Show abstract
Plasmodium parasites, the causative agents of malaria, are transmitted at high levels in endemic areas and sequential infections are common. Using a mouse model of infection we discovered liver burden was suppressed in blood-stage experienced, compared to naive, animals, independently of adaptive responses and inflammation. We observed greater chromatin accessibility of a subset of interferon stimulated genes in blood-stage experienced animals, and a rapid increase in transcription of these genes upon sporozoite challenge. Ex vivo stimulation of hepatocytes from blood-stage experienced mice also led to a rapid and elevated response upon treatment with an unrelated antigen, ctDNA. Taken together, these data are consistent with a model in which hepatocytes are reprogramed by blood stage Plasmodium infection to exhibit trained memory akin to what has been described in innate immune cells. The consequences of training of hepatocytes could be wide-reaching and might alter responses to diverse pathogens and other stimuli.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
