Gene-expression profiling discriminates between cerebral malaria (CM)-susceptible mice and CM-resistant mice.
The development of cerebral malaria (CM) in mice with Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection is under genetic control. Brain gene-expression patterns were investigated in well-defined genetically CM-resistant (CM-R; BALB/c and DBA/2) and CM-susceptible (CM-S; C57BL/6 and CBA/J) mice by use of cDNA microarrays. By combining transcriptional profiling with rigorous statistical methods and cluster analy...
متن کاملTargeting glutamine metabolism rescues mice from late-stage cerebral malaria.
The most deadly complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection is cerebral malaria (CM) with a case fatality rate of 15-25% in African children despite effective antimalarial chemotherapy. There are no adjunctive treatments for CM, so there is an urgent need to identify new targets for therapy. Here we show that the glutamine analog 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) rescues mice from CM when ad...
متن کاملHistamine H3 Receptor-Mediated Signaling Protects Mice from Cerebral Malaria
BACKGROUND Histamine is a biogenic amine that has been shown to contribute to several pathological conditions, such as allergic conditions, experimental encephalomyelitis, and malaria. In humans, as well as in murine models of malaria, increased plasma levels of histamine are associated with severity of infection. We reported recently that histamine plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of ...
متن کاملAbsence of apolipoprotein E protects mice from cerebral malaria
Cerebral malaria claims the life of millions of people each year, particularly those of children, and is a major global public health problem. Thus, the identification of novel malaria biomarkers that could be utilized as diagnostic or therapeutic targets is becoming increasingly important. Using a proteomic approach, we previously identified unique biomarkers in the sera of malaria-infected in...
متن کاملPotent in vivo anti-malaria activity of Goniothalamin against rodent malaria parasite infection in mice
Goniothalamin was evaluated for its anti-malaria activity in-vivo, using the 4-Day Suppressive Test (Peters & Robinson, 1975). The test were carried out against two strains of rodent malaria parasites, the sensitive strain P. berghei ANKA (MRA 311) strain and the resistant strain P. yoelii (MRA 312). An Initial screening was carried out using a single dose of 10 mg/kg body weight administered s...
