Full textNonimmune civilians and military personnel traveling in malaria-endemic areas are at risk of malaria transmission and may become clinically ill during or after their travel. Approximately 25–30 million travelers from nontropical regions visit malaria-endemic countries annually, and about 30,000 cases of travel-associated clinical malaria occur each year. Each year, around 30. 000 French soldiers travelling in tropical areas are exposed to infectious diseases. Among them, malaria still represents an important threat as 12% of soldiers are infected by Plasmodium during their travel in spite of the respect of collective and individual protective measures against vector. The antimalarial chemoprophylaxis, mainly doxycycline (DOX) in the French Army, limits the number of clinical cases of malaria. However, since 2002, 3. 000 malaria cases have been reported in our forces. Around two of three were associated with a poor compliance especially after the return in France. The others cases might be explained by a decrease in the susceptibility of Plasmodium to DOX or a non optimal dosage. The aims of our work were to understand the mechanisms of action of DOX in P. Falciparum and to identify genetic determinants associated with a decrease susceptibility of P. Falciparum to DOX. In a first part, we studied the in vitro effects of DOX on P. Falciparum proteome at the asexual schizont stage by using of two differential proteomic technologies 2D DIGE and iTRAQ. Our findings suggest the apicoplast and the mitochondrion as targets for DOX. In a second study, the analysis of the distribution of DOX IC50s for 747 P. Falciparum African isolates by a Bayesian mixture modelling approach allowed us to find three different phenotypes of susceptibility to DOX. The cutoff of reduced susceptibility to DOX in vitro could be estimated to be 35μM. Then, we looked for genotypes associated with the three precedent phenotypes by sequencing eleven candidate genes and evaluating the copy numbers of two genes by quantitative real time PCR in 90 P. Falciparum African isolates. We have shown that pfmdt copy number > 1, pftetQ copy number > 1 and KYNNNN amino acid motif repetitions < 3 in TetQ protein were independently associated with decreased susceptibility to DOX

Full textThe Plasmodium falciparum sarco-endoplasmic reticulum ATPase Ca2+ pump (PfATP6) is a ten transmembrane protein involved in the regulation of the calcium homeostasis in the parasite. The importance of studying this protein relies on the fact that it has been hypothesized to be involved in the mechanism of action and resistance of artemisinins. Previous works, based on heterologous expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have shown contrasting results, generating many testable corollaries. Therefore, further work is needed to better understand the nature of interactions between artemisinins and SERCA-type transporters.In order to assess the essentiality of the gene in Plasmodium spp., a reverse genetics approach has been used. Knockout of the gene, in either P. falciparum and berghei, could not be achieved. Complementation for episomal rescue was found to be not possible. Tagging at the 3' end of PfATP6 and PbATP6 has been, also, attempted to study localization and expression of the protein in parasites. Manipulation of the gene at this position did not permit parasite survival. Our results, taken together, show that ATP6 is essential in Plasmodium spp..During our genetic studies, a stable and peculiar phenotype of Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 parasites has been noticed. The odd “monster” parasites contain an unusual swollen food vacuole throughout all stages of parasite development. Characterization of the unusual Plasmodium has been carried out, showing an increased sensitivity to chloroquine, but not to artemisinin or mefloquine. Taking into account the similarity of PfATP6 with the mammalian orthologue SERCA pump, new molecules, designed and synthesized to specifically target the mammalian protein, were tested on P. falciparum parasites. Four different classes of compounds (sHA 14-1, BHQ, chalcone and CPA analogues) showed to inhibit P. falciparum 3D7 and Dd2 growth in vitro at concentrations in the lower micromolar range. In addition, a novel class of molecules (thaperoxides), designed as an hybrid between artemisinin and thapsigargin, has been tested against 7G8 wild type and mutated L263E line. The latter carries a single nucleotide point mutation in PfATP6 that has been previously shown to be involved in artemisinin resistance. Considering the difficulty in manipulating the gene in the parasite and in order to better characterize PfATP6, a synthetic gene was optimized for heterologous expression in S. cerevisiae. This enabled successful complementation of a mutated yeast line (K616) lacking the endogenous P-type Ca2+ pumps, showing rescue of the yeast growth in presence of high concentration of free calcium. Different SERCA inhibitors, such as thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid, have been tested on K616 PfATP6 complemented yeast, in order to check for growth inhibition. All compounds showed to inhibit yeast growth selectively targeting PfATP6. In addition, the assay has been developed as a high throughput screening, in order to test new molecules for their activity. The method has proved to be a fast, highly reliable and reproducible tool for identification of new active compounds

