线粒体以其在ATP产生中的作用而闻名;然而,最近的研究表明,人类病原真菌的毒力中还涉及其他线粒体功能。线粒体琥珀酸脱氢酶或电子传递链的抑制剂已成功地用于对抗植物病原真菌,但线粒体功能的类似抑制尚未在医学真菌学中应用。人类病原真菌相关线粒体功能的研究进展主要集中在四个方面:1)线粒体形态在致病性中的作用; 2)线粒体遗传学,重点是线粒体DNA重组和线粒体遗传; 3)线粒体在耐药性中的作用; 4)线粒体与其他细胞器的相互作用。总的来说,尽管真菌和动物之间的线粒体功能相似,但这种细胞器目前是治疗医学真菌病的潜在靶点。未来的研究可以确定并利用那些最适合作为药物靶点的线粒体成分。
Mitochondria are best known for their role in the production of ATP; however, recent research implicates other mitochondrial functions in the virulence of human pathogenic fungi. Inhibitors of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase or the electron transport chain are successfully used to combat plant pathogenic fungi, but similar inhibition of mitochondrial functions has not been pursued for applications in medical mycology. Advances in understanding mitochondrial function relevant to human pathogenic fungi are in four major directions: 1) the role of mitochondrial morphology in virulence, 2) mitochondrial genetics, with a focus on mitochondrial DNA recombination and mitochondrial inheritance 3) the role of mitochondria in drug resistance, and 4) the interaction of mitochondria with other organelles. Collectively, despite the similarities in mitochondrial functions between fungi and animals, this organelle is currently an under-explored potential target to treat medical mycoses. Future research could define and then exploit those mitochondrial components best suited as drug targets.
