目标 研究肌醇磷酸神经酰胺(IPC)合成酶抑制剂金梗霉素A对利什曼原虫生长和感染性的影响。 方法 测定了金芽孢杆菌素A对以下方面的影响:(i)无菌培养物中的前鞭毛体生长;(ii)巨噬细胞单层中的前鞭毛体感染性;(iii)BALB/c小鼠足垫病变的发展;(iv)无鞭毛体向前鞭毛体的分化。 结果 Aureobasidin A(20 μ M)在无菌培养物中抑制90%的利什曼原虫(利什曼原虫)亚马逊前鞭毛体生长,但寄生虫保持活力,即从培养基中除去Aureobasidin A后生长曲线恢复正常。用MTT法测得金霉素A对L.(L.)亚马逊利什曼原虫(Leishmaniasmajor)为12.6 μ M,巴西利什曼原虫(Leishmaniasbraziliensis)为13.7 μ M。当L.(L.)将用金杆菌素A预处理的亚马逊前鞭毛体接种到BALB/c小鼠足垫中。当将金芽孢杆菌素A添加到感染无鞭毛体的培养的巨噬细胞中时,感染的巨噬细胞的数量减少> 90%。 结论 Aureobasidin A是研究利什曼原虫属中脂质代谢抑制作用的有趣药理学工具。
OBJECTIVES To study the effect of aureobasidin A, an inhibitor of inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC) synthase, on Leishmania growth and infectivity. METHODS Effects of aureobasidin A were determined for: (i) promastigote growth in axenic culture; (ii) promastigote infectivity in macrophage monolayers; (iii) development of footpad lesions in BALB/c mice; (iv) differentiation of amastigotes into promastigotes. RESULTS Aureobasidin A (20 microM) inhibited 90% of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigote growth in axenic culture, but the parasites remained viable, i.e. growth curves returned to normal after aureobasidin A was removed from culture medium. The aureobasidin A IC50 was determined by MTT assay as 4.1 microM for L. (L.) amazonensis promastigotes, 12.6 microM for Leishmania (Leishmania) major and 13.7 microM for Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis. There was a significant delay in infection when L. (L.) amazonensis promastigotes pre-treated with aureobasidin A were inoculated into BALB/c mouse footpads. When aureobasidin A was added to cultured macrophages infected with amastigotes, the number of infected macrophages was reduced by >90%. CONCLUSIONS Aureobasidin A is an interesting pharmacological tool to investigate the effect of lipid metabolism inhibition in Leishmania spp.
