A proteomics screen implicates HSP83 and a small kinetoplastid calpain-related protein in drug resistance in Leishmania donovani clinical field isolates by modulating drug-induced programmed cell death.
The therapeutic mainstay against the protozoan parasite Leishmania is still based on the antiquated pentavalent antimonials (Sb(V)), but resistance is increasing in several parts of the world. Resistance is now partly understood in laboratory isolates, but our understanding of resistance in field isolates is lagging behind. We describe here a comparative analysis of a genetically related pair o...
متن کاملFrequency of PGP and MRPA efflux pump genes in drug resistance in clinical isolates of Leishmania tropica and L. major
This study aimed to identify PGP and MRPA genes in clinical isolates of Leishmania. The genes of pgpa (MRPA) and mdr1 (PGP) are involved in the drug resistance, their products act as dependent transporters of ATP (ABC Transporter) in the reflux of drugs from the cytosol to the outer space of the cell. Hence, 40 volunteers with leishmaniasis were randomly selected. Firstly, Amastigotes were exam...
متن کاملDrug resistance mechanisms in clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani.
Leishmania are protozoan parasites distributed worldwide. About 1.5-2.0 million cases are reported in the world annually from this disease and the death toll is estimated to be 57,000. Along with Brazil, Sudan and Bangladesh, India contributes to 90 per cent of the global burden of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The absence of effective vaccines and vector control programmes, makes chemotherapy t...
متن کاملIdentification of Agents with Potential Leishmania Malate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor Activity: A Proteomic and Molecular Docking Approach
Background and purpose: Leishmaniasis is one of the most important infectious diseases caused by different species of the Leishmania, which is a public health problem worldwide. So far, no effective vaccine is introduced for this disease and drug therapy is associated with many side effects. Therefore, this study was designed to identify novel FDA-approved compounds with anti-leishmanial activ...
متن کاملTopoisomerase I gene mutations at F270 in the large subunit and N184 in the small subunit contribute to the resistance mechanism of the unicellular parasite Leishmania donovani towards 3,3'-diindolylmethane.
3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM), a novel poison targeting Leishmania donovani topoisomerase I (LdTOP1LS), induces programmed cell death in Leishmania parasites. The development of resistant parasites by adaptation with increasing concentrations of DIM generates random mutations in LdTOP1LS. Single-nucleotide mutations result in the amino acid substitutions F270L and K430N in the large subunit and N...
