doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-24055-y
Figure Lengend Snippet: Influence of the viability of Candida albicans and the main pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) in melanoma cells after six hours of stimulation. ( a ) VEGF release and ( b ) Fos gene expression induced by different morphologies and released molecules of C. albicans . ( c , d ) VEGF release and ( e ) c-Fos protein expression in live C. albicans -exposed melanoma cells alone or treated with inhibitors for c , e TLRs (MyD88 inhibitor: TJ-M2010-5, 30 µM) and CLRs (Syk inhibitor: Piceatannol, 30 µM), and ( d , e ) EGFR ( PD153035 , 1 µM) and EphA2 (NVP-BHG712, 1 µM). ( a – d ) Data were presented as the individual values, means ± SEM ( n = 3 biologically independent samples). Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test was used to examine the statistical significance between groups. * and ** denote P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 in comparison to control without C. albicans , respectively. ( e ) Representative data of three independent Western Blots. HK: Heat-Killed; CM: Conditioned Media obtained after six hours of exposure of melanoma cells to live C. albicans MOI 5.
