Host cell invasion mediated by Trypanosoma cruzi surface molecule gp82 is associated with F-actin disassembly and is inhibited by enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-05-01)The target cell F-actin disassembly, induced by a Ca2+-signaling Trypanosoma cruzi factor of unknown molecular identity, 2 has been reported to promote parasite invasion. We investigated whether the metacyclic trypomastigote ...

Inhibition of Host Cell Lysosome Spreading by Trypanosoma cruzi Metacyclic Stage-Specific Surface Molecule gp90 Downregulates Parasite Invasion
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2017)Successful infection by Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, is critically dependent on host cell invasion by metacyclic trypomastigote (MT) forms. Two main metacyclic stage-specific surface molecules, gp82 and ...

Interactions between Trypanosoma cruzi Secreted Proteins and Host Cell Signaling Pathways
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2016)Chagas disease is one of the prevalent neglected tropical diseases, affecting at least 6-7 million individuals in Latin America. It is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to vertebrate ...

Rac1/WAVE2 and Cdc42/N-WASP Participation in Actin-Dependent Host Cell Invasion by Extracellular Amastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2018)This study evaluated the participation of host cell Rho-family GTPases and their effector proteins in the actin-dependent invasion by Trypanosoma cruzi extracellular amastigotes (EAs). We observed that all proteins were ...
