Dataset Summary
TitleDifferentiated protein extracts from freshwater and terrestrial mollusks inhibit virulence factor production in Cryptococcus neoformans
DescriptionCryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen responsible for an increased mortality among immunocompromised individuals. Long antifungal therapies to treat cryptococcal infections have compounded the occurrence of resistant strains that threaten the efficacy of current treatments. In this senseDue to resistance mechanisms, discovery of compounds that inhibit virulence factors, rather than kill the fungus, have emerged as potential new strategies to combat infection and reduce the rate of resistance due to lower selective pressure. Invertebrates rely solely on an effective innate immune system to prevent infections, provide providing a potential one health approach for discovery of novel antifungal and antibacterial compounds. Here, we demonstrate a differentiated extraction of proteins from three mollusks (freshwater and terrestrial) and evaluate extract their effects against the growth and virulence factor production (thermotolerance, melanin, capsule, and biofilm) in C. neoformans. We show that clarified extracts of Planorbella pilsbryi have a fungicidal effect on cryptococcal cells in a comparable way to Fluconazolefluconazole. Similarly, crude and clarifiedall extracts of Cipangopaludina chinensis not only affects cryptococcal thermotolerance but also impairs biofilm and capsule production. In addition, incubation of C. neoformans with clarified extracts of Cepaea nemoralis extracts reduced capsule production. Using inhibitory activity of extracts against peptidases related with virulence factors and Quantitative quantitative proteomics arose distinct proteome signatures for each extract and proposed proteins driving the observed anti-virulence properties. Overall, this work demonstratesproves the potential of compounds derived from natural sources to inhibit virulence factor production in a clinically important fungal pathogen.
