Predominant role of interferon-γ in the host protective effect of CD8+ T cells against Neospora caninum infection

Abstract: It is well established that CD8+ T cells play an important role in protective immunity against protozoan infections. However, their role in the course of Neospora caninum infection has not been fully elucidated. Here we report that CD8-deficient mice infected with N. caninum presented higher parasitic loads in the brain and lungs and lower spleen and brain immunity-related GTPases than their wild-type counterparts. Moreover, adoptive transfer of splenic CD8+ T cells sorted from N. caninum-primed immunosufficie… Show more

“…These proteins are important for destruction of the parasitophorous vacuole in cells infected by the N. caninum related protozoan T. gondii 28 . Increased expression levels of interferon-inducible GTPases mRNA were previously detected in the brain 39 40 and spleen 40 of N. caninum infected mice. In accordance, we observed here an up-regulated expression of Irgm1 , Igtp and Gbp2 in the adipose tissue early upon infection.…”

“…As citocinas IFN-γ e IL-12 desempenham função primordial no mecanismo protetor à infecção (INNES et al, 2005;DONAHOE et al, 2015). Em modelos murinos, a resistência do hospedeiro à neosporose está diretamente relacionada à produção de IFN-γ e IL-12 ( KHAN et al, 1997;BASZLER et al, 1999;TANAKA et al, 2000a;CORREIA et al, 2015). A depleção de uma ou outra citocina em modelos nocaute ou no tratamento com anticorpos monoclonais levam o hospedeiro resistente a se tornar suscetível à infecção por neosporose BASZLER, 2000;NISHIKAWA et al, 2001a;TANAKA et al, 2000b).…”

“…Estudos in vivo demonstraram que células T desempenham o papel principal na resposta imunológica de hospedeiros murinos (CORREIA et al, 2013), sendo que os linfócitos T CD4+ citotóxicos estão envolvidos no killing de N. caninum através de uma -Introduçãovia dependente de granzimas (STASKA et al, 2003). Além disso, as células T CD8 + são fundamentais na produção de IFN-γ, um mecanismo protetor importante em modelo murino infectado por N. caninum, o que também foi observado experimentalmente em bovinos (CORREIA et al, 2013(CORREIA et al, , 2015.…”
