This study demonstrates that a combination of Ivermectin and Albendazole can alter calcium homeostasis in bovine filarial parasitosis, inducing ER stress and ultimately leading to apoptosis.
In this ex vivo study, S. cervi parasitoses were treated with Ivermectin (50 mu M), Albendazole (200 mu M) alone and Ivermectin + Albendazole (50 + 200 mu M) at 37 degrees C for 8 h and the motility and viability of the parasitoses were evaluated. Individually both drugs Ivermectin (Iver) and Albendazole (Alb) are reported to affect the function and integrity of ER, however till date, no reports are available on the functional changes in ER due to a combined Iver and Alb treatment of bovine helminth parasitosis. Here, we report the lethal effect of a combination treatment of Iver and Alb against adult bovine filarial parasitosis Setaria cervi. The underlying mechanism of drug action was elucidated by performing a systematic biochemical, molecular and proteomics based study. Altered calcium homeostasis in drug treated parasitoses lead to reduction in levels of total Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) calcium by 50 % and 61 % and elevation by 50 % and 63 % in cytosol in Iver alone and Iver + Alb treated parasitoses respectively. Further, it was found that upregulated expression of ER localized GRP94, galactosyl-transferase and glycosyltransferase activity in addition to reduction in activity of PDI indicated ER stress mechanisms being operative under combined drug treatment. Marked rise of 79 % reactive oxygen species and reduced antioxidant levels induced oxidative stress in drug treated parasitosis. The collective effect of both ER and oxidative stress might have triggered apoptosis, as evidenced by the elevated calpain activity, reduction of 67 % in cytochrome c oxidase and 83 % rise in caspase-3 activity in the Iver + Alb treated parasitoses respectively. The ER proteome analysis by 2D gel electrophoresis revealed 76 spots in the control and 56 spots in the treated proteome. A MALDI-MS/MS analysis of some of the differentially expressed spots of the combination drug treated parasitoses identified glucuronosyltransferase as a major upregulated protein with a fold change of 1.81. Trafficking protein, acyl transferase, MATH involved in protein folding were also found to be downregulated. Thus, this study based on biochemical and proteomic approaches indicates that a combination of anti-filarial drugs Iver and Alb can alter calcium homeostasis in bovine filarial parasitosis leading to induction of ER stress culminating into apoptosis.
