A novel contribution of spvB to pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium by inhibiting autophagy in host cells.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella plasmid virulence genes (spv) are highly conserved in strains of clinically important Salmonella serovars. It is essential for Salmonella plasmid-correlated virulence, although the exact mechanism remains to be elucidated. Autophagy has been reported to play an important role in host immune responses limiting Salmonella infection. Our previous studies demonstrated that Salmonella conjugative plasmid harboring spv genes could enhance bacterial cytotoxicity by inhibiting autophagy. In the present study, we investigated whether spvB, which is one of the most important constituents of spv ORF could intervene in autophagy pathway. Murine macrophage-like cells J774A.1, human epithelial HeLa cells, and BALB/c mice infected with Salmonella Typhimurium wild type, mutant and complementary strains (carrying or free spvB or complemented only with ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of SpvB) were used in vitro and in vivo assay, respectively. To further explore the molecular mechanisms, both SpvB ectopic eukaryotic expression system and cells deficient in essential autophagy components by siRNA were generated. Results indicated that spvB could suppress autophagosome formation through its function in depolymerizing actin, and aggravate inflammatory injury of the host in response to S. Typhimurium infection. Our studies demonstrated virulence of spvB involving in inhibition of autophagic flux for the first time, which could provide novel insights into Salmonella pathogenesis, and have potential application to develop new antibacterial strategies for Salmonellosis.

The Salmonella Typhimurium Effector SpvB Subverts Host Membrane Trafficking by Targeting Clathrin and AP-1.

Project description:Salmonella enterica, the etiological agent of gastrointestinal and systemic diseases, translocates a plethora of virulence factors through its type III secretion systems to host cells during infection. Among them, SpvB has been reported to harbor an ADP-ribosyltransferase domain in its C terminus, which destabilizes host cytoskeleton by modifying actin. However, whether this effector targets other host factors as well as the function of its N terminus still remains to be determined. Here, we found that SpvB targets clathrin and its adaptor AP-1 (adaptor protein 1) via interactions with its N-terminal domain. Notably, our data suggest that SpvB-clathrin/AP-1 associations disrupt clathrin-mediated endocytosis and protein secretion pathway as well. In addition, knocking down of AP-1 promotes Salmonella intracellular survival and proliferation in host cells.

Contribution of Thy1+ NK cells to protective IFN-? production during Salmonella typhimurium infections.

Project description:IFN-? is critical for immunity against infections with intracellular pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica. However, which of the many cell types capable of producing IFN-? controls Salmonella infections remains unclear. Using a mouse model of systemic Salmonella infection, we observed that only a lack of all lymphocytes or CD90 (Thy1)(+) cells, but not the absence of T cells, Retinoic acid-related orphan receptor (ROR)-?t-dependent lymphocytes, (NK)1.1(+) cells, natural killer T (NKT), and/or B cells alone, replicated the highly susceptible phenotype of IFN-?-deficient mice to Salmonella infection. A combination of antibody depletions and adoptive transfer experiments revealed that early protective IFN-? was provided by Thy1-expressing natural killer (NK) cells and that these cells improved antibacterial immunity through the provision of IFN-?. Further analysis of NK cells producing IFN-? in response to Salmonella indicated that less mature NK cells were more efficient at mediating antibacterial effector function than terminally differentiated NK cells. Inspired by recent reports of Thy1(+) NK cells contributing to immune memory, we analyzed their role in secondary protection against otherwise lethal WT Salmonella infections. Notably, we observed that a newly generated Salmonella vaccine strain not only conferred superior protection compared with conventional regimens but that this enhanced efficiency of recall immunity was afforded by incorporating CD4(-)CD8(-)Thy1(+) cells into the secondary response. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that Thy1-expressing NK cells play an important role in antibacterial immunity.

Salmonella pSLT-encoded effector SpvB promotes RIPK3-dependent necroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells.

