A recombinant cystatin from Ascaris lumbricoides attenuates inflammation of DSS‐induced colitis

Abstract

Summary: Helminthiasis may ameliorate inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and asthma. Information about immunomodulators from Ascaris lumbricoides is scarce, but could be important considering the co‐evolutionary relationships between helminths and humans. We evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of a recombinant cystatin from A. lumbricoides on an acute model of dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)‐induced colitis in mice. From an A. lumbricoides cDNA library, we obtained a recombinant cystatin (rA l‐CPI). Protease activity inhibition was demonstrated on cathepsin B and papain. Immunomodulatory effects were evaluated at two intraperitoneal doses (0.5 and 0.25 μg/G) on mice with DSS‐induced colitis. Body weight, colon length, Disease Activity Index (DAI), histological inflammation score, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, gene expression of cytokines and cytokines levels in colon tissue were analysed. Treatment with rA l‐CPI significantly reduced DAI, MPO activity and inflammation score without toxic effects. Also, IL‐10 and TGF‐B gene overexpression was observed in rA l‐CPI‐treated group compared to DSS‐exposed control and healthy mice. Furthermore, a reduction in IL‐6 and TNF‐A expression was found, and this was confirmed by the levels of these cytokines in colonic tissue. In conclusion, rA l‐CPI reduces inflammation in a mouse model of DSS‐induced colitis, probably by increasing the expression of anti‐inflammatory cytokines and reducing pro‐inflammatory ones.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
