氨基酸l-精氨酸在调节免疫反应中起着至关重要的作用。我们最近表明,在未愈合的利什曼病中,病理部位不受控制的利什曼原虫复制与高水平的精氨酸酶活性相关,而精氨酸酶活性的升高导致局部l-精氨酸的消耗。为了进一步了解l-精氨酸剥夺对实验性利什曼病的影响,我们详细描述了l-精氨酸剥夺对抗原特异性T细胞和MΦ的影响。我们的研究结果表明,细胞外环境中l-精氨酸水平的降低会影响利什曼原虫特异性T细胞的生物活性,无论是在反应的幅度还是反应的质量上。L. major特异性CD4+ T细胞因l-精氨酸剥夺而反应低下,可以通过添加外源性l-精氨酸来产生IL-4和IL-10,但不能产生IFN-γ来部分恢复。此外,我们的研究结果表明,l-精氨酸剥夺也极大地影响了激活巨噬细胞中的寄生虫生长。总之,我们的研究结果表明,l-精氨酸水平影响Th细胞反应和寄生虫复制。
The amino acid l-arginine plays a crucial role in the regulation of immune responses. We have recently shown that uncontrolled replication of Leishmania parasites at the site of pathology correlates with high levels of arginase activity in nonhealing leishmaniasis and that this elevated arginase activity causes local depletion of l-arginine. To further our understanding of the impact of l-arginine deprivation in experimental leishmaniasis, here we characterize in detail the effects of l-arginine deprivation on antigen-specific T cells and MΦ. The results of our study show that decrease of l-arginine levels in the extracellular milieu affects the biological activities of Leishmania major-specific T cells, both at the level of the magnitude and the quality of their responses. L. major-specific CD4+ T cells rendered hyporesponsive by l-arginine deprivation can be partially rescued by addition of exogenous l-arginine to produce IL-4 and IL-10, but not to produce IFN-γ. Furthermore, our results show that l-arginine deprivation also greatly impacts parasite growth in activated macrophages. In summary, our results suggest that l-arginine levels affect both Th cell responses and parasite replication.
