Fasciola hepatica is a liver fluke that infects 2.4 million of people and causes great economical loss in animal production. To date a 100% effective vaccine has not been developed and the disease is controlled by drug therapy. Great efforts are put into development of effective vaccine against parasite what is difficult since Fasciola spp. (like other helmints) during evolutionary process has developed sophisticated and efficient methods to evade immune response. During preliminary experiments it is convenient to use cell lines which are relatively cheap and allow for reproducible comparison of results between laboratories. We stimulated BOMA (bovine monocyte/macrophage cell line) and BOMAC (bovine macrophage cell line) with native or recombinant antigens of Fasciola hepatica and assessed IFN-γ, IL-4 and TNF-α level upon stimulation. We observed diminished secretion of proinflammatory TNF-α in LPS activated BOMA cells stimulated with Excretory/Secretory products of adult fluke (Fh-ES). We also observed greater changes in gene expression in LPS activated BOMA cells than in non activated BOMA cells upon stimulation using Fh-ES. The results show possibility of using cell lines for in vitro research of bovine immune response against liver fluke, although this model still requires validation and further characterization.
The increasing number of eosinophils into bronchoaelvolar space is observed during noninfectious inflammatory lung diseases. Eotaxins (eotaxin-1/CCL11, eotaxin-2/CCL24, eotaxin-3/CCL26) are the strongest chemotactic agents for eosinophils. Inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), the enzyme decomposing cAMP, are anti-inflammatory agents which act through cAMP elevation and inhibit numerous steps of allergic inflammation. The effect of PDE4 inhibitors on eotaxin expression is not known in details. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of PDE4 inhibitors: rolipram and RO-20-1724 on expression of eotaxins in bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B. Cells were preincubated with PDE4 inhibitors or dexamethasone for 1 hour and then stimulated with IL-4 or IL-13 alone or in combination with TNF-. After 48 hours eotaxin protein level was measured by ELISA and mRNA level by real time PCR. Results: PDE4 inhibitors decreased CCL11 and CCL26 expression only in cultures co-stimulated with TNF-. In cultures stimulated with IL-4 and TNF- rolipram and RO-20-1724 diminished CCL11 mRNA expression by 34 and 37%, respectively, and CCL26 by 43 and 47%. In cultures stimulated with IL-13 and TNF- rolipram and RO-20-1724 decreased expression of both eotaxins by about 50%. These results were confirmed at the protein level. The effect of PDE4 inhibitors on eotaxin expression in BEAS-2B cells, in our experimental conditions, depends on TNF- contribution.
