L-arginine metabolism during interaction of Trypanosoma cruzi with host cells

Trends in Parasitology
G PeluffoR Radi

Abstract

Trypanosoma cruzi invades a diversity of nucleated cells in the mammalian host. Macrophages are among the first cells to be parasitized and, after activation by inflammatory stimuli, they participate in the control of infection. However, some parasites manage to evade the immune response and establish a chronic infection in differentiated cells. L-arginine is located at the crossroads of divergent routes that produce metabolites, including nitric oxide and polyamines, which influence the outcome (i.e. resolution or progression) of infection. This article discusses the fate and actions of L-arginine-derived biomolecules formed both in the host and in the parasite during T. cruzi-host-cell interactions.

African Trypanosomiasis

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei and almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. Discover the latest research on African trypanosomiasis here.

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