Project description:Salmonella is one of the most important worldwide zoonotic pathogens. After invading a host orally, the bacteria break through the intestinal epithelial barrier for further invasion. Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier. Necroptosis is considered one of the virulence strategies utilized by invasive Salmonella. Our previous work has shown that SpvB, an effector encoded by S. Typhimurium virulence plasmid (pSLT), promotes bacterial translocation via the paracellular route. However, it is still unknown whether SpvB could promote bacterial invasion through disrupting the integrity of IECs. Here, we demonstrated that SpvB promoted necroptosis of IECs and contributed to the destruction of the intestinal barrier during Salmonella infection. We found that SpvB enhanced the protein level of receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) through inhibiting K48-linked poly-ubiquitylation of RIPK3 and the degradation of the protein in an autophagy-dependent manner. The abundant accumulation of RIPK3 upregulated the phosphorylation of MLKL, which contributed to necroptosis. The damage to IECs ultimately led to the disruption of the intestinal barrier and aggravated infection. In vivo, SpvB promoted the pathogenesis of Salmonella, favoring intestinal injury and colonic necroptosis. Our findings reveal a novel function of Salmonella effector SpvB, which could facilitate salmonellosis by promoting necroptosis, and broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of bacterial invasion.

Salmonella typhimurium disseminates within its host by manipulating the motility of infected cells.

Project description:The mammalian host has a number of innate immune mechanisms designed to limit the spread of infection, yet many bacteria, including Salmonella, can cause systemic disease. Salmonella typhimurium-infected phagocytes traverse the gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium and enter the bloodstream within minutes after ingestion, thereby spreading throughout its host. Here, we provide a cellular and molecular basis for this phenomenon. We demonstrate that S. typhimurium manipulates the migratory properties of infected GI phagocytes with a type III secretion system. We show that one secreted effector, SrfH, interacts with the host protein TRIP6, a member of the zyxin family of adaptor proteins that regulate motility. SrfH promotes phagocyte motility in vitro and accelerates the systemic spread of infection away from the lumen of the intestine in the mouse. This is a previously uncharacterized mechanism by which an intracellular pathogen overcomes host defenses designed to immobilize infected cells.

Invasion of host cells by Salmonella typhimurium requires focal adhesion kinase and p130Cas.

Project description:Salmonella typhimurium colonizes the intestinal epithelium by injecting an array of effector proteins into host cells that induces phagocytic uptake of attached bacteria. However, the host molecules targeted by these effectors remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that S. typhimurium induces formation of focal adhesion-like complexes at sites of bacterial attachment and that both focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the scaffolding protein p130Cas are required for Salmonella uptake. Entry of Salmonella into FAK(-/-) cells is dramatically impaired and can be restored to control levels by expression of wild-type FAK. Surprisingly, reconstitution of bacterial internalization requires neither the kinase domain of FAK nor activation of c-Src, but does require a C-terminal PXXP motif through which FAK interacts with Cas. Infection of Cas(-/-) cells is also impaired, and reconstitution of invasiveness requires the central Cas YXXP repeat domain. The invasion defect in Cas(-/-) cells can be suppressed by overexpression of FAK, suggesting a functional link between FAK and Cas in the regulation of Salmonella invasion. Together, these findings reveal a novel role for focal adhesion proteins in the invasion of host cells by Salmonella.

Role of the caspase-1 inflammasome in Salmonella typhimurium pathogenesis.

Project description:Caspase-1 is activated by a variety of stimuli after the assembly of the "inflammasome," an activating platform made up of a complex of the NOD-LRR family of proteins. Caspase-1 is required for the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18, and is involved in the control of many bacterial infections. Paradoxically, however, its absence has been reported to confer resistance to oral infection by Salmonella typhimurium. We show here that absence of caspase-1 or components of the inflammasome does not result in resistance to oral infection by S. typhimurium, but rather, leads to increased susceptibility to infection.

HilD and PhoP independently regulate the expression of grhD1, a novel gene required for Salmonella Typhimurium invasion of host cells.

