Alteration in Cytoadherence and Rosetting of Plasmodium fakiparum-Infected Thalassemic Red Blood Cells

چکیده
Hemoglobinopathies have a protective role in malaria that appears to be related to alterations in red blood cell (RBC) properties. Thalassemic RBCs infected with Plasmodium falciparum showed greatly reduced cytoadherence and rosetting properties as well as impaired growth and multiplication. A significant decrease in the levels of falciparum antigens associated with the membrane of infected 8-thalassemic RBCs was observed at trophozoite/schizont stage, but not young ring stage. This reduction was shown

متن کاملRosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells with uninfected red blood cells enhances microvascular obstruction under flow conditions.
The occurrence of rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected human red blood cells (IRBC) with uninfected red blood cells (RBC) and its potential pathophysiologic consequences were investigated under flow conditions using the perfused rat mesocecum vasculature. Perfusion experiments were performed using two knobby (K+) lines of P falciparum, ie, rosetting positive (K+R+) and rosetting negative...
متن کاملEffects of sevuparin on rosette formation and cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes
In severe falciparum malaria cytoadherence of parasitised red blood cells (PRBCs) to vascular endothelium (causing sequestration) and to uninfected red cells (causing rosette formation) contribute to microcirculatory flow obstruction in vital organs. Heparin can reverse the underlying ligand-receptor interactions, but may increase the bleeding risks. As a heparin-derived polysaccharide, sevupar...
متن کاملComplement factor D, albumin, and immunoglobulin G anti-band 3 protein antibodies mimic serum in promoting rosetting of malaria-infected red blood cells.
Rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (parasitized RBC [pRBC]) with uninfected RBC has been associated in many studies with malaria morbidity and is one form of cytoadherence observed with malarial parasites. Rosetting is serum dependent for many isolates of P. falciparum, including the strains FCR3S1.2 and Malayan Camp studied here. We identified the three naturally occur...
متن کاملContinued cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells after antimalarial treatment
Development of severe disease in Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection is thought to be, at least in part, due to the sequestration of trophozoite-stage infected red blood cells in the microvasculature. The process of cytoadherence is mediated by binding of the parasite protein PfEMP-1 on the surface of infected red blood cells to endothelial cell receptors. Although antimalarial treatments r...
