Tóm tắt

SummaryVarious proteins are expressed during different stages of schistosome development that are essential for cercarial penetration of vertebrate skin and evasion of host immune response. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are important in modulating immune responses towards helminth infections. Schistosoma japonicum protein Sj16 present in the secretions of schistosomula has been shown to have anti‐inflammatory effects; however, it is uncertain whether Sj16 can induce CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells to participate in the regulation of early infection. In this study, we demonstrate a relationship between recombinant Sj16 (rSj16) and the induction of CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. An increase in CD4+CD25+ T cells was observed both in splenic cells from mice injected with rSj16 and the cells pretreated with rSj16, respectively. The induced CD4+CD25+ T cells suppressed CD4+CD25− T‐cell proliferation; furthermore, IFN‐γ and IL‐10 released from rSj16‐stimulated cells contribute to this suppression. Additionally, rSj16‐treated bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDCs) demonstrate an immature phenotype and play a role in the conversion of CD4+CD25− T cells into suppressive CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells. Our study identified a new CD4+CD25+ T‐cell population that induced by rSj16 and suggests that an IFN‐γ‐biased microenvironment during early infection of schistosome may favour the establishment of infection.
