AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The effect of the activity of macrophages on the antibody-dependent cytotoxicity against Trichinella spiralis newborn larvae was studied in vitro. Macrophages present in peritoneal exudates from mice genetically selected for high and low antibody production (HL and LL, respectively) showed an inverse cytotoxic effect. Cells from HL mice were ineffective, whereas cells from LL mice had a very high killing capacity. Ultrastructural studies of cells after incubations of up to 36 h supported these observations. Furthermore, peritoneal macrophages from congenitally athymic (nu/nu) mice showed a higher killing potential than cells from thymus-bearing littermates (+/nu) mice. The activity of the latter cells could be increased by in vitro pretreatment of the mice with Calmette-Guérin bacillus, a well-known macrophage stimulating agent. The results indicate that macrophages, although not the only effector cells, may play an important role in the defence against T. spiralis newborn larvae.

Galectin recognizes β-galactosides through its carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). This study aimed to determine the biological features of a novel galectin (galactoside-binding lectin family protein, TsGLFP) and its role in driving macrophage M1 polarization and enhancing ADCC killing of larvae. TsGLFP belongs to the galectin family and has two CRDs.

Background: Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) is a parasitic helminth that causes a globally prevalent neglected zoonotic disease, and worms at different developmental stages (muscle larvae, adult worms, newborn larvae) induce immune attack at different infection sites, causing serious harm to host health. Several innate immune cells release extracellular traps (ETs) to entrap and kill most pathogens that invade the body.

Previous studies have shown that recombinant Trichinella spiralis galectin (rTsgal) is characterized by a carbohydrate recognition domain sequence motif binding to beta-galactoside, and that rTsgal promotes larval invasion of intestinal epithelial cells. Galactomannan is an immunostimulatory polysaccharide composed of a mannan backbone with galactose residues. The aim of this study was to investigate whether galactomannan inhibits larval intrusion of intestinal epithelial cells and enhances antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), killing newborn larvae by polarizing macrophages to the M1 phenotype.
