چکیده انگلیسی
DUSP4, an inducible protein has a substrate specificity toward ERK1/2, a component of MAP kinase which is enhanced during Leishmania infection. The DUSP4â/â mice show increased susceptibility towards the infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii and Leishmania mexicana. These observations emphatically established the fact that unlike DUSP1, DUSP4 has host protective role. In our study, it has been Leishmania donovani, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) significantly reduced the expression of DUSP4 during infection. In order to find out the host protective role of DUSP4 in macrophages during VL, we silenced DUSP4 prior to infection and the parasite number within macrophage was counted. Under DUSP4 knock-down condition, phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and generation of pro-inflammatory response like IL-12, TNF-α, and iNOS was decreased significantly. Silencing DUSP4 promoted the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and the generation of anti-inflammatory response like- IL-10, TGF-β with increased Arginase-1 and Cox-2 activity. Glycyrrhizic Acid (GA), an immunomodulator, already known to suppress L. donovani infection, found to up-regulate DUSP4 expression during L. donovani infection. On the other hand, GA failed to increase Th1 cytokine production and decrease Th2 response during DUSP4 knock-down condition suggesting the key role of DUSP4 while providing protection during L. donovani infection.
