OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytopathic effects of Tritrichomonas foetus and a purified cysteine protease (ie, CP30) of T foetus on cultured bovine uterine epithelial cells (BUECs) in vitro. SAMPLE POPULATION: 10 reproductive tracts were obtained from late-term bovine fetuses at a commercial abattoir. PROCEDURE: An in vitro culture system of BUECs was developed to study the cytopathic effects of T foetus and purified CP30 of T foetus on host cells. Cytotoxicity of T foetus or CP30 on exposed BUECs was determined. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry analyses were used to detect apoptosis. A fluorometric assay was used to detect BUEC caspase 3 activation. The CP inhibitor E-64 and a caspase inhibitor were used to inhibit apoptosis. RESULTS: Cytopathic effects were observed in BUECs treated with parasites or CP30 and were concentration and time dependent. The BUECs underwent apoptosis in the presence of parasites or CP30. The specific CP inhibitor E-64 abolished the induction of apoptosis in BUECs by CP30. The caspase inhibitor reduced the amount of apoptosis in BUECs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: T foetus and its CP30 induce apoptosis in cultured BUECs in vitro. Induction of apoptosis by CP30 is correlated with protease activity. Endometrial cell death as a result of a T foetus infection is likely to be more important in mediating infertility than a direct effect on the conceptus. Provoking an apoptotic reaction in the host may mitigate an inflammatory reaction or immune response and therefore favor survival of the parasite in a chronic infection. 相似文献

Taenia solium metacestode, a larval pork tapeworm, is a causative agent of neurocysticercosis, one of the most common parasitic diseases in the human central nervous system. In this study, we identified a cDNA encoding for a cathepsin L-like cysteine protease from the T. solium metacestode (TsCL-1) and characterized the biochemical properties of the recombinant enzyme. The cloned cDNA of 1216 bp encoded 339 amino acids with an approximate molecular weight of 37.6 kDa which containing a typical signal peptide sequence (17 amino acids), a pro-domain (106 amino acids), and a mature domain (216 amino acids). Sequence alignments of TsCL-1 showed low sequence similarity of 27.3-44.6 to cathepsin L-like cysteine proteases from other helminth parasites, but the similarity was increased to 35.9-55.0 when compared to mature domains. The bacterially expressed recombinant protein (rTsCL-1) did not show enzyme activity; however, the rTsCL-1 expressed in Pichia pastoris showed typical biochemical characteristics of cysteine proteases. It degraded human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), but not collagen. Western blot analysis of the rTsCL-1 showed antigenicity against the sera from patients with cysticercosis, sparganosis or fascioliasis, but weak or no antigenicity against the sera from patients with paragonimiasis or clonorchiasis. 相似文献

Rabbit cysticercosis, caused by the larval stage of Taenia pisiformis, is a serious parasitic disease of rabbits. It was reported that some cysteine peptidases have potential roles in the pathogenesis of various parasitic infections. To investigate the biochemical characteristics and roles in the pathogenesis/host-invasion of cysteine peptidases, a cDNA sequence encoding for a cathepsin L-like cysteine protease (TpCP) was cloned and identified from the T. pisiformis metacestodes. This sequence was 1220 bp in its length, which included a 1017 bp open reading frame encoding a 339 amino acid peptide. Multiple sequence alignments revealed a 28.9–88.5% similarity with cathepsin L-like cysteine proteases from other helminth parasites and mammals. The recombinant TpCP expressed in Escherichia coli did not show the proteolytic activity by zymography gel assay. However, the TpCP expressed in Pichia pastoris had typical biochemical activities that could hydrolyze rabbit immunoglobulin G, bovine serum albumin and fibronectin. Substrate studies indicated pronounced cleavage of Z-Phe-Arg-AMC. This activity was sensitive to cysteine protease inhibitor E-64 and immunohistochemistry results also indicated that TpCP was distributed as an intense positive reaction in the bladder wall. Our results gave us insights into future studies of TpCP's roles in the infection. 相似文献

