Secretory Aspartyl Proteinases Cause Vaginitis and Can Mediate Vaginitis Caused by Candida albicans in Mice
UNLABELLED Vaginal inflammation (vaginitis) is the most common disease caused by the human-pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Secretory aspartyl proteinases (Sap) are major virulence traits of C. albicans that have been suggested to play a role in vaginitis. To dissect the mechanisms by which Sap play this role, Sap2, a dominantly expressed member of the Sap family and a putative constituent o...
متن کاملEvaluation of Candida Vaginitis Epidemic Caused by Candida Albicans in Women of Kazerun City

متن کاملCandida vaginitis.
Candida vaginitis Other than the dermatophytic mycoses, Candida vaginitis is the most common fungal disease in the United Kingdom, described by Morton and Rashid (1977) as a near epidemic. Almost all the known facts about it are enumerative or descriptive and little is known of the factors affecting the pathogenesis, recrudescence, or recurrence of the mycosis. The facts do not disclose the psy...
متن کاملIn vivo induction of neutrophil chemotaxis by secretory aspartyl proteinases of Candida albicans
Secretory aspartyl proteinases (Saps) of Candida albicans are key virulence traits which cause inflammasome-dependent, aseptic inflammation in a mouse model of vaginitis. In this paper, neutrophil migration in response to Sap2, Sap6 and chemo-attractive products released from Sap-treated vaginal epithelium was measured in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo. Our results show that Sap2 and Sap6 induce ne...
متن کاملEffects of beta-glucan in a mice model of vaginitis by candida albicans
Methods Fifty four Balb/C mice of 7 to 10 weeks old under influence of estrogen were inoculated with 5x10 stationaryphase blastoconidia of C. albicans, intravaginally. The mice were divided in three groups, treated with glucan vaginally (5mg/mL) and intraperitoneally (1mg/mL), and the control group that received saline, intraperitoneally. Vaginal lavage was obtained on days 2, 5, 8 e 10 after i...
