Mouse spleen expression profile after systemic Candida glabrata infection
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Pleiotropic type I interferons (IFNs-I) fulfil multiple protective functions during infectious diseases, but can also exert detrimental effects for the host leading to immunopathology. Here, we report that IFNs-I promote the dysregulation of Fe homeostasis in macrophage populations and in the spleen during systemic infections with the intracellular pathogen Candida glabrata, leading to fungal survival and persistence. By using microarray expression profiling with RNA isolated from mouse spleens upon systemic Candida glabrata infection and subsequent in vitro interaction experiments we show that IFN-I signaling induces global transcriptional downregulation of key players in Fe homeostasis and profoundly alters Fe transport mechanisms within macrophages.
