弓形虫感染猫的炎症反应研究

Study on inflammatory response in cats caused by Toxoplasma gondii infection

  • 摘要: 为了探究弓形虫感染猫的炎症反应,试验选取年龄为0.5~2岁、未感染和感染弓形虫的家猫(未感染组和感染组)各25只,静脉采血后,测定两组的血液白细胞指标(白细胞总数、嗜酸性粒细胞百分比、中间细胞群百分比、嗜酸性粒细胞绝对值、中间细胞群绝对值、淋巴细胞百分比、淋巴细胞绝对值)、肝肾功能血清天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)和丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)活性及肌酐(CRE)和尿素(UA)含量、血清细胞因子水平肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素2(IL-2)、白细胞介素4(IL-4)及白细胞介素10(IL-10)含量、血清抗氧化水平超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量及血清淀粉样蛋白A(SAA)含量。结果表明:与未感染组比较,感染组的血液白细胞总数、嗜酸性粒细胞百分比、嗜酸性粒细胞绝对值、中间细胞群绝对值和淋巴细胞绝对值显著升高(P<0.05),中间细胞群百分比和淋巴细胞百分比差异不显著(P>0.05);血清AST、ALT活性及CRE、UA含量显著升高(P<0.05);血清TNF-α和IL-6含量显著升高(P<0.05),IL-2和IL-10含量显著降低(P<0.05);血清SOD活性显著降低(P<0.05),MDA含量显著升高(P<0.05);SAA含量显著升高(P<0.05)。说明弓形虫感染可引起猫发生炎症反应、肝肾功能损伤及氧化损伤。

     

    Abstract: In order to explore the inflammatory response in cats caused by Toxoplasma gondii infection, twenty-five domestic cats aged 0.5 to 2, uninfected(uninfected group) and infected(infected group) with Toxoplasma gondii were selected. After taking blood from the vein, two groups of white blood cell indexes(total number of white blood cell, percentage of eosinophils, absolute value of eosinophils, percentage of intermediate cell group, absolute value of intermediate cell group, percentage of lymphocyte, absolute value of lymphocyte, liver and kidney function(serum aspartate aminotransferase AST and alanine aminotransferase ALT activity and creatinine CRE and urea UA content), serum cytokine levels(TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-10 content), serum antioxidant level(SOD activity and MDA content) and serum amyloid A content were determined. The results showed that compared with the uninfected group, the total number of white blood cells, percentage of eosinophils, absolute value of eosinophils, absolute value of intermediate cell group and absolute value of lymphocytes in the infected group were significantly increased(P<0.05). The percentage of intermediate cell group and percentage of lymphocyte were not significantly different(P>0.05). The activities of AST and ALT and the contents of CRE and UA in serum were significantly increased(P<0.05). The contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum were significantly increased(P<0.05), while the contents of IL-2 and IL-10 were significantly decreased(P<0.05). The activity of SOD in serum was significantly decreased(P<0.05), while the content of MDA was significantly increased(P<0.05). The content of SAA in the infection group was significantly increased(P<0.05). These results indicated that Toxoplasma gondii infection could cause inflammatory response and liver and kidney function damage and oxidative damage in cats.
