Abstract
Intramuscular administration of wild-type baculovirus is able to both protect against Plasmodium sporozoite challenge and eliminate liver-stage parasites via a Toll-like receptor 9-independent pathway. To investigate its effector mechanism(s), the gene expression profile in the liver of baculovirus-administered mice was characterized by cDNA microarray analysis. The ingenuity pathway analysis gene ontology module revealed that the major gene subsets induced by baculovirus were immune-related signaling, such as interferon signaling. A total of 40 genes commonly upregulated in a Toll-like receptor 9-independent manner were included as possible candidates for parasite elimination. This gene subset consisted of NT5C3, LOC105246895, BTC, APOL9a/b, G3BP3, SLC6A6, USP25, TRIM14, and PSMB8 as the top 10 candidates according to the special unit. These findings provide new insight into effector molecules responsible for liver-stage parasite killing and, possibly, the development of a new baculovirus-mediated prophylactic and therapeutic biopharmaceutical for malaria.
期刊介绍:
Gene Expression, The Journal of Liver Research will publish articles in all aspects of hepatology. Hepatology, as a research discipline, has seen unprecedented growth especially in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of hepatic health and disease, which continues to have a major impact on understanding liver development, stem cells, carcinogenesis, tissue engineering, injury, repair, regeneration, immunology, metabolism, fibrosis, and transplantation. Continued research and improved understanding in these areas will have a meaningful impact on liver disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The existing journal Gene Expression has expanded its focus to become Gene Expression, The Journal of Liver Research to meet this growing demand. In its revised and expanded scope, the journal will publish high-impact original articles, reviews, short but complete articles, and special articles (editorials, commentaries, opinions) on all aspects of hepatology, making it a unique and invaluable resource for readers interested in this field. The expanded team, led by an Editor-in-Chief who is uniquely qualified and a renowned expert, along with a dynamic and functional editorial board, is determined to make this a premier journal in the field of hepatology.
