Project description:Invasive candidiasis, mainly caused by Candida albicans, is a serious healthcare problem with high mortality rates, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Innate immune cells express pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) including C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs) that bind C. albicans to initiate an immune response. Multiple CLRs including Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle have been proposed individually to contribute to the immune response to C. albicans. However how these receptors collaborate to clear a fungal infection is unknown. Herein, we used novel multi-CLR knockout (KO) mice to decipher the individual, collaborative and collective roles of Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle during systemic C. albicans infection. These studies revealed an unappreciated and profound role for CLR co-operation in anti-fungal immunity. The protective effect of multiple CLRs was markedly greater than any single receptor, and was mediated through inflammatory monocytes via recognition and phagocytosis of C. albicans, and production of C. albicans-induced cytokines and chemokines. These CLRs were dispensable for mediating similar responses from neutrophils, likely due to lower expression of these CLRs on neutrophils compared to inflammatory monocytes. Concurrent deletion of Dectin-1 and Dectin-2, or all three CLRs, resulted in dramatically increased susceptibility to systemic C. albicans infection compared to mice lacking a single CLR. Multi-CLR KO mice were unable to control fungal growth due to an inadequate early inflammatory monocyte-mediated response. In response to excessive fungal growth, the multi-CLR KO mice mounted a hyper-inflammatory response, likely leading to multiple organ failure. Thus, these data reveal a critical role for CLR co-operation in the effective control of C. albicans and maintenance of organ function during infection.

Project description:We perform microarray analysis of HUVECs upon stimulation with virulent wildtype C. albicans strain SC5314 or its efg1/efg1 cph1/cph1 hyphal-deficient derivative strain CAN34 to compare the gene expression profiles elicited from HUVECs in response to these strains. In addition, these responses are compared to that of TNF-alpha induced responses to determine which responses are Candida-specific. Experiment Overall Design: HUVECs are co-cultured for 3 or 8 hours in M199 medium alone or with CAN34, SC5314, or TNF-alpha. Total RNA is isolated, cRNA is synthesized and labeled, and labeled cRNA is hybridized onto Affymetrix chips. Each Candida and TNF sample is compared to its corresponding medium alone sample to determine fold changes in expression at each time point.

Project description:Single-celled organisms have different strategies to sense and utilize nutrients in their ever-changing environments. The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a common member of the human microbiota, especially that of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. An important question concerns how C. albicans gained a competitive advantage over other microbes to become a successful commensal and opportunistic pathogen. Here, we report that C. albicans uses N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), an abundant carbon source present in the GI tract, as a signal for nutrient availability. When placed in water, C. albicans cells normally enter the G0 phase and remain viable for weeks. However, they quickly lose viability when cultured in water containing only GlcNAc. We term this phenomenon GlcNAc-induced cell death (GICD). GlcNAc triggers the upregulation of ribosomalbiogenesis genes, alterations of mitochondrial metabolism, and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), followed by rapid cell death via both apoptotic and necrotic mechanisms. Multiple pathways, including the conserved cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling and GlcNAc catabolic pathways, are involved in GICD. GlcNAc acts as a signaling molecule to regulate multiple cellular programs in a coordinated manner and therefore maximizes the efficiency of nutrient use. This adaptive behavior allows C. albicans’ more efficient colonization of the gut. Expression profiles of Candida alibcans in three different 5 hours) were determined by high throughput sequencing technology.

Project description:Azole resistance and varying degrees of cross-resistance to other members of the azole family in clinical isolates have been documented, which has necessitated additional and prolonged use of the antifungal agents available. 2-Amino-Nonyl-6-Methoxyl-Tetralin Muriate (10b), a novel chemical structural aminotetralin derivate, is synthesized as an antifungal agent and exibited strong antifungal activity. To further investigated the action mechanism, we used microarray analysis to investigate the genes expression profiles of C. albicans cells treated or untreated with 10b and found 957 genes were differentially expressed. Of them,457 showed a decrease in expression and 500 showed an increase in expression. 33 down-regulated genes were involved in glycolysis (e.g., PFK1, CDC19 and HXK2), fermentation (e.g., PDC11, ALD5 and ADH1) and respiratory electron transport chain (e.g., CBP3, COR1 and QCR8). 30 differentially expressed genes were found to relate to biofilm formation, filamentous or hyphal growth. It was noticed that striking up-regulation of SFL1 and marked down-regulation of YWP1 directly related to prevent C. albicans from changing its morphology from the yeast form to the hyphal. Two genes related to specifically hydrolyzing beta-1, 3 glucan (e.g., XOG1) and chitin (e.g., CHT1) were significantly increased. 40 overexpressed genes and 15 down-regulated genes were related to the lipid metabolic process. Of them, Eight were directly linked to ergosterol biosynthesis, including ERG2, ERG6 and ERG11. 99 genes related to translation were down-regulated following exposure to 10b, which account for 21.66% in down-regulated genes. This suggested that translation might be lower in SC5314 cells exposed to 10b than in control. Total RNA from the control SC5314 cells and 10b-treated SC5314 cells were used to generate target cDNA, and then hybridized to 8k Candida albicans Genome Array Genechips, representing about 7925 characterized Candida albicans genes. Two independent experiments were conducted. Reference strain was control SC5314 cells and test strain was SC5314 cells treated with 10b.

