N2 - Carp subjected to daily handling stress were much more susceptible to Trypanoplasma borreli infection than control fish. In a search for the cellular mechanisms involved, it was observed that cortisol suppressed T. borreli-induced expression of interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, serum amyloid A and inducible nitric oxide synthase. An NF-κB-inhibitor could replicate cortisol-induced apoptosis of activated peripheral blood leukocytes. In contrast, although this NF-κB-inhibitor induced apoptosis of neutrophilic granulocytes, cortisol prevented apoptosis of these cells, suggesting the latter process to be NF-κB-independent. Carp leukocytes, upon induction of apoptosis, exhibit a number of sequential metabolic alterations. First, the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) is disrupted and glutathione levels are depleted, followed by exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outer cell membrane. In vitro, cortisol could inhibit NO production induced by low concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but remarkably, enhanced NO production induced by high concentrations of LPS. However, no differences in NO production were observed in stressed versus non-stressed infected carp.
