It serves to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from departing the intestinal lumen to invade the host. The excretory secretory (ES) products of Trichinella spiralis are critical for invasion. However, whether ES products of T. spiralis can act on the intestinal barrier is still unknown. In this study, the role of ES products of T. spiralis muscle larvae (Ts-ML-ES) in host invasion was studied by establishing an in vitro cell monolayers model. Barrier integrity analysis by a transmembrane resistance test and a paracellular permeability assay revealed that the Ts-ML-ES was able to destroy barrier function. It occurred via a reduction in the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins, which was induced by serine protease. Furthermore, Western bolt analysis indicated that Ts-ML-ES reduced the expression of TJ proteins via the MAPK signaling pathway. Based on these data, we conclude that serine protease are likely the main factors from Ts-ML-ES that affect host intestinal barrier integrity by reducing the expression of TJs via the P38-MAPK signaling pathway. Serine protease in Ts-ML-ES might be a key invasion factor in T. spiralis.Arsenic mobilization in groundwater systems is driven by a variety of functionally diverse microorganisms and complex interconnections between different physicochemical factors. In order to unravel this great ecosystem complexity, groundwaters with varying background concentrations and speciation of arsenic were considered in the Po Plain (Northern Italy), one of the most populated areas in Europe
