RESUMO

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory disease that was identified by Professor Tomisaku Kawasaki in 1961. Candida albicans-derived substances (CADS) such as the hot water extract of C. albicans and Candida water-soluble fractions (CAWS) induce coronary vasculitis similar to KD in mice. An increasing proportion of deep-seated candidiasis cases are caused by non-albicans Candida and are often resistant to antifungal drugs. We herein investigated whether the mannoprotein fractions (MN fractions) of clinically isolated Candida species induce vasculitis in mice. We prepared MN fractions from 26 strains of Candida species by conventional hot water extraction and compared vasculitis in DBA/2 mice. The results obtained revealed that the induction of vasculitis and resulting heart failure were significantly dependent on the species; namely, death rates on day 200 were as follows: Candida krusei (100%), Candida albicans (84%), Candida dubliniensis (47%), Candida parapsilosis (44%), Candida glabrata (32%), Candida guilliermondii (20%), and Candida tropicalis (20%). Even for C. albicans, some strains did not induce vasculitis. The present results suggest that MN-induced vasculitis is strongly dependent on the species and strains of Candida, and also that the MN fractions of some non-albicans Candida induce similar toxicity to those of C. albicans.

RESUMO

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory disease that was identified by Professor Tomisaku Kawasaki in 1961. Candida albicans-derived substances, such as the hot water extract of C. albicans (CADS) and Candida water-soluble fraction (CAWS), induced coronary vasculitis similar to KD in mice. An increasing proportion of deep-seated candidiasis cases are caused by non-albicans Candida and are often resistant to antifungal drugs. We herein investigated whether the hot water extract of C. krusei, inherently resistant to fluconazole, induces vasculitis in mice. Three strains of C. krusei, NBRC1395, NBRC1162, and NBRC10737, were cultured in natural (Y) and chemically defined (C) media and cell wall mannoprotein (MN) fractions were prepared by autoclaving cells (CKY1395MN, CKC1395MN, CKY1162MN, CKC1162MN, CKY10737MN, and CKC10737MN). All MN fractions reacted strongly with Concanavalin A (Con A) and dectin-2 and induced anaphylactoid shock in ICR mice. MNs induced severe coronary vasculitis in DBA/2 mice, resulting in cardiac hypertrophy. MNs also induced coronary vasculitis in C57Bl/6 mice. These results suggest that the MNs of non-albicans Candida, such as C. krusei, induce similar toxicity to those of C. albicans.
