    Abstract The liver, and more specifically, the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, constitute the beginning of one of the most important responses for the elimination of hematogenously disseminated Candida albicans. Therefore, we aimed to study the mechanisms involved in the interaction between these cells and C. albicans. Transcriptomics-based analysis showed an increase in the expression of genes related to the immune response (including receptors, cytokines, and adhesion molecules), as well as to aerobic glycolysis. Further in vitro analyses showed that IL-6 production in response to C. albicans is controlled by MyD88- and SYK-pathways, suggesting an involvement of Toll-like and C-type lectin receptors and the subsequent activation of the MAP-kinases and c-Fos/AP-1 transcription factor. In addition, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells undergo metabolic reprogramming towards aerobic glycolysis induced by C. albicans, as confirmed by the increased Extracellular Acidification Rate and the overexpression of enolase (Eno2), hexonikase (Hk2) and glucose transporter 1 (Slc2a1). In conclusion, these results indicate that the hepatic endothelium responds to C. albicans by increasing aerobic glycolysis and promoting an inflammatory environment.

    Abstract The most common genetic hereditary disease affecting Caucasians is cystic fibrosis (CF), which is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the CFTR gene. The most serious consequence is the production of a thick and sticky mucus in the respiratory tract, which entraps airborne microorganisms and facilitates colonization, inflammation and infection. Therefore, the present article compiles the information about the microbiota and, particularly, the inter-kingdom fungal-bacterial interactions in the CF lung, the molecules involved and the potential effects that these interactions may have on the course of the disease. Among the bacterial compounds, quorum sensing-regulated molecules such as homoserine lactones, phenazines, rhamnolipids, quinolones and siderophores (pyoverdine and pyochelin) stand out, but volatile organic compounds, maltophilin and CF-related bacteriophages are also explained. These molecules exhibit diverse antifungal mechanisms, including iron starvation and induction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species production. The fungal compounds are less studied, but they include cell wall components, siderophores, patulin and farnesol. Despite the apparent competition between microorganisms, the persistence of significant rates of bacterial-fungal co-colonization in CF suggests that numerous variables influence it. In conclusion, it is crucial to increase scientific and economic efforts to intensify studies on the bacterial-fungal inter-kingdom interactions in the CF lung.

    Abstract Introduction: Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is the leading tool to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Given that it will almost certainly continue to coexist with other respiratory viruses in the coming years, our study aimed to design a multiplex PCR system not affected by supplier outages and with reduced cost compared to the existing commercially available kits.
    Methods and results: In this study, combinations of four primers/probe sets were used to construct a flexible RT-qPCR assay which is capable of discriminating between SARS-CoV-2 and the seasonal human coronavirus HCoV-OC43, or even influenza A virus. Additionally, the human RPP30 gene was used as an internal control. To demonstrate the robustness of the assay, it was applied to a collection of 150 clinical samples. The results showed 100% sensitivity and specificity compared to the automatized system used at the hospital and were better when indeterminate samples were analysed.
    Conclusions: This study provides an efficient method for the simultaneous detection of SARS-CoV-2, HCoV-OC43 and influenza A virus, and its efficacy has been tested on clinical samples showing outstanding results.
    Significance and impact of the study: The multiplex RT-qPCR design offers an accessible and economical alternative to commercial detection kits for hospitals and laboratories with limited economic resources or facing situations of supply shortage.

    Abstract Infections caused by the opportunistic pathogens Scedosporium / Lomentospora are on the rise. This causes problems in the clinic due to the difficulty in diagnosing and treating them. This review collates information published on immune response against these fungi, since an understanding of the mechanisms involved is of great interest in developing more effective strategies against them. Scedosporium / Lomentospora cell wall components, including peptidorhamnomannans (PRMs), α-glucans and glucosylceramides, are important immune response activators following their recognition by TLR2, TLR4 and Dectin-1 and through receptors that are yet unknown. After recognition, cytokine synthesis and antifungal activity of different phagocytes and epithelial cells is species-specific, highlighting the poor response by microglial cells against L. prolificans . Moreover, a great number of Scedosporium / Lomentospora antigens have been identified, most notably catalase, PRM and Hsp70 for their potential medical applicability. Against host immune response, these fungi contain evasion mechanisms, inducing host non-protective response, masking fungal molecular patterns, destructing host defense proteins and decreasing oxidative killing. In conclusion, although many advances have been made, many aspects remain to be elucidated and more research is necessary to shed light on the immune response to Scedosporium / Lomentospora .
