To better understand the evolution of a systemic memory response to a mucosal pathogen, we monitored antigen-specific OT1 CD8 T-cell responses to a fusion of the SspH2 protein and the peptide SIINFEKL stably expressed from the chromosome of Salmonella enterica and loaded into the class I pathway of antigen presentation of professional phagocytes through the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 type III secretion system (TTSS). This strategy has revealed that effector memory CD8 T cells with low levels of CD62L expression (CD62L(low)) are maintained in systemic sites months after vaccination in response to low-grade infections with Salmonella. However, the CD8 T-cell pool eventually declines. Low numbers of central memory cells surviving after prolonged resting from an antigen encounter can nevertheless reconstitute the systemic effector memory pool in a route-specific recall response to cognate antigens encountered in the gut. Accordingly, populations of CD62L(high) interleukin-7 receptor-positive progenitor central memory cells grafted into na?ve mice expand in response to orally administered Salmonella expressing the chromosomal translational fusion of sspH2 and the sequence encoding the SIINFEKL peptide but fail to proliferate following systemic stimulation. Moreover, populations of systemic memory CD8 T cells restricted to Salmonella in oral vaccines selectively expand in response to cognate antigens presented by cells isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN). Together, these findings have revealed the imprinting of systemic CD8 central memory T-cell recall responses against enteropathogens by MLN. MLN restriction represents a novel mechanism by which systemic CD8 T-cell immunity is confined to periods of high risk for extraintestinal dissemination. 相似文献

The type III secretion system (T3SS) encoded by the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) has a central role in systemic infections by Salmonella enterica and for the intracellular phenotype. Intracellular S. enterica uses the SPI2-encoded T3SS to translocate a set of effector proteins into the host cell, which modify host cell functions, enabling intracellular survival and replication of the bacteria. We sought to determine whether specific functions of the SPI2-encoded T3SS can be transferred to heterologous hosts Salmonella bongori and Escherichia coli Mutaflor, species that lack the SPI2 locus and loci encoding effector proteins. The SPI2 virulence locus was cloned and functionally expressed in S. bongori and E. coli. Here, we demonstrate that S. bongori harboring the SPI2 locus is capable of secretion of SPI2 substrate proteins under culture conditions, as well as of translocation of effector proteins under intracellular conditions. An SPI2-mediated cellular phenotype was induced by S. bongori harboring the SPI2 if the sifA locus was cotransferred. An interference with the host cell microtubule cytoskeleton, a novel SPI2-dependent phenotype, was observed in epithelial cells infected with S. bongori harboring SPI2 without additional effector genes. S. bongori harboring SPI2 showed increased intracellular persistence in a cell culture model, but SPI2 transfer was not sufficient to confer to S. bongori systemic pathogenicity in a murine model. Transfer of SPI2 to heterologous hosts offers a new tool for the study of SPI2 functions and the phenotypes of individual effectors. 相似文献

Salmonella enterica subspecies 1 serovar Typhimurium (serovar Typhimurium) induces enterocolitis in humans and cattle. The mechanisms of enteric salmonellosis have been studied most extensively in calf infection models. The previous studies established that effector protein translocation into host cells via the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) type III secretion system (TTSS) is of central importance in serovar Typhimurium enterocolitis. We recently found that orally streptomycin-pretreated mice provide an alternative model for serovar Typhimurium colitis. In this model the SPI-1 TTSS also plays a key role in the elicitation of intestinal inflammation. However, whether intestinal inflammation in calves and intestinal inflammation in streptomycin-pretreated mice are induced by the same SPI-1 effector proteins is still unclear. Therefore, we analyzed the role of the SPI-1 effector proteins SopB/SigD, SopE, SopE2, and SipA/SspA in elicitation of intestinal inflammation in the murine model. We found that sipA, sopE, and, to a lesser degree, sopE2 contribute to murine colitis, but we could not assign an inflammation phenotype to sopB. These findings are in line with previous studies performed with orally infected calves. Extending these observations, we demonstrated that in addition to SipA, SopE and SopE2 can induce intestinal inflammation independent of each other and in the absence of SopB. In conclusion, our data corroborate the finding that streptomycin-pretreated mice provide a useful model for studying the molecular mechanisms of serovar Typhimurium colitis and are an important starting point for analysis of the molecular events triggered by SopE, SopE2, and SipA in vivo. 相似文献

