Efecto de la ciclosporina A en ratones C57BL/6 infectados con Encephalitozoon intestinalis.

Abstract: Introducción. Encephalitozoon intestinalis es un microsporidio parásito del intestino, que puede diseminarse en pacientes inmunocomprometidos. Existen referencias de modelos animales inmunosuprimidos para el estudio de la microsporidiosis utilizando fármacos que producen supresión total de la respuesta inmune; sin embargo, no se han estudiado los efectos de inmunosupresores con acción selectiva sobre los componentes de esta respuesta. Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de la inmunosupresión con ciclosporina A (CsA) e… Show more

“…Accordingly, the inhibition of TNF-alpha, a cytokine well known to be related to the Th1 response,30 could possibly facilitate the microsporidia infestation observed in the present study. Moreover, experimental studies have reported a decrease in the specific protective IgG against microsporidia in animals treated with immunosuppressive drugs 31. We have confirmed that microsporidia infestation is more prevalent in immunosuppressed patients1-4 and have now extended this observation to rheumatic disease patients undergoing anti-TNF/DMARD treatment.…”

“…murine models (Hussain et al, 2005). This was also reported in mice infected with the microsporidium Encephalitozoon intestinalis and treated with 50 mg/kg of CsA, although no increase or dissemination of the parasite was observed (Galván et al 2006), unlike what was observed in this study when the same concentration of CsA was administered.…”
