During hematogenously disseminated candidiasis, blood borne fungi must invade the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels to infect the deep tissues. Although Candida albicans, which forms hyphae, readily invades endothelial cells, other medically important species of Candida are poorly invasive in standard in vitro assays and have low virulence in immunocompetent mouse models of disseminated infection. Here, we show that Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida krusei can bind to vitronectin and high molecular weight kininogen present in human serum. Acting as bridging molecules, vitronectin and kininogen bind to αv integrins and the globular C1q receptor (gC1qR), inducing human endothelial cells to endocytose the fungus. This mechanism of endothelial cell invasion is poorly supported by mouse endothelial cells but can be restored when mouse endothelial cells are engineered to express human gC1qR or αv integrin. Overall, these data indicate that bridging molecule-mediated endocytosis is a common pathogenic strategy used by many medically important Candida spp. to invade human vascular endothelial cells. The invasion of vascular endothelial cells is a key step in the pathogenesis of hematogenously disseminated candidiasis. How species of Candida other than C. albicans invade endothelial cells is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that Candida glabrata and other Candida spp. adhere to and invade human endothelial cells by utilizing the serum proteins kininogen and vitronectin as bridging molecules between the fungus and the host cell. When bound to the surface of the fungi, these serum proteins interact with the globular C1q receptor (gC1qR) and αv integrins on the endothelial cell surface, inducing endocytosis. This process occurs with human but not mouse endothelial cells but can be restored in mouse endothelial cells that express human gC1qR or integrin αv. Thus, bridging molecule-mediated endocytosis is a common mechanism by which medically important Candida spp. invade human vascular endothelial cells.