Project description:When Salmonella is grown in the nutrient-rich lysogeny broth (LB), the AraC-like transcriptional regulator HilD positively controls the expression of genes required for Salmonella invasion of host cells, such as the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) genes. However, in minimal media, the two-component system PhoP/Q activates the expression of genes necessary for Salmonella replication inside host cells, such as the SPI-2 genes. Recently, we found that the SL1344_1872 hypothetical gene, located in a S. Typhimurium genomic island, is co-expressed with the SPI-1 genes. In this study we demonstrate that HilD induces indirectly the expression of SL1344_1872 when S. Typhimurium is grown in LB; therefore, we named SL1344_1872 as grhD1 for gene regulated by HilD. Furthermore, we found that PhoP positively controls the expression of grhD1, independently of HilD, when S. Typhimurium is grown in LB or N-minimal medium. Moreover, we demonstrate that the grhD1 gene is required for the invasion of S. Typhimurium into epithelial cells, macrophages and fibroblasts, as well as for the intestinal inflammatory response caused by S. Typhimurium in mice. Thus, our results reveal a novel virulence factor of Salmonella, whose expression is positively and independently controlled by the HilD and PhoP transcriptional regulators.

<i>Salmonella</i> Promotes Its Own Survival in B Cells by Inhibiting Autophagy.

Project description:Salmonella is a Gram-negative bacterium known to be the major cause of gastrointestinal diseases and systemic infections. During infection of murine B cells, Salmonella activates the PI3K/Akt pathway through its effector, SopB. This signaling pathway induces the downregulation of NLRC4 transcription, resulting in reduced secretion of IL-1β. Thus, Salmonella-infected B cells do not progress to pyroptosis; consequently, the bacteria can survive inside these cells. However, the mechanism by which Salmonella evades the control of B cells has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we found that SopB activates mTORC1, which is necessary for bacterial survival, since B cells cultured with the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin and B cells lacking raptor can control Salmonella infection. A similar result was observed in B cells when they were infected with the Salmonella SopB mutant (Δsopb). Salmonella also promoted the phosphorylation of the ULK1 complex at serine 757 (Ser757) by mTORC1, resulting in decreased levels of LC3-II in infected B cells. In this study, we did not observe these results when B cells were infected with Δsopb Salmonella. Our results demonstrated that Salmonella survival within B cells depends on the inhibition of autophagy by mTORC1 activation.

Novel Role of VisP and the Wzz System during O-Antigen Assembly in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Pathogenesis.

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovars are associated with diarrhea and gastroenteritis and are a helpful model for understanding host-pathogen mechanisms. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium regulates the distribution of O antigen (OAg) and presents a trimodal distribution based on Wzy polymerase and the WzzST (long-chain-length OAg [L-OAg]) and WzzfepE (very-long-chain-length OAg [VL-OAg]) copolymerases; however, several mechanisms regulating this process remain unclear. Here, we report that LPS modifications modulate the infectious process and that OAg chain length determination plays an essential role during infection. An increase in VL-OAg is dependent on Wzy polymerase, which is promoted by a growth condition resembling the environment of Salmonella-containing vacuoles (SCVs). The virulence- and stress-related periplasmic protein (VisP) participates in OAg synthesis, as a ΔvisP mutant presents a semirough OAg phenotype. The ΔvisP mutant has greatly decreased motility and J774 macrophage survival in a colitis model of infection. Interestingly, the phenotype is restored after mutation of the wzzST or wzzfepE gene in a ΔvisP background. Loss of both the visP and wzzST genes promotes an imbalance in flagellin secretion. L-OAg may function as a shield against host immune systems in the beginning of an infectious process, and VL-OAg protects bacteria during SCV maturation and facilitates intramacrophage replication. Taken together, these data highlight the roles of OAg length in generating phenotypes during S Typhimurium pathogenesis and show the periplasmic protein VisP as a novel protein in the OAg biosynthesis pathway.
