摘要: 弓形虫是一种呈世界性分布的机会性致病原虫,可引起致命性脑炎。人弓形虫病急性感染往往与弓形虫卵囊污染密切相关。探究弓形虫卵囊感染对宿主的致病机制和防控弓形虫病具有重要意义。因此,本研究利用iTRAQ技术,结合2D-LC-MS/MS分析弓形虫PRU虫株卵囊急、慢性感染小鼠后,其脑组织蛋白质的差异表达情况。结果表明,在急性感染期和慢性感染期小鼠脑组织中分别鉴定到85和51个差异表达的蛋白,而慢性感染期与急性感染期相比有114个蛋白差异表达。对差异表达蛋白进行功能分析发现其主要涉及到免疫、代谢过程等通路。本研究结果为进一步阐明弓形虫卵囊急慢性感染引起宿主脑组织损伤及致病机制提供了重要的数据。

Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic pathogen with a worldwide distribution, which can cause fatal encephalitis. Human acute toxoplasmosis is closely related to the contamination of T. gondii oocysts. To explore the pathogenic mechanism of T. gondii oocyst infection on the host and to prevent and control toxoplasmosis, we used iTRAQ to analyze the differential expression of proteins in mouse brain tissue after acute and chronic infection with T. gondii PRU strain oocysts. Compared with the control group, 85 and 51 differentially expressed proteins were identified in the acute and chronic infection, respectively, while 114 proteins were differentially expressed in the chronic versus acute infection. The functional analysis revealed that these differentially expressed proteins are mainly involved in pathways such as immune and metabolic processes. The results of our study provide important data for elucidating the host brain tissue damage and pathogenic mechanism caused by T. gondii oocysts in the acute and chronic infection.