Full textMalaria remains one of the main causes of infant mortality in the tropical world.The continuous emergence of parasite resistant to drug treatment is a serious threat to public health. Exploring new therapeutics targets based on depth knowledge on molecular mechanism of the parasite’s life is utmost needed in a paradigm of « red queen», which applies perfectly on the ability of the parasitic adaptation. The recent discovery of metacaspase of Plasmodium falciparum (PfMCA1) and the demonstration of its potential role in apoptosis, make it a therapeutic target against malaria. In order to increase knowledge about this protein, we planned, to determine the three-dimensional structure of PfMCA1, to confirm the different structures predicted in silico, and to look for new drug using molecular docking. However, this goal was not reached, since autoprocessing occurred during expression, and we failed to obtain the full-length protein. Then we studied the metacaspase of Plasmodium vivax (PvMCA1) in comparison with PfMCA1 and, we shown that histidine and cysteine residues in the dyad catalytic are well conserved. We have identified a second potential site in the catalytic domain of PvMCA1. We shown that residues in both putative sites are highly polymorphic in samples from Mauritania, Sudan and Oman. Mutations on these residues need to be deeply studied for their effects on the PvMCA1 function. This polymorphism found in catalytic residues of PvMCA1should be evaluated as new molecular marker of resistance

Full textPlasmodium endurance depends on the ability of the parasite to reorganize the cytosol of the erythrocyte, a terminally differentiated cell, and remodel its skeleton membrane immediately after invasion. In this way the parasite can organize the import/export of the molecules necessary to its survival. The comprehension of cellular trafficking mechanisms which occur during Plasmodium infection is a very important step and fundamental contribute to understand the biology of the malaria parasite.We identified in database of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei the gene family sep, corresponding to etramp in P. falciparum, encoding small exported proteins conserved in the genus Plasmodium. SEP proteins (13?16 kDa) contain a predicted signal peptide at the NH2-terminus, an internal hydrophobic region while they differ in their C-terminal region; the genes share the upstream regulative region while differ in the 3' UTR. Despite this, we showed that SEPs have a different timing of expression and a different localization: in the erythrocytic cycle PbSEP1 and PbSEP3 start to be expressed at trophozoite and the same amount of protein is detected also in schizonts and gametocytes, while PbSEP2 is highly detected in mature trophozoites and even more in gametocytes. In mosquitoes stages PbSEP1 and PbSEP3 are expressed only in ookinetes, while PbSEP2 is very abundant in ookinetes, oocysts and in sporozoites of the salivary glands. SEPs also have a different localization in the iRBC: PbSEP1 is targeted to the membrane of the parasitophorous vacuole, while PbSEP2 and 3 are exported beyond the parasite membrane and translocated to the host cell compartment in association with vesicle-like structures. In this study we identified the specific signals necessary for the correct timing of expression and to direct SEP proteins to the vacuolar membrane and to the host cell compartments.The second part of the work was carried out in Montpellier II University and aims to identify the localization of two RBC membrane skeleton components, dematin and adducin, during Plasmodium falciparum infection. Our purpose is to recognize a possible mechanism of internalization of host cytoskeleton components to the parasite compartments. In fact, IFA experiments carried on iRBCs showed that dematin and adducin start to be internalized at trophozoite stage and localize at the periphery of the parasite, most probably at the parasitophoruos vacuole (PV) membrane/lumen. Dematin and adducin internalization during Plasmodium infection is also demonstrated by subcellular fractionation and proteinase K assay: while dematin is fully internalized, adducin is partially protected and suggesting a localization of the protein at the periphery of the parasite where it can be exposed to PK degradation

