Project description:Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites is responsible for the illness of millions of individuals each year. Plasmodium sporozoites inoculated by mosquitoes migrate to the liver and infect hepatocytes prior to release of merozoites that initiate symptomatic blood-stage malaria. Parasites are thought to be restricted to hepatocytes throughout this obligate liver-stage of replication and differentiation. In contrast to this notion, we found that a subset of hepatic dendritic CD11c+ cells co-expressing F4/80, CD103, CD207 and CSF1R, acquired a substantial parasite burden during the liver-stage of malaria, but only after initial hepatocyte infection. These CD11c+ cells found in the infected liver and liver-draining lymph nodes exhibited transcriptionally and phenotypically enhanced antigen-presentation functions; and primed protective CD8 T cell responses against Plasmodium liver-stage restricted antigens. Our findings uncover a novel aspect of Plasmodium biology as well as the fundamental mechanism by which CD8 T cell responses are primed against liver-stage malaria.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests the liver as to be an effector against blood-stage malaria. Vaccination induces changes in the liver and survival of otherwise lethal blood-stage malaria of Plasmodium chabaudi which is associated with changes in the liver. Here, the time-course of expression of erythroid genes is investigated during infections with P. chabaudi in the liver of vaccination-protected and unprotected non-vaccinated mice.

Project description:Hypoglycemia is a clinical hallmark of severe malaria, the often-lethal outcome of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Yet, the underlying mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of malaria-associated hypoglycemia remain poorly understood. Here we report that labile heme, an alarmin generated as a byproduct of hemolysis during the blood stage of Plasmodium spp. infection, plays a central role in the development of malaria-associated hypoglycemia. Labile heme recapitulated the hypometabolic response to Plasmodium (chabaudi chabaudi; Pcc) infection in mice, including the development of anorexia, transcriptional repression of hepatic glucose production (HGP) and reduction of glycemia, energy expenditure (EE) as well as core body temperature. While this hypometabolic response is protective against immune-mediated liver damage and anemia, when sustained over time it can lead to hypoglycemia and compromise EE as well as thermoregulation. I response, asexual stages of Plasmodium spp. activate a transcriptional program that reduces virulence in favor of sexual commitment and presumably malaria transmission. In conclusion, malaria-associated hypoglycemia represents a trade-off of a hypometabolic defense strategy against Plasmodium infection.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of protective vaccination on the transcriptome of the liver towards the end of the crisis phase in vaccination-induced self-healing infections of Plasmodium chabaudi in comparison to lethal infections in non-protected Balb/c mice using Agilentâs gene expression microarrays.

Project description:Analysis of the effect of malaria infection on whole blood gene expression and uncovering regulatory effects using eQTL analysis. Testing for relashionships between genotype, expression and malaria phenotypes. We generated whole blood gene expression profiles and genotypes from 155 West-African children including 94 cases undergoing the symptomatic phase of blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum infection and 61 age-matched controls. PCA, analysis of covariance and eQTL analysis were performed on the data.

Project description:Malaria is by far the world’s most significant tropical infectious disease and over the last a few decades large-scale malaria epidemics have happened in almost all continents. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax account for over 90% of the total malaria cases worldwide. The estimated number of annual clinical cases of vivax malaria is even higher than that of falciparum malaria, but yet the morbidity associated with this infection and its spectrum of disease is largely neglected. Identification of serum/plasma proteins, which exhibit altered abundance at the onset and during the acute phase of any infection, could be informative to understand the pathobiology of different infectious diseases and host responses against the invading pathogens. To this end, in recent years, quite a few research groups including us have investigated alterations in serum/plasma proteome in severe and non-severe falciparum malaria (and also vivax malaria) to study malaria pathogenesis. In all these studies, serum/plasma proteome of the malaria patients have been analyzed during the febrile stages of the infection, either at the onset of the disease or at the fastigium stage. However, temporal profiling of serum/plasma proteome during acute and remission stages in malaria, which can provide snapshots of the transient and enduring alterations in serum proteome during the febrile, defervescence and convalescent stages has not been reported hitherto. Here, we report, for the first time, serum proteomic alterations in a longitudinal cohort of P. vivax infected patients to elucidate host responses when fever is established (temperature of the body reaches above higher normal level), during the stage when the temperature comes down to normal, and also during the gradual recovery of health after the illness. The three stages discussed in our study have been categorically chosen depending upon the clinical course of uncomplicated vivax malaria. Analysis of the early febrile stage represents host proteome profile immediately after onset of the infection, without any effect of anti-malarial drugs. The second, defervescence stage, reflects any immediate change in blood proteome at early recovery phase, while the convalescent stage indicates a phase after administration of 14 days radical cure treatment with primaquine and a complete recovery, when none of the patients displayed any apparent symptoms of malaria. We have also performed an extensive quantitative proteomics analysis to compare the serum proteome profiles of vivax malaria patients with low and moderately-high parasitemia with healthy community controls. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) and 2-D fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE)-based quantitative proteomics approaches were used in the discovery-phase of the study, and some selected differentially abundant serum proteins were validated further by using ELISA. Interestingly, some of the serum proteins like Serum amyloid A, Apolipoprotein A1, C-reactive protein, Titin and Haptoglobin, were found to be sequentially altered with respect to increased parasite counts, while many of the quantified candidates such as Hemopexin, Vitronectin, Clusterin and Apolipoprotein E exhibited nearly equal levels of differential serum abundance in different parasitemic malaria patients. Analysis of a longitudinal cohort of malaria patients indicated reversible alterations in serum levels of some proteins such as Haptoglobin, Apolipoprotein E, Apolipoprotein A1, Carbonic anhydrase 1, and Hemoglobin subunit alpha upon treatment; however, the levels of a few other proteins did not return to the baseline even during the convalescent phase of the infection. Identification of the differentially abundant serum proteins and associated physiological pathways in vivax malaria along with phase-specific protein profiles during the acute and convalescent phases of the infection can effectively enhance our understanding of P. vivax disease biology and host immune responses.

Project description:Most malaria drug development focuses on parasite stages detected in red-blood cells even though to achieve eradication next-generation drugs active against both erythrocytic and exo-erythrocytic forms would be preferable. We applied a multifactorial approach to a set of >4,000 commercially available compounds with previously demonstrated blood stage activity (IC50 < 1 µM), and identified chemical scaffolds with potent activity against both forms. From this screen, we identified an imidazolopiperazine scaffold series that was highly enriched among compounds active against Plasmodium liver stages. Our orally bioavailable lead imidazolopiperazine confers complete causal prophylactic protection (15 mg/kg) in rodent models of malaria and shows potent in vivo blood-stage therapeutic activity. The open source chemical tools resulting from our effort provide starting points for future drug discovery programs, as well as opportunities for researchers to investigate the biology of exo-erythrocytic forms.
