However, the importance of Hsps in field isolates is not well explored. Hsp90 inhibition by geldanamycin in laboratory cultures has been demonstrated to be a successful method to inhibit parasite growth and a derivative of this drug is in phase III clinical trials as a tumor inhibitor. The information that exists about the roles of parasite chaperones in infected patients is limited to the antigenic nature of parasite chaperone Hsp70-I. These insights however, have been gleaned from studies on laboratory cultures of the parasite. Previous studies suggest that the parasite relies on its repertoire of Hsps, PfHsp90 in particular, to establish and grow during heat shock. Survival and proliferation of the parasite under such heat stress conditions has triggered interest in examining parasite Hsps. Periodic fever is a hallmark of malaria exposing parasites to temperatures as high as 43☌ in the patient. Plasmodium falciparum causes cerebral malaria and 1-2 million deaths annually. Hsps are known antigens and many pathogen-encoded Hsp60s and Hsp70s are vaccine candidates. The pathogen which encounters a change in pH, temperature, degrading enzymes and ROS, up-regulates its heat shock protein (Hsp) repertoire post infection. Infection by intracellular pathogens is stressful for both the host as well as the pathogen. In all, this study demonstrates an intimate involvement of parasite-encoded chaperones, PfHsp90 in particular, in defining pathogenesis of malaria. In addition, cluster 2 also shows up-regulation of Plasmodium export element (PEXEL)-containing Hsp40s thought to have regulatory and host remodeling roles in the infected erythrocyte. Detailed analysis of chaperone expression in the patient cluster 2 reveals up-regulation of the entire Hsp90-dependent pro-survival circuitries. Interestingly, cytoplasmic Hsp90 and its co-chaperones, previously implicated as drug targets in malaria, cluster in the same group. While cluster 1 parasites, representing a starvation response, show up-regulation of organellar chaperones, cluster 2 parasites, which resemble active growth based on glycolysis, show up-regulation of cytoplasmic chaperones. Further, expression profiles of the chaperones from different cellular compartments correlate with specific patient clusters. Molecular chaperones show distinct profiles in the previously defined physiologically distinct states. MethodsĬhaperone networks operational in the distinct physiological clusters in clinical malaria parasites were constructed using cytoscape by utilizing their clinical expression profiles. A recent study has demonstrated that clinical isolates of the parasite have distinct physiological states, one of which resembles environmental stress response showing up-regulation of specific molecular chaperones. Re-coupling of network modules during and after stress.Molecular chaperones have been shown to be important in the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and inhibition of chaperone function by pharmacological agents has been shown to abrogate parasite growth.
