Neutrophil-mediated protection of cultured human vascular endothelial cells from damage by growing Candida albicans hyphae.
Interactions were studied between human neutrophils and cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells invaded by Candida albicans. In the absence of neutrophils, progressive Candida germination and hyphal growth extensively damaged endothelial cell monolayers over a period of 4 to 6 hours, as determined both by morphological changes and release of 51Cr from radiolabeled endothelial cells. Mon...
متن کاملCandida parapsilosis Protects Premature Intestinal Epithelial Cells from Invasion and Damage by Candida albicans
Candida is a leading cause of late-onset sepsis in premature infants and is thought to invade the host via immature or damaged epithelial barriers. We previously showed that the hyphal form of Candida albicans invades and causes damage to premature intestinal epithelial cells (pIECs), whereas the non-hyphal Candida parapsilosis, also a fungal pathogen of neonates, has less invasion and damage a...
متن کاملAdiponectin alleviate blood hypercoagulability via inhibiting endothelial cell apoptosis induced by oxidative stress in septic rats
Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to detect the protective effects of adiponectin on coagulation dysfunction and its mechanism in sepsis of rats.Materials and Methods: The experimental samples were composed of sham group, model group that was underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and three adiponectin treatment groups that treated by adiponectin with different dose (72 μg/kg, ...
متن کاملInhibition of endothelial cell proliferation by gamma-interferon
Endothelial cell growth factor (ECGF) is a potent polypeptide mitogen for endothelial cells and fibroblasts. The mitogenic effects of ECGF are inhibited by the lymphokine gamma-interferon (gamma-IFN) in a dose-dependent manner. Gamma-IFN also induces a unique change in endothelial cell morphology which is maximally expressed in the presence of ECGF. The antiproliferative and phenotypic modulato...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of Candida albicans by RNAi-treated Drosophila S2 cells.
Phagocytosis is a highly conserved aspect of innate immunity. Drosophila melanogaster has an innate immune system with many similarities to that of mammals and has been used to successfully model many aspects of innate immunity. The recent availability of Ribo Nucleic Acid interference (RNAi) libraries for Drosophila has made it possible to efficiently screen for genes important in aspects of i...
