    Congenital toxoplasmosis (TC) from Toxoplasma gondii positive mother to child transmission results in fetal death, abortion, or infantile neurologic and neurocognitive deficits as well as chorioretinitis. This study aims to analyze the morphological changes in brain and skeletal muscle cells of Swiss mouse embryos during experimental congenital toxoplasmosis. Swiss mice, before mating, were gavage inoculation infected with approximately 25 or 50 cysts of ME‐49 strain T. gondii. Eighteen day postcoitus maternal and embryonic muscle and brain samples were collected and processed for histopathological analysis. The muscle tissue from embryos of infected mothers, in comparison with healthy muscle myofibers, exhibited discontinuous and shorter myofibrils, more interfibrillar space and immature cells with fewer stained and poorly defined striated profiles. These in vivo findings might be related to an adhesion protein decrease, observed in vitro, where myogenesis was completely affected during Toxoplasma infection. The neurogenesis was severely affected with irregularly arranged cells, reduced cell density, and a significant intercellular space increase. The brain tissue presented ischemia, cell death, necrosis, and thrombi, increasing according to the degree of the acute infection, which compromised the neurogenesis, thereby justifying brain size decrease in these embryos

    Toxoplasma gondii Tissue Cyst: Cyst Wall Incorporation Activity and Matrix Cytoskeleton Proteins Paving the Way to Nutrient Acquisition

    Get PDF
    Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that causes chronic infection by the development of bradyzoites housed in tissue cysts, preferably in the muscles and central nervous system. The composition and the function of the cyst wall are still not fully understood. Are T. gondii cysts able to incorporate nutrients through its wall? If so, how would these nutrients be traversed to cross the cyst matrix to reach the bradyzoite forms? Herein, we tested the uptake capacity of the Toxoplasma tissue cyst wall by employing some fluid-phase endocytosis tracers as peroxidase (HRP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Fluorescence images revealed these molecules on the cyst wall as well as in the cyst matrix. The subcellular localization of the tracer was confirmed by ultrastructural analysis showing numerous labeled vesicles and tubules distributed within the cyst matrix in close association with intracystic bradyzoite membrane, suggesting the cyst wall as a route of nutrient uptake. Furthermore, we confirmed the presence of cytoskeleton proteins, such as tubulin, actin, and myosin, in the tissue cyst matrix that may explain the nutrient input mechanism through the cyst wall. A better understanding of the nutrient acquisition process by the cyst might potentially contribute to the development of new therapeutic targets against chronic toxoplasmosis

    The composition of a Brazilian green propolis ethanolic extract (Et-Bra) and its effect on Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes and other pathogenic microorganisms have already been reported. Here, we further investigated Et-Bra targets in T. cruzi and its effect on experimental infection of mice. The IC50/4 days for inhibition of amastigote proliferation was 8.5 ± 1.8 Όg mL−1, with no damage to the host cells. In epimastigotes Et-Bra induced alterations in reservosomes, Golgi complex and mitochondrion. These effects were confirmed by flow cytometry analysis. In trypomastigotes, Et-Bra led to the loss of plasma membrane integrity. The in vitro studies indicate that Et-Bra interferes in the functionality of the plasma membrane in trypomastigotes and of reservosomes and mitochondrion in epimastigotes. Acutely infected mice were treated orally with Et-Bra and the parasitemia, mortality and GPT, GOT, CK and urea levels were monitored. The extract (25–300 mg kg−1 body weight/day for 10 days) reduced the parasitemia, although not at significant levels; increased the survival of the animals and did not induce any hepatic, muscular lesion or renal toxicity. Since Et-Bra was not toxic to the animals, it could be assayed in combination with other drugs. Et-Bra could be a potential metacyclogenesis blocker, considering its effect on reservosomes, which are an important energy source during parasite differentiation

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Toxoplasma gondii </it>belongs to a large and diverse group of obligate intracellular parasitic protozoa. Primary culture of mice skeletal muscle cells (SkMC) was employed as a model for experimental toxoplasmosis studies. The myogenesis of SkMC was reproduced <it>in vitro </it>and the ability of <it>T. gondii </it>tachyzoite forms to infect myoblasts and myotubes and its influence on SkMC myogenesis were analyzed.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In this study we show that, after 24 h of interaction, myoblasts (61%) were more infected with <it>T. gondii </it>than myotubes (38%) and inhibition of myogenesis was about 75%. The role of adhesion molecules such as cadherin in this event was investigated. First, we demonstrate that cadherin localization was restricted to the contact areas between myocytes/myocytes and myocytes/myotubes during the myogenesis process. Immunofluorescence and immunoblotting analysis of parasite-host cell interaction showed a 54% reduction in cadherin expression at 24 h of infection. Concomitantly, a reduction in M-cadherin mRNA levels was observed after 3 and 24 h of <it>T. gondii-</it>host cell interaction.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>These data suggest that <it>T. gondii </it>is able to down regulate M-cadherin expression, leading to molecular modifications in the host cell surface that interfere with membrane fusion and consequently affect the myogenesis process.</p

