M protein mediates streptococcal adhesion to HEp-2 cells.
Streptococcus pyogenes adheres to human epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo. To identify adhesins, cell wall components were extracted from S. pyogenes M6 with alkali or by treatment with mutanolysin and lysozyme. HEp-2 cells were incubated with extracts of S. pyogenes M6 and then analyzed by Western blot (immunoblot) assays, using antibodies to S. pyogenes. Only one streptococcal component (...
متن کاملSuperantigenicity of streptococcal M protein
M proteins that define the serotypes of group A streptococci are powerful blastogens for human T lymphocytes. The mechanism by which they activate T cells was investigated and compared with the conventional T cell mitogen phytohemagglutinin, and the known superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Although major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules are required for presentation, ...
متن کاملassociation between efficient adhesion to hep-2 cells and severity of gastritis in helicobacter pylori strains isolated from children
background and objectives: helicobacter pylori causes chronic gastritis, peptic ulceration, and is a risk factor for gastric cancer. more than half of the world`s population is infected with this pathogen, however the disease outcome varies. among the virulence factors of h. pylori, specific adhesions to gastric epithelium may be an important step in the induction of active inflammation. h. pyl...
متن کاملSyndecan-2 mediates adhesion and proliferation of colon carcinoma cells.
Syndecan-2 is a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan whose function at the cell surface is unclear. In this study, we examined the function of syndecan-2 in colon cancer cell lines. In several colon cancer cell lines, syndecan-2 was highly expressed compared with normal cell lines. In contrast, syndecan-1 and -4 were decreased. Cell biological studies using the extracellular domain of rec...
متن کاملRole of plasmid-encoded adherence factors in adhesion of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli to HEp-2 cells.
Plasmid-encoded adherence factors have been shown to be important for the full expression of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) pathogenicity and for EPEC adhesion to cultured HEp-2 cells. EPEC strain E2348 (O127) shows localized HEp-2 cell adhesion and possesses a 60-megadalton plasmid, pMAR2. When E2348 is cured of pMAR2 it loses the ability to adhere to HEp-2 cells, while nonadherent E...
