摘要

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the infection of Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) larvae. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) produces inhibitory signals and induces T cell exhaustion, thereby inhibiting the parasiticidal efficacy of the liver immune system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore how T-cell exhaustion contributes to AE and whether blocking CTLA-4 could reverse T cell exhaustion. Here we discovered that the expression of CTLA-4 was increased in the infiltrating margin around the lesion of the liver from AE patients by using western blot and immunohistochemistry assay. Multiple fluorescence immunohistochemistry identified that CTLA-4 and CD4/CD8 molecules were co-localized. For in vitro experiments, it was found that the sustained stimulation of E. multilocularis antigen could induce T cell exhaustion, blocking CTLA-4-reversed T cell exhaustion. For in vivo experiments, the expression of CTLA-4 was increased in the liver of E. multilocularis-infected mice, and the CTLA-4 and CD4/CD8 molecules were co-localized. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that the percentages of both CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells in the liver and peripheral blood were significantly increased and induced T exhaustion. When the mice were treated with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, the number and weight of the lesions decreased significantly. Meanwhile, the flow cytometry results suggested that blocking CTLA-4 could effectively reverse T cell exhaustion and reactivate immune function. Our work reveals that blocking CTLA-4 could effectively reverse the T cell exhaustion caused by E. multilocularis and could be used as a novel target for the treatment of AE.
