摘要: Monensin (Mon), the first ionophoric antibiotic has widely been used for the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in poultry until recently, however, at present; its efficacy has been compromised with the emergence of many Mon-resistant strains. Knowledge of the mode of the action of anti-parasitic agents is as important as for other antimicrobials, especially for discovery and long term use of the existing drugs. However, little is known about anti-parasitic drug: monensin's, mechanism of action and physiological alteration in Eimeria tenella. In this study, we explored Mon effects on the viability of Mon-Sensitive GZ (MonS-GZ) and Mon-Resistant GZ (MonR-GZ) Eimeria tenella strains using trypan blue staining and investigated Mon-induced autophagy using Western blotting, indirect immunofluorescence assay, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that monensin leads to programmed death of E. tenella parasites by inducing autophagy as a mechanism of anticoccidial action. Mon-induced autophagy was indicated by the decreased sporozoites survival rate, ATG8 over expression and localization, and intracellular vacuolar structures and autophagosomes formation in MonS-GZ strain while in MonR-GZ strains autophagy pathway was not triggered. The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) effectively blocked programmed cell death and saved the MonS-GZ sporozoites. These findings indicated that autophagy serves as a potentially important mechanism of E. tenella cell death in response to Mon and disruption of the autophagy pathway may lead to emergence of drug resistance against this anti-parasitic drug.