The function of a type III secretion system (T3SS) encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) is essential for the intracellular lifestyle of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Expression of SPI2 genes is induced within the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) inside host cells and is controlled by the SsrAB two-component system. However, the nature of the signals leading to expression of SPI2 genes is controversial. Here we report that expression of SPI2 genes can be induced independently by two different environmental stimuli. Exposure of bacteria to slightly acidic pH was sufficient to induce a rapid up-regulation of SPI2 genes. In contrast, limitation of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) in the growth media led to activation of SPI2 genes in the late exponential growth phase and was independent of the media pH. Limitation of P(i) induced an over-expression of sensor protein SsrB. Response to both environmental stimuli required a functional SsrAB system. In vivo analyses indicated that limitation of P(i) is also encountered by intracellular Salmonella. Our observations allow the integration of previous disparate reports on the induction of SPI2 genes. 相似文献

Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum is a host-specific serotype that causes the severe systemic disease fowl typhoid in domestic poultry and a narrow range of other avian species but rarely causes disease in mammalian hosts. Specificity of the disease is primarily at the level of the reticuloendothelial system, but few virulence factors have been described other than the requirement for an 85-kb virulence plasmid. In this work, by making functional mutations in the type III secretion systems (TTSS) encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) and SPI-2, we investigated the role of these pathogenicity islands in interactions between Salmonella serovar Gallinarum and avian cells in vitro and the role of these pathogenicity islands in virulence in chickens. The SPI-1 mutant showed decreased invasiveness into avian cells in vitro but was unaffected in its ability to persist within chicken macrophages. In contrast the SPI-2 mutant was fully invasive in nonphagocytic cells but failed to persist in macrophages. In chicken infections the SPI-2 mutant was attenuated while the SPI-1 mutant showed full virulence. In oral infections the SPI-2 mutant was not observed in the spleen or liver, and following intravenous inoculation it was cleared rapidly from these sites. SPI-2 function is required by Salmonella serovar Gallinarum for virulence, primarily through promoting survival within macrophages allowing multiplication within the reticuloendothelial system, but this does not preclude the involvement of SPI-2 in uptake from the gut to the spleen and liver. SPI-1 appears to have little effect on virulence and survival of Salmonella serovar Gallinarum in the host. 相似文献

A number of bacteria that are pathogenic for animals and plants possess a type III secretion system (TTSS) to translocate virulence-associated proteins into host cells. In several bacteria, it has been reported that the TTSS is correlated with an ability to cause contact-dependent hemolysis in vitro. Here, we showed that the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain SL1344 exhibited Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 type III secretion-dependent, contact-mediated, hemolytic activity. Mutations with a single deletion in genes encoding putative pore-forming proteins, SipB and SipC, secreted by the TTSS abolished hemolytic activity. In addition, the osmoprotection studies revealed that molecules larger than PEG2000 conferred significant protection against lysis induced by Salmonella. These results indicate that the hemolysis generated by Salmonella is due to the formation of pores within the erythrocyte membrane. 相似文献

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium infection of chickens is a major public and animal health problem. In young chicks, S. Typhimurium infection results in severe systemic infection; in older chicks, infection results in prolonged gastrointestinal tract colonization. Here we determined the role of the Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1) and Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2) type III secretion systems in systemic infection and gastrointestinal tract colonization of the chicken though experimental infection of chicks with a S. Typhimurium strain with mutations in the genes encoding the secretion system machinery of SPI-1 (spaS) and SPI-2 (ssaU) that prevent secretion of effector proteins. In 1-day-old chicks, mutation of SPI-2 lead to a decrease in both systemic bacterial numbers and pathology, although no difference in gastrointestinal numbers was observed. Mutation of SPI-1 had little effect in 1-day old chicks. In 1-week-old animals the SPI-2 mutants could not be detected systemically and colonized the gastrointestinal tract only in low numbers in comparison with the parent strain, and was cleared in 1 week. The SPI-1 mutant showed greatly reduced levels of systemic infection, and colonized the gastrointestinal tract at a lower level than the parent strain. The findings show that the SPI-2 type III secretion system is required for systemic S. Typhimurium infection in both infection models, and that it plays a significant role in gastrointestinal colonization. The SPI-1 system is involved in both systemic infection and gastrointestinal colonization, but does not appear absolutely essential for either infection process. 相似文献

Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2) is required for intramacrophage survival and systemic infection in mice. We have recently reported that Salmonella enterica causes activation of the protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway in a manner dependent on SPI-2, resulting in the upregulation of interleukin-10 expression in macrophages (K. Uchiya et al., Infect. Immun. 72:1964-1973, 2004). We show in the present study the involvement of SPI-2 in a signal transduction pathway that induces the expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), an inducible enzyme involved in the synthesis of prostanoids. High levels of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and prostacyclin (PGI(2)), which are known to activate the PKA signaling pathway via their receptors, were induced in J774 macrophages infected with wild-type Salmonella compared to a strain carrying a mutation in the spiC gene, located within SPI-2. The increased production of both prostanoids was dependent on COX-2. COX-2 expression was dose dependently blocked by treatment with a specific inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathway, and the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 was higher in macrophages infected with wild-type Salmonella compared to the spiC mutant. Taken together, these results indicate that Salmonella causes an SPI-2-dependent ERK1/2 activation that leads to increased COX-2 expression, resulting in the upregulation of PGE(2) and PGI(2) production in macrophages. A COX-2 inhibitor inhibited not only Salmonella-induced activation of the PKA signaling pathway but also growth of wild-type Salmonella within macrophages, suggesting that Salmonella utilizes the COX-2 pathway to survive within macrophages and that the mechanism involves activation of the PKA signaling pathway. 相似文献

Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI2) can encode type III secretion system 2 (T3SS2) which plays an important role in systemic disease development through delivering different effector proteins into host cells. Here, the influence of Salmonella Pullorum pathogenicity island 2 on T3SS2 effector gene expression was studied using qRT-PCR in chicken macrophage HD11 cells. Our results showed that all the detected genes (including pseudogenes sifB, sspH2 and steC) can express in HD11 cells of S. Pullorum infection; deletion of SPI2 of S. Pullorum did not significantly affect the expression of genes cigR, gtgA, slrP, sopD, sseK1, steB and steC, but had a significant effect on the expression of genes pipB2, sifB, sopD2, sseJ, sseL, sspH2, steD, sifA, pipB and steA at different degrees. These results suggest that SPI2 can significantly affect the expression of some T3SS2 effector genes. Some effectors may have secretion pathways other than T3SS2 and pseudogenes may play roles in the process of S. Pullorum infection. 相似文献

We have used signature-tagged mutagenesis to identify mutants of the host-specific Salmonella enterica serotype Dublin which were avirulent in calves and/or BALB/c mice. A mutant with a transposon insertion in the sseD gene of Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI-2), which encodes a putative secreted effector protein, was identified. This mutant was recovered from the bovine host but not from the murine host following infection with a pool of serotype Dublin mutants. However, a pure inoculum of the sseD mutant was subsequently shown to be attenuated in calves following infection either by the intravenous route or by the oral route. The sseD mutant was fully invasive for bovine intestinal mucosa but was subsequently unable to proliferate to the same numbers as the parental strain in vivo. Both the sseD mutant and a second SPI-2 mutant, with a transposon insertion in the ssaT gene, induced significantly weaker secretory and inflammatory responses in bovine ligated ileal loops than did the parental strain. These results demonstrate that SPI-2 is required by serotype Dublin for the induction of both systemic and enteric salmonellosis in calves. 相似文献

