Pathogenic CD8+ T cells in experimental cerebral malaria

Abstract: Cerebral malaria (CM) is one the major complications occurring during malaria infection. The mechanisms leading to this syndrome are still not completely understood. Although it is clear that parasite sequestration is the key initiation factor, the downstream pathological processes are still highly debated. The experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) model, in which susceptible mice are infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA, has led to the identification of CD8(+) T cells as the major mediator of ECM death.

“…CD8 + T cells have been shown to play a major role in promoting death in ECM (16), and Gln metabolism is critical for the differentiation, proliferation, and function of effector T cells. Thus, we determined the effect of DON treatment on T cells in the brains of infected mice.…”

“…The development of ECM has been shown to be dependent on degranulation and perforin release of CD8 + T cells that accumulate in the brains of PbA-infected mice (16). Degranulation of CD8 + T cells results in the expression of CD107 on their plasma membranes.…”

“…T cells have been shown to accumulate in the brain and to contribute to endothelial injury and death associated with ECM (54). PbA-infected miR-155 -/-mice had decreased GZMA mRNA (a tryptase contained in cytotoxic CD8 + T cells that induces cell death) levels in the brain.…”
