However, there are no reports about the role of these molecules during Trypanosoma cruzi infection. We have studied the role of PD-L1 and PD-L2 in T. cruzi infection and their importance in arginase/inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) balance in the immunomodulatory properties of macrophages (Mφ). In this work, we have demonstrated that expression of the PD-1/PD-L pathway is modified during T. cruzi infection on Mφs obtained from peritoneal cavity. The Mφs from T. cruzi-infected mice suppressed T-cell proliferation and this was restored when anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies were added. Nevertheless, anti-PD-L2 antibody treatment did not re-establish T-cell proliferation. PD-L2 blockade on peritoneal cells from infected mice showed an increase in arginase expression and activity and a decrease in iNOS expression and in nitric oxide (NO) production. Additionally, interleukin-10 production increased whereas interferon-γ production was reduced. As a result, this microenvironment enhanced parasite proliferation. In contrast, PD-1 and PD-L1 blockage increased iNOS expression and NO production on peritoneal Mφs from T. cruzi-infected mice. Besides, PD-L2 knockout infected mice showed an increased in parasitaemia as well as in arginase activity, and a reduction in NO production. Taken together, our results demonstrate that PD-L2 is involved in the arginase/iNOS balance during T. cruzi infection having a protective role in the immune response against the parasite."xsd:string |
