Echinococcus granulosus: study of the in vitro complement activation by protoscoleces by measuring the electric potential difference across the tegumental membrane.

Abstract：

:Complement activation by protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus was studied by analyzing the damage to their tegumental membrane produced by incubation in both normal and hydatid human sera. The state of the apical tegumental membrane was evaluated by measuring the electric potential difference with microelectrodes. Protoscoleces incubated in Ringer-Hepes or in heat-decomplemented normal human serum in the presence or absence of specific antibodies did not show significant variations in the electric potential difference throughout the experiment (P > 0.4 in all cases) and their mean values were -46 +/- 3, -43 +/- 4, and -56 +/- 5 mV, respectively. In contrast the potential difference of protoscoleces incubated in 1:2 diluted normal human serum showed a significant variation (P < 0.001), reaching -10 +/- 6 mV after 30 min, and the median depolarization time was estimated to be 21 +/- 3 min. The capacity of normal human serum to depolarize the tegumental membrane of protoscoleces was abolished by treatment at 50 degrees C during 20 min or by 10-fold dilution. In addition, protoscoleces incubated in 1:10 diluted hydatid human serum plus 1:10 diluted normal human serum or Factor B-inactivated normal human serum showed a significantly faster depolarization (0.01 < P < 0.02 and P < 0.001, respectively): the potential difference reached -13 +/- 5 mV after 15 min and the median depolarization times were 9 +/- 5 and 5 +/- 3 min, respectively. Our results suggest that following the time course of the potential difference is a useful tool for studying complement activation in the host-parasite interface and they show that the tegumental membrane of protoscoleces can activate the alternative pathway of human complement.
