abstract

background: glucantime ® is the first- line drug for the treatment of all forms of leishmaniasis. unfortunately, the prevalence of parasites becoming resistant to glucantime ® is increasing in several parts of the world including iran. as protein is the most important target for drugs in response to a variety of signals including drugs so, it seems expression protein patterns in sensitive and resistant leishmania parasites could greatly help us about the mechanisms of responses to antileishmanial drugs. in this study, we used 2-dimentional gel electrophoresis (2-de) method to determine protein expression profiles between drug (glucantime ® ) sensitive and resistant leishmania tropica isolated from iranian an­throponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (acl) patients. methods: we used from the two confirmed genetically of glucantime ® sensitive (mash-4) and resistant (mash-927) field strains of l. tropica, isolated from acl patients in north eastern iran. the two leishmania isolates were cultured, promastigotes were harvested followed by protein extraction using tca/aceton to study protein profiling, 2-de was done and gels stained with silver nitrate. results: at least 2236 distinct protein spots were detected. twelve spots out of them, showed significant changes in expression in resistant compared to sensitive isolates. of these, 11 protein spots were up- and one was down-regulated. conclusions: this preliminary study has showed that a number of proteins differentially expressed in drug (glucan­time ® ) resistance l. tropica and probably the role of these proteins are increasing the parasite resistance against the drug and delay in cell death.

Protein profiling and analysis of drug sensitive and multidrug resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a deadly infectious disease despite all the efforts to reduce its incidence. Spread of multidrug resistant TB has seriously undermined the efforts to control the disease globally. In this study protein expression profile of MDR and sensitive isolates of MTB were analyzed and compared in order to identify proteins, which could be used in prevention, diagno...

Comparative proteomics study on meglumine antimoniate sensitive and resistant Leishmania tropica isolated from Iranian anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis patients.

In order to define the protein expressional changes related to the process of meglumine antimoniate resistance in anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), we performed a comparative proteomics analysis on sensitive and resistant strains of Leishmania tropica isolated from Iranian CL patients. Cell proteins were analysed with 2-dimensional electrophoresis and differentially expressed proteins...

omparative study of oral azithromycin and systemic meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime) in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis

Background and aim: Complications and resistance to pentavalent antimonial agents in cutaneous leishmaniasis, exhibit the need for effective alternative drugs. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of oral azithromycin with systemic meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime) in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Materials and Methods: Forty-seven patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis...
