摘要

Cytoadhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) is associated with severe malaria. It has been postulated that parasite binding could exacerbate microvascular coagulation and endothelial dysfunction in cerebral malaria by impairing the protein C-EPCR interaction, but the extent of binding inhibition has not been fully determined. Here we expressed the cysteine rich interdomain region (CIDRα1) domain from a variety of DC8 and DC13 P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane 1 (PfEMP1) proteins and show they interact in a distinct manner with EPCR resulting in weak, moderate, and strong inhibition of the APC-EPCR interaction. Overall, there was a positive correlat... More
