Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval stage of Taenia solium. The infection begins with the ingestion of parasite eggs that release an oncosphere in the intestine; The oncosphere reaches the central nervous system where it settles and develops to the larval form (cysticercus), responsible for the symptoms according to its location, number and immune response of the host. During the transition from oncosphere to cysticercus in the host brain, intermediate forms called post-oncospheres have been reported. At this stage the parasite survives by a mechanism that is not yet fully understood and that could be related to a change in the expression of its proteins. Helminths modulate the host's immune response by releasing excretion-secretion products. One of the proteins identified in the excretion-secretion proteome of the T. solium cysticercus is elongation factor-1α, also present in post-oncosphere forms. In other parasites it has been shown that this protein modulates the host's immune system by inhibiting the gamma interferon signaling pathway. On the contrary, it has been observed that activation of this pathway in microglia suppresses growth in parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii. As microglia shape the initial innate immune response in the central nervous system, we propose that T. solium post-oncosphere elongation factor-1α regulates interferon-gamma signaling in microglia and inhibits nitric oxide production. and tumor necrosis factor alpha to allow the formation of the cysticercus.
