The deep-seated infections caused by the genus are associated with a high mortality rate, and is the most frequent species associated with these diseases. The fungal wall is composed of macromolecules not synthesized by the host, and therefore is a source of ligands recognized by innate immune cells.
We performed a comparative study analyzing the cell wall composition and organization of , , and , along with their ability to stimulate cytokine production and phagocytosis by human innate immune cells.
We found that the wall of these species had the basic components already described in , with most of the chitin and b1,3-glucan located underneath the mannan layer. However, the walls of and were rich in chitin and the former had a lower content of mannans. contained changes in the mannan and the b1,3-glucan levels. These species were differentially phagocytosed by human macrophages and stimulated cytokine production in a dectin-1-dependent pathway. showed the most significant changes in the tested parameters, whereas behaved like .
Our results suggest that the cell wall and innate immune recognition of , , , and is different from that reported for .
该属引起的深部感染与高死亡率相关,且是与这些疾病相关的最常见物种。真菌细胞壁由宿主无法合成的大分子组成,因此是天然免疫细胞识别的配体来源。
我们进行了一项比较研究,分析了[具体物种1]、[具体物种2]和[具体物种3]的细胞壁组成和结构,以及它们刺激人类天然免疫细胞产生细胞因子和吞噬作用的能力。
我们发现这些物种的细胞壁具有已在[参考物种]中描述的基本成分,大多数几丁质和β1,3 -葡聚糖位于甘露聚糖层之下。然而,[具体物种1]和[具体物种2]的细胞壁富含几丁质,且前者的甘露聚糖含量较低。[具体物种3]的甘露聚糖和β1,3 -葡聚糖水平发生了变化。这些物种被人类巨噬细胞以不同方式吞噬,并通过依赖于dectin - 1的途径刺激细胞因子产生。[具体物种3]在测试参数中显示出最显著的变化,而[具体物种2]的表现与[参考物种]相似。
我们的结果表明,[具体物种1]、[具体物种2]、[具体物种3]和[参考物种]的细胞壁及天然免疫识别与所报道的[参考物种]不同。
