Among them, a cytokine QTL at the NAA35-GOLM1 locus markedly modulated interleukin (IL)-6 production in response to multiple pathogens and was associated with susceptibility to candidemia.
Lactobacillus bacteremia was associated with candidemia and occurred while the patient was receiving a probiotic formulation containing the same strain (as determined by PFGE typing), and was being concomitantly treated with i.v. vancomycin, to which the Lactobacillus strain was resistant.
Candidemia following NCA in neonates (p = 0.02), infants (p = 0.04) and adults (p = 0.02) in ICU and immunocompromised patients were significantly higher.
CD82 knockout mice were more susceptible to <i>C. albicans</i> as compared with wild-type mice.Furthermore, patient <i>C. albicans</i>-induced cytokine production was influenced by two human CD82 single nucleotide polymorphisms, whereas an additional CD82 single nucleotide polymorphism increased the risk for candidemia independent of cytokine production.
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.
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.
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).
IL-10 production was higher in C. albicans-stimulated PBMC from volunteers bearing the TLR4Asp299Gly polymorphism, and a similar tendency was observed in TLR4Asp299Gly heterozygous patients who had recovered from candidemia.
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).
Candidemia following NCA in neonates (p = 0.02), infants (p = 0.04) and adults (p = 0.02) in ICU and immunocompromised patients were significantly higher.
Among them, a cytokine QTL at the NAA35-GOLM1 locus markedly modulated interleukin (IL)-6 production in response to multiple pathogens and was associated with susceptibility to 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.
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 IL10 rs1800896 (3.45 [1.33-8.93]) and IL12Brs41292470 (5.36 [1.51-19.0]).
