Cryptosporidium parvum is an important cause of diarrhea in humans and several animal species. Prostaglandins play a central role in regulating intestinal fluid secretion in animal models of cryptosporidiosis, but their cellular sources and mechanisms of induction are unclear. Here, we show that C. parvum infection directly activates prostaglandin H synthase 2 expression and prostaglandin E2 and F2alpha production in human intestinal epithelial cells.
微小隐孢子虫是人类和多种动物腹泻的重要病因。在隐孢子虫病动物模型中,前列腺素在调节肠道液体分泌方面发挥着核心作用,但其细胞来源和诱导机制尚不清楚。在此,我们表明微小隐孢子虫感染可直接激活人肠上皮细胞中前列腺素H合酶2的表达以及前列腺素E2和F2α的产生。