Full textThe malaria, the disease provoked by the parasite Plasmodium, kills every year 1,5 to 2,7 million persons in the world. The discovery of a specific protein (PfHT) responsible for the transport of the sugar necesssary for the parasite to develop within the red corpuscles which it infects, lets envisage that this protein can become a new therapeutic target. The present work concerned the preparation of around thirty by-products of the glucose variously substituted in -3, to know better the influence of the nature, as well as the hydrophilie or the hydrophobia of these substituants, on the inhibition of the protein of transport of sugars at Plasmodium. Besides, same substituting (the motive undec-10-enyle) was introduced in a systematic way on the other positions of the glucose, both on oxygens and on carbons

Full textMalaria, a disease affecting not only humans but also various other vertebrates, is caused by a protozoon of the genus Plasmodium. The Plasmodium falciparum species is responsible for the most severe form of malaria in humans. At the intraerythrocytic stage of its complex life cycle, lipids are among the most critical components to be required for parasite growth and proliferation. Phospholipids (PLs), the main membrane constituents, mostly originate from the enzymatic machinery of the parasite. Foremost, in the form of two detailed reviews, we compare the PL synthetic pathways of prokaryotes and eukaryotes in general, to those of Plasmodium species. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), the major structural PLs of the parasite, are synthesized in P. Falciparum through a bewildering number of routes, greatly similar to those of yeast and plants. The first asked question concerned the occurrence of this wide range of metabolic pathways among diverse Plasmodium species. In silico and metabolic labelling studies revealed marked differences in PL synthesis between rodent and non-rodents parasite species. These findings relaunch the debate on the evolutionary origin of the human malaria parasites. As a second issue, the essential nature for parasite survival of the de novo PC and PE synthetic pathways, i. E. The Kennedy pathways, was questioned. Genetic studies in the rodent Plasmodium berghei parasite indicated that both Kennedy pathways are required at the erythrocytic stage. Thus, P. Berghei differs from yeast, in which these routes are auxiliary and not crucial. In parallel, other issues were addressed concerning key enzymes involved in PL synthesis, that are absent in the human host and/or that exhibit particular features compared to eukaryotic counterparts. Further studies in P. Falciparum are needed to characterize in greater detail the PL metabolism – i. E. Individual enzymes, regulation and cruciality – from a fundamental point of view and for antimalarial purposes

Full textMalaria is one of the world's most devastating tropical diseases caused by obligate intracellular protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Five species of these parasites cause malaria in humans and infection results in ~600,000 deaths annually primarily in children under the age of 5 and pregnant women living in the poorest areas of the globe. The parasites have an outstanding ability to generate resistance against existing chemotherapies and an efficacious vaccine is not available yet. Therefore it is imperative that attempts are being made to identify and validate new targets that can be exploited for future drug discovery.This study focused on the validation and elucidation of a parasite-specific gene product namely phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), which is not present in the human host and thus has one of the pre-requisites of a potential drug target. The gene had been previously genetically validated and it was demonstrated that mutant parasites lacking pepc were only viable in the presence of malate or fumarate, suggesting a role of the protein in intermediary carbon metabolism of the parasites.My studies had the goal to assess the role of PEPC using a metabolomics approach. Initially the methodologies to perform metabolomics analyses of Plasmodium-infected RBCs were established and standardised and it was assessed how to best analyse the hydrophilic metabolites present in the intracellular parasites and its host cell. We focused on metabolites of intermediary carbon metabolism, as it is likely that PEPC is important for metabolic functions linked to this in the parasites, in analogy to plants and bacteria. While global metabolomics analyses were appealing, it was decided to apply a targeted metabolomics and comparative approach using stable isotope labelling of the parasite metabolomes with 13C-U-glucose, 13C-bicarbonate and 13C-,15N-glutamine to assess the consequences of the pepc knockout on parasite metabolism.The data demonstrated that PEPC has an anaplerotic function fixing bicarbonate and leading to generation of malate that is fed into the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle and so transfers reducing equivalents from cytoplasm to mitochondrion as well as providing an entry point of carbon skeleton into the cycle. The most important findings with respect to parasite mitochondrial metabolism were that the parasites possess a complete and oxidative tricarboxylic acid cycle, which appears to have three entry points: 1. Acetyl CoA resulting from glycolytically generated pyruvate that is decarboxylated in the mitochondrion; 2. α-ketoglutarate from the reaction of glutamate dehydrogenase and 3. malate, which is a downstream product of malate dehydrogenase that reduces oxaloacetate the reaction product of PEPC. Other downstream reactions supported by PEPC activity are pyrimidine biosynthesis through the activity of aspartate aminotransferase also acting on the PEPC-derived oxaloacetate.Apart from malate, fumarate was the only other metabolite that reversed the growth defect of pepc mutant parasites. Hence the role of fumarase in the parasites was also assessed. To this end the endogenous fumarase gene of P. falciparum was tagged with an HA-tag, which showed that the protein is expressed in the intra-erythrocytic stages of P. falciparum and demonstrated that the protein is located in both mitochondrion and cytoplasm. In addition, the recombinant protein was produced and partially biochemically characterised. Numerous independent attempts to generate genetic deletion mutants of P. falciparum were unsuccessful, leaving the question whether the gene is essential for the parasites unanswered. However, it was possible to manipulate the locus by C-terminal tagging of the fumarase gene suggesting that fumarase might be indeed essential for parasite survival and therefore possibly suitable for future drug design and discovery

