Abstract

Candidiasis is characterized by susceptibility to recurrent or persistent infections caused by Candida spp., typically Candida albicans, of cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. In this report, function and frequency of Th17 cells as well as genetics of patients susceptible to mucocutaneous candidiasis were studied. For patients, T-cell proliferation tests in response to Candida antigen, Th17 cell proportions, and STAT1 phosphorylation were evaluated through flow cytometry. Expression of IL17A, IL17F and IL22 genes were measured by real-time quantitative PCR. At the same time, whole exome sequencing was performed for all patients. We identified two heterozygous substitutions, one: c.821G > A (p. R274Q) was found in a multiplex family with three individuals affected, the second one: c.812A > C (p. Q271P) was found in a sporadic case. Both mutations are located in the coiled-coil domain (CCD) of STAT1. The frequency of Th17 cells, IL17A, IL17F, and IL22 gene expression in patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and T-cell proliferation to Candida antigens were significantly reduced in the patients as compared to healthy controls. An increased STAT1 phosphorylation was observed in patients' PBMCs upon interferon (IFN)-γ st...Continue Reading
