Description
Summary:induced alternative activated macrophages (M2), leading to protect against Crohn's disease, known as Th1 -related inflammation, which enhances oxidative stress in the host. However, the relationship of oxidative stress and -mediated immune response is still unknown. In our study, we showed that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), a key transcription factor in antioxidant, participated in M2 polarization induced by muscle larval excretory/secretory (ES) products . ES -treated M2 were injected intravenously after TNBS challenge and we demonstrated that ES-M could alleviate the severity of the colitis in mice. Adoptive transfer of ES -treated M2 decreased the level of IFN-γ and increased the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 . However, the capacity of ES -treated Nrf2 KO macrophages to treat colitis was dramatically impaired. ES -treated Nrf2 KO macrophages was insufficient to result in the elevated levels of IL-4 and IL-10. These findings indicate that Nrf2 was required for M2 polarization induced by ES to alleviate colitis in mice.
