Oral epithelium–Candida glabrata interactions in vitro

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection and Candida glabrata is the second or third most frequently isolated species from oropharyngeal candidiasis lesions, after Candida albicans. The aim of this study was to study the cytokine-inducing and cell-damaging potential of C. glabrata in oral epithelial cells and compare this to C. albicans. METHODS: Oral epithelial cell lines and primary gingival epithelial cells were cocultured with C. glabrata strains GDH2269 and 94-11 or C. albicans strains SC5314 and ATCC28366. Supernatants were analysed for the presence of interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha), IL-8 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cytotoxity of different strains was determined using the CytoTox-96 assay. RESULTS: Compared to C. albicans, C. glabrata induced different proinflammatory cytokine responses in oral epithelial cells; a high level of GM-CSF induction was only detected in C. glabrata-infected cells and not in C. albicans-infected cells, regardless of the origin of these cells (cell lines or primary cells) or the strain used. Like C. albicans, C. glabrata induced an IL-1alpha response by oral epithelial cells, but this response was both strain-dependent and epithelial cell origin-dependent. Unlike C. albicans, C. glabrata failed to induce a strong IL-8 response in any of the cell systems studied. Finally, in these studies C. glabrata showed lower cytotoxicity than C. albicans. CONCLUSIONS: C. glabrata is less cytotoxic than C. albicans and induces different proinflammatory cytokine responses in oral epithelial cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
