Imidacloprid (IMID), one of environmental persistent neonicotinoid insecticides, has been used a long time ago and categorized from insecticide induced moderate toxicity by World Health Organization (WHO). Marjoram, is one of the most worldwide used herbs in Egypt due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-genotoxic, antimutagenic, anticoagulant, and beneficial effects. This study aimed to evaluate the protective role of marjoram extract on the immunotoxic response and oxidative stress induced by IMID in the immune lymphoid organs (thymus and spleen) of rats. Fifty adult male albino rats were divided randomly into five groups; negative and positive (distilled water) control, marjoram extract (200 mg/kg/day), IMID (22.5 mg/kg/day), marjoram extract + IMID (200 mg/kg +22.5 mg/kg) orally for 8 weeks. Marjoram pretreatment reversed reduced animals body, thymus and spleen weights attributed to IMID. It amended the significantly elevated total leukocytes, neutrophils percentage, increased immunoglobulin G and the significantly reduction of lymphocytes percentage, phagocytic activity, phagocytic index and lysozyme activity induced by IMID. Moreover, marjoram administration significantly reduced thymic and splenic gene expression of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and increased interleukin-10, in addition, it decreased thymic and splenic contents of malondialdehyde and restored the reduced antioxidant enzymes’ activities following IMID exposure. Marjoram ameliorated IMID induced histopathological alterations in thymus and spleen and adjusted IMID immunomodulatory effects by increased the downregulation of CD4 and CD8 immune reactive cell expression. Conclusion, Marjoram has a protective role to reverse IMID immune toxic effects in thymus and spleen tissues of rats by its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory defense mechanisms.