The effects of supplementation with cellulase, xylanase, pectinase, hemicellulase, glucanase, phytase and protease of microbial origin on digestibility of crude protein (CP) and dry matter (DM) of soybean meal in vitro were examined in the present study. Changes in viscosity during in vitro digestion were also examined as an index of carbohydrate digestibility. Hemicellulase and all enzyme combinations without protease showed significant improvement of CP digestibility. Cellulase, xylanase, phytase and glucanase tended to improve CP digestibility. Dry matter digestibility was improved significantly by pectinase and all enzyme combinations. Cellulase and phytase tended to improve DM digestibility. Crude protein and DM digestibilities were the highest when all the enzymes except protease were added. Protease, cellulase, pectinase, xylanase, glucanase and hemicellulase significantly reduced viscosity, while phytase had no effect on viscosity. Viscosity was increased unexpectedly when all the enzymes were added. These results strongly suggest that a combination of carbohydrases improves the CP and DM digestibility of soybean meal while protease inhibits the actions of these enzymes. The present study also suggests that viscosity is not always a good index of digestibility. Moreover, excluding the protease from commercial crude enzyme preparations may improve digestibility. 相似文献

To control parasitic disease in cattle, one first has to determine what parasites he or she is trying to control--nuisance and biting flies in a milking parlor or ticks on range cattle? The determination may be based on geographic location, class of cattle, and their management. After determining what is there, then if the numbers are sufficient, justify treatment. Each livestock producer has a different array of parasites with which to deal, and in some circumstances, parasitic disease is below the economic threshold. Others may have occasional clinical disease associated with parasites, but most have situations in which the potential of economic loss is high enough to justify control. 相似文献

大多数体内寄生虫的生存必须依赖糖酵解途径将葡萄糖代谢为乳酸以提供能量。乳酸脱氢酶（lactate dehydrogenase, LDH）是糖酵解途径的末端酶,催化丙酮酸还原为乳酸及乳酸氧化为丙酮酸的可逆反应,与寄生虫生存密切相关。研究表明,各种寄生虫LDH在理化性质和分子结构方面均有独特的特性,是良好的诊断分子和潜在的药物作用靶标。对寄生虫LDH功能的研究,对于促进寄生虫病诊断、疫苗研究以及新抗虫药物的研发具有重要意义。本文对国内外寄生虫LDH的研究现状进行了综述。 相似文献

A 26-28 kDa protease was isolated from Fasciola gigantica adult worms by a two-stage purification process of column chromatography in a Sephacryl S-200 column and affinity chromatography in an L-phenylalanine-agarose column. This protease is a cysteine (thiol) proteinase with an optimum pH of 4.5 and is not inhibited by anti F. gigantica immunoglobulin G. The enzyme was inhibited by protease inhibitors known to inhibit cysteine proteases but not by metallo-, aspartate or serine protease inhibitors. The effect of several protease inhibitors and anti-F, gigantica IgG was also assessed on the total proteolytic activity of F. gigantica. There appears to be a preponderance of cysteine protease activity in F. gigantica and there was a significant inhibition of total proteolytic activity by anti-F. gigantica IgG. 相似文献

Proteases catalyse the cleavage of internal peptide bonds within peptides and proteins. They are classified into four major classes and are involved in a broad range of eukaryotic processes. Proteases have also been found to play a number of critical roles in the virulence of pathogenic agents, particularly of nematode parasites. Parasitic proteases are involved in different aspects of host-parasite interactions. They facilitate the invasion of host tissues and allow nutrition as well as the survival of the parasite in its host. Proteases also participate in the parasite's evasion from the host's immune response. The functional diversity and complexity of these enzymes are described in this review, with a particular focus on the principally identified proteases of four helminths: Schistosoma sp., Fasciola sp., Taenia sp. and Haemonchus sp. Some of these proteases, especially the cysteine proteases secreted by the parasitic trematode Fasciola hepatica, have been successfully tested in experimental immunodiagnosis. Proteases identified in different parasites are currently under study for a use as recombinant vaccines. In this respect, proteases are proposed as major potential targets for immunotherapy and chemotherapy against parasitic diseases. 相似文献
