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 کاملTranscriptional responses of candida albicans to epithelial and endothelial cells.
Candida albicans interacts with oral epithelial cells during oropharyngeal candidiasis and with vascular endothelial cells when it disseminates hematogenously. We set out to identify C. albicans genes that govern interactions with these host cells in vitro. The transcriptional response of C. albicans to the FaDu oral epithelial cell line and primary endothelial cells was determined by microarra...
متن کاملIn vitro damage of Candida albicans biofilms by chitosan
With the increasing usage of indwelling medical devices in clinical practice, the frequency of fungal infections has increased, such as that of Candida albicans (C. albicans). Biofilms, a protected niche for microorganisms, are resistant to a range of current antifungal agents. Chitosan is a polyatomic biopolymer with advantageous biocompatibility, biodegradation, nontoxicity and antibacterial ...
متن کاملCalcification by Candida albicans.
Candida albicans was grown in a chamically defined medium in which certain microorganisms are known to calcify. The fungus developed calcium phosphate deposits with the same X-ray diffraction maxima as biological apatite.
