Cryptosporidium parvum at different developmental stages modulates host cell apoptosis in vitro

Infection and Immunity

Abstract

We studied apoptosis in a human ileocecal adenocarcinoma tumor cell line (HCT-8) infected with Cryptosporidium parvum, from 2 to 72 h postinfection (h.p.i.). At 2 h.p.i., the percentage of annexin V-positive cells in the cell culture had increased to 10% compared to 2.5% in noninfected control culture; sorted infected cells expressed mRNA of FasL, the active form of caspase 3, and high caspase 3 activity, whereas the noninfected neighboring cells sorted from the same culture showed no signs of apoptosis. At 24 h.p.i., the percentages of early (annexin V positive) and late (DNA fragment) apoptotic cells were 13 and 2%, respectively, in the entire cell culture, and these percentages were not statistically significant in comparison with those from noninfected control cultures. At this time, sorted infected cells expressed the inactive form of caspase 3, a low caspase 3 activity, and the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Noninfected cells sorted from the same culture showed expression of the active form of caspase 3, a moderate caspase 3 activity, and no Bcl-2 expression. At 48 h.p.i., the percentages of early and late apoptotic cells and caspase 3 activity had increased in the total cell culture, and both sorted infected and noninfecte...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
