 Apoptosis: a potential triggering mechanism of
neurological manifestation in Plasmodium
falciparum malaria
 Plasmodium falciparum infection can lead to a life threatening
disease and the pathogenetic mechanisms of severe manifestations
are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the capacity of P.
falciparum-parasitized red blood cells (PRBC) from 45 children
with clinical malaria to induce endothelial cell (EC) apoptosis.
 In all subjects, PRBC that cytoadhered to ECs could be found albeit
to a variable degree. By contrast, PRBC that induce EC apoptosis
were found only in nine (20%) subjects. Interestingly, children with
neurological manifestations were significantly more likely to
harbour apoptogenic strains. There was no quantitative relationship
between the capacity of these isolates to cytoadhere and apoptosis
induction. We hypothesize that P. falciparum-encoded molecules
could be responsible for apoptosis induction and therefore suggest
new insights in the pathogenesis of P. falciparum malaria. Further
investigations are currently in progress to determine whether these
results can be confirmed and to identify putative parasite
apoptogenic factors.
