Abstract

ABSTRACT Pigs infected with Ascaris suum or controls were given 100 μg (low-dose) or 1,000 μg (high-dose) all -trans retinoic acid (ATRA)/kg body weight in corn oil or corn oil alone per os on days after inoculation (DAI) −1, +1, and +3 with infective eggs. Treatment with ATRA increased interleukin 4 (IL4) and IL12p70 in plasma of infected pigs at 7 DAI and augmented bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) eosinophilia observed at 7 and 14 DAI. To explore potential molecular mechanisms underlying these observations, a quantitative real-time reverse transcription (RT)-PCR array was used to examine mRNA expression in tissue. Ascaris -infected pigs had increased levels of liver mRNA for T-helper-2 (Th2)-associated cytokines, mast cell markers, and T regulatory (Treg) cells, while infected pigs given ATRA had higher IL4 , IL13 , CCL11 , CCL26 , CCL17 , CCL22 , and TPSB1 expression. Gene expression for Th1-associated markers ( IFNG , IL12B , and TBX21 ), the CXCR3 ligand ( CXCL9 ), IL1B , and the putative Treg marker TNFRSF18 was also increased. Expression of IL4 , IL13 , IL1B , IL6 , CCL11 , and CCL26 was increased in the lungs of infected pigs treated with ATRA. To determine a putative cellular source of eosinophil chemoattractants, alveolar macrophages were treated with IL4 and/or ATRA in vitro. IL4 induced CCL11 , CCL17 , CCL22 , and CCL26 mRNA, and ATRA increased the basal and IL4-stimulated expression of CCL17 and CCL22 . Thus, ATRA augments a diverse Th1-, Th2-, Treg-, and inflammation-associated response in swine infected with A. suum , and the increased BAL eosinophilia may be related to enhanced induction of eosinophil chemokine activity by alveolar macrophages.
