19410625 Tao FF, Yang YF, Wang H, Sun XJ, Luo J, Zhu X, Liu F, Wang Y, Su C, Wu HW, Zhang ZS: Th1-type epitopes-based cocktail PDDV attenuates hepatic fibrosis in C57BL/6 mice with chronic Schistosoma japonicum infection. Vaccine. 2009 Jun 24;27(31):4110-7. Epub 2009 May 15.


The histopathological staging and collagen assessment for fibrosis showed that the cocktail PDDV presented an obvious down-regulation effect on hepatic fibrosis caused by chronic S. japonicum infection (P <0.05), and IFN-gamma, IL-4 and IL-13 mRNAs in liver detected by RT-PCR also showed that the cocktail PDDV represented the ability to up-regulate Th1-type responses, which paralleled with a decrease expression of alpha-SMA (P <0.05) and the up-regulated MMP9/TIMP1 balance (P <0.05) when compared to the control groups.

Increased matrix metalloproteinase-9 gelatinase activity correlated with the downregulation of transforming growth factor-beta1 by bFGF, suggesting that inhibited extracellular matrix deposition is associated with a decreased number of myofibroblasts induced by bFGF.
