To study the immunoregulatory effects of lycorine on mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii(T.gondii),BALB/c mice were treated with 20 mg/kg lycorine solution after peritoneal in-fection with T.gondii RH strain.The serum and spleen of mice were collected at the 1st,3rd,5th and 7th day,respectively,and the spleen index of mice was calculated.The proportion of T lympho-cyte subtypes and NK cells were detected in mice by flow cytometry,and the changes of cytokine levels in mice were measured using ELISA kit,so as to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of lycorine on mice infected with T.gondii.At the same time,the heart,liver,spleen,lungs,and kid-neys of mice were collected at the 7th day,and the pathological changes of the mouse organs were observed through pathological tissue sections,and the amount of the parasite in the liver,lung,kid-ney,and brain of the mice was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The results showed that the survival time of the mice treated with lycorine was significantly extended,and the survival rate reached 80％.The spleen index of mice treated with lycorine was lower than that of the control group.Lycorine up-regulates the ratio of the CD4+T lymphocytes and NK cells in the spleen of mice infected with T.gondii,and helps to improve the ability of mice to resist T.gondii infection.Lycorine can up-regulate the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 and down-regulate the lev-els of pro-inflammatory factors IFN-γ,IL-1β,and IL-9 in serum of mice infected with T.gondii,which is conducive to reducing the damage of inflammatory response and enhancing the ability of anti-T.gondii infection.In addition,lycorine can alleviate the pathological damage of T.gondii to the liver,lungs,spleen,and kidneys of mice,and significantly reduce the amount of the parasite in the lung of mice.The results showed that lycorine could up-regulate the proportion of immune cells CD4+T lymphocytes and NK cells,inhibit the inflammatory response of mice infected with T.gondii,reduce the pathological damage of mice organs,and enhance the ability of mice to resist T.gondii infection,which is expected to become a novel anti-T.gondii drug.
