- W2997445701 abstract "Abstract Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic and progressive subcutaneous mycosis caused mainly by the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi . The infection is characterized by erythaematous papules and the histological sections demonstrating an external layer of fibrous tissue and an internal layer of thick granulomatous inflammatory tissue containing mainly macrophages and neutrophils. Several groups have been studying the roles of the innate and adaptive immune systems in F. pedrosoi infection; however, few studies have focused on the role of neutrophils in this infection. In the current study, we verified the importance of murine neutrophils in the killing of F. pedrosoi conidia and hyphae. We demonstrate that phagocytosis and reactive oxygen species during infection with conidia are TLR-2 and TLR-4-dependent and are essentials for conidial killing. Meanwhile, hyphal killing occurs by NETs formation, in a TLR-2, TLR-4 and ROS-independent manner. In vivo experiments showed that TLR-2 and TLR-4 are also important in Chromoblastomycosis infection. TLR-2KO and TLR-4KO animals had lower levels of MIP-2 and KC chemokines and impaired neutrophil migration to the infected site. These animals also had higher fungal loads during infection with F. pedrosoi conidia, confirming that TLR-2 and TLR-4 are essential receptors for F. pedrosoi recognition and immune system activation. Therefore, this study demonstrated for the first time that neutrophils activation during F. pedrosoi is conidial or hyphal-specific, with TLR-2 and TLR-4 being essential during conidial infection but unnecessary for hyphal killing by neutrophils Author Summary Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic and progressive subcutaneous mycosis that affects mainly low-income individuals, such as farm workers. CBM have been diagnosed all over the world, but the majority of cases were diagnosed in tropical and subtropical climate countries. The treatment is difficult and involves the combination of antifungal prescriptions, cryo/heat-therapy and, in some cases, surgery to remove all the infected tissue. The treatment is long (at least 6 months) and expensive, leading to a high rate of treatment dropout and disease relapse. However, the understanding of pathogen-host interaction is far from being elucitaded. Our understanding is that this pathogen-host interaction in CBM needs to be uncovered so a different and more effective treatment could be proposed to help those patients that are struggling against this chronic infection. Therefore, our study shed a light in neutrophils and innate immune response against this fungal infection, showing the neutrophils capacity to kill Fonsecaea pedrosoi conidia and hifa, showing the importance of toll-like receptors 2 and 4 in the neutrophil fungicidal capacity against F. pedrosoi conidia but not hyphae. Therefore this work help to the better understanding of how our organism fights back in the CBM infection." @default.
