Lysozyme plays a dual role against the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis / Beatriz Helena Aristizábal Bernal
Título : Lysozyme plays a dual role against the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Tipo de documento : documento electrónico Autores : Beatriz Helena Aristizábal Bernal, Fecha de publicación : 2008 Títulos uniformes : Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave : Lysozyme TNF- Alveolar macrophages Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Resumen : In order to determine the role of lysozyme, an antimicrobial peptide belonging to the innate immune system, against the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, co-cultures of the MH-S murine alveolar macrophages cell line with P. brasiliensis conidia were done; assays to evaluate the effect of physiological and inflammatory concentrations of lysozyme directly on the fungus life cycle were also undertaken. We observed that TNF-α-activated macrophages significantly inhibited the conidia to yeast transition (p = 0.0043) and exerted an important fungicidal effect (p = 0.0044), killing 27% more fungal propagules in comparison with controls. Nonetheless, after adding a selective inhibitor of lysozyme, the fungicidal effect was reverted. When P. brasiliensis propagules were exposed directly to different concentrations of lysozyme, a dual effect was observed. Physiologic concentrations of the enzyme facilitated the conidia-to-yeast transition process (p Mención de responsabilidad : Damaris Lopera; Beatriz H.
