Dectin-1 isoforms contribute to distinct Th1/Th17 cell activation in mucosal ca...
Carvalho, Agostinho; Giovannini, Gloria; De Luca, Antonella; D’Angelo, Carmen; Casagrande, Andrea; Iannitti, Rossana G.; Ricci, GiovanniWe thank Dr. Cristina Massi Benedetti for digital art and editing ; Recognition of β-glucans by dectin-1 has been shown to mediate cell activation, cytokine production and a variety of antifungal responses. Here, we report that the functional activity of dectin-1 in mucosal immunity to Candida albicans is influenced by the genetic background of the host. Dectin-1 was required for the proper control of gastroin...
CD4+ T cell vaccination overcomes defective cross-presentation of fungal antige...
Luca, Antonella De; Iannitti, Rossana G.; Bozza, Silvia; Beau, Remi; Casagrande, Andrea; D’Angelo, Carmen; Moretti, Silvia; Cunha, CristinaAspergillus fumigatus is a model fungal pathogen and a common cause of infection in individuals with the primary immunodeficiency chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Although primarily considered a deficiency of innate immunity, CGD is also linked to dysfunctional T cell reactivity. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells mediate vaccine-induced protection from experimental aspergillosis, but the molecular mechanisms leadi...
Genetically-determined hyperfunction of the S100B/RAGE axis is a risk factor fo...
Cunha, Cristina; Giovannini, Gloria; Pierini, Antonio; Bell, Alain S.; Sorci, Guglielmo; Riuzzi, Francesca; Donato, RosarioInvasive aspergillosis (IA) is a major threat to the successful outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), although individual risk varies considerably. Recent evidence has established a pivotal role for a danger sensing mechanism implicating the S100B/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) axis in antifungal immunity. The association of selected genetic variants in the S100B/RAGE a...
