15-keto-prostaglandin E <sub>2</sub> activates host peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) to promote <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> growth during infection
2017-03-02
Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans is one of the leading causes of invasive fungal infection in humans worldwide. C. neoformans uses macrophages as a proliferative niche to increase infective burden and avoid immune surveillance. However, the specific mechanisms by which C. neoformans manipulates host immunity to promote its growth during infection remain ill-defined. Here we demonstrate that eicosanoid lipid mediators man...
