IL-10 production was higher in C. albicans-stimulated PBMC from volunteers bearing the TLR4 Asp299Gly polymorphism, and a similar tendency was observed in TLR4 Asp299Gly heterozygous patients who had recovered from candidemia.

Whereas the dectin-1/CARD9 signaling pathway is nonredundant in mucosal immunity to C. albicans, a partial deficiency of β-glucan recognition has a minor impact on susceptibility to candidemia.
The role of Candida species herein has recently been rediscovered since a 'loss-of-function' Y238X polymorphism in dectin-1, a C-type lectin receptor recognizing the β-1,3-glucan motif of Candida, resulted in diminished membrane expression and lower cytokine responses upon β-1,3-glucan recognition, and was associated with increased Candida colonization of SCT recipients, rendering them at risk for candidaemia.
No significant association between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms DECTIN-1 Y238X and CARD9S12N and the prevalence of candidemia was found, despite the association of the DECTIN-1 238X allele with impaired in vitro and in vivo cytokine production.
In the multivariable model, persistent candidemia was significantly associated with (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]): total parenteral nutrition (2.79 [1.26-6.17]), dialysis dependence (3.76 [1.46-8.64]), and the SNPs IL10rs1800896 (3.45 [1.33-8.93]) and IL12B rs41292470 (5.36 [1.51-19.0]).
Thirteen mostly nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding TLRs and signaling adaptors MyD88 and Mal/TIRAP were genotyped in 338 patients (237 white, 93 African American, 8 other race) with candidemia and 351 noninfected controls (263 white, 88 African American).
ABC and microsatellite genotyping of 51 strains of C. albicans revealed that patients who did not develop candidaemia were multiply colonised by at least two ABC genotypes of C. albicans, whereas candidaemic patients had highly related microsatellites and the same ABC genotype in colonising and bloodstream isolates that were probably present in different body sites before the onset of candidaemia.

We observe significant association between candidaemia and SNPs in the CD58 (P = 1.97 × 10(-11); odds ratio (OR) = 4.68), LCE4A-C1orf68 (P = 1.98 × 10(-10); OR = 4.25) and TAGAP (P = 1.84 × 10(-8); OR = 2.96) loci.

Our aim was to assess the effect of genetic variations in the ATG16L1 and IRGM autophagy genes on the susceptibility of patients with candidemia and oropharyngeal candidiasis.
Administration of miR-204/miR-211 mimics substantially downregulated Hmx1 and mitigated the severity of the kidney injuries induced by Candidemia, as reflected by improved renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) determined by serum cystatin C (CysC), serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN).

We then experimentally validated the targeting relationship between miR-204/miR-211 and Hmx1, which explains the reciprocal changes of expression of miR-204/miR-211 and Hmx1 in Candidemia.

In addition, no significant associations between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the ATG16L1 and IRGM genetic variants and the incidence of candidemia or oropharyngeal candidiasis were identified.
