MetabolomicsPantothenate biosynthesis is critical for chronic infection by the neurotropic parasite Toxoplasma gondii
Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential molecule acting in metabolism, post-translational modification, and regulation of gene expression. While all organisms synthesize CoA, many, including humans, are unable to produce its precursor, pantothenate. Intriguingly, like most plants, fungi and bacteria, paras...

MetabolomicsMetabolomic signature of mouse cerebral cortex following Toxoplasma gondii infection

BACKGROUND: The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects and alters the neurotransmission in cerebral cortex and other brain regions, leading to neurobehavioral and neuropathologic changes in humans and animals. However, the molecules that contribute to these changes remain l...

MetabolomicsGlobal Metabolomic Profiling of Mice Brains following Experimental Infection with the Cyst-Forming Toxoplasma gondii
The interplay between the Apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii and its host has been largely studied. However, molecular changes at the metabolic level in the host central nervous system and pathogenesis-associated metabolites during brain infection are largely unexplored. We used a global metabo...

MetabolomicsSulfadiazine Sodium Improves Dysfunctional Metabolomics in Toxoplasma gondii-infected Mice
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that poses a severe threat to human health, especially those immune-compromised individuals. Sulfadiazine sodium (SDZ) is widely used for the treatment of human toxoplasmosis. However, systems biology researches on the therapeutic eff...

MetabolomicsLipidomic analysis of Toxoplasma gondii extracellular vesicles across host cell types

Introduction. Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite with an exceptional capacity to colonize a broad range of host species and cell types. Successful infection depends on its ability to manipulate host metabolism, including lipid pathways that are essential for membrane biogenes...

MetabolomicsMetabolite profile of mice hippocampus following Toxoplasma gondii infection
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with a remarkable neuro-tropismneurotropic affinity. We recently showed that T. gondii infection can alter the global metabolism of the cerebral cortex of the mice. However, the impact of this infection on the metabolism of the hippocampus remains unclear. I...

MetabolomicsToxoplasma gondii infection induces metabolic alterations in the mouse cerebellum
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with a remarkable neurotropic affinity. We recently showed that T. gondii infection can alter the global metabolism of the cerebral cortex of the mice. However, the impact of this infection on the metabolism of the cerebellum remained unclear. In this study,...

MetabolomicsSerum Metabolic Profiling of Oocyst-Induced Toxoplasma gondii Acute and Chronic Infections in Mice Using Mass-Spectrometry
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite causing severe diseases in immunocompromised individuals and congenitally infected neonates, such as encephalitis and chorioretinitis. This study aimed to determine whether serum metabolic profiling can (i) identify metabolites associated with ...

MetabolomicsThe Toxoplasma micropore mediates endocytosis for selective nutrient salvage from host cell compartments

Apicomplexan parasite growth and replication relies on nutrient acquisition from host cells, in which intracellular multiplication occurs, yet the mechanisms that underlie the nutrient salvage remain elusive. Numerous ultrastructural studies have documented a plasma membrane invagination with a d...

ProteomicsAn apical protein, Pcr2, is required for persistent movement by the human parasite Toxoplasma gondii
Protein samples were analyzed by Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology (MudPIT), as described previously. Briefly, precipitated proteins were resuspended in 30uL of 100mM Tris pH 8.5 with 8M urea to denature proteins. Cysteines were reduced and alkylated prior to digestion with recombin...
