PG - 105882 LID - S1567-5769(19)31310-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.intimp.2019.105882 [doi] AB - Vitamin A (VA) is an anti-inflammatory agent that is important in modulating and balancing the immune system. The present study aimed to investigate the immunoregulatory effects of vitamin A supplement (VAS) in C57BL/6J mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii 17XL (P.y17XL) or Plasmodium berghei ANKA (P.bANKA). Following VA treatment, parasitaemia decreased, but survival rate did not significantly change during P.y17XL infection. However, in P.bANKA infected C57BL/6J mice, VA pretreatment decreased parasitaemia, and a lag in cerebral malaria (CM) was observed during the early stages of infection. Furthermore, VA pretreatment was also demonstrated to upregulate MHCII expression in dendritic cells (DCs), downregulate Th1 and Tregs, and downregulate TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma production. The results of the current study indicated that VAS downregulated the inflammation response in CM, but did not exhibit an immunoregulatory effect against P.y17XL infection. VAS protected the onset of CM by reducing inflammation, and was also correlated with the downregulation of Th1 by modifying the function of DCs and Tregs. However, no significant effect was observed during P.y17XL infection. CI - Copyright (c) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
