Paraquat-Mediated Oxidative Stress in Anopheles gambiae Mosquitoes Is Regulated by An Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress Response

Tarimo, Brian; Law, Henry; Tao, Dingyin; Pastrana-Mena, Rebecca; Kanzok, Stefan; Buza, Joram; Dinglasan, Rhoel (MDPI, 2018-11-12)

Paraquat is a potent superoxide (O2−)-inducing agent that is capable of inducing an oxidative imbalance in the mosquito midgut. This oxidative imbalance can super-stress the malaria parasite, leading to arrested development ...
Ribosomal/nucleolar stress induction regulates tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) mediated oxidative stress in Anopheles gambiae midguts.

Tarimo, Brian; Hritzo, Bernadette; Law, Henry; Tao, Dingyin; Pastrana-Mena, Rebecca; Kanzok, Stefan; Buza, Joram; Dinglasan, Rhoel (BMC Research Notes, 2019-03-29)

Objective: A fundamental understanding of redox homeostasis in Anopheles gambiae midgut cells under different oxidative conditions is missing. Such knowledge can aid in the development of new malaria transmission-blocki ...
