Aislamiento y caracterización de vesículas extracelulares en especies del género Candida
2017
Se ha desarrollado un método de obtención de exosomas, a partir de cultivos de levaduras del género Candida, que ha permitido obtener microvesículas de elevada homogeneidad y pureza. Mediante microscopía electrónica de transmisión y técnicas de detección de nanopartículas (NTA), se ha podido constatar la presencia de microvesículas de tamaños comprendidos entre 100 y 200 nm. La caracterización de proteínas llevada a cabo por técnicas de Western blot, ha puesto de manifiesto la elevada pureza de los exosomas obtenidos, no existiendo contaminación celular en las preparaciones, tal y como lo indican el resultado positivo frente a calnexina en el lisado celular y negativo en las vesículas extra…

Distinct microbial populations are tightly linked to the profile of dissolved iron in the methanic sediments of the Helgoland mud area, North Sea
2015
Iron reduction in subseafloor sulfate-depleted and methane-rich marine sediments is currently a subject of interest in subsurface geomicrobiology. While iron reduction and microorganisms involved have been well studied in marine surface sediments, little is known about microorganisms responsible for iron reduction in deep methanic sediments. Here, we used quantitative PCR-based 16S rRNA gene copy numbers and pyrosequencing-based relative abundances of bacteria and archaea to investigate covariance between distinct microbial populations and specific geochemical profiles in the top 5 m of sediment cores from the Helgoland mud area, North Sea. We found that gene copy numbers of bacteria and ar…
Role of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in training immunity against infection
2022
During an infection, haematopoiesis is altered to increase the output of mature myeloid cells to fight off the pathogen. It has been demonstrated that the detection of pattern recognition receptor agonists by hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) induces their differentiation towards mature myeloid cells with modified phenotypes. In the present PhD thesis, we show that an in vitro transient exposure of HSPCs to live Candida albicans cells is sufficient to induce a trained phenotype of the macrophages they produce in a dectin-1- and TLR2-dependent manner. Additionally, we use an HSPC transplantation mouse model to demonstrate that the direct interaction of β-glucans and their recep…
