- Abstract
- Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis) estabilishes long term parasitism within bile ducts of humans without notable symptoms. General down-modulated host immune responses in helminth infestation are maintained by excretory-secretory products (ESP), produced by the live parasites and considered as an important immunomodulator in this context. Co-culture experiments with RAW264.7 cells and C. sinensis adults worms through permeable transwell demonstrated that ESP from living C. sinensis functioned as a ligand for TLR4, but effectively attenuated LPS-induced IL-6 and NO production. On the other hands, upsurged secretion of antiinflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β were observed by C. sinensis ESP treatment. Reference base study found out that thioredoxin peroxidase (TPX) of helminth parasites had an immune-modulating property toward Th2 type through induction of regulatory phenotype of macrophages. Hence, recombinant TPX of C. sinensis was produced and its gene was registered at Genbank (AND65138.1). The CS-TPX reduced LPS-induced expression of TLR4 on cell surface of RAW264.7 cells and LPS-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators NO, TNF-α and IL-6. Moreover, CS-TPX induces IL-10, but not TGF-β. Pull-down assay result revealed the direct interaction between CS-TPX and TLR4 protein. Furthermore, the smallest recombinant fragment of CS-TPX, which is T44, has comparable anti-inflammatory. In conclusion, this study described the macrophage regulatory function of C. sinensis ESP and the smallest fragment of CS-TPX, T44, could function of the negative regulator in LPS treated macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cells. Defined CS-TPX T44 will be one of the best candidates for therapeutic immunosuppressant in allergies and autoimmune diseases.
