The Paradox of a Phagosomal Lifestyle: How Innate Host Cell-Leishmania amazonensis Interactions Lead to a Progressive Chronic Disease

Matheus B. Carneiro, Nathan C. Peters

Summary: This review focuses on the interaction between Leishmania amazonensis infection and host innate immune response, particularly addressing the impact of adaptive immunity on phagocytic host cell recruitment and activation. Experimental observations indicate that most mouse strains are susceptible to L. amazonensis infection, unlike other Leishmania species. The CD4(+) T helper (Th)1/Th2 paradigm does not fully explain the chronic disease established by L. amazonensis, with recent findings complicating the understanding of the Th1/Th2 paradigm.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of exogenously added trans, trans-farnesol on the proliferation ability of Leishmania amazonensis. The results showed that trans, trans-farnesol inhibited the cell cycle and proliferation of L. amazonensis without causing DNA fragmentation or loss of mitochondrial functionality. Additionally, the study identified the presence of alpha-farnesene and beta-farnesene in the lipid secretome of the parasite and identified the farnesene synthase gene responsible for their production.

Phenotypical Differences between Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis PH8 and LV79 Strains May Impact Survival in Mammal Host and in Phlebotomine Sand Flies

Fabia Tomie Tano, Erich Loza Telleria, Felipe Dutra Rego, Felipe Soares Coelho, Eloiza de Rezende, Rodrigo Pedro Soares, Yara Maria Traub-Cseko, Beatriz Simonsen Stolf

Summary: We found that L. amazonensis promastigotes and amastigotes of the PH8 strain were more virulent and showed different proteomes compared to LV79. PH8 promastigotes were more phagocytized by macrophages, and their membrane-enriched proteomes and LPG characteristics differed from LV79. PH8 promastigotes exhibited higher infectivity, complement resistance, and efficiency in infecting the permissive vector Lutzomyia longipalpis. These findings suggest that PH8 is better adapted to the sand fly and more likely to survive in the vertebrate host.

Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine as a New Antileishmanial Pharmacophore against Leishmania amazonensis Promastigotes and Amastigotes

Ravinder Kumar, Rahul Singh, Ayla das Chagas Almeida, Juliana da Trindade Granato, Ari Sergio de Oliveira Lemos, Kushvinder Kumar, Madhuri T. Patil, Adilson D. da Silva, Ambadas B. Rode, Elaine S. Coimbra, Deepak B. Salunke

Summary: Leishmania poses a substantial threat to the human population and the current drugs against it have limitations. Developing new drugs is crucial, and a library of imidazo-fused heterocycles was synthesized and screened. Compound 24 showed the strongest antileishmanial activity, with selectivity for a stage related to human disease. It was also more destructive to the parasites than host cells. These findings support the potential of imidazo-pyrimidine as a new antileishmanial pharmacophore and encourage further animal studies.

Summary: A significant amount of exogenous cholesterol is found in Leishmania promastigotes and amastigotes, and the absence of exogenous cholesterol enhances the replication of the parasite in infected macrophages. Understanding cholesterol transport can guide the development of new drugs for the treatment of leishmaniases.

DC-SIGN Mediates the Interaction Between Neutrophils and Leishmania amazonensis-Infected Dendritic Cells to Promote DC Maturation and Parasite Elimination

Rafael Tiburcio, Leon Dimitri Melo, Sara Nunes, Ana Luisa Augusto Barbosa, Elaine Carvalho de Oliveira, Martha Suarez, Valeria M. Borges, Natalia Tavares, Claudia Ida Brodskyn

Summary: This study focused on the interaction between PMNs and infected DCs in an in vitro model of Leishmania amazonensis infection. It was found that infected DCs showed lower infection rates when co-cultured with resting or activated PMNs. The release of neutrophil enzymes was not involved in parasite killing, and the interaction between PMNs and infected DCs was mediated by DC-SIGN. This study highlights the importance of direct contact between PMNs and infected DCs via DC-SIGN for the production of inflammatory mediators and subsequent parasite elimination.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 utilizes its S protein to rapidly enter cells, sliding quickly with the flat sialic acid-binding domain in the N-terminal domain interacting with the epithelial layer, and entering via the ACE-2 receptor. The binding between viral RBD and ACE-2 may be optimal, and protein enzymes can accelerate cell entry by SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: This study tracked the emergence of mutations in SARS-CoV-2 proteins globally and in six model countries, revealing that since October 2020, frequent mutations have been observed mainly in ORF7b and ORF8. Interestingly, no high-frequency mutations were found in the UK, India, and Brazil, which does not correlate with the virus's transmission in these countries.

Summary: The European Medicines Agency has approved four different types of COVID-19 vaccines, which play an important role in preventing COVID-19. However, in some individuals, adverse reactions such as thrombosis with associated thrombocytopenia may occur. These events may be related to interactions between viral proteins and receptors, viral vector interactions with antibodies, and individual immune mechanisms, especially requiring validation in risk groups.

Summary: COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, which has a fatality rate below 1%. Accessory proteins of SARS-CoV-2, including ORF3a, ORF6, ORF7a, ORF7b, ORF8, and ORF10, have potential functions in manipulating host immune mechanisms and are crucial in COVID-19 pathology. Variations in these accessory proteins have been observed across different continents, with ORF3a showing the highest level of unique variations.
