Proteomic analysis of mouse liver lesions at all three stages of Echinococcus granulosus infection.

ABSTRACT: Echinococcus granulosus, a zoonotic parasite, can severely damage host health or even lead to host death. In humans, early diagnosis of E. granulosus infection is difficult because the initial stages of the infection tend to be asymptomatic, this delays treatment and worsens prognosis in most patients. Herein, we present a comprehensive, temporal proteomic atlas of the liver at three stages of E. granulosus infection and analyze the changes in the proteome of host focal lesions; this atlas may provide an overview of the effects of E. granulosus in the host, as well as the interactions between them. We identified 3,197 proteins from mice model at 1, 3, and 6 months after E. granulosus infection; of these proteins, 760 were differentially expressed (520 upregulated; 240 downregulated). Moreo
