Dependence on Mincle and Dectin-2 Varies With Multiple Candida Species During Systemic Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
More than 95% of invasive Candida infections are caused by four Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis). C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs), such as Dectin-1, Dectin-2, and Mincle mediate immune responses to C.

Expression of dectin-1 during fungus infection in human corneal epithelial cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014
AIM:To evaluate the expression of dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin-1 (dectin-1) in human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells infected by fungus.METHODS:A total of 20 cases of healthy donor corneas were group A, and 20 patients (20 eyes) suffered from ...

Quantitative Expression of C-Type Lectin Receptors in Humans and Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
C-type lectin receptors, their adaptor molecules and S-type lectins (galectins) are involved in the recognition of glycosylated self-antigens and pathogens.

Selective C-Rel activation via Malt1 controls anti-fungal T(H)-17 immunity by dectin-1 and dectin-2.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2011
C-type lectins dectin-1 and dectin-2 on dendritic cells elicit protective immunity against fungal infections through induction of T(H)1 and T(H)-17 cellular responses.

Dectin-1 Controls TSLP-Induced Th2 Response by Regulating STAT3, STAT6, and p50-RelB Activities in Dendritic Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The epithelium-associated cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) can induce OX40L and CCL17 expression by myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), which contributes to aberrant Th2-type immune responses.

Targeting self- and foreign antigens to dendritic cells via DC-ASGPR generates IL-10-producing suppressive CD4+ T cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Dendritic cells (DCs) can initiate and shape host immune responses toward either immunity or tolerance by their effects on antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells.

Dectin-1-Mediated DC-SIGN Recruitment to Candida albicans Contact Sites

open access: yesLife, 2021
At host–pathogen contact sites with Candida albicans, Dectin-1 activates pro-inflammatory signaling, while DC-SIGN promotes adhesion to the fungal surface. We observed that Dectin-1 and DC-SIGN collaborate to enhance capture/retention of C.

Dectin-1

open access: yes, 2004
In host defence, pattern recognition plays an essential role by enabling the immune system to discriminate self from pathogenic non-self. Pattern recognition is mediated by leukocyte expressed pattern recognition molecules (PRMs), which recognise pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on pathogens.

Dectin-2 is a primary receptor for NLRP3 inflammasome activation in dendritic cell response to Histoplasma capsulatum.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2017
Inflammasome is an intracellular protein complex that serves as cytosolic pattern recognition receptor (PRR) to engage with pathogens and to process cytokines of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family into bioactive molecules.
