17-beta-estradiol upregulates the stress response in Candida albicans: implications for microbial virulence.
OBJECTIVE The influence of 17-beta-estradiol on the stress response of Candida albicans was studied. METHODS The survival of clinical isolates of C. albicans treated with 17-beta-estradiol after heat and oxidative stress was measured by viable plate counts. Cellular proteins were analyzed via SDS-PAGE. RESULTS The heat stress response induced by 17-beta-estradiol in C. albicans grown at 25 ...
متن کاملRole of retrograde trafficking in stress response, host cell interactions, and virulence of Candida albicans.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the vacuolar protein sorting complexes Vps51/52/53/54 and Vps15/30/34/38 are essential for efficient endosome-to-Golgi complex retrograde transport. Here we investigated the function of Vps15 and Vps51, representative members of these complexes, in the stress resistance, host cell interactions, and virulence of Candida albicans. We found that C. albicans vps15Δ/Δ an...
متن کاملMating and virulence of Candida albicans
Recently, it was demonstrated that Candida albicans contains mating type genes. Since that discovery, it has been demonstrated that the majority of strains contain both a and genes, that a minority are homozygous for a or and can undergo fusion, and that the cytological stages of fusion and zygote development are similar to the stages of mating in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, it has recen...
متن کاملRequirement for Candida albicans Sun41 in biofilm formation and virulence.
The cell wall of Candida albicans lies at the crossroads of pathogenicity and therapeutics. It contributes to pathogenicity through adherence and invasion; it is the target of both chemical and immunological antifungal strategies. We have initiated a dissection of cell wall function through targeted insertional mutagenesis of cell wall-related genes. Among 25 such genes, we were unable to gener...
متن کاملMucins Suppress Virulence Traits of Candida albicans
UNLABELLED Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal pathogen of humans, causing a variety of diseases ranging from superficial mucosal infections to deep-seated systemic invasions. Mucus, the gel that coats all wet epithelial surfaces, accommodates C. albicans as part of the normal microbiota, where C. albicans resides asymptomatically in healthy humans. Through a series of in vitro experi...
