The effects of Acanthus ilicifolius chloroform extract on TLR-2 expression of macrophages in oral candidiasis

Abstract: Background: Immunosuppressed conditions due to long-term corticosteroid and tetracycline consumption are susceptible to fungal invasion, especially by Candida albicans (C. albicans), that requires treatment of oral candidiasis. Toll like receptor-2 (TLR-2) plays a role in candida recognition. Nystatin is regularly employed for oral candidiasis, but produces certain side-effects. Chloroform extract of Acanthus ilicifolius (A. ilicifolius) leaves represents both a potent inhibitor of C. albicans growth and an an… Show more

“…18 Previous studies have shown that A. ilicifolius extract has antifungal and antioxidant effects in vitro and antifungal activity in mice suffering from oral candidiasis under immunosuppressed conditions. [12][13][14] Cell death was not significantly different between the nystatin and 20% A. ilicifolius extract treatment groups. This shows that A. ilicifolius therapy has the same efficacy as nystatin.…”

“…20 These secondary metabolites of A. ilicifolius extract contribute to its antifungal property by increasing the expression of Toll-like receptor 2, IL-22, and P38 in immunosuppressed rats with oral candidiasis. 3 13 14 These three markers are known to play a role in the inflammatory mechanism against C. albicans infection.…”