Full textSeveral sphingolipid pathways were described in Plasmodium falciparum, the malaria agent, during its intraerythrocytic stages : ceramide (Cer) de novo synthesis, glycosphingolipid and sphingomyelin (SM) synthesis, and SM hydrolysis. Metabolism of sphingolipids appears to be involved in fundamental processes for the parasite development. We realized a study of structure-activity relationships of Cer and SM analogues on the inhibition of the P. Falciparum intraerythrocytic development. Among the Cer analogues tested, those presenting a methylene linkage between the amino group of sphingosyl skeleton and a 12-14 carbon chain, exhibit the best inhibitory activity with IC50s of 17-30 nM. Parasite SM synthase and sphingomyelinase (SMase) do not seem to be the target of these analogues. SM analogues of R-sphingosylphosphorylcholine type also inhibit the parasite development with IC50 of 0. 3 æm for the best (analogue with a thiourea linkage). These inhibitors seem to act by inhibiting the parasite SMase. In parallel, we characterized the putative gene of the P. Falciparum SMase. Beyond their chemotherapeutic potential, these analogues constitute useful tools to explore the role(s) of sphingolipid metabolism and its importance for P. Falciparum

Full textMalaria continues to be one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the developing countries. The development of the resistance against the available antimalarial drugs and scarcity of effective vaccines have demanded the urgent need of finding new antimalarial targets. The severe form of malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum, which manifests a complex life cycle involving various morphologically and functionally distinct forms within two different hosts - human and Anopheles mosquitoes. In order to thrive in two distinctive host’s environment, these parasites employ different mechanisms to regulate their tightly coordinated gene expression. This thesis project is focused on exploring the regulation, which is mediated by guanine-rich DNA secondary structures, predominantly G-quadruplexes. These structures are found in wide range of organisms and are involved in gene regulation such as transcription, DNA replication and telomeric maintenance. Recently, they are also found to be involved in the process of virulence to evade the host’s immune response in numerous pathogens such as bacteria, protozoa and viruses. In Plasmodium, the G-quadruplex forming motifs are found to be enriched in the telomeric and sub-telomeric regions, where the virulence genes are present. The G4 existence in these AT biased genome points towards their role in the mechanism of gene regulation and antigenic variation. However, there is a lack of experimental evidence to support this hypothesis. The aim of this project is to provide the first comprehensive survey of the G4-interactome in order to understand the role of G4-mediated regulatory mechanisms in Plasmodium biology. Using a combination of unbiased approaches (Yeast one-hybrid and DNA pull-down assay), we have identified ~152 putative G4 interacting proteins in Plasmodium falciparum. The orthologs of some of these proteins were shown to interact with G4s, thus strengthening our results. Furthermore, to understand how these candidates contribute to G4 mediated regulatory processes, we have selected and characterized two proteins (GBP2 and DNAJ) to perform functional studies following validation of their binding properties. These proteins are shown to play an important role in Plasmodium biology. In this study, we have found that the GBP2 is a dispensable protein that interacts with the selected G4. Even though the deletion of the gene is not lethal to the parasites, it still affects the expression of var genes. Whereas putative DNAJ is an essential protein and its deletion results into the arrest of the parasites at the late stages of erythrocytic cycle. Collectively, this study sheds light on this understudied DNA structure based regulatory mechanism and provide the first systematic survey of the G4 interactome. Given their essential role in parasite development further characterization of obtained candidates will likely generate new targets for antimalarial drugs that will in the long term contribute to the eradication of the disease

