【目的】探讨柔嫩艾美耳球虫(Eimeria tenella)入侵细胞与钙信号转导之间的关系,揭示鸡柔嫩艾美耳球虫病的发生机制。[方法]采用体外狗肾细胞(madin-darby canine kidneycell,MOCK细胞)培养技术,检测了细胞外缺钙、Ca2+内流阻断剂(硝苯地平)和钙调蛋白抑制剂(三氟拉嗪)对E.tenella子孢子入侵率的影响,并测定了培养细胞上清液中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和细胞活性。【结果】E.tenella子孢子入侵细胞的抑制率随着细胞外Ca2+浓度的降低而升高。钙离子浓度降低到600umol·L-1时,入侵率(23.33%)均极显著低于对照组(P〈0.01);细胞外无钙时,入侵抑制率高达53.18%;硝苯地平和三氟拉嗪均能极显著抑制子孢子的入侵(P〈0.01),其中10umol·L-1的硝苯地平和50umol·L-1三氟拉嗪分别对子孢子的入侵抑制率达71.41%和97.13%,二者合用入侵抑制率可达98.59%。在E.tenella子孢子入侵细胞的过程中,MDCK细胞的活性均在90%以上,与对照组差异不显著(P〉0.05),接种最tenella子孢子的MOCK细胞培养液中LDH的活性与未接种的活性差异不显著(P〉0.05)。【结论】细胞外钙缺乏、钙通道阻断剂硝苯地平和钙调蛋白抑制剂三氟拉嗪对E.tenella子孢子入侵MOCK细胞均有抑制作用,但子孢子入侵对MDCK细胞的活性无明显影响。
[Objective] The objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between Ca2+ signal transduction and Eimeria tenella sporozoite invasion, and to reveal the mechanism of coccidiosis (E. tenella). [ Method ] An assay system in vitro was used to study the effects of E. tenella sporozoites invasion into MDCK cell by extracellular Ca2+ deficiency or Ca2+ inflow blocker (nifedipine) or calmodulin inhibitor (trifluoperazine). Viability of MDCK cells and lactate dehydrogenase in supernatant liquid was examined. [Result] The inhibition rate of E. tenella sporozoite invasion increased with the decrease of the Ca2+ concentration. At low Ca2+ concentration of 600 umol.L-1, the rate ofE. tenella sporozoite invasion (23.33%) was significantly (P〈 0.01) lower than that of the control group. When extracellular environment was absent of Ca2+ absolutely, the inhibition rate rose to 53.18%. Either nifedipine or trifluoperazine could inhibit the E. tenella sporozoite invasion obviously (P〈0.01), the inhibition rate of 71.41% and 97.13% were achieved by 10 umol·L-1 nifedipine and 50 umol·L-1 trifluoperazine, respectively. The inhibition rate of 98.59% was reached by nifedipine and trifluoperazine together. The viability of MDCK cells with E. tenella sporozoite invasion exceeded 90%, and the data was not remarkably different compared with the control group (P〉0.05). The same is as the viability of lactate dehydrogenase in supernatant liquid. [Conclusion] Extracellular Ca2+ deficiency, calciumion inflow blocker (nifedipine) and calmodulin inhibitor (trifluoperazine) could inhibit the E. tenella sporozoite invasion of MDCK cells. The host cell activity was not affected by E. tenella sporozoite invasion.
