Tóm tắt

AbstractIn population-based studies it has been established that inherited deficiency of erythrocyte (E) glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) confers protection against severe Plasmodium falciparum (P falciparum) malaria. Impaired growth of parasites in G6PD-deficient E in vitro has been reported in some studies, but not in others. In a systematic analysis, we have found that with five different strains ofP falciparum (FCR-3, KI, C10, HB3B, and T9/96), there was no significant difference in either invasion or maturation when the parasites were grown in either normal or G6PD-deficient (Mediterranean variant) E. With all of these strains and at different maturation stages, we were unable to detect any difference in the amount of P falciparum–specific G6PD mRNA in normal versus deficient parasitized E. The rate of 14C-CO2 production from D-[1-14C] glucose (which closely reflects intracellular activity of G6PD) contributed by the parasite was very similar in intact normal and deficient E. By contrast, in studies of phagocytosis of parasitized E by human adherent monocytes, we found that when the parasites were at the ring stage (ring-stage parasitized E [RPE]), deficient RPE were phagocytosed 2.3 times more intensely than normal RPE (P = .001), whereas there was no difference when the parasites were at the more mature trophozoite stage (trophozoite-stage parasitized E [TPE]). Phagocytic removal markers (autologous IgG and complement C3 fragments) were significantly higher in deficient RPE than in normal RPE, while they were very similar in normal and deficient TPE. The level of reduced glutathione was remarkably lower in deficient RPE compared with normal RPE. We conclude that impaired antioxidant defense in deficient RPE may be responsible for membrane damage followed by phagocytosis. Because RPE, unlike TPE, are nontoxic to phagocytes, the increased removal by phagocytosis of RPE would reduce maturation to TPE and to schizonts and may be a highly efficient mechanism of malaria resistance in deficient subjects.
