Project description:Artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria has emerged in western Cambodia. This is a major threat to global plans to control and eliminate malaria as the artemisinins are a key component of antimalarial treatment throughout the world. Using DNA microarrays we identify key features of a transcriptional profile that are associated with the delayed parasite clearance phenotype. These include reduced expression of several basic metabolic and cellular pathways in the early stages, and increased expression of essentially all functionalities associated with protein metabolism in the later stages of P. falciparum intraerythrocytic development. This is consistent with the reduced ring stage susceptibility that characterizes artemisinin resistant P. falciparum. This modulation of the P. falciparum intraerythrocytic transcriptome may result from differential expression of several regulatory proteins such as transcription factors of chromatin remodeling associated factors. In addition, the artemisinin resistant phenotype is strongly associated with a specific pattern of copy number variations, some of which are linked with differential expression of several regulatory proteins such as histone 4 and zinc permease. This study reports the first global transcriptional survey of artemisinin resistant parasites and provides a set of candidate genes for further investigation.

Project description:Plasmodium falciparum, the most pathogenic human malaria parasite, infects millions of human beings and causes a serious public health threat. Currently, the most potent anti-malarial drugs are artemisinin and its derivatives1,2. Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone with an endoperoxide bridge3. The activation of artemisinin requires the cleavage of the endoperoxide bridge in the presence of iron sources4. Once activated, artemisinins are converted into highly reactive carbon-centered radicals5,6 that attack macromolecules through alkylation and propagate a series of damages, eventually leading to parasite death7,8. Even though several parasite proteins have been reported as the targets of artemisinin9,10, the exact mechanism of artemisinin action is still controversial and its high potency and specificity against the malaria parasite could not be fully accounted. Here, we have developed an unbiased chemical proteomics approach to directly probe the mechanism of action of artemisinin in P. falciparum in situ. An alkyne-tagged artemisinin analogue coupled with biotin enables selective purification and identification of 124 artemisinin covalent-binding protein targets, many of which are involved in essential biological processes of the parasite. In vitro assays confirm the specific artemisinin binding and inhibition of selected targets. Such a broad targeting spectrum disrupts the biochemical landscape of the parasite and causes its death. Furthermore, using the alkyne-tagged artemisinin coupled with a fluorescent dye to monitor its protein binding, we showed that heme, rather than free ferrous iron, is predominantly responsible for artemisinin activation. The extremely high level of heme released from the hemoglobin digestion by the parasite make artemisinin exceptionally potent against late-stage parasites (trophozoite and schizont stages) compared to parasites at early ring stage, which have low level of heme, mainly from endogenous synthesis. The ‘blood eating’ nature of the parasite with the release of large amounts of heme confers artemisinin with extremely high specificity against the parasites, with minimum side effects towards healthy red blood cells. Taken together, our results established a unifying model to explain the action and specificity of artemisinin in parasite killing. Our findings could facilitate the development of better alternative strategies to treat malaria in times of emerging artemisinin resistance11,12.

Project description:Malaria parasites induce morphological and biochemical changes in the membranes of parasite-infected red blood cells (iRBCs) for propagation. Artemisinin combination therapies are the first-line antiplasmodials in endemic countries. However, the mechanism of action of artemisinin is unclear, and drug resistance decreases long-term efficacy. To understand whether artemisinin targets or interacts with iRBC membrane proteins, this study investigated the molecular changes caused by dihydroartemisin (DHA), an artemisinin derivative, in Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 using a combined transcriptomic and membrane proteomic profiling approach.

This study reports the first global transcriptional survey of artemisinin resistant parasites and provides a set of candidate genes for further investigation. 6 P. falciparum parasites (field isolates) which are either Artemsinin resistant or sensitive from 3 study sites (Pailin in Cambodia, Xepon in Laos, Mae Sot in Thailand) were sampled and harvested for genomic DNA. gDNA from a total of 6 samples were extracted by phenol chloroform. Synthesis of labelled target DNA was carried out as previously described: Mackinnon, M.J. et al. Comparative transcriptional and genomic analysis of Plasmodium falciparum field isolates.

Project description:Evolving resistance to artemisinin-based compounds in SE Asia threatens to derail attempts to control and eliminate malaria. Resistance has been confirmed in western Cambodia, has recently emerged in western Thailand, but is absent from neighboring Laos. Artemisinin resistance results in reduced parasite clearance rates (CR) from the blood following treatment. We used a two-phase approach to identify the genes underlying this ongoing selective event. Comparison of geographical differentiation and haplotype structure at 6,969 polymorphic SNPs in 91 parasites from western Cambodia, western Thailand and Laos identified 33 strongly selected genome regions. We screened SNPs and microsatellites within these genome regions in 718 parasites from western Thailand, and identified a 35kb region of chr 13 showing strong association (P=10-6 to 10-11) with slow CR. This region contains several compelling candidate loci, such as HSP70, for assessment by transfection. These results illustrate the efficacy of targeted association for identifying the genetic basis of adaptive traits. 91 malaria parasite isolates assayed for single nucleotide polymorphisms across 45K loci

Project description:Artemisia annua is well known for biosynthesizing artemisinin, which is the primary therapeutic approach against malaria. It was reported that treatment with leaf of A. annua showed better effect and less tendency of developing drug resistance than purified artemisinin, suggesting other components in A. annua may contribute to the therapeutic efficacy. Here, we conducted a global proteomic profiling of A. annua with identification of a total of 13,403 proteins based on the genome sequence annotation database. Furthermore, we generated a spectral library to perform quantitative proteomic analysis using data independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA-MS). Specifically, we comprehensively quantified and compared proteins between two chemotypes that produce high (HAP) and low (LAP) artemisinin content, respectively. 182 proteins were identified with abundance significantly different between these two chemotypes. Overall, our current study globally identified the proteome of A. annua and quantitatively compared the targeted sub-proteomes between the two cultivars of HAP and LAP, providing systematic information on metabolic pathways of A. annua and facilitating identification of good chemotypes for producing anti-malaria compounds.
