Homobifunctional imidoester-modified zinc nano-spindle attenuated hyphae growth of Aspergillus against hypersensitivity responses

Summary: Fungi cause various forms of invasive fungal disease (IFD), and fungal sensitization can contribute to the development of asthma, asthma severity, and other hypersensitivity diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). In this study, we introduce a facile and controllable approach, using homob...

description Summary: Fungi cause various forms of invasive fungal disease (IFD), and fungal sensitization can contribute to the development of asthma, asthma severity, and other hypersensitivity diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). In this study, we introduce a facile and controllable approach, using homobifunctional imidoester-modified zinc nano-spindle (HINS), for attenuating hyphae growth of fungi and reducing the hypersensitivity response complications in fungi-infected mice. To extend the study of the specificity and immune mechanisms, we used HINS-cultured Aspergillus extract (HI-AsE) and common agar-cultured Aspergillus extract (Con-AsE) as the refined mouse models. HINS composites within the safe concentration range inhibited the hyphae growth of fungi but also reduce the number of fungal pathogens. Through the evaluation of lung and skin tissues from the mice, asthma pathogenesis (lung) and the hypersensitivity response (skin) to invasive aspergillosis were least severe in HI-AsE-infected mice. Therefore, HINS composites attenuate asthma and the hypersensitivity response to invasive aspergillosis.
