项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): Despite decades of effort to conquer malaria, it remains a leading cause of death due to a single infectious agent. The advent of drug-resistance by Plasmodium falciparum and insecticide resistance by the mosquito vector jointly makes development of therapy against malaria highly desirable. While a vaccine to prevent infection is a laudable goal, the development of therapy to control the pathological consequences of malaria may represent a more achievable solution. To develop such a therapy, we need a detailed understanding of the pathophysiology of malaria. Results from clinical studies of P. falciparum patients indicate that these individuals develop impaired consciousness with posturing (cerebral malaria), respiratory distress with lactic acidosis, anemia and (rarely) acute nephritis. Development of shock is, according to the WHO, a prognostic indicator of poor outcome. In addition, patients with P. falciparum have activated endothelium with increased expression on endothelium of a number of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Collectively these findings indicate that the processes of circulatory shock are occurring in patients with P. falciparum malaria. Recent work from our laboratory indicates that P. berghei-infected mice, a well-recognized model of cerebral malaria, also develop circulatory shock and respiratory distress with lactic acidosis. This model is therefore useful to mechanistically dissect the role of CAMs in the development of cerebral malaria and respiratory distress. We will use the recently developed dual radiolabel technique to assess CAM expression on endothelium and flow cytometry to assess CAM expression on T cells during P. berghei malaria. CAMs with increased expression during P. berghei malaria will be tested for their role in cerebral malaria and respiratory distress by using CAM0/0 and anti-CAM mAb-treated mice. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are often needed to increase CAM expression, so we will determine whether selected pro-inflammatory cytokines function in pathogenesis of malaria by regulating CAM expression. Our preliminary data indicate that both CAMs and pro-inflammatory cytokines are indeed required for pathogenesis of P. berghei malaria. We will test whether inhibition of an intracellular signaling pathway (specifically NF-?B) abrogates cerebral malaria and respiratory distress by preventing increased CAM expression and T cell adherence to endothelium.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管征服了数十年的努力疟疾，它仍然是单个传染剂导致死亡的主要原因。恶性疟原虫和杀虫剂抗药性的出现蚊子载体的抵抗共同发展疟疾非常可取。虽然预防感染的疫苗是值得称赞的目标，发展治疗以控制的病理后果疟疾可能代表了更可实现的解决方案。为了开发这种疗法，我们需要详细了解疟疾的病理生理学。结果恶性疟原虫患者的临床研究表明这些人通过姿势（脑疟疾），呼吸道发展意识受损乳酸酸中毒，贫血和（很少）急性肾炎的困扰。发展根据世界卫生组织的说法，令人震惊的是预后不良结果的指标。在此外，恶性疟原虫患者已激活内皮，增加许多细胞粘附分子（CAM）的内皮表达。这些发现共同表明循环冲击的过程恶性疟原虫疟疾患者发生。我们最近的工作实验室表明，伯格（P. berghei）感染的小鼠，一种公认的模型脑疟疾，还会产生循环冲击和呼吸窘迫乳酸酸中毒。因此，该模型可用于机械剖析凸轮在脑疟疾和呼吸窘迫发展中的作用。我们将使用最近开发的双辐射标记技术来评估CAM 在内皮和流式细胞仪上的表达以评估T的CAM表达伯格疟原虫疟疾期间的细胞。在P期间表达增加的凸轮。 Berghei疟疾将在脑疟疾和使用CAM0/0和抗CAM MAB处理的小鼠呼吸窘迫。通常需要促炎性细胞因子来增加CAM表达，因此我们将确定选定的促炎细胞因子是否在通过调节CAM表达的疟疾发病机理。我们的初步数据表明确实需要CAM和促炎细胞因子贝尔格疟原虫的发病机理。我们将测试是否抑制细胞内信号通路（特别是NF-？b）消除了脑疟疾通过防止CAM表达增加和T细胞来防止呼吸窘迫遵守内皮。
