Plasmodium yoelii Erythrocyte Binding-like Protein Modulates Host Cell Membrane Structure, Immunity, and Disease Severity

ABSTRACT: Erythrocyte binding-like (EBL) proteins are known to play an important role in malaria parasite invasion; however, any roles in regulating host immune responses remain unknown. Here we show that an amino acid substitution (C741Y) in the protein trafficking domain of Plasmodium yoelii EBL (PyEBL) changes host immune response and disease severity, but not invasion of red blood cells (RBCs) as suggested previously. The C741Y substitution alters protein processing and trafficking in merozoites and in the cytoplasm of iRBCs, reduces its binding to Band 3, increases phosphatidylserine (PS) surface exposure, and elevates osmotic fragility of iRBCs. The modified iRBC surface triggers PS-CD36 mediated phagocytosis of iRBCs, host type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling, and T cell differentiation, leading to improved host survival. This study reveals a previously unknown role of PyEBL in regulating the innate immune response and host-pathogen interaction, which may be explored for developing disease control strategies.

Cytoadhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells changes the expression of cytokine-, histone- and antiviral protein-encoding genes in brain endothelial cells

Project description:Introduction Malaria remains a significant global health problem, particularly due to the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which is responsible for most fatal infections. Infected red blood cells (iRBCs) evade spleen clearance by adhering to endothelial cells (ECs), triggering capillary blockage, inflammatory cytokine release, endothelial dysfunction, and altered vascular permeability, prompting an endothelial transcriptional response. Methods The iRBCIT4var04/HBEC-5i model, where iRBCs present IT4var04 (VAR2CSA) on their surface was employed to analyse the effects of iRBC binding on ECs. We used this model to investigate how cytoadhesion of iRBCs to ECs influences their expression profile depending on the temperature (37°C vs 40°C). Results Binding of non-infected RBCs (niRBCs) and fever alone significantly changes expression of hundreds of genes in ECs. Comparing the expression profile of HBEC-5i cultured either in the presence of iRBCs or in the presence of niRBCs, genes encoding proteins assigned to the GO terms immune response, nucleosome assembly, NF-kappa B signaling, angiogenesis, and antiviral immune response/interferon-alpha/beta signaling pathway were significantly up-regulated. If the cultivation temperature is increased from 37°C to 40°C, which simulates fever, a further significant increase in expression can be observed for most regulated genes, especially for genes coding for cytokines and proteins involved in angiogenesis. Conclusion The presence of iRBCs leads to the stimulation of ECs, activating several immunological signaling pathways and affecting antiviral (-parasitic) mechanisms and angiogenesis. Furthermore, to our knowledge, the induction of the interferon-alpha/beta signaling pathway in ECs in response to iRBCs has been described for the first time.

Involvement of β-defensin 130 (DEFB130) in the macrophage microbicidal mechanisms for killing Plasmodium falciparum

Project description:Understanding the molecular defense mechanism of macrophages and identifying their effector molecules against malarial parasites may provide important clues for the discovery of new therapies. To analyze the immunological responses of malarial parasite-induced macrophages, we used DNA microarray technology to examine the gene profile of differentiated macrophages phagocytizing Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized erythrocytes (iRBCs). The transcriptional gene profile of macrophages in response to iRBCs represented 168 down-regulated genes, which were mainly involved in the cellular immune response, and 216 upregulated genes, which were involved in cellular proteolysis, growth, and adhesion. Importantly, the specific upregulation of β-defensin 130 (DEFB130) in these macrophages suggested a possible role for DEFB130 in malarial parasite elimination. Strikingly, differentiated macrophages phagocytizing iRBCs exhibited an increase in intracellular DEFB130 levels and DEFB130 appeared to accumulate at the site of iRBC engulfment. Furthermore, DEFB130 synthetic peptide exhibited a modest toxic effect on P. falciparum in vitro and P. yoelii in vivo, unlike scrambled DEFB130 peptide, which showed no antiplasmodial activity. Our data broaden our knowledge of the immunological response of macrophages to iRBCs and shed light on a new target for therapeutic intervention.

Circadian Control of the Response of Macrophages to Plasmodium spp.-Infected Red Blood Cells.

Project description:In this study, we sought to determine whether the intensity of the immune response to Plasmodium spp., the parasite causing malaria, depends on time of infection. For this, we considered the known existence of a circadian clock in immune cells which regulates several aspects of the immune response. Experiments were performed using mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) stimulated ex vivo with red blood cells infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA (iRBCs) or uninfected RBCs. First, we identified that lysed iRBCs triggered an immune response in macrophages. Then, by stimulating at 4 different circadian time points (16 h, 22 h, 28 h or 34 h post-synchronization of the cells clock), rhythms in reactive oxygen species and cytokines/chemokines were found. Furthermore, the analysis of the macrophage proteome and phosphoproteome revealed global changes according to treatment (iRBC or RBC) and to the circadian time point. In summary, our findings showed that the circadian clock within macrophages determines the magnitude of immune response upon stimulation with iRBCs, along with changes of the cell proteome and phosphoproteome.

