PD-1 regulates leishmanicidal activity and IL-17 in dogs with leishmaniasis.
Leishmaniasis is an immunosuppressive disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, for which dogs are the domestic reservoir. The programmed cell death-1 molecule (PD-1) is highly expressed in leukocyte cells of dogs with leishmaniasis, and it promotes T lymphocyte exhaustion and suppression of cytokine secretion. Because PD-1 has a suppressive function regarding cell immunity, we evaluated the effect of PD-1 blocking antibodies on NO, ROS and interleukin 17 (IL-17) production and on parasite load in spleen leukocyte cultures from dogs with leishmaniasis. In vitro, PD-1 blocking promoted increased levels of intracellular NO and NO Topics: Animals; Antibodies, Monoclonal; Cell Culture Techniques; Culture Media; Dog Diseases; Dogs; Female; Gene Expression Regulation; Interleukin-17; Leishmania infantum; Leishmaniasis, Visceral; Leukocytes; Male; Nitric Oxide; Nitrogen Dioxide; Parasite Load; Programmed Cell Death 1 Receptor; Reactive Oxygen Species; Spleen | 2020 |
rIL-2-stimulated splenocytes reactivate the NO2-producing ability of macrophages infected by Leishmania donovani.
Infection with L. donovani down-regulates immunity and parasite clearance by macrophages. Treatment with IL-2-stimulated-splenocytes activate parasiticidal action in vitro in peritoneal macrophages of C57BL/6 (Lsh(s)) mice and also was effective in stimulating infected macrophages to produce NO2-.
