Abstract Chagas disease, which is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, an important cause of cardiomyopathy in Latin America. It estimated that 10%–30% all infected individuals will acquire chronic chagasic (CCC). The etiology CCC multifactorial and involves genotype, host genetic polymorphisms, immune response, signaling pathways autoimmune progression. Herein we verified impact recombinant form P21 (rP21), a secreted T. cruzi protein involved cell invasion, on progression inflammatory...

Abstract The combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine is the standard care in cases congenital toxoplasmosis. However, therapy with these drugs associated severe sometimes life-threatening side effects. investigation phytotherapeutic alternatives to treat parasitic diseases without acute toxicity essential for advancement current therapeutic practices. present study investigates antiparasitic effects oleoresins from different species Copaifera genus against T. gondii . Oleoresins C....

P21 is a protein secreted by Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). Previous studies have shown spectrum of biological activities performed such as induction phagocytosis, leukocyte chemotaxis and inhibition angiogenesis. However, the activity in T. infection remains unknown. Here, we reported role mice harboring late infection. Treatment with recombinant (rP21) reduced parasite load angiogenesis, induced fibrosis cardiac tissue infected mice. In addition, rP21 growth epimastigotes, inhibited...

Abstract Ruthenium complexes have been extensively explored as potential molecules for cancer treatment. Considering our previous findings on the remarkable cytotoxic activity exhibited by ruthenium (II) complex 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate (hmxbato)- cis -[Ru II (ŋ 2 -O CC 7 H O )(dppm) ]PF 6 against Leishmania promastigotes and also similar metabolic characteristics between trypanosomatids tumor cells, present study aimed to analyze anticancer of hmxbato lung well partial death mechanisms...

Trypanosoma cruzi P21 protein (P21) is a putative secreted and immunomodulatory molecule with potent bioactive properties such as induction of phagocytosis actin cytoskeleton polymerization. Despite the described so far, action on parasite replication in muscle cell lineage or T. parasitism during acute experimental infection unclear. We observed that recombinant (rP21) decreased multiplication C2C12 myoblasts, phenomenon associated greater polymerization IFN-γ IL-4 higher expression. During...

Abstract Class 1 myosins (Myo1s) were the first unconventional identified and humans have eight known Myo1 isoforms. The family is involved in regulation of gene expression, cytoskeletal rearrangements, delivery proteins to cell surface, migration spreading. Thus, important role Myo1s different biological processes evident. In this study, we investigated effects pentachloropseudilin (PClP), a reversible allosteric potent inhibitor Myo1s, on angiogenesis. We demonstrated that treatment cells...

Leishmania (L.) amazonensis is one of the species responsible for development cutaneous leishmaniasis in South America. After entering vertebrate host, L. invades mainly neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells. Studies have shown that gal-3 acts as a pattern recognition receptor. However, role this protein context infection remains unclear. Here, we investigated impact expression on experimental by amazonensis. Our data showed plays controlling parasite invasion, replication formation...

Leishmaniasis causes alterations and lesions in the genital system, which leads to azoospermia testicular atrophy animals during chronic phase of infection. The aim this study was reveal kinetics Leishmania chagasi infection system male golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). Animals were intraperitoneally inoculated with amastigotes from L. chagasi. At different time points euthanized organs processed for histo-pathological, qPCR, cytokines testosterone detection assays. Our results showed...