Strain-specific Innate Immune Signaling Pathways Determine Malaria Parasitemia Dynamics and Host Mortality

Project description:Malaria infection triggers vigorous host immune responses; however, the parasite ligands, host receptors and the signaling pathways responsible for these reactions remain unknown or controversial. Malaria parasites primarily reside within red blood cells (RBCs), thereby hiding themselves from direct contact and recognition by host immune cells. Host responses to malaria infection are very different from those elicited by bacterial and viral infections and the host receptors recognizing parasite ligands have been elusive. Here we investigated mouse genome-wide transcriptional responses to infections with two strains of Plasmodium yoelii (N67 and N67C) and discovered differences in innate response pathways corresponding to strain-specific disease phenotypes. Using in vitro RNAi gene knockdown and knockout mice, we demonstrated that a strong IFN-I response triggered by RNA Polymerase III and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5), not Toll-like receptors (TLRs), binding of parasite DNA/RNA contributed to a decline of parasitemia in N67-infected mice. We showed that conventional dendritic cells were the major sources of early IFN-I, and that surface expression of phosphatidylserine (PS) on infected RBC (iRBC) might promote their phagocytic uptake, leading to the release of parasite ligands and the IFN-I response in N67 infection. In contrast, an elevated inflammatory response mediated by CD14/TLR and p38 signaling played a role in disease severity and early host death in N67C-infected mice. In addition to identifying cytosolic DNA/RNA sensors and signaling pathways previously unrecognized in malaria infection, our study demonstrates the importance of parasite genetic backgrounds in malaria pathology and provides important information for studying human malaria pathogenesis. Spleen RNA from mice, 4 days post infection with Plasmodium yoelii (strain N67 or N67C), or mock infection (N). Replicates from 6 individual mice per condition.

Transcription profiling of human primary brain microvascular endothelial cell to investigate the effect of treatment with Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes

Project description:Cerebral malaria is a multifactorial condition that begins with high numbers of infected erythrocytes binding to human brain endothelium without invasion into the brain. Here we investigated the global transcriptional gene response of primary human brain endothelial cells after incubation with high numbers of infected erythrocytes; High or low parasite binding phenotypes did not alter gene response. Predominate amongst signaling pathways were the NF-kB proinflammatory response. The inflammatory pathways were validated by direct measurement of proteins. This study delineates the strong inflammatory component of human brain endothelium contributing to cerebral malaria. Experiment Overall Design: Total of 8 samples (4 control and 4 treated) were analyzed. 4 control samples included two normal RBC control and two medium controls. 4 treated samples includes 2 exposed to low binding Pf-IRBC and 2 exposed to high binding Pf-IRBC (Pf-IRBC-P). Medium and RBC controls were finally used as four replicates of control and all four Pf-IRBC or Pf-IRBC-P exposed endothelial cells were used as 4 separate treated controls.

Combined transcriptome and proteome profiling for role of pfEMP1 in antimalarial mechanism of action of dihydroartemisin

Project description:Malaria parasites induce morphological and biochemical changes in the membranes of parasite-infected red blood cells (iRBCs) for propagation. Artemisinin combination therapies are the first-line antiplasmodials in endemic countries. However, the mechanism of action of artemisinin is unclear, and drug resistance decreases long-term efficacy. To understand whether artemisinin targets or interacts with iRBC membrane proteins, this study investigated the molecular changes caused by dihydroartemisin (DHA), an artemisinin derivative, in Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 using a combined transcriptomic and membrane proteomic profiling approach.

Expression data of gene knockout Plasmodium falciparum clones

Project description:The variant antigen, Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), expressed on the surface of P. falciparum infected Red Blood Cells (iRBCs) is a critical virulence factor for malaria. Each parasite encodes 60 antigenically distinct var genes encoding PfEMP1s, but during infection the clonal parasite population expresses only one gene at a time before switching to the expression of a new variant antigen as an immune evasion mechanism to avoid the hostM-bM-^@M-^Ys antibody responses. The mechanism by which 59 of the 60 var genes are silenced remains largely unknown. We used microarrays to detail the global programme changes of gene expression caused by each gene knockout with a particular view towards which gene knockout results in transcriptional upregulation of the entire var gene family. Plasmodium falciparum clones, in each of which one of different histone lysine methylation modification enzyme genes was knocked out, were synchronized in the asexual stage and collected at indicated time points post invasion of erythrocytes for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify the key epigenetic enzyme that controls silencing of the whole var gene family.
