K13 580Y allele not linked to increased P. falciparum recrudescences in artesunate-treated Aotus

ABSTRACT: Concerns about impending failure of artemisinin compounds (ART) have grown with global use of ART-based combination therapy (ACT) against malaria. WHO has defined Plasmodium falciparum resistance to ART as prolonged parasite clearance half-life in vivo (t1/2) plus the presence of certain K13 Kelch-propeller substitutions, e.g. C580Y. Recrudescences and fever clearance times after ART monotherapy, however, have not correlated well with these criteria. We have crossed K13 C580 wild-type and 580Y-mutant parasites for ART studies in Aotus. Artesunate treated C580- but not 580Y-infections recrudesced requiring retreatment, and K13 type had little or no effect on t1/2. These results challenge K13 and t1/2 variations as markers of increased resistance to ART per se and emphasize the need for effective partner drugs in ACTs.

Altered expression of K13 disrupts DNA replication and repair in Plasmodium falciparum

Project description:Background: Plasmodium falciparum has evolved resistance to the artemisinin component of the frontline antimalarial treatment Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy in South East Asia. Millions of lives will be at risk if resistance spreads to Africa. Single non-synonymous mutations in the propeller region of PF3D7_1343700, “K13”are implicated in resistance. In this work, we use transcriptional profiling to characterize a laboratory-generated k13 insertional mutant previously demonstrated to have increased sensitivity to artemisinins to explore the functional role of k13. Results: A set of RNA-seq and microarray experiments confirmed that the expression profile of k13 is specifically altered during the early ring and early trophozoite stages of the mutant intraerythrocytic development cycle. The down-regulation of k13 in this mutant during the early ring stage is associated with a transcriptome shift towards a more trophozoite-like state. To discover the specific downstream effect of k13 dysregulation, we developed a new computational method to search for differential gene expression while accounting for the temporal sequence of transcription. We found that the strongest biological signature of the transcriptome shift is an up-regulation of DNA replication and repair genes during the early ring developmental stage and a down-regulation of DNA replication and repair genes during the early trophozoite stage; by contrast, the expressions of housekeeping genes are unchanged. This effect, due to k13 dysregulation, is antagonistic, such that k13 levels are negatively correlated with DNA replication and repair gene expression. Conclusion: Because a hypothesized mode of action of artemisinins is oxidative stress our results support a role for k13 as a stress response regulator, consistent with the role of its human homolog Keap1, that regulates DNA replication and repair genes in response to oxidative stress.

Transcription profiling of human HUVEC ells ectotopically expressing K13

Project description:Integrated microarray and multiplex cytokine analyses of Kaposi's Sarcoma Asssociated Herpesvirus viral FLICE Inhibitory Protein K13 affected genes and cytokines in human blood vascular endothelial cells. The KSHV-encoded K13 protein is one of the few proteins to be expressed in latently-infected spindle cells and the ectopic expression of K13 in human vascular endothelial cells is sufficient to transform them into spindle cells. Experiment Overall Design: We have examined the effect of ectopic K13 expression on global gene expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).

Transcription profiling of Plasmodium falciparum synchronized blood stages exposed to lethal doses of artesunate

Project description:Each experiment consisted in an artesunate-free culture (control) and an artesunate treated culture. For each time point explored, cDNA from parasites with and without the drug were labeled with different cyanines, mixed and hybridized. To analyse dynamic transcriptome alterations, two pilot experiments were performed in which RNA was harvested at 90 and 180 minutes of incubation with the drug. <br><br> Since artesunate is active on ring stages as well as on older trophozoite stages, we decided to explore different time points along the erythrocytic cycle and search for genes affected at each time point. Therefore, five drug treatment experiments, staggered between 20 hours and 30 hours of parasite development, were performed for the comparison of drug versus no drug at 90 minutes and 3 hours. <br><br> Different expression levels in artesunate-exposed vs. control unexposed cultures could reflect the added effects of the actual response to artesunate together with a possible difference in growth rate/developmental stage. To identify the developmentally regulated genes in the artesunate-free control culture, the 3 hours RNA was hybridized against the time 0 RNA (3 control experiments).

Artesunate inhibits the cell viability of diffuse large B cell lymphoma cells by increasing the susceptibility to ferroptosis (RNA-seq).

Project description:Comparing the effects of artesunate versus DMSO in three DLBCL cell lines, we found a decrease in cell viability to 80%-60%. Over increasing artesunate dosage,we found increasing ROS generation and lipid peroxidation. In combination with the Ferrostatin-1 rescue experiment, we conclude that cell death induced by artesunate is ferroptotic. We compared the transcriptome of the U2932 cell line with and without 100µm artesunate in triplicate. A ferroptosis gene signature is shown to be enriched among the upregulated genes of this comparison. GPX4 protein expression was shown to be downregulated after artesunate in U2932 cells, but not in the rescue experiment with Ferrostatin-1. MT1G gene expression was identified as required for artesunate-mediated ferroptosis via targeted suppression by shRNAs. We present significantly decreased cell viability when combining artesunate with doxorubicin, suggesting a potential translation into clinic for treatment of ABC and GCB DLBCL.
