白、平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度或平均红细胞体积的值无显著(p > 0.05)变化。因此,我们得出结论,Fg-ESA可诱导大鼠发生正细胞正色素性贫血。
