Intestinal Epithelial Cell Apoptosis following<i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i>Infection
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium parvum induces moderate levels of apoptosis of cultured human intestinal epithelial cells, which are maximal at 24 h after infection. Apoptosis is further increased in C. parvum-infected cells by inhibition of NF-kappaB. C. parvum infection also attenuates epithelial apoptosis induced by strongly proapoptotic agents. The data suggest C. parvum has developed strategies to limit apoptosis in order...
