High plasma levels of histidine-rich protein II (HRPII), a secreted malaria protein, are associated with severe malaria, but the mechanism of HRPII virulence is not fully established. We observed that secreted HRPII in parasite culture and plasma forms large heme-laden nanoparticles. The virulence of HRPII is tied to its delivery of hundreds of hemes to endothelial cells, leading to iron toxicity and production of reactive oxygen species, and subsequently activating the NLRP3 inflammasome. This cascade disrupts endothelial barrier integrity. These data define the link between HRPII and cerebral edema, a hallmark of cerebral malaria. Disruption of this process by heme sequestration or inflammasome inhibition mitigated the effects of HRPII and may guide further studies into clinical therapies for severe malaria. Histidine-rich protein II (HRPII) is secreted by Plasmodium falciparum during the blood stage of malaria infection. High plasma levels of HRPII are associated with cerebral malaria, a severe and highly fatal complication of malaria. HRPII has been shown to induce vascular leakage, the hallmark of cerebral malaria, in blood–brain barrier (BBB) and animal models. We have discovered an important mechanism for BBB disruption that is driven by unique features of HRPII. By characterizing serum from infected patients and HRPII produced by P. falciparum parasites in culture, we found that HRPII exists in large multimeric particles of 14 polypeptides that are richly laden with up to 700 hemes per particle. Heme loading of HRPII is required for efficient binding and internalization via caveolin-mediated endocytosis in hCMEC/D3 cerebral microvascular endothelial cells. Upon acidification of endolysosomes, two-thirds of the hemes are released from acid-labile binding sites and metabolized by heme oxygenase 1, generating ferric iron and reactive oxygen species. Subsequent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β secretion resulted in endothelial leakage. Inhibition of these pathways with heme sequestration, iron chelation, or anti-inflammatory drugs protected the integrity of the BBB culture model from HRPII:heme. Increased cerebral vascular permeability was seen after injection of young mice with heme-loaded HRPII (HRPII:heme) but not with heme-depleted HRPII. We propose that during severe malaria infection, HRPII:heme nanoparticles in the bloodstream deliver an overwhelming iron load to endothelial cells to cause vascular inflammation and edema. Disrupting this process is an opportunity for targeted adjunctive therapies to reduce the morbidity and mortality of cerebral malaria.
