| 1 | Antihydatic and immunomodulatory effects of Punica granatum peel aqueous extract in a murine model of echinococcosis显示文摘Objective:To investigate the effect of pomegranate peel aqueous extract(PGE) on the development of secondary experimental echinococcosis and on the viability of Echinococcux granulosus protoscoleces,and the immunomodulatory properties of PGE.Methods:Swiss mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with viable protoscoleces.Then,PGE was orally administered daily during cystic echinococcosis development.Cyst development and hepatic damage were macroscopically and histologically analyzed.The production of nitric oxide and TNF-α was assessed in plasma and the hepatic expression of iNOS.TNF-α,NF-κB and CD68 was examined.Moreover,protoscoleces were cultured and treated with different concentrations of PGE.Results:It was observed that in vitro treatment of protoscoleces caused a significant decrease in viability in a PGE-dose-dependent manner.In vivo,after treatment of cystic echinococcosis infected mice with PGE,a significant decrease in nitric oxide levels(P<0.000 1)and TNF-α levels(P<0.001) was observed.This decline was strongly related to the inhibition of cyst development(rate of hydatid cyst growth inhibition=63.08%) and a decrease in CD68 expression in both the pericystic layer of hepatic hydatid cysts and liver tissue(P<0.000 1).A significant diminution of iNOS,TNF-α and NF-κB expression was also observed in liver tissue of treated mice(P<0.000 1).Conclusions:Our results indicate an antihydatic scolicidal effect and immunomodulatory properties of PGE,suggesting its potential therapeutic role against Echinococcuss granulosus infection. | Moussa Labsi Lila Khelifi Dalila Mezioug Imene Soufli Chafia Touil-Boukoffa | 2016 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2016，9，3： | 5 |
| 2 | In vitro anti-hydatic and immunomodulatory effects of ginger and [6]-gingerol显示文摘Objective: To study in vitro anti-hydatic and immunomodulatory effects of ginger and [6]-gingerol as an alternative therapy for Cystic echinococcosis. Methods: Effect of a commonly used herbal product and ginger(Zingiber officinale) towards protoscoleces(PSC) and cyst wall in vitro was studied. The effect of [6]-gingerol, and the pungent constituent of ginger, was also evaluated on PSC culture. Furthermore, the activity of both extracts in association with interferon-gamma(IFN-γ) on PSC co-cultured with mononuclear cells of hydatic patients was evaluated. The nitric oxide(NO) production was measured in each co-culture. Results: Ginger exhibited a concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxic effect against PSC and cyst wall. Interestingly, ginger was more effective than the [6]-gingerol. Moreover, additional parasitic effect between extracts and IFN-γ are also observed in co-cultures. Furthermore, both extracts attenuated the NO production elicited by this infection or by the IFN-γ. Conclusions: Ginger has an important anti-hydatic effect in vitro. This effect is amplified in the presence of IFN-γ. Moreover, this herbal product may protect against host's cell death by reducing the high levels of NO. Ginger may act, at least, through the [6]-gingerol. All our data suggest the promising use of ginger in the treatment of Echinococcus granulosus infection. | Manel Amri Chafia Touil-Boukoffa | 2016 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2016，9，8： | 1 |
