AB - Invasive aspergillosis mainly occurs in immunocompromised patients and is
commonly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, while A.nidulans is rarely the
causative agent. However, in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients, A.
nidulans is a frequent cause of invasive aspergillosis and is associated with
higher mortality. Immune recognition of A. nidulans was compared to A. fumigatus
to offer an insight into why A. nidulans infections are prevalent in CGD. Live
cell imaging with J774A.1 macrophage-like cells and LC3-GFP-mCherry bone
marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) revealed that phagocytosis of A. nidulans was
slower compared to A. fumigatus. This difference could be attributed to slower
migration of J774A.1 cells and a lower percentage of migrating BMDMs. In
addition, delayed phagosome acidification and LC3-associated phagocytosis was
observed with A. nidulans. Cytokine and oxidative burst measurements in human
peripheral blood mononuclear cells revealed a lower oxidative burst upon
challenge with A. nidulans. In contrast, A. nidulans induced significantly higher
concentrations of cytokines. Collectively, our data demonstrate that A. nidulans
is phagocytosed and processed at a slower rate compared to A. fumigatus,
resulting in reduced fungal killing and increased germination of conidia. This
slower rate of A. nidulans clearance may be permissive for overgrowth within
certain immune settings.
