Journal ArticleDOI

Translational control of the innate immune response through IRF-7

TL;DR: It is shown that translational control is critical for induction of type-I IFN production in mouse embryonic fibroblasts lacking the translational repressors 4E-BP1 and 4 E-BP2, and the role of4E-BPs as negative regulators oftype-IIFN production, via translational repression of Irf7 mRNA is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leishmania Repression of Host Translation through mTOR Cleavage Is Required for Parasite Survival and Infection

TL;DR: It is shown that the Leishmania protease GP63 cleaves the mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase that regulates the translational repressor 4E-BP1, which serves as major targets for host translational control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemozoin Induces Macrophage Chemokine Expression through Oxidative Stress-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms underlying HZ-inducible macrophage (Mφ) chemokine mRNA expression are investigated to better understand the molecular mechanisms through which parasite components, such as HZ, modulate the immune response during malaria infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemozoin-inducible proinflammatory events in vivo: potential role in malaria infection.

TL;DR: The results showed that sHZ is a strong modulator of leukocyte recruitment and more specifically of neutrophil and monocyte populations, which could contribute to the immunopathology related to malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemozoin Increases IFN-γ-Inducible Macrophage Nitric Oxide Generation Through Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase- and NF-κB-Dependent Pathways

TL;DR: It is suggested that hemozoin exerts a potent synergistic effect on the IFN-γ-inducible NO generation in Mφ via ERK- and NF-κB-dependent pathways.
