Afatinib Reduces STAT6 Signaling of Host ARPE-19 Cells Infected with <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>

Abstract: Specific gene expressions of host cells by spontaneous STAT6 phosphorylation are major strategy for the survival of intracellular Toxoplasma gondii against parasiticidal events through STAT1 phosphorylation by infection provoked IFN-γ. We determined the effects of small molecules of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) on the growth of T. gondii and on the relationship with STAT1 and STAT6 phosphorylation in ARPE-19 cells. We counted the number of T. gondii RH tachyzoites per parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PV… Show more

“…where S 0 is the total number of unique substrates in the database; K i is the number of substrates of kinase i; n is the number of ROP18 substrates detected in the database; and m is the number of common targets between ROP18 and kinase i. In Vitro Infection-Cells were infected by tachyzoites of RH strain, as described previously (35) with slight modifications. Briefly, cells were plated in 12-well plates 24 h before infection.…”

“…ROP2 family of rhoptry proteins (ROPs) has a very important role in creating the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM) within the host cells during this process. Some of these ROPs, and especially ROP16, have kinase domains in their C-terminal halves, which may function in signal transduction across the PVM as a protein kinase (PK) to maintain the host cell-parasite relationship and may be candidate targets for new drugs [ 4 ].…”

“…Numerous TKs have been identified as oncogenes in various tumors, so a strict regulation of their catalytic activity is an absolute requirement. They have also been implicated in various diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, atherosclerosis, psoriasis [ 7 ], and infections [ 4 ].…”
