Abstract

Schistosomiasis mansoni is considered one of the most common fibrotic diseases resulting from inflammation and deposition of fibrous tissue around parasitic eggs trapped in the liver, causing morbidity and mortality. Chemotherapy against schistosomiasis is largely dependent on Praziquantel (PZQ). Yet, the huge administration of it in endemic areas and its incompetence towards the immature stages have raised serious alarms against the development of drug resistance. Few drugs are directed to reverse schistosomal liver fibrosis, particularly at the chronic and advanced stages of the disease. Recently, protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors have been identified as potent anti-schistosomal and anti-fibrotic drugs against schistosomes, that may suppress and reverse Schistosoma mansoni (S. mansoni) induced liver fibrosis. The present study was designed to assess the anti-schistosomal and antifibrotic activity of Genistein, a PTK inhibitor, in comparison to PZQ, on both acute and chronic S. mansoni-infected mice using different parasitological, histopathological and immunohistochemical studies. Genistein showed a significant reduction (P < .05) in total worm burden, tissue egg load, mean hepatic granulomas diameter and numbers, percentage of collagen and expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β 1) in the examined hepatocytes with elevation in percentage of degenerated ova, in comparison to the control groups, in both acute and chronic stages of infection. The best results were obtained when Genistein was combined with PZQ. Therefore, it was concluded that Genistein showed a promising anti-schistosomal and anti-fibrotic properties which could make it one of the new potential targets in chemotherapy against schistosomiasis.

摘要

曼氏血吸虫病被认为是最常见的纤维化疾病之一,它是由被困在肝脏中的寄生虫卵周围的炎症和纤维组织沉积引起的,会导致发病和死亡。针对血吸虫病的化疗在很大程度上依赖于吡喹酮(PZQ)。然而,在流行地区大量使用该药以及其对未成熟阶段无效,引发了对耐药性发展的严重担忧。很少有药物能针对逆转血吸虫性肝纤维化,尤其是在疾病的慢性和晚期阶段。最近,蛋白酪氨酸激酶(PTK)抑制剂已被确定为针对血吸虫的有效抗血吸虫和抗纤维化药物,可能会抑制和逆转曼氏血吸虫(S. mansoni)诱导的肝纤维化。本研究旨在通过不同的寄生虫学、组织病理学和免疫组织化学研究,评估PTK抑制剂染料木黄酮与PZQ相比,对急性和慢性感染曼氏血吸虫的小鼠的抗血吸虫和抗纤维化活性。与对照组相比,在急性和慢性感染阶段,染料木黄酮在检查的肝细胞中显示出总虫负荷、组织虫卵负荷、平均肝肉芽肿直径和数量、胶原蛋白百分比以及转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)表达的显著降低(P < 0.05),同时退化虫卵百分比升高。当染料木黄酮与PZQ联合使用时获得了最佳结果。因此,得出的结论是,染料木黄酮显示出有前景的抗血吸虫和抗纤维化特性,这可能使其成为抗血吸虫病化疗的新潜在靶点之一。
