Abstract:
Objective To study the kinetic expression level of chemokines (RANTESF) in the murine infection of vulvovaginal can-didiasis (VVC), and explore the function of chemokines in local immunity of VVC. Method Sixty-three female Kunming mice, at 8 ～ 10 weeks of age, were used in this study. All animals were divided into three groups. The content variation of RANTESF in blood and yaginal fluids and CFU of vaginal fluid in each separate group of mice were detected at days 2, 7, and 14 after infection. The first group was control group. The second group was infected only one time and the third group was infected twice. The results were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 statis-tical software. Results The content variation of RANTESF and CFU in vaginal fluid reached highest at days 7 in both the first and the sec-ond groups, as well as in the blood. There were no notable changes at days 2 and 14. The content variation in vaginal fluid or blood of the second group was higher than that in the first group after infection. Conclusion CMI, as a host defense mechanism, plays an important role in protecting against vulvovaginal candidiasis, especially in secondary infection. Local innate immunity is more important than systemic in-nate immunity for protection against vulvovaginal candidiasis. Cytokine about RANTES can promote innate immunity modulation; especially the local innate immunity modulation can promote the ehemotaxis of RANTES.
