138. Pathogenicity of Candida Overgrowth | Understanding Candida-Produced Proteases, Phospholipases, & Candidalysins; Symptom Causation; & Key Strategies to Address Pathogenic Overgrowth

  • サマリー

  • In today's episode, we explore the complex interactions between Candida and the gastrointestinal tract, examining how this fungus can transition from harmless commensal to pathogenic state that disrupts gut barrier functions. We dive into Candida's ability to undermine mucosal integrity through the production of candidalysin and other virulence factors like secreted aspartyl proteases, which specifically target and degrade tight junction proteins such as claudins and occludins. We'll explore the layered structure of the intestinal mucus barrier, its role in immunological defense, and how Candida's biofilm-forming capabilities further facilitate its pathogenicity. Lastly, we'll discuss tools and strategies for mitigating Candida overgrowth. Topics: 1. Gastrointestinal Tract Anatomy / Barrier Function - Mucus Layer - Description of the gastroprotective mucus barrier - Differences in mucus architecture between the small and large intestines - Composition: mucins, immunoglobulins (IgA), antimicrobial peptides - Intestinal Epithelium - Structure and function of the epithelial cell layer - Roles of different epithelial cells: enterocytes, goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, Paneth cells - Lamina Propria - Immune cell types 2. Integrity of Tight Junctions - Tight junction proteins: claudins, occludins, junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs) - Mechanisms of tight junction regulation and response to changes in the gut environment - Impact of physiological and pathological factors on tight junction dynamics 3. Candida Pathogenicity Mechanisms - Adherence and Biofilm Formation - Mechanisms facilitating Candida adherence to epithelial cells - Structural and functional implications of biofilm formation - Enzymatic Disruption of Tight Junctions - Role of Candida-secreted aspartyl proteases (Sap) and phospholipases in degrading tight junction components - Immune System Interaction - Triggering of inflammatory cytokines by Candida presence and their effects on gut barrier function 4. Candidalysin: A Specific Virulence Factor - Genetic basis for candidalysin production via the ECE1 gene - Mechanism of action: disruption of epithelial cell membrane integrity, pore formation, and cellular damage 5. Clinical Manifestations of Candida Overgrowth - Gastrointestinal symptoms: bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain - Systemic effects: fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, mood disturbances - Nutrient absorption impairments leading to deficiencies 6. Strategies - Biofilm Disruption - Agents targeting biofilm integrity and adherence properties - Antifungal and Enzymatic Tools - Natural antifungals - Role of enzymatic supplements in biofilm and cell wall degradation - Immune Modulation and Gut Microbiota Support - Immune-modulating agents - Probiotics and prebiotics to restore and maintain healthy gut flora Thank you to our episode sponsors: 1.
