Transcription profiling of Plasmodium falciparum synchronized blood stages exposed to lethal doses of artesunate

ABSTRACT: Each experiment consisted in an artesunate-free culture (control) and an artesunate treated culture. For each time point explored, cDNA from parasites with and without the drug were labeled with different cyanines, mixed and hybridized. To analyse dynamic transcriptome alterations, two pilot experiments were performed in which RNA was harvested at 90 and 180 minutes of incubation with the drug.

Since artesunate is active on ring stages as well as on older trophozoite stages, we decided to explore different time points along the erythrocytic cycle and search for genes affected at each time point. Therefore, five drug treatment experiments, staggered between 20 hours and 30 hours of parasite development, were performed for the comparison of drug versus no drug at 90 minutes and 3 ho