    Development of Schizont Stages of <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em> in Primary Cell Culture of Feline Enterocytes

    Get PDF
    Intestinal epithelial cell cultures are a potentially applicable model for investigating enteropathogens such as the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, the etiological agent of toxoplasmosis. Felids such as domestic cats are the only known definitive hosts where the parasite undergoes sexual reproduction, which occurs in the enterocytes. Primary feline intestinal epithelial cell (FIEC) cultures were obtained from the fetal small gut of felines, and the epithelial nature of these cells was confirmed by the revelation of cytokeratin and intestinal alkaline phosphatase content by fluorescence microscopy, besides alignment, microvilli, and adherent intercellular junctions by ultrastructural analysis. FIECs infected with T. gondii bradyzoite forms showed that the parasite:cell ratio was determinant for establishing the lytic cycle and cystogenesis and the induction of schizont-like forms. Type C and D schizonts were identified by light and electron microscopies, which showed morphological characteristics like those previously described based on the analysis of cat intestines experimentally infected with T. gondii. These data indicate that FIECs simulate the microenvironment of the felid intestine, allowing the development of schizogony and classic endopolygeny. This cellular framework opens new perspectives for the in vitro investigation of biological and molecular aspects involved in the T. gondii enteric cycle

    Establishment of a murine model of congenital toxoplasmosis and validation of a qPCR assay to assess the parasite load in maternal and fetal tissues

    Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, a disease that affects warm-blooded animals and one third of the human population worldwide. Pregnant women who have never been exposed to the parasite constitute an important risk group, as infection during pregnancy often leads to congenital toxoplasmosis, the most severe form of the disease. Current therapy for toxoplasmosis is the same as it was 50 years ago and has little or no effect when vertical transmission occurs. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new strategies to prevent mother-to-fetus transmission. The implementation of experimental animal models of congenital toxoplasmosis that reproduces the transmission rates and clinical signs in humans opens an avenue of possibilities to interfere in the progression of the disease. In addition, knowing the parasite load in maternal and fetal tissues after infection, which may be related to organ abnormalities and disease outcome, is another important step in designing a promising intervention strategy. Therefore, we implemented here a murine model of congenital toxoplasmosis with outbred Swiss Webster mice infected intravenously with tachyzoites of the ME49 strain of T. gondii that mimics the frequency of transmission of the parasite, as well as important clinical signs of human congenital toxoplasmosis, such as macrocephaly, in addition to providing a highly sensitive quantitative real-time PCR assay to assess parasite load in mouse tissues. As the disease is not restricted to humans, also affecting several domestic animals, including companion animals and livestock, they can also benefit from the model presented in this study

    Complete Inactivation of Sebum-Producing Genes Parallels the Loss of Sebaceous Glands in Cetacea

    Publisher's version (Ăștgefin grein)Genomes are dynamic biological units, with processes of gene duplication and loss triggering evolutionary novelty. The mammalian skin provides a remarkable case study on the occurrence of adaptive morphological innovations. Skin sebaceous glands (SGs), for instance, emerged in the ancestor of mammals serving pivotal roles, such as lubrication, waterproofing, immunity, and thermoregulation, through the secretion of sebum, a complex mixture of various neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol, free fatty acids, wax esters, cholesterol, and squalene. Remarkably, SGs are absent in a few mammalian lineages, including the iconic Cetacea. We investigated the evolution of the key molecular components responsible for skin sebum production: Dgat2l6, Awat1, Awat2, Elovl3, Mogat3, and Fabp9. We show that all analyzed genes have been rendered nonfunctional in Cetacea species (toothed and baleen whales). Transcriptomic analysis, including a novel skin transcriptome from blue whale, supports gene inactivation. The conserved mutational pattern found in most analyzed genes, indicates that pseudogenization events took place prior to the diversification of modern Cetacea lineages. Genome and skin transcriptome analysis of the common hippopotamus highlighted the convergent loss of a subset of sebum-producing genes, notably Awat1 and Mogat3. Partial loss profiles were also detected in non-Cetacea aquatic mammals, such as the Florida manatee, and in terrestrial mammals displaying specialized skin phenotypes such as the African elephant, white rhinoceros and pig. Our findings reveal a unique landscape of “gene vestiges” in the Cetacea sebum-producing compartment, with limited gene loss observed in other mammalian lineages: suggestive of specific adaptations or specializations of skin lipids.This work was supported by Project No. 031342 cofinanced by COMPETE 2020, Portugal 2020 and the European Union through the ERDF, and by Fundacža~o para a Cie^ncia e a Tecnologia through national funds.
