Background: New products with tolerogenic properties on T cell response are necessary to improve current efficacy, cost and side effects of immunosuppressants. 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^+/CD8^+ from wild type C57BL/6 mice were cultured to determine activation, IFN-γ release and T-cell proliferation after polyclonal stimulation. NOD (non-obese 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-γ 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 T-cell mediated diseases as T1D.
