Interaction between human immunodeficiency virus and Toxoplasma gondii replication in dually infected monocytoid cells.

چکیده
THP-1 monocytoid cells, either not infected or chronically infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), were challenged with Toxoplasma gondii. Parasitic growth, as assessed by trophozoite counting and measurement of supernatant p30 membrane antigen, was similar in HIV-infected and noninfected THP-1 cells. Also, T. gondii did not affect HIV replication. These experiments therefore failed to demonstrate any interaction between HIV-1 and T. gondii replication in concurrently infected monocytoid cells.

Effects of Sodium Valproate on the Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1: An in Vitro Study
Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 promotes pathologic liver changes and death in mice coinfected with Schistosoma mansoni and Toxoplasma gondii.
We previously demonstrated that mice concurrently infected with Schistosoma mansoni and Toxoplasma gondii undergo accelerated mortality which is preceded by severe liver damage. Abnormally high levels of serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in the dually infected mice suggested a role for this and related proinflammatory mediators in the pathologic alterations. In order to evaluate the...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii Infection among HIV- Infected Patients in Tokyo, Japan
The seroprevalence of IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii was assessed in 169 adult non-hemophiliac Japanese patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. The seroprevalence of T. gondii infection was only 14.2%, which was similar to findings from the USA and lower than that reported for most other countries. The positive ratio of T. gondii IgG antibodies was significantly higher in...
متن کاملCD154 and type-1 cytokine response: from hyper IgM syndrome to human immunodeficiency virus infection.
CD40 and CD154 (CD40 ligand) are surface molecules that are central to the cross-talk between T cells and antigen-presenting cells. This article reviews the relevance of CD40-CD154 interaction for regulation of interleukin-12/interferon-gamma production in response to Toxoplasma gondii as an example of an intracellular pathogen. The manner in which defects in CD154 signaling contribute to immun...

Label-free imaging using Raman micro-spectroscopy (RMS) was used to characterize the spatio-temporal molecular changes of T. gondii tachyzoites and their host cell microenvironment. Raman spectral maps were recorded from isolated T. gondii tachyzoites and T. gondii-infected human retinal cells at 6 hr, 24 hr and 48 hr postinfection. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the Raman spectra of par...
