Abstract

Because there is no vaccine in clinical use, control of Leishmaniasis relies almost exclusively on chemotherapy and the conventional treatments exhibit high toxicity for patients and emerging drug resistance. Recently, we showed that oral treatment with synthetic pyrazole carbohydrazide compounds induced lower parasite load in draining lymph nodes and reduced skin lesion size without causing any toxic effects in an experimental murine infection model with Leishmania amazonensis. In this study, CBA mice were infected in the footpad with L. amazonensis and then orally treated with pyrazole carbohydrazides derivatives, such as BrNO(2), NO(2)Cl and NO(2)Br and their histopathological and immunological effects were then investigated. Epidermis and dermis had lower levels of inflammatory infiltration compared to the infected untreated control mice. In the dermis of treated animals, the numbers of vacuolated macrophages containing intracellular parasites were far lower than in infected untreated animals. In addition to dermal macrophages, we also observed a mixed inflammatory infiltrate containing lymphocytes and granulocyte cells. Lower numbers of B cells (B220+) and T lymphocytes (CD3+) were identified in the lesions of treated mice compared with the untreated, infected mice. In draining lymph node cells, the number of T lymphocytes (CD3+) was decreased, and the numbers of B cells (CD19+) and CD8+ T cells were increased in infected mice, when compared with the non-infected control group. In additional, we have shown that infected treated and untreated lymph node cells had similar levels of TGF-β and IFN-γ mRNA expression, whereas IL-4 was expressed at a lower level in the treated group. Increased levels of the specific anti-Leishmania IgG2a or IgG3 antibody subclass were observed in NO(2)Cl or BrNO(2)-treated group, respectively. Overall, our experimental findings suggest that pyrazole carbohydrazides exert modulation of IL-4 expression and B cell levels; however, further evaluation is required to determine the optimal treatment regime.

摘要

由于目前尚无临床使用的疫苗,因此控制利什曼病几乎完全依赖于化学疗法,而常规疗法对患者具有很高的毒性,并出现了药物耐药性。最近,我们表明,在感染巴西利什曼原虫(Leishmania amazonensis)的实验性小鼠感染模型中,口服合成吡唑甲脒化合物可降低引流淋巴结中的寄生虫载量,并减小皮肤损伤的大小,而不会对患者造成任何毒副作用。在这项研究中,CBA 小鼠的脚掌被感染,然后用吡唑甲脒化合物衍生物(例如 BrNO2、NO2Cl 和 NO2Br)进行口服治疗,然后研究其组织病理学和免疫学作用。与未感染未治疗的对照小鼠相比,表皮和真皮的炎症浸润水平较低。在治疗动物的真皮中,含有细胞内寄生虫的空泡化巨噬细胞的数量远低于未感染未治疗的动物。除了真皮巨噬细胞外,我们还观察到含有淋巴细胞和粒细胞的混合炎症浸润。与未感染未治疗的小鼠相比,治疗小鼠的病变中 B 细胞(B220+)和 T 淋巴细胞(CD3+)的数量减少。与非感染对照组相比,在感染的小鼠中,引流淋巴结细胞中的 T 淋巴细胞(CD3+)数量减少,B 细胞(CD19+)和 CD8+T 细胞的数量增加。此外,我们已经表明,感染的治疗和未治疗的淋巴结细胞具有相似水平的 TGF-β和 IFN-γ mRNA 表达,而在治疗组中 IL-4 的表达水平较低。在 NO2Cl 或 BrNO2 处理组中,分别观察到特异性抗利什曼原虫 IgG2a 或 IgG3 抗体亚类的水平升高。总体而言,我们的实验结果表明,吡唑甲脒化合物发挥了对 IL-4 表达和 B 细胞水平的调节作用;但是,需要进一步评估以确定最佳的治疗方案。
