Protective tolerance to fungi: the role of IL-10 and tryptophan catabolism

Trends in Microbiology
Luigina Romani, Paolo Puccetti

Abstract

The pro-inflammatory-anti-inflammatory signaling balance is required for successful host-fungus interactions. The occurrence and interference of regulatory T (T-reg) cells in fungal infections offers a valuable framework for events that occur at the host-fungus interface. Control of both the class and magnitude of the immune response might confer an evolutionary advantage whereby the host effectively fights infection but limits collateral immunopathology. Alternatively, fungus-induced immunosuppression could be a powerful immunoevasion strategy for the invading pathogen. Discovery of T-reg cells as a source of IL-10 might contribute to a better understanding of the opposing functions and variable levels of production of this prototypic immunoregulatory cytokine in fungal infections and inflammatory diseases. T-reg cells, however, might also represent an additional mechanistic level at which host responses are subverted by fungi.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
