Infection-Induced Extracellular Vesicles Evoke Neuronal Transcriptional and Epigenetic Changes

E. Tedford, N. B. Badya, C. Laing, N. Asaoka, S. Kaneko, B. M. Filippi, G. A. McConkey

This study shows that Toxoplasma-induced neuronal extracellular vesicles reduce DBH expression and induce DNA methylation changes in host cells.

Downregulation of the central noradrenergic system by Toxoplasma gondii infection

I. Alsaady, E. Tedford, M. Alsaad, G. Bristow, S. Kohli, M. Murray, M. Reeves, M. S. Vijayabaskar, S. J. Clapcote, J. Wastling, G. A. McConkey

This study shows that Toxoplasma gondii infection suppresses the noradrenergic system by downregulating DBH, leading to decreased norepinephrine and increased dopamine in infected animals and cells.
