Dataset Summary
TitleMolecular and cellular profile of pathogenesis in the peritoneal compartment during early infection of sheep with Fasciola hepatica
DescriptionThe liver fluke Fasciola hepatica is an economically important pathogen of livestock. Fasciolosis in humans is an important re-emerging zoonosis, with 180 million people at risk. Development of novel control strategies requires an understanding of parasite virulence and tissue invasion, and of how the parasite evades and modulates the immune response during early infection. A combination of immunological and proteomic analyses was employed to investigate the peritoneal fluid of sheep infected with F. hepatica to characterise early tissue invasion and liver pathogenesis. At 18 days post-infection (dpi), histopathology of sheep liver showed white necrotic foci/tracts indicative of F. hepatica migration. Within the peritoneal fluid of infected animals, specific F. hepatica antigen FhCL1 antibodies coincided with an intense innate and adaptive cellular immune response, with increasing numbers of total leukocytes and a marked eosinophilia (49%). Cytokine qPCR analysis revealed IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IL-23 and TGFβ were elevated but not statistically significant at 18 dpi compared to uninfected sheep indicating that whilst the immune response is developing it has not polarised to the Th2 type associated with chronic fasciolosis. Proteomic analysis of the peritoneal fluid identified 178 proteins, with 25 proteins more highly expressed in the infected animals, based on fold changes in protein concentration compared to the uninfected animals. Components of the liver extracellular matrix, including collagen, periostin and the adhesion protein, VCAM-1, exhibited increased expression associated with early fasciolosis, which may be important in signalling host immune responses to tissue damage. In early F. hepatica infection cellular infiltration with marked eosinophilia, adaptive immune responses and products of liver pathology are evident in the peritoneum. Although cytokine responses are developing they are mixed and not yet polarised to a Th2-type. We have characterised biomarkers of parasite-induced liver damage which could be exploited for diagnosis, and vaccine development aimed at reducing/preventing liver pathology.
