Abstract :Cystic echinococcosis is formed by the larval forms of Echinococcus granulosus, causes health problems in humans and different species of animals worldwide. There is still limited information about the pathophysiological response to cystic echinococcosis in the liver. Syndecan-1 (Sdc1) is a cell surface proteoglycan of the liver. It has a crucial role in the pathophysiology of various liver diseases. This study aimed to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of Sdc1 in the liver with cystic echinococcosis in sheep. A total number of 51 liver tissue samples with cystic echinococcosis and ten healthy livers were examined. The tissue samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) for histopathological examinations. Sdc1 was determined in the same liver tissues by immunohistochemistry. Infected liver tissues mainly showed severe inflammatory reactions, congestion, diffuse degeneration, and necrosis of hepatocytes around the cysts. The results indicated severe Sdc1-positive staining in hepatocytes around the cysts. Liver tissues of the control group showed relatively mild immunopositive reactions. This study determined that the Sdc1 significantly increased in the sheep livers with cystic echinococcosis infection.
