许多人类真菌病原体在以孢子形式被吸入时就会感染人类。尽管真菌孢子对人类健康产生严重影响,但人们对它们的基本特性或它们如何与宿主相互作用知之甚少。对于新型隐球菌来说尤其如此,它是一种人类真菌病原体,每年导致超过 60 万人死亡。由于分离新型隐球菌孢子的技术挑战,此前尚未对其孢子进行很好的表征;然而,孢子分离的最新进展导致首次对孢子进行直接分析。对孢子与宿主相互作用的新见解,特别是孢子如何与肺泡巨噬细胞相互作用,提供了一种新的隐球菌病模型,可能对人类真菌发病机制产生广泛的影响。
Many human fungal pathogens infect people when they are inhaled as spores. Despite the serious impact of fungal spores on human health, little is known about their basic properties or how they interact with the host. This is particularly true for Cryptococcus neoformans, a human fungal pathogen that causes more than 600,000 deaths annually. Spores of C. neoformans have not been well characterized previously because of technical challenges in isolating them; however, recent advances in spore isolation have lead to the first direct analyses of spores. Novel insights into the spore-host interaction, specifically how spores interact with alveolar macrophages, have provided a new model of cryptococcosis that could have broad implications for human fungal pathogenesis.
