The Role of Dectin-2 for Host Defense Against Disseminated Candidiasis.
Despite the fact that Candida albicans is an important human fungal pathogen and Dectin-2 is a major pattern recognition receptor for fungi, our knowledge regarding the role of Dectin-2 for the host defense against disseminated candidiasis is limited. Dectin-2 deficient (Dectin-2(-/-)) mice were more susceptible to systemic candidiasis, and the susceptibility was mirrored by an elevated fungal ...
متن کاملThe role of toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 in the host defense against disseminated candidiasis.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) represent the main class of pattern-recognition receptors involved in sensing pathogenic microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to assess the role of TLR4 in the defense against Candida albicans infection. The outgrowth of C. albicans was 10-fold higher in TLR4-defective C3H/HeJ mice, compared with that in control C3H/HeN mice (P<.05). Production of tumor ne...
متن کاملRole of Dectin-2 for Host Defense against Systemic Infection with Candida glabrata
Although Candida glabrata is an important pathogenic Candida species, relatively little is known about its innate immune recognition. Here, we explore the potential role of Dectin-2 for host defense against C. glabrata. Dectin-2-deficient (Dectin-2(-/-)) mice were found to be more susceptible to C. glabrata infections, showing a defective fungal clearance in kidneys but not in the liver. The in...
متن کاملHost defense against oropharyngeal and vaginal candidiasis: Site-specific differences.
Mucosal candidiasis is extremely common in immunocompromised patients. However, the prevalence of site-specific infection (i.e., oropharyngeal, vaginal, and esophageal candidiasis) can be quite variable depending on the immune status of the host. While vulvovaginal candidiasis is common in normal healthy women, oropharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis are more frequently encountered under immun...
متن کاملنقش رسپتورهای شناساگر الگو (PRR) در ابتلا به عفونت های کاندیدایی در انسان
Candida species are medically significant yeast that can cause different infection ranging from mild mucosal to disseminated infection. Invasive and sever mucosal infections are often life threatening disorders, especially in immunocompromised hosts due to immunodeficiency either in adaptive or innate immunity which are susceptible to candidiasis. Nevertheless, not all of them are susceptible t...
