【摘要】:微小隐孢子虫(Cryptosporidium parvum)是一种全球性分布的寄生于宿主消化道上皮细胞刷状缘等的人兽共患寄生原虫,严重威胁着人和家畜的健康。自1907年Tyzzer首先在小鼠的胃消化腺上皮细胞内发现鼠隐孢子虫(C.muris)以来,已在包括人在内的5类脊椎动物体内发现了隐孢子虫属的27个有效种。由C.parvum引起的隐孢子虫病主要危害人和牛、山羊、绵羊等重要经济动物,尤其犊牛在动物和人的隐孢子虫病互传中扮演着主要角色。由于目前隐孢子虫病防治尚缺乏有效的药物和疫苗,因此,深入探讨宿主对隐孢子虫免疫防御机制、尤其是弄清宿主抗隐孢子虫感染的关键细胞亚群及其作用机制,将为寻找关键靶标、研发预防性疫苗及特异性药物和有效防控隐孢子虫病提供思路。本研究首先对两株Ⅱd亚型的C.parvum进行鉴定,选取合适的分离株感染BALB/c小鼠,建立感染模型;以感染模型为基础,检测C.parvum感染BALB/c小鼠的脾脏、小肠相关淋巴组织中Th17主效应细胞因子IL-17及Th17细胞分化、效应相关细胞因子、转录因子及转导分子在不同时间点的表达变化情况,以此来明确Th17细胞在C.parvum感染和清除中的作用。1.为建立合适的感染动物模型,将C.parvum的两个分离株进行鉴定,并选取ⅡdA15G2R1亚型作为受试卵囊,按照每只1×106个微小隐孢子虫卵囊分别经口感染BALB/c小鼠,测定其排卵囊规律,发现小鼠于感染后1 d到20 d连续排卵囊,感染后21 d停止排卵囊;并对其排出卵囊进行形态学及基因型(18S rRNA)鉴定,遗传稳定性良好。2.应用实时定量PCR(Quantitative Real time-PCR)测定感染后不同时间脾脏和肠相关淋巴组织中Th17细胞亚群分化相关促进因子(TGF-β、IL-6)、转录因子(RORγt)和信号传导分子(STAT-3)的表达和变化,结果显示在C.parvum感染和清除过程中,宿主Th17细胞亚群分化相关细胞因子都出现了不同程度的上调表达。3.应用实时定量PCR方法测定感染后不同时间脾脏和肠相关淋巴组织中Th17细胞分化维持细胞因子(IL-23)、效应细胞因子(IL-17、IL-22、TNF-α)等的表达和变化;并采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测感染后小鼠组织IL-17的蛋白水平变化情况,分析Th17细胞亚群在C.parvum感染和清除过程中的效应情况。主效应因子IL-17在感染早期、中期都有较高水平的表达;其他效应因子几乎在整个感染过程中都有较高水平的表达。
[Abstract]:Cryptosporidium parvum (Cryptosporidium parvum) is a globally distributed zoonotic parasite parasitic on the epithelial cells of the host digestive tract, which is a serious threat to the health of human and domestic animals. Since Tyzzer first found Cryptosporidium muris in mouse gastric digestive gland epithelium in 1907, 27 effective species of Cryptosporidium have been found in 5 kinds of vertebrates including human. Cryptosporidiosis caused by C. parvum mainly harms people and important economic animals such as cattle, goats and sheep, especially calves play a major role in the transmission of Cryptosporidiosis between animals and humans. Due to the lack of effective drugs and vaccines in the prevention and treatment of Cryptosporidiosis, the mechanism of host immune defense against Cryptosporidium is discussed, especially the key cell subsets of host against Cryptosporidium infection and its mechanism of action. It will provide ideas for finding key targets, developing prophylactic vaccines and specific drugs and effectively preventing and controlling Cryptosporidiosis. In this study, two strains of C.parvum with subtype 鈪,