Salmonella enterica is a facultative intracellular pathogen that is able to modify host cell functions by means of effector proteins translocated by the type III secretion system (T3SS) encoded by Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 2 (SPI2). The SPI2-T3SS is also active in Salmonella after uptake by murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BM-DC). We have previously shown that intracellular Salmonella interfere with the ability of BM-DC to stimulate antigen-dependent T-cell proliferation in an SPI2-T3SS-dependent manner. We observed that Salmonella-mediated inhibition of antigen presentation could be restored by external addition of peptides on major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II). The processing of antigens in Salmonella-infected cells was not altered; however, the intracellular loading of peptides on MHC-II was reduced as a function of the SPI2-T3SS. We set out to identify the effector proteins of the SPI2-T3SS involved in inhibition of antigen presentation and demonstrated that effector proteins SifA, SspH2, SlrP, PipB2, and SopD2 were equally important for the interference with antigen presentation, whereas SseF and SseG contributed to a lesser extent to this phenotype. These observations indicate the presence of a host cell-specific virulence function of a novel subset of SPI2-effector proteins. 相似文献

Functional mutations were made in the type III secretion systems encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI 1) and Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 (SPI 2) of Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum, the cause of pullorum disease in poultry. Their role in cell invasion in vitro , and in virulence in vivo was determined. The SPI 1 mutant showed decreased invasiveness for chicken cells but was capable of causing disease in orally infected 1-day-old chicks, although it showed some reduction in virulence. The SPI 2 mutant showed no reduction in invasiveness, but was fully attenuated for virulence in 1-day-old chicks, and was not detected following oral infection in 1-week-old chickens. Following intravenous infection, the SPI 2 mutant was also attenuated and cleared more rapidly than the parent strain. This indicates that S. Pullorum requires SPI 2 for virulence and persistence but SPI 1 appears to contribute to, but is not essential for, the virulence of S . Pullorum. 相似文献

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) is a public health concern and infected chickens serve as a reservoir that potentially transmits to humans through food. Although SE seldom causes systemic disease in chickens, virulent SE strains can colonize in intestines and lead a persistent infection of the liver. The liver is the primary organ for lipid metabolism in chickens and the site for production and assembly of main components in yolk. We performed a time-course experiment using LMH-2A cells that were infected with SE and co-incubated with β-oestradiol to evaluate if SE infection affected lipid metabolism and subsequently changed lipoprotein formation for egg yolk. The results indicated that lipid accumulation significantly increased in infected LMH-2A cells while the viability of these cells was only slightly decreased. The mRNA expressions of lipid transportation and most lipogenetic genes including sterol regulatory element binding protein 1, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty-acid synthase, long-chain-fatty-acid-CoA ligase 1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) II were significantly up-regulated while the expression of lipogenetic-related stearoyl-CoA denaturase 1 was down-regulated. Moreover, decline in lipid transportation of hepatocytes was evidenced by the down-regulation of oestrogen receptor α which promotes VLDLy formation, an increase of intra-cellular accumulation of Apoprotein B (ApoB) protein, and a decrease of cellular excretion of VLDL protein. Conclusively, SE infection could elevate lipid synthesis and reduce lipid transportation in the chicken hepatocytes. These changes may lead excessive lipid accumulation in liver and slower lipoprotein deposition in yolk. 相似文献

We have identified several environmental isolates of Salmonella senftenberg and S. litchfield which carry a deletion encompassing a vast segment of the centisome 63 region of the Salmonella chromosome. The deletion includes the entire inv, spa, and hil loci, which are required for entry of Salmonella spp. into mammalian cells. Consequently, these isolates were found to be markedly deficient in the ability to enter cultured epithelial cells. In contrast, no deletions were found in the corresponding regions of the chromosomes of clinical isolates of these serovars; consequently, these isolates were found to be highly invasive for cultured epithelial cells. These data confirm the importance of the centisome 63 region of the Salmonella chromosome in mediating the entry of these organisms into cultured mammalian cells and indicate that additional entry pathways are presumably not utilized by these environmental isolates. These results are also consistent with the notion that this region constitutes a pathogenicity island which remains unstable in certain Salmonella serotypes. 相似文献
