| Description |
Pentavalent antimony complexes, such as sodium stibogluconate and sodium antimony gluconate (SAG), are still the first choice for chemotherapy against various forms of leishmaniasis, including visceral leishmaniasis, or
kala-azar. Although the requirement of a somewhat functional immune system for the antileishmanial action of
antimony was reported previously, the cellular and molecular mechanism of action of SAG was not clear. Herein,
we show that SAG induces extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK-1) and ERK-2 phosphorylation through
phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase C, and Ras activation and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase
(MAPK) phosphorylation through PI3K and Akt activation. ERK-1 and ERK-2 activation results in an increase in
the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) 3 to 6 h after SAG treatment, while p38 MAPK activation and
subsequent tumor necrosis factor alpha release result in the production of nitric oxide (NO) 24 h after SAG
treatment. Thus, this study has provided the first evidence that SAG treatment induces activation of some important
components of the intracellular signaling pathway, which results in an early wave of ROS-dependent parasite killing
and a stronger late wave of NO-dependent parasite killing. This opens up the possibility of this metalloid chelate
being used in the treatment of various diseases either alone or in combination with other drugs and vaccines.
