Leishmania amazonensis amastigotes invade non-phagocytic cells via highly localized parasite-induced actin remodeling.

Thamires Queiroz-Oliveira, Laura Valéria Rios-Barros, Anna Luiza Silva-Moreira, Isadora Santos-Brasil, Julyanna Oliveira Castro, Juliana Almeida‐Silva, Marcos André Vannier-Santos, Jane Lima-Santos, Maria Fátima Horta, Thiago Castro‐Gomes

This study shows Leishmania amazonensis amastigotes invade non-phagocytic cells through localized actin remodeling and Rho GTPase-driven processes, distinct from promastigote mechanisms.

Unveiling Leishmania invasion of fibroblasts: calcium signaling, lysosome recruitment and exocytosis culminate with actin-independent invasion.

Victor Soares Cavalcante-Costa, Mariana Costa-Reginaldo, Thamires Queiroz-Oliveira, Anny Carolline Silva Oliveira, Natália Fernanda Couto, Danielle Oliveira dos Anjos, Jane Lima-Santos, Luciana de Oliveira Andrade, Maria Fátima Horta, Thiago Castro-Gomes

This study shows Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes invade fibroblasts via a calcium-dependent lysosomal exocytosis and endocytosis mechanism independent of actin cytoskeleton.
