Prosopis strombulifera aqueous extract (PsAE) have reported cytotoxic, antitumoral, antiatherogenic and antileishmanial activities, containing phytochemicals with immune-related activities. Despite these, there are no previous studies with respect to PsAE suppressive properties over T cell proliferation and their function. Goal: Because of previous antecedents, this study aims to evaluate the effect of PsAE on T cell activation, proliferation, cytokine production, and to investigate its effect over an in vivo model of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Experimental procedure: Splenocytes and sorted CD4\u00fe\/CD8\u00fe from wild type C57BL\/6 mice were cultured to determine activation, IFN-g release and T-cell proliferation after polyclonal stimulation. NOD (nonobese diabetic) mice were used to study the effects of orally administered extract on glycemia, insulitis stages and perforin-1 (PRF-1)\/granzyme-B (GRZ-B) expression. Results: In primary cultures, the plant extract impairs T cell activation, decreases IFN-g release, and reduces proliferation after different polyclonal stimuli. In vivo, PsAE improves NOD mice glycemic levels and T1D progression by diminution of pancreas insulitis and reduction of PRF-1 and GRZ-B mRNA expression. To our knowledge, this is the first report characterizing the therapeutic properties of PsAE on T cell activation. Conclusion: The current work provides evidence about in vitro and in vivo immunosuppressive effects of PsAE and promotes this plant extract as a complementary and alternative treatment in autoimmune Tcell mediated diseases as T1D."],"dc:format":["image\/jpeg","application\/octet-stream"],"dc:language":["eng"],"dc:type":"dataset","dc:rights":["info:eu-repo\/semantics\/openAccess","https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.5\/ar\/"],"dc:relation":["info:eu-repo\/grantAgreement\/Ministerio de Ciencia.