Full textThere are growing concerns about the emergence of resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to all the antimalarial drugs currently available, including the artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). Monitoring the therapeutic efficacy of these drugs has become a public health priority. The methods for assessing the antimalarial drug resistance are complex, making their implementation within endemic countries difficult. Some endemic areas, which do not have the logistic and financial capacity to incorporate a routine surveillance, have limited information regarding the effectiveness of the given treatments. Increased travel is a major factor facilitating the spread of Plasmodium infections and resistance. However, travellers who return from endemic countries infected with malaria often present with low immunity against the parasites and there is no risk of re-infection. Thus, they could be used as a sentinel population to detect therapeutic failures due to resistance. Increased travel is a major factor facilitating the spread of Plasmodium infections and resistance. However, travellers who return from endemic countries infected with malaria often present with low immunity against the parasites and there is no risk of re-infection. Thus, they could be used as a sentinel population to detect therapeutic failures due to resistance. First, we investigate whether data on travellers returning from Africa with malaria could serve as an additional surveillance system for the emergence of drug resistance in endemic-countries. Then, the value of this system is tested through two different applications: the detection of emergence of chloroquine-resistance in Haiti and the evolution of chloroquine-resistance following the changes of treatment policy in Africa. Our study confirms the valuable source of information coming from travellers’ surveillance as an additional system for tracking resistance in endemic countries and facilitating an appropriate response by health policy makers

Full textThis thesis aimed to characterize the P. falciparum parasites infecting pregnant women and causing pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM). In the first part of this work, cytoadherence phenotype and var genes expression profile of pregnant women parasites have been investigated on parasite isolates collected in two studies conducted in Benin between 2008 and 2013. The first study on isolates collected as part of a cohort study of pregnant women in rural areas in Benin, showed that parasites which infect women in the first trimester of pregnancy already express placental phenotype. In a second study on isolates collected prospectively from pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in health centers in Cotonou, the analysis of the adhesion phenotype using multiple host receptors described so far confirmed the first results and highlighted a greater complexity of the binding properties in isolates collected during the first trimester and those obtained from multigravidae. This study also demonstrated that beyond parasitaemia, adhesion to CSA is a major factor for poor pregnancy outcomes. Consistent with previous reports, studies in Benin showed that var2csa was the most transcribed var gene by PAM-isolates and its surface expression on infected erythrocyte (IE) was demonstrated with specific antibodies. This was closely linked to the ability of isolates to adhere to CSA in vitro. The second part of the work investigated the vaccine potency of VAR2CSA by exploring the region of var2csa involved in the acquisition of anti-adhesion antibodies. Using a DNA immunization approach performed in mice, we were able to identify the var2csa minimal region located in its N-terminus as the site that concentrates the anti-adhesion epitopes. The NTS-DBL2X region of VAR2CSA has been found to induce cross-reactive antibodies that inhibit adhesion of more than 60% of field P. falciparum isolates to CSPG. This study highlighted some strain-specific properties in functionality of the antibodies induced and helped formulate a hypothesis of antigenic FCR3 and 3D7 variants combination for optimal activity on field isolates. The last part of this work focused on the analysis of sequence polymorphism in the N-terminal part of VAR2CSA expressed by field isolates. The analysis demonstrated the existence of a dimorphic region within the structurally critical ID1 domain that revealed a very interesting association with the occurrence of infections with very high parasite density. The work developed in this thesis updates knowledge on parasites infecting women during pregnancy and formulates hypotheses on the molecular optimization tracks necessary for the development of an effective VAR2CSA-based vaccine
