摘要：

Toll-like receptor (TLR) family is crucial for microbial elimination and homeostasis, and has an important immunoregulatory role. In this study, we comparatively analyze innate immune response and tissular injury elicited in BALB/c and C57BL/6 (B6) mice during acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection. The liver was the most affected tissue with numerous cellular infiltrates, apoptotic cells and necroticareas. The apoptotic rate, evaluated by Hoescht stain, was highest in liver of B6. Infection increased transaminase activities in both mouse strains, although they were highest in B6. BALB/c showed sixfold higher parasitemias than B6 but the latter presented higher mortality (80%) than BALB/c (40%). To gain insight into the molecular basis, we investigated the TLRs commitment in liver. We found that, TLR2 and TLR4 were up-regulated in BALB/c while they were down-regulated in B6. However, TLR9 showed a diminution in BALB/c and an increase in B6 at the end of infection. Moreover, an intensified pro-inflammatory cytokine profile was observed in B6 and F4/80+ and Gr1+ leukocytes were the predominant cells in liver from both mouse strains. Thus, altered TLR2, TLR4 and TLR9 signalling and exacerbate inflammatory cytokine profile could be responsible of the fatal hepatic damage observed in infected B6. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
