多房棘球绦虫信号转导体系

The Signaling Systems in Echinococcus multilocularis

信号通路是细胞接收各种刺激信号的途径,从而做出相应反应,如细胞增殖、分化及凋亡等。在多房棘球绦虫(Echinococcus multilocularis)感染宿主后,自身细胞及宿主细胞可分泌多种细胞因子,通过细胞表面的受体,将刺激信号传递到细胞内,引起棘球绦虫或宿主细胞相应变化,使棘球绦虫能够在宿主体内生长繁殖。通过对信号通路的研究,研制阻断信号通路的药物,对控制泡型棘球蚴病具有重要的意义。

Signaling pathway m the way by winch cells receive various snmumuon slgnam, anu protauce a series o, corresponding responses, such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. During infection with Echinococcus multilocularis, both parasite and host cells may secrete many cytokines such as insulin, which make stimulating signals transmitted into the cells through their receptors on the surface of cells. As a result, the parasite can grow and proliferate in the host. Study on related signaling pathways and their blocking drugs will play a crucial role in the control of alveolar echinococcosis caused by the larvae of E. multilocularis.
