Identification and pharmacological induction of autophagy in the larval stages of Echinococcus granulosus: An active catabolic process in calcareous corpuscles
2014, International Journal for ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :They might serve either the focal deposition of excessive amounts of calcium, protecting larvae against calcification, as reservoirs of carbonate and phosphate, or as excretory dumps. Our experiments with arsenic trioxide also demonstrated that calcareous corpuscles are ion accumulation sites, suggesting a possible role in heavy metal bioaccumulation and detoxification, similar to that described for other biomineralised cells or granules rich in calcium, phosphate and magnesium (Kegley et al., 1970; Sures et al., 1997). Understanding the functional context of autophagy is important for parasitic helminths, since it can either be a constitutive homeostatic process, a stress-induced cellular survival mechanism, or a stress-induced mechanism tied to cell death, depending on the particular context in which the process occurs.
