Fungus-derived hydroxyl radicals kill hepatic cells by enhancing nuclear transglutaminase
Abstract We previously reported the importance of induced nuclear transglutaminase (TG) 2 activity, which results in hepatic cell death, in ethanol-induced liver injury. Here, we show that co-incubation of either human hepatic cells or mouse primary hepatocytes derived from wild-type but not TG2−/−...

Here, we show that co-incubation of either human hepatic cells or mouse primary hepatocytes derived from wild-type but not TG2−/− mice with pathogenic fungi Candida albicans and C. glabrata, but not baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, induced cell death in host cells by enhancing cellular, particularly nuclear, TG activity.
