http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/15710456http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Cells infected by Toxoplasma gondii undergo up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines, organelle redistribution, and protection from apoptosis. During infection in man, the parasite encysts within the retina, a process that results in retinochoroiditis which can lead to permanent loss of sight. The reasons for the parasite to infect retinal tissue and the mechanisms by which it encysts are not clearly understood. We studied the effect of infection with T. gondii of retinal vascular endothelial cells using the Clontech Atlastrade mark array system in order to elucidate changes in gene expression. We compared hybridization of RNA to the array from infected and uninfected cells at two time points; 2 and 24 h. Exposure to T. gondii after 2 h resulted in change of expression of approximately 6% of genes on the array, including those involved in cell structure, protein and vesicle trafficking, cell-cycle regulation, transcriptional and translational machinery, and apoptosis. Among the genes involved in the inflammatory response, chemokine genes such as GRO1 (Growth Regulated Oncogene 1), MCP-1 (Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1), FKN (Fractalkine) and RANTES (Regulated upon Activation, Normal T Cell Expressed and Secreted) were found to be up-regulated and protein production was confirmed by ELISA. However after 24 h of infection, GRO1, MCP-1 and FKN were down-regulated, confirmed by RT-PCR. Thus, invasion of retinal vascular endothelium (RVE) cells by T. gondii leads to the production of chemokines important in directing the traffic of inflammatory cells to the infected area."xsd:string
