Co-ordinated stage-dependent enhancement of Plasmodium falciparum antioxidant enzymes and heat shock protein expression in parasites growing in oxidatively stressed or G6PD-deficient red blood cells

Oscar Akide-Ndunge, Elisa Tambini, Giuliana Giribaldi, Paul J McMillan, Sylke Müller, Paolo Arese, Francesco Turrini Malaria Journal 2009, 8:113 (29 May 2009)

A study of the expression of antioxidant enzymes and heat shock proteins of infected red blood cells under normal and oxidative conditions. Exogenous oxidative stress or cultivation of parasites in G6PD-deficient RBCs resulted in enhanced transcription and expression of all genes tested. The outstanding finding of this investigation is that the expression of Hsps was redox-responsive.
