Abstract
Entamoeba histolityca produces the monocyte locomotion inhibitory factor (MLIF), a pentapeptide with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. MLIF may regulate trauma-induced inflammation through the effects it exerts directly or indirectly on immune cells, modulating the production and/or expression of the cytokines involved in the inflammatory processes that occur after damage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of MLIF on production of pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines after contusion in the rat tibia. Fifty-four Wistar rats were subjected to controlled contusion with a special guillotine-type device, and 36 rats were injected with MLIF or tenoxicam into the tibia. Eighteen animals received saline; the animals were sacrificed 24 or 48 hours after injection. Cytokine mRNA and protein production were determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunofluorescence, and hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to visualize cellular infiltration in the rats' injured tissue. Expression levels of the cytokines interferon gamma (IFN-γ), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) mRNA were inhibited significantly by MLIF at 24 hour...Continue Reading
