Abstract

Malaria-infected erythrocytes acquired New Permeability Pathways (NPPs) to meet the needs in nutrients and disposal of waste products of the intraerythocytic parasite development. The NPPs have been intensively studied for their putative interest as therapeutic targets for malaria treatment. Over the past 10 years, many electrophysiological studies have identified novel ion conductances (reflecting a part of the NPPs activities) in the host plasma membrane of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes. In this article, we review the electrophysiological/biophysical properties of the malaria-induced outwardly rectifying anion conductance and compare this conductance to the other anion conductances and permeabilities already described in the literature.

疟疾感染红细胞的外正性阴离子和有机渗透细胞电导率:神话还是现实?

疟疾感染的红细胞获得了新的渗透性通路(NPPs)，以满足红细胞内寄生虫发育对营养和废物处理的需要。人们对npp进行了深入研究，因为它们被认为有兴趣作为疟疾治疗的治疗靶点。在过去的10年里，许多电生理研究已经发现了恶性疟原虫感染红细胞的宿主质膜中新的离子电导(反映了部分NPPs活性)。在本文中，我们回顾了疟疾诱导的向外整流阴离子电导率的电生理/生物物理特性，并将其与文献中描述的其他阴离子电导率和渗透性进行了比较。
