Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Plasmodium species results in upregulation of the host heme oxygenase-1 pathway. In tuberculosis infection, this leads to upregulation of the bacterial "dormancy regulon," whereas in malaria, it enhances the efficiency with which sporozoites develop into exoerythrocytic stages. Here we discuss these findings as well as some of the interesting questions they raise.
结核分枝杆菌和疟原虫感染会导致宿主血红素加氧酶-1途径上调。在结核感染中,这会导致细菌“休眠调节子”上调,而在疟疾中,它会提高子孢子发育为细胞外期的效率。在此,我们讨论这些发现以及它们引发的一些有趣问题。
