In this work, the efficiency of crude MeOH extracts and soluble glycoprotein fraction of Allium sativum purified by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) on parasitological, histopathological and some biochemical parameters in Schistosoma mansoni infected mice were investigated. Animals were infected by tail immersion with 100 cercariae/each mouse and divided into five groups in addition to the normal control. The results revealed a significant decrease in mean worm burden in all treated mice especially in the group treated with soluble glycoprotein fraction of A. sativum as compared to infected non-treated control with the disappearance of female worms. Administration of the studied extracts revealed remarkable amelioration in the levels of all the measured parameters in S. mansoni infected mice. In addition, treatment of mice with crude A. sativum MeOH extract and soluble glycoprotein fraction of A. sativum decreased significantly the activities of studied enzymes as compared to the infected untreated group. The highest degrees of enhancement in pathological changes was observed in the treated one with soluble glycoprotein fraction of A. sativum compared to the infected group represented by small sized, late fibro-cellular granuloma, the decrease in cellular constituents and degenerative changes in eggs. In conclusion, A. sativum treatment had effective schistosomicidal activities, through reduction of worm burden and tissue eggs, especially when it was given in purified glycoprotein fraction. Moreover, the soluble glycoprotein fraction of A. sativum largely modulates both the size and the number of granulomas.
在本研究中,我们调查了大蒜粗甲醇提取物以及经尺寸排阻色谱(SEC)纯化的大蒜可溶性糖蛋白组分,对曼氏血吸虫感染小鼠的寄生虫学、组织病理学及一些生化参数的影响。通过尾浸法使动物感染,每只小鼠感染100只尾蚴,并将其分为五组,另外设正常对照组。结果显示,与未治疗的感染对照组相比,所有治疗组小鼠的平均虫负荷均显著降低,尤其是用大蒜可溶性糖蛋白组分治疗的组,且雌虫消失。给予所研究的提取物后,曼氏血吸虫感染小鼠的所有测量参数水平均有显著改善。此外,与未治疗的感染组相比,用大蒜粗甲醇提取物和大蒜可溶性糖蛋白组分治疗小鼠可显著降低所研究酶的活性。与以小尺寸、晚期纤维细胞性肉芽肿为特征的感染组相比,用大蒜可溶性糖蛋白组分治疗的组病理变化改善程度最高,细胞成分减少,虫卵出现退行性变化。总之,大蒜治疗具有有效的杀血吸虫活性,可通过减少虫负荷和组织虫卵来实现,尤其是以纯化糖蛋白组分给药时。此外,大蒜可溶性糖蛋白组分在很大程度上调节了肉芽肿的大小和数量。
