MetabolomicsTranscriptional Shift and Metabolic Adaptations during Leishmania Quiescence Using Stationary Phase and Drug Pressure as Models

Microorganisms can adopt a quiescent physiological condition which acts as a survival strategy under unfavourable conditions. Quiescent cells are characterized by slow or non-proliferation and deep down-regulation of processes related to biosynthesis. Although quiescence has been described mostly...

MetabolomicsMapping immune variation and var gene switching in naive hosts infected with Plasmodium falciparum
Falciparum malaria is clinically heterogeneous and the relative contribution of parasite and host in shaping disease severity remains unclear. We explored the interaction between inflammation and parasite variant surface antigen (VSA) expression, asking whether this relationship underpins the variat...

MetabolomicsCell overgrowth potentiates osmotic and replication stresses to promote p38/p53/p21-dependent senescence
Abnormal increases in cell size are associated with senescence and cell cycle exit. The mechanisms by which overgrowth primes cells to withdraw from the cell cycle remain unknown. We address this question using CDK4/6 inhibitors, which arrest cells in G0/G1 and are licensed to treat advanced HR+/HER...

MetabolomicsCDK4/6 inhibitor-mediated cell overgrowth triggers an osmotic stress response and chronic p38MAPK activation to promote long-term cell cycle arrest

Cell size and the cell cycle are intrinsically coupled and abnormal increases in cell size are associated with senescence and permanent cell cycle arrest. The mechanism by which overgrowth primes cells to withdraw from the cell cycle remains unknown. We investigate this here using CDK4/6 inhibito...

MetabolomicsAlignment of multiple metabolomics LC-MS datasets from disparate diseases to reveal fever-associated metabolites

Acute febrile illnesses are still a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally, particularly in low to middle income countries. The aim of this study was to determine any possible metabolic commonalities of patients infected with disparate pathogens that cause fever. Three liquid chromatogra...

MetabolomicsVeterinary trypanocidal benzoxaboroles are peptidase-activated prodrugs (T. brucei assay)

Livestock diseases caused by Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax and T. brucei, collectively known as nagana, are responsible for billions of dollars in lost food production annually. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutics. Encouragingly, promising antitrypanosomal benzoxaboroles are under v...

MetabolomicsMining for natural product antileishmanials in a fungal extract library
Leishmaniasis is a Neglected Tropical Disease caused by the insect-vector borne protozoan parasite, Leishmania species. Infection affects millions of the World’s poorest, however vaccines are absent and drug therapy limited. Recently, public-private partnerships have developed to identify new modes ...

MetabolomicsInvestigation of the threonine metabolism of Echinococcus multilocularis: EmTDH as a potential drug target in alveolar echinococcosis
Alveolar echinococcosis is a severe zoonotic disease caused by the fox tapeworm E. multilocularis. New treatment options are urgently needed. Whole-organism-based screening allows the discovery of potential new anti-echinococcal compounds, but suffers from low- to medium-throughput. An alternative a...

MetabolomicsCell-based and multi-omics profiling reveal dynamic metabolic repurposing of mitochondria to drive developmental progression of Trypanosoma brucei

Mitochondrial metabolic remodeling is a hallmark of the Trypanosoma brucei digenetic life cycle since the insect stage utilizes the cost-effective oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP, while bloodstream cells switch to less energetically efficient aerobic glycolysis. Due to difficulties in a...
