Pathological role of Toll-like receptor signaling in cerebral malaria.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize malaria parasites or their metabolites; however, their physiological roles in malaria infection in vivo are not fully understood. Here, we show that myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88)-dependent TLR signaling mediates brain pathogenesis of severe malaria infection, namely cerebral malaria (CM). A significant number of MyD88-, but not TIR...
متن کاملIrf8-Regulated Genomic Responses Drive Pathological Inflammation during Cerebral Malaria
Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8) is required for development, maturation and expression of anti-microbial defenses of myeloid cells. BXH2 mice harbor a severely hypomorphic allele at Irf8 (Irf8(R294C)) that causes susceptibility to infection with intracellular pathogens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report that BXH2 are completely resistant to the development of cerebral malaria...
متن کاملClinico-pathological study of cerebral aneurysms.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES A clinico-pathological study of cerebral aneurysms was undertaken to understand the histopathogical nature of the lesions and to ascertain possible etiological risk factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Of the 255 cases of cerebral aneurysms operated upon at our Institute during the two-year period between Jan 1999 to Dec 2000, a detailed study was conducted on 57 cases where the ...
متن کاملMolecular basis of human cerebral malaria development
Cerebral malaria is still a deleterious health problem in tropical countries. The wide spread of malarial drug resistance and the lack of an effective vaccine are obstacles for disease management and prevention. Parasite and human genetic factors play important roles in malaria susceptibility and disease severity. The malaria parasite exerted a potent selective signature on the human genome, wh...
متن کاملA Single Human Cerebral Malaria Histopathologic Study Can Be Worth a Thousand Experiments.
Severe malaria is a density-dependent disease that comprises infected-erythrocyte sequestration, with or without monocytic infiltration, as seen in renal, placental, and lung tissues from severe malaria patients. HIV induces a chronic proinflammatory state with higher numbers of inflammasome-activated monocytes and platelets circulating. The epidemiological and pathological study of S. E. Hochm...
