Rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells with uninfected red blood cells enhances microvascular obstruction under flow conditions.
The occurrence of rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected human red blood cells (IRBC) with uninfected red blood cells (RBC) and its potential pathophysiologic consequences were investigated under flow conditions using the perfused rat mesocecum vasculature. Perfusion experiments were performed using two knobby (K+) lines of P falciparum, ie, rosetting positive (K+R+) and rosetting negative...
متن کاملIlluminating Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells.
The malaria parasite undergoes a remarkable series of morphological transformations, which underpin its life in both human and mosquito hosts. The advent of molecular transfection technology coupled with the ability to introduce fluorescent reporter proteins that faithfully track and expose the activities of parasite proteins has revolutionized our view of parasite cell biology. The greatest in...
متن کاملAlteration in cytoadherence and rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected thalassemic red blood cells.
Hemoglobinopathies have a protective role in malaria that appears to be related to alterations in red blood cell (RBC) properties. Thalassemic RBCs infected with Plasmodium falciparum showed greatly reduced cytoadherence and rosetting properties as well as impaired growth and multiplication. A significant decrease in the levels of falciparum antigens associated with the membrane of infected bet...
متن کاملThe Homeostasis of Plasmodium falciparum-Infected Red Blood Cells
The asexual reproduction cycle of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for severe malaria, occurs within red blood cells. A merozoite invades a red cell in the circulation, develops and multiplies, and after about 48 hours ruptures the host cell, releasing 15-32 merozoites ready to invade new red blood cells. During this cycle, the parasite increases the host cell permeability so muc...
متن کاملDeformability limits of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells
Splenic filtration of infected red blood cells (RBCs) may contribute to innate immunity and variable outcomes of malaria infections. We show that filterability of individual RBCs is well predicted by the minimum cylindrical diameter (MCD) which is calculated from a RBC's surface area and volume. The MCD describes the smallest diameter tube or smallest pore that a cell may fit through without in...
