Lysosomotropism depends on glucose: a chloroquine resistance mechanism
There has been long-standing interest in targeting pro-survival autophagy as a combinational cancer therapeutic strategy. Clinical trials are in progress testing chloroquine (CQ) or its derivatives in combination with chemo- or radiotherapy for solid and haematological cancers. Although CQ has shown efficacy in preclinical models, its mechanism of action remains equivocal. Here, we tested how e...
متن کاملOn the Mechanism of Chloroquine Resistance in Plasmodium falciparum
Resistance to chloroquine of malaria strains is known to be associated with a parasite protein named PfCRT, the mutated form of which is able to reduce chloroquine accumulation in the digestive vacuole of the pathogen. Whether the protein mediates extrusion of the drug acting as a channel or as a carrier and which is the protonation state of its chloroquine substrate is the subject of a scienti...
متن کاملChloroquine resistance in malaria: a deficiency of chloroquine binding.
Chloroquine-(14)C was used to study the processes which concentrate chloroquine in mouse red blood cells infected with chloroquine-sensitive or with chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium berghei. The initial rates of uptake and exchange of chloroquine-(14)C were both too fast to measure, yet large concentration gradients were maintained by the cells. When red blood cells were exposed to 10(-8)M chlo...
متن کاملChloroquine resistance in malaria.
Malaria continues to pose a challenge in view of its resurgence and problem of drug resistance. The chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum was first detected in Thailand in 1962(1) and in India in 1973(2). The extent of problem of chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum is increasing every year. Chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum has already been found in twelve different states and Union...
متن کاملMalaria: Dissecting chloroquine resistance
The malaria parasite's development of resistance to the drug chloroquine is a major threat to world health. A protein likely to be involved in chloroquine resistance has recently been identified; this discovery is important, but raises as many questions as it answers.
