Résumé

Host lipid alterations are centrally involved in Leishmania donovani infection, and infected patients exhibit hypocholesterolemia. In this issue of Cell Host amp Microbe, Ghosh et al. (2013) show that the metalloprotease GP63 released by L. donovani in the liver cleaves DICER1, inhibiting miR-122 maturation, which regulates cholesterol metabolism. These events decrease serum cholesterol and promote parasite growth.
