While most studies have focused on single triazole-susceptible (WT) or TRAF infections, reports of TRAF cases developing mixed WT and TRAF infections have been described in several studies. However, the prevalence of mixed infections and their responses to current recommended therapies are unknown and could be inappropriate, leading to poor clinical outcomes. To address the urgent need for tools to diagnose, monitor disease development and therapy efficacies in mixed infection settings where quantification of WT versus TRAF is key, this study developed a novel qPCR assay to differentiate WT and TRAF harboring the <i>cyp51A</i>-TR<sub>34</sub>/L98H mutation. The proposed assay successfully quantified <i>A. fumigatus</i> and discriminated TRAF-TR<sub>34</sub> in vitro and in vivo, which was achieved by increasing the yield of extracted DNA through improved homogenization and specific primers targeting the WT-sequence or TR<sub>34</sub>-insertion and a TaqMan-probe directed to <i>A. fumigatus</i>. The here-developed qPCR assay overcomes sensitivity issues of methodologies such as CFU counts, providing specific, reproducible, and reliable quantitative information to study and follow up the (interplay and individual) effects of mixed <i>A. fumigatus</i> infections on disease development and treatment responses.</p>","PeriodicalId":520671,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9696238/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40477729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each orthologue was found interacting with the other and two white collar proteins (WC1 and WC2), which proved to be regulators of two photolyases (Phr1 and Phr2) and individually more efficient in the photorepair of UVB-induced DNA lesions than either photolyase alone. The fungal photoreactivation activity was more or far more compromised when the protein-protein interactions were abolished in the absence of Rad1 or Rad10 than when either Phr1 or Phr2 lost function. The detected protein-protein interactions suggest direct links of either Rad1 or Rad10 to two photolyase regulators.

In-house drug susceptibility tests (i.e., broth dilution, disc diffusion, and radial growth assays) have been established, some of which adapted the standard protocols (i.e., CLSI M38-A2 and CLSI M51) designed for fungi. Hyphal plug, hyphal suspension, and zoospore are inocula commonly used in the drug susceptibility assessment for <i>P. insidiosum</i>. A side-by-side comparison demonstrated that each method had advantages and limitations. Minimum inhibitory and cidal concentrations of a drug varied depending on the selected method. Material availability, user experience, and organism and drug quantities determined which susceptibility assay should be used. We employed the hyphal plug and a combination of broth dilution and radial growth methods to screen and validate the anti-<i>P. insidiosum</i> activities of several previously reported chemicals, including potassium iodide, triamcinolone acetonide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethanol, in which data on their anti-<i>P. insidiosum</i> efficacy are limited.

However, the interaction between hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) with fungal pathogens such as <i>Histoplasma capsulatum</i> has not been studied. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine if the interaction of HSPCs with <i>H. capsulatum</i> yeasts affects the hematopoiesis, activation, or proliferation of these cells. The results indicate that HSPCs are able to adhere to and internalize <i>H. capsulatum</i> yeasts through a mechanism dependent on TLR2, TLR4, and Dectin-1; however, this process does not affect the survival of the fungus, and, on the contrary, such interaction induces a significant increase in the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α, and TGF-β, as well as the immune mediators Arg-1 and iNOS. Moreover, <i>H. capsulatum</i> induces apoptosis and alters HSPC proliferation. These findings suggest that <i>H. capsulatum</i> directly modulates the immune response exerted by HPSC through PRRs, and this interaction could directly affect the process of hematopoiesis, a fact that could explain clinical manifestations such as anemia and pancytopenia in patients with severe histoplasmosis, especially in those with fungal spread to the bone marrow.</p>","PeriodicalId":520671,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9604687/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40661424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
