Live-imaging rate-of-kill compound profiling for Chagas disease drug discovery with a new automated high-content assay

Nina Svensen et al.

Summary: Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a highly neglected tropical disease with inadequate current treatments; recent failures in clinical trials have led to the development of new model systems to better understand the reasons for these failures. A new live-imaging RoK assay has been introduced for T. cruzi, offering high reproducibility and high time-resolution data for clinical compounds and new entities, allowing for prioritization of fast-acting compounds and tracking of individual parasites' fate, among other benefits.

DNA Topoisomerase 3α Is Involved in Homologous Recombination Repair and Replication Stress Response in Trypanosoma cruzi

Hellida Marina Costa-Silva et al.

Summary: DNA topoisomerases, in particular topoisomerase 3 alpha, play crucial roles in genomic maintenance, cell growth, and DNA damage response in Trypanosoma cruzi. Knockout of topoisomerase 3 alpha affects parasite growth, invasion rates, and ability to repair DNA damage induced by genotoxic agents. These findings underscore the importance of topoisomerase 3 alpha in homologous recombination repair and replication stress in T. cruzi.