Project description:This study assessed the development of disseminated candidiasis within Galleria mellonella larvae and characterised the proteomic responses of Candida albicans to larval hemolymph. Infection of larvae with an inoculum of 1 × 106 yeast cell reduced larval viability 24 (53.33 ± 3.33%), 48 (33.33 ± 3.33%) and 72 (6.66 ± 3.33%) hour post infection. C. albicans infection quickly disseminated from the site of inoculation and the presence of yeast and hyphal forms were found in nodules extracted from infected larvae at 6 and 24 hours. A range of proteins secreted during infection of G. mellonella were detected in larval hemolymph and these were enriched for biological processes such as interaction with host and pathogenesis. The candicidal activity of hemolymph after immediate incubation of yeast cells resulted in a decrease in yeast cell viability (0.23 ± 0.03 × 106, p < 0.05) as compared to control (0.99 ± 0.01 × 106). extracellular (in vivo) proteome of C. albicans in larval hemolymph were assessed. C. albicans responds to incubation in hemolymph ex vivo by the induction of an oxidative stress response, a decrease in proteins associated with protein synthesis and an increase in glycolytic proteins.

Project description:Candida albicans is an important human fungal pathogen in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. In response to environmental stimuli, C. albicans regulates complex phenotypic transitions between morphological states, mating competence, and biofilm formation. In addition, other processes related to virulence, stress resistance, and cell wall structure are also highly regulated. Based on the phenotypes of mutants lacking different kinases, it is clear that protein phosphorylation plays an important role in the regulation of these pathways. Here, we present a qualitative analysis of the phosphoproteome of C. albicans hyphae. We identified 19,590 unique peptides that corresponded to 15,906 unique phosphosites on 2,896 proteins. The ratios of serine, threonine and tyrosine phosphosites were 80.01%, 18.11%, and 1.81%, respectively. The majority of proteins (2,111) contained at least two detected phosphorylation sites. Consistent with findings in other fungi, cytoskeletal proteins were among the most highly phosphorylated proteins, and there were differences in GO terms for proteins with serine and threonine versus tyrosine phosphorylation sites. This large-scale analysis identified phosphosites in protein components of Mediator, an important transcriptional co-regulatory protein complex. In vitro studies revealed Cdk8 (Ssn3), a kinase within the Mediator complex, was sufficient to catalyze a subset of these phosphorylations suggesting the potential for autoregulation. These data represent the deepest single analysis of a fungal phosphoproteome, and will lay the groundwork for future analyses of the C. albicans phosphoproteome and specific phosphoproteins.

Project description:In a whole-transcriptome study, cellular responses of DCs confronted with the fungi A. fumigatus, C. albicans or the bacterial cell wall component LPS were investigated. Therefore DCs of four independent donors were harvested after 6 and 12 hours co-culture with A. fumigatus, C. albicans and LPS and analyzed with Affymetrix whole genome expression arrays. In general, transcriptomic analysis revealed a clustering of the A. fumigatus and C. albicans stimulated DCs. However, LPS and fungi-dependent gene expression showed more common similarities compared to the untreated control. Stimulation with LPS induced a differential regulation of 2793 and 2863 genes after 6 /12h, while confrontation with A. fumigatus and C. albicans resulted in 743/1076 and 1729/974 differentially regulated genes, respectively. Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) was identified as the only transcription factor that was down-regulated in DCs by both fungi but induced by stimulation with LPS. Human DCs were generated from 4 independent, healthy blood donors. moDCs were either left untreated or co-cultivated with Aspergillus fumigatus 46645 germ tubes or Candida albicans SC5314 (MOI1) and or LPS (1µg/ml) for 6h.
