The innate immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus.
Despite the development of new treatments, the mortality due to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis remains above 50%, reaching 95% in certain situations. The battle against Aspergillus fumigatus involves several components of the pulmonary innate immune system: cells, mediators, and natural antifungal molecules involved in the recognition and elimination of the fungus, thereby preventing coloniza...
متن کاملMetastamir-mediated immune evasion
Metastases are responsible for more than 90% of cancer-related deaths. We have recently reported that miR-10b inhibits the expression of MICB, a stress-induced ligand of the activating natural killer (NK)-cell receptor NKG2D. Here, we discuss our findings, which link metastasis formation to immune evasion.
متن کاملHypoxia attenuates anti-Aspergillus fumigatus immune responses initiated by human dendritic cells.
Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic mould that causes invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), a life-threatening infection in immunocompromised patients. During the course of IPA, localised areas of tissue hypoxia occur. Bacterial infection models revealed that hypoxic microenvironments modulate the function of host immune cells. However, the influence of hypoxia on anti-fungal immunity h...
متن کاملPlenary paper Aspergillus fumigatus suppresses the human cellular immune response via gliotoxin-mediated apoptosis of monocytes
Aspergillus fumigatus (AF) is a ubiquitous mold and is the most common cause of invasive aspergillosis, an important source of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts. Using cytokine flow cytometry, we assessed the magnitude of functional CD4 and CD8 T-cell responses following stimulation with Aspergillus antigens. Relative to those seen with cytomegalovirus (CMV) or superantigen sti...
متن کاملDynamic Immune Cell Recruitment After Murine Pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus Infection under Different Immunosuppressive Regimens
Humans are continuously exposed to airborne spores of the saprophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. However, in healthy individuals pulmonary host defense mechanisms efficiently eliminate the fungus. In contrast, A. fumigatus causes devastating infections in immunocompromised patients. Host immune responses against A. fumigatus lung infections in immunocompromised conditions have remained large...
