Intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis following Cryptosporidium parvum infection.
Cryptosporidium parvum induces moderate levels of apoptosis of cultured human intestinal epithelial cells, which are maximal at 24 h after infection. Apoptosis is further increased in C. parvum-infected cells by inhibition of NF-kappaB. C. parvum infection also attenuates epithelial apoptosis induced by strongly proapoptotic agents. The data suggest C. parvum has developed strategies to limit a...
متن کاملAttachment of Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoites to human intestinal epithelial cells.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based attachment model using the human intestinal cell line Caco-2A was developed to study attachment of Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoites in vitro and to assess potential inhibitors of sporozoite binding. In this system, attachment was related to sporozoite dose, incubation time, and host cell differentiation status. Polyclonal antibodies to C. parvum as w...
متن کاملInhibition of apoptosis in Cryptosporidium parvum-infected intestinal epithelial cells is dependent on survivin.
Cryptosporidium parvum is an obligate intracellular protozoan capable of causing severe diarrheal disease in a wide variety of mammals, including humans. C. parvum infection has been associated with induction of apoptosis in exposed epithelial cells, and we now demonstrate that apoptosis is restricted to a subset of cells actively infected with C. parvum. Approximately 20% of the infected cells...
متن کاملNF-kappaB p65-Dependent Transactivation of miRNA Genes following Cryptosporidium parvum Infection Stimulates Epithelial Cell Immune Responses
Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite that infects the gastrointestinal epithelium and causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Innate epithelial immune responses are key mediators of the host's defense to C. parvum. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level and are involved in regulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Using an in vitro mode...
متن کاملIntact intestinal mRNAs and intestinal epithelial cell esterase, but not Cryptosporidium parvum, reach mesenteric lymph nodes of infected mice.
Dendritic cells from the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) contain dense esterase-positive inclusions that may originate in effete intestinal epithelial cells and reach MLN without degradation. The MLN esterases have the electrophoretic mobilities of both intestinal and mononuclear cells. Cryptosporidium parvum (CP)-infected mice have CP Ag-positive cells in MLN and also increased numbers of dense e...
