Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase prevents elicitation of Th1 cell response via interleukin 10 and downregulates Th1 effector cells

Abstract

The trans-sialidases (TSs) from Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, are virulence factors shed to the bloodstream that induce strong alterations in the immune system. Here, we report that both enzymatically active TS (aTS) and its lectinlike isoform (iTS) disturb CD4 T cell physiology, inducing downregulation of Th1 cell functionality and in vivo cell expansion. By using ovalbumin-specific DO11.10 cells as tracers of clones developing the Th1 phenotype, we found that the infection induced significant amounts of gamma interferon (IFN-γ) but low levels of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and increased IL-4 production in vivo, in agreement with a mixed T helper response. The production of cytokines associated with the Th2 phenotype was prevented by passive transfer of anti-TS neutralizing antibodies. TSs also reduced the T cell receptor signaling as assayed by Zap-70 phosphorylation. TSs also reduced IL-2 and IFN-γ secretion, with a concomitant increase in IL-4 production and then an unbalancing of the CD4 T cell response toward the Th2 phenotype. This effect was prevented by using anti-IL-10 neutralizing antibodies or IL-10(-/-) antigen-presenting cells, supporting the subversion of this regulatory pathway. In support, TSs stimul...Continue Reading
