Ascariasis is a neglected tropical disease that is widespread in the world and has important socioeconomic impacts. The presence of various stages of worm development in the pulmonary and intestinal mucosae induces a humoral and cellular immune response. However, although there is much evidence of the protective role of mucosal immunity against various pathogens, including helminths, there is still a gap in the knowledge about the immune response and the mechanisms of action that are involved in protection against diseases, especially in the initial phase of ascariasis. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the kinetic aspects of the immune parasitological parameters in intestinal and pulmonary mucosae in male mice with early ascariasis. Therefore, two mouse strains that showed different susceptibilities to ascariasis (BALB/c and C57BL/6J) when experimentally infected with 2,500 infective eggs of Ascaris suum from time point 0 were examined: the immune parasitological parameters were evaluated each 2 days after infection over a period of 12 days. The results were suggestive of a synergetic action of intestinal and pulmonary secretory IgA (S-IgA) contributing to protection against early ascariasis by reducing the amount of migrating larvae as well as the influx of leukocytes in the lung and the consequent impairment of pulmonary capacity.
蛔虫病是一种被忽视的热带病,在世界范围内广泛存在,对社会经济有重要影响。各种阶段的虫体在肺和肠道黏膜中发育,会引起体液和细胞免疫反应。然而,尽管有大量证据表明黏膜免疫对包括蠕虫在内的各种病原体具有保护作用,但对于免疫反应以及与疾病保护相关的作用机制仍存在知识空白,特别是在蛔虫病的初始阶段。因此,本研究旨在评估早期蛔虫病雄性小鼠肠道和肺部黏膜中寄生虫免疫参数的动态变化。为此,我们选择了两种在实验感染 2500 个猪蛔虫感染性虫卵时对蛔虫病易感性不同的小鼠品系(BALB/c 和 C57BL/6J):从感染后 0 天开始,每隔 2 天评估一次感染后 12 天内的寄生虫免疫参数。结果表明,肠道和肺部分泌型免疫球蛋白 A(S-IgA)的协同作用有助于预防早期蛔虫病,减少迁移幼虫的数量,并减少白细胞在肺部的浸润,从而降低肺部容量的损害。
