Summary

Gut homojen özler ve immünofloresan boyama kullanılarak bu çalışmada açıklanan ex vivo tsay GI sisteminde Candida albicans hiphal morfogenez incelemek için yeni bir yöntem temsil eder. Bu yöntem bağırsakta morfogenetik geçişi düzenleyen çevresel sinyalleri araştırmak için kullanılabilir.

Abstract

Candida albicans gastrointestinal hyphal morfogenez (GI) yolu sıkı çeşitli çevresel sinyaller tarafından kontrol edilir, ve bu fırsatçı mantar patojenin yayılması ve patogenezönemli önemli bir rol oynar. Ancak, in vivo GI sisteminde mantar hyphae görselleştirmek için yöntemler bu morfogenez sürecini kontrol çevresel sinyallerin anlaşılmasını sınırlar zordur. Burada açıklanan protokol, gut homojen özlerde hiphal morfogenezinin görselleştirilmesi için yeni bir ex vivo yöntemi göstermektedir. Bir ex vivo tsay kullanarak, Bu çalışma göstermiştir ki antibiyotik tedavi farelerden cecal içeriği, ancak tedavi edilmemiş kontrol fareler, bağırsak içeriğinde C. albicans hiphal morfogenezi teşvik. Ayrıca, antibiyotik tedavi farelerden sekal içeriğine bağırsak metabolitleri belirli gruplar geri ekleyerek farklı hiphal morfogenez ex vivo düzenler. Birlikte ele alındığında, bu protokol tanımlamak ve C. albicans hyphal morfogenez gi sisteminde kontrol çevresel sinyalleri araştırmak için yeni bir yöntem temsil eder.

Introduction

Candida albicans normalde kommensal bir fırsatçı, polimorfik mantar patojen, ancak bağışıklık tehlikeyebireylerdeyaşamı tehdit eden enfeksiyonlara neden yeteneğine sahip öldürücü bir forma morfolojik bir değişim geçirebilir 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13. C. albicans sistemik nosokomiyal enfeksiyonların önde gelen nedenidir, bir 40\u201260% mortalite oranı ile antifungal tedavi ile bile2,14,15. C. albicans kadın üreme sistemi16dahil olmak üzere farklı konak nişlerde ikamet rağmen16 ,17, sağlıklı bireylerin ağız boşluğu18 ve gastrointestinal (GI) yolu19,20, sistemik enfeksiyonların çoğunluğu GI sistemi ve dahası kaynaklanan, sistemik enfeksiyon kaynağı genellikle GI yolu olduğu doğrulanır21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34. C. albicans patojenite GI yolu faktörlerin geniş bir yelpazede etkilenir; ancak, virülans için gerekli önemli bir özelliği öldürücü bir hiphal hücre morfolojisi içine bir maya hücre morfolojisi geçiş35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44. C. albicans eki ve enfeksiyon sırasında GI sisteminden yayılması son derece öldürücü hyphae içine bir commensal maya geçiş kapasitesi ile ilişkilidir, mantar invaziv hastalığa neden sağlayan44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53.

Bağırsakta çeşitli faktörler, n-asetilglucosamine dahil, C. albicanstarafından hiphal oluşumunu düzenleyen. Bu nedenle, GI sisteminde bu mantar patojeninin hiphal morfogenezi ile ilgili bilgi açığını daraltmak çok önemlidir54,55,56. Son kanıtlar çeşitli bağırsak metabolitlerinin farklı olarak C. albicans in vitro57,58,59,60hipofna morfogenezini kontrol ettiğini göstermektedir. Ancak, teknik kısıtlamalar in vivo gut örneklerinde C. albicans hyphae oluşumunu incelemeye çalışırken sorunlar mevcut, özellikle maya ve hyphae hücreleri boyama ve hyplal gelişimi kantitatif analizi. Gi sisteminde C. albicans hyphal morfogenezi anlamak için, bir ex vivo yöntemi mantar hyphal morfogenez üzerinde metabolitlerin etkisini incelemek için farelerden homojenize bağırsak içeriğinin çözünür özleri kullanılarak geliştirilmiştir. C. albicans GI enfeksiyonuna dirençli ve duyarlı farelerden alınan bağırsak örneklerini kullanan bu yöntem, metabolitlerin, antibiyotiklerin ve ksenobiyotiklerin GI sistemindeki mantar lı hiphal morfogenezi üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeye ve incelemeye yardımcı olacaktır.
