Abstract

Pyroptosis is an inflammasome-mediated programmed cell death pathway triggered in macrophages by a variety of stimuli, including intracellular bacterial pathogens. Activation of pyroptosis leads to the secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and pore-mediated cell lysis. Although not considered an intracellular pathogen, Candida albicans is able to kill and, thereby, escape from macrophages. Here, we show that C. albicans-infected bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and murine J774 macrophages undergo pyroptotic cell death that is suppressed by glycine and pharmacologic inhibition of caspase-1. Infection of BMDM harvested from mice lacking components of the inflammasome revealed that pyroptosis was dependent on caspase-1, ASC, and NLRP3 and independent of NLRC4. In contrast to its role during intracellular bacterial infection, pyroptosis does not restrict C. albicans replication. Nonfilamentous Candida spp. did not trigger pyroptosis, while Candida krusei, which forms pseudohyphae in macrophages, triggered much lower levels than did C. albicans. Interestingly, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain from the filamentous background Σ1278 also triggered low, but significant, levels of pyroptosis. We have found that deletion of the transcription factor UPC2 decreases pyroptosis but has little effect on filamentation in the macrophage. In addition, a gain-of-function mutant of UPC2 induces higher levels of pyroptosis than does a matched control strain. Taken together, these data are most consistent with a model in which filamentation is necessary but not sufficient to trigger NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. This is the first example of a fungal pathogen triggering pyroptosis and indicates that C. albicans-mediated macrophage damage is not solely due to hypha-induced physical disruption of cellular integrity.

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.
