BackgroundLarvae ofEchinococcus granulosus(sensu lato) dwell in host organs for a long time but elicit only a mild inflammatory response, which indicates that the resolution of host inflammation is necessary for parasite survival. The recruitment of alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) has been observed in a variety of helminth infections, and emerging evidence indicates that AAMs are critical for the resolution of inflammation. However, whether AAMs can be induced byE. granulosus(s.l.) infection or thioredoxin peroxidase (TPx), one of the important molecules secreted by the parasite, remains unclear.MethodsThe activation status of peritoneal macrophages (PMs) derived from mice infected withE. granulosus(sensu stricto) was analyzed by evaluating the expression of phenotypic markers. PMs were then treatedin vivoandin vitrowith recombinant EgTPx (rEgTPx) and its variant (rvEgTPx) in combination with parasite excretory-secretory (ES) products, and the resulting activation of the PMs was evaluated by flow cytometry and real-time PCR. The phosphorylation levels of various molecules in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway after parasite infection and antigen stimulation were also detected.ResultsThe expression of AAM-related genes in PMs was preferentially induced afterE. granulosus(s.s.) infection, and phenotypic differences in cell morphology were detected between PMs isolated fromE. granulosus(s.s.)-infected mice and control mice. The administration of parasite ES products or rEgTPx induced the recruitment of AAMs to the peritoneum and a notable skewing of the ratio of PM subsets, and these effects are consistent with those obtained afterE. granulosus(s.s.) infection. ES products or rEgTPx also induced PMs toward an AAM phenotypein vitro. Interestingly, this immunomodulatory property of rEgTPx was dependent on its antioxidant activity. In addition, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was activated after parasite infection and antigen stimulation, and the activation of this pathway was suppressed by pre-treatment with an AKT/mTOR inhibitor.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates thatE. granulosus(s.s.) infection and ES products, including EgTPx, can induce PM recruitment and alternative activation, at least in part,viathe PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. These results suggest that EgTPx-induced AAMs might play a key role in the resolution of inflammation and thereby favour the establishment of hydatid cysts in the host.
