Cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis are chronic zoonotic infections, transmitted throughout the world. Development of the cestode larval stages in the liver and lungs causes damage to intermediate hosts, including humans. Several pathways leading to the suppression of host immune response and the survival of the cysts in various hosts are known. Immune response modulation and regulated cell death (RCD) play a fundamental role in cyst formation, development and pathogenesis. RCD, referring to apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy, can be triggered either via intrinsic or extrinsic cell stimuli. In this review, we provide a general overview of current knowledge on the process of RCD during echinococcosis. The study of interactions between RCD and Echinococcus spp. metacestodes may provide in-depth understanding of echinococcosis pathogenesis and open new horizons for human intervention and treatment of the disease.
Résumé
L’échinococcose kystique et l’échinococcose alvéolaire sont des infections zoonotiques chroniques, transmises dans le monde entier. Le développement des stades larvaires des cestodes dans le foie et les poumons provoque des lésions chez les hôtes intermédiaires, y compris les humains. Plusieurs voies menant à la suppression de la réponse immunitaire de l’hôte et à la survie des kystes chez divers hôtes sont connues. La modulation de la réponse immunitaire et la mort cellulaire régulée (MCR) jouent un rôle fondamental dans la formation, le développement et la pathogenèse du kyste. La MCR, faisant référence à l’apoptose, à la nécrose et à l’autophagie, peut être déclenchée par des stimuli intrinsèques ou extrinsèques. Dans cette revue, nous fournissons un aperçu général des connaissances actuelles sur le processus de la MCR au cours de l’échinococcose. L’étude des interactions entre les métacestodes d’Echinococcus spp. et la MCR pourrait permettre d’approfondir la compréhension de la pathogénie et d’ouvrir de nouveaux horizons pour l’intervention humaine et le traitement de l’échinococcose.
