Metabolomic Profile of BALB/c Macrophages Infected with Leishmania amazonensis: Deciphering L-Arginine Metabolism

, 2019
Background: Leishmaniases are neglected tropical diseases that are caused by Leishmania, being endemic worldwide. L-arginine is an essential amino acid that is required for polyamines production on mammal cells. During Leishmania infection of macrophages,

Extracellular Vesicles Released by Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis Promote Disease Progression and Induce the Production of Different Cytokines in Macrophages and B-1 Cells

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by Leishmania can contribute to the establishment of infection and host immunomodulation. In this study, we characterized the shedding of EVs from Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigotes.

CD100/Sema4D Increases Macrophage Infection by Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis in a CD72 Dependent Manner

, 2018
Leishmaniasis is caused by trypanosomatid protozoa of the genus Leishmania, which infect preferentially macrophages. The disease affects 12 million people worldwide, who may present cutaneous, mucocutaneous or visceral forms.

BALB/c mice deficient in CD4(+) T cell IL-4R alpha expression control Leishmania mexicana load although female but not male mice develop a healer phenotype [PDF]

, 2011
Immunologically intact BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania mexicana develop non-healing progressively growing lesions associated with a biased Th2 response while similarly infected IL-4R alpha-deficient mice fail to develop lesions and develop a robust ...

Role of B-1 cells in the infection by Leishmania (L.) amazonensis

, 2016
Parasitos do gênero Leishmania causam um espectro de doenças chamadas de leishmaniose. Para compreender de melhor forma a imunobiologia da Leishmania, o estudo de outras células envolvidas no processo de infecção do parasito se torna importante.
