Parasites of the genus Leishmania are able to secure their survival and propagation within their host by altering key signalling pathways involved in the ability of macrophages (MØs) to directly kill pathogens or to activate cells of the adaptive immune system. One important step in this immune evasion process is the Leishmania-induced activation of host protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1. SHP-1 has been shown to directly inactivate JAK2 and Erk1/2, and to play a role in the negative regulation of several transcription factors involved in MØ activation such as: NF-B, STAT-1α, and AP-1. These signalling alterations contribute to the inactivation of critical MØ functions such as the production of IFN-γ-induced nitric oxi...
