Single cell data for plasmodium replication in mouse red blood cells


ABSTRACT: Hypoglycemia is a clinical hallmark of severe malaria, the often-lethal outcome of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Yet, the underlying mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of malaria-associated hypoglycemia remain poorly understood. Here we report that labile heme, an alarmin generated as a byproduct of hemolysis during the blood stage of Plasmodium spp. infection, plays a central role in the development of malaria-associated hypoglycemia. Labile heme recapitulated the hypometabolic response to Plasmodium (chabaudi chabaudi; Pcc) infection in mice, including the development of anorexia, transcriptional repression of hepatic glucose production (HGP) and reduction of glycemia, energy expenditure (EE) as well as core body temperature. While this hypometabolic response is protective against immune-mediated liver damage and anemia, when sustained over time it can lead to hypoglycemia and compromise EE as well as thermoregulation. I response, asexual stages of Plasmodium spp. activate a transcriptional program that reduces virulence in favor of sexual commitment and presumably malaria transmission. In conclusion, malaria-associated hypoglycemia represents a trade-off of a hypometabolic defense strategy against Plasmodium infection.
