The commensal fungus, Candida albicans, can cause life-threatening infections in
at risk individuals. C. albicans colonizes mucosal surfaces of most people,
adhering to and interacting with epithelial cells. At low concentrations, C.
albicans is not pathogenic nor does it cause epithelial cell damage in vitro; at
high concentrations, C. albicans causes mucosal infections and kills epithelial
cells in vitro. Here we show that while there are quantitative dose-dependent
differences in exposed epithelial cell populations, these reflect a fundamental
qualitative difference in host cell response to C. albicans. Using
transcriptional profiling experiments and real time PCR, we found that wild-type
C. albicans induce dose-dependent responses from a FaDu epithelial cell line.
However, real time PCR and Western blot analysis using a high dose of various C.
albicans strains demonstrated that these dose-dependent responses are associated
with ability to promote host cell damage. Our studies support the idea that
epithelial cells play a key role in the immune system by monitoring the microbial
community at mucosal surfaces and initiating defensive responses when this
community is dysfunctional. This places epithelial cells at a pivotal position in
the interaction with C. albicans as epithelial cells themselves promote C.
albicans stimulated damage.
