Amoebiasis is a disease caused by the protozoan parasite, Entamoeba histolytica, with or without clinical symptoms . It has been suggested that pathogenic amoebae use three major virulence factors: Gal/GalNAc lectin, cysteine proteinases and amoebapores. However, these molecules cannot exclusively be responsible for amoebic virulence, because most of them are found in pathogenic E. histolytica as well as in non-pathogenic E. dispar, a not close correlation has been found in amoebic strains with different virulence phenotype. Due to the high genetic variability of E. histolytica isolates and strains, differential gene expression might simply reflect inter-isolate genetic variation rather than specific differences linked to virulence. In the current study, we obtained a non-virulent UG10 mutant derived from E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS. Comparing the transcriptome of both strains, no differences in gene expression of the classical virulence factors were observed. RAB family GTPase and AIG1 family members showed higher transcriptional levels in the virulent strain than in the non-virulent mutant. Our study suggests a number of novel gene products in E. histolytica with a role yet to determine in cell physiology and involvement in the pathogenesis process.
