Reciprocal regulation of TLR4, TLR3 and Macrophage Scavenger Receptor 1 regulates nonopsonic phagocytosis of the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans.

C. U. Onyishi, G. E. Desanti, A. L. Wilkinson, G. Fejer, O. D. Christophe, C. E. Bryant, S. Mukhopadhyay, S. Gordon, R. C. May

This study identifies MSR1 as a key receptor for nonopsonic phagocytosis of Cryptococcus neoformans and shows TLR4/MSR1 crosstalk in this process.

An in vitro method for inducing titan cells reveals novel features of yeast-to-titan switching in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus gattii

R. C. May, L. Saidykhan, J. Correia, A. Romanyuk, G. E. Desanti, L. Taylor-Smith, M. Makarova, E. R. Ballou

This paper develops an in vitro method to induce titan cells in Cryptococcus gattii and identifies p-Aminobenzoic acid as a key inducer, revealing strain-specific differences and asynchronous cell cycle features during titanisation.

Host-derived Reactive Nitrogen Species mediate the Cryptococcus neoformans yeast-to-titan switch via fungal-derived superoxide

X. Zhou, G. E. Desanti, R. C. May, I. M. Dambuza, E. R. Ballou

This paper identifies host-derived reactive nitrogen species as key drivers of the Cryptococcus neoformans yeast-to-titan switch by increasing endogenous superoxide, which promotes genotoxic stress and polyploidy, while requiring SOD activity for titan cell viability.
