P Elements

We have discovered, in an inbred line (Loua) of Drosophila melanogaster from Zaïre, a third chromosome showing unusual P element repression. Repression of P element transposition by this chromosome, named Loua3, is dominant zygotic and has three unusual properties. Firstly, its repression of the gonadal dysgenesis caused by a strong P haplotype is strongly temperature-dependent, being most evident at higher rearing temperatures. Secondly, subdivision of Loua3 by recombination abolishes repression: the effect is apparently a function of the intact chromosome. Finally, Loua3 also diminishes somatic lethality when chromosomes carrying many ‘ammunition’ elements (Birmingham2) are exposed to the constitutive transposase source Δ2-3(99B). The chromosome has 17 P elements, none full-length, located in at least 12 dispersed positions.

Microvascular Endothelial

In this study, we investigated the production of endothelin 1 (ET-1) by a human microvascular endothelial cell line, HMEC-1, co-cultured with Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized red blood cells (pRBCs). The results indicate that hypoxia increased the basal level of ET-1 production by HMEC-1 cells after 24 or 48h of treatment. However, the co-incubation of HMEC-1 cells with pRBCs, but not with uninfected RBCs, induced a dose-dependent decrease of both constitutive and hypoxia-induced ET-1 production. The inhibition was not due to a decrease in cell viability, as lactate dehydrogenase release remained constant. These results indicate that pRBCs are able to interfere with both the constitutive and stimulated ET-1 release from the microvascular endothelium, thus inducing local modifications of the vascular tone and of the inflammatory response. This could be of relevance in the pathogenesis of the most severe forms of P. falciparum infections, such as cerebral malaria or malaria during pregnancy.
