Orientia tsutsugamushi inhibits apoptosis of macrophages by retarding intracellular calcium release.
Orientia tsutsugamushi shows both pro- and antiapoptotic activities in infected vertebrate cells. Apoptosis of THP-1 cells induced by beauvericin was inhibited by O. tsutsugamushi infection. Beauvericin-induced calcium redistribution was significantly reduced and retarded in cells infected with O. tsutsugamushi. Antiapoptotic activities of O. tsutsugamushi in infected cells are most probably du...
متن کاملStabilizing Microtubular Network Facilitates the Intracellular Growth of Orientia tsutsugamushi
Microtubule network provides many intracellular microbes with an efficient way to move within host cells. Orientia tsutsugamushi move from the cell periphery to the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) by dynein-dependent mechanism. In this study, we investigated the role of microtubule on the growth of O. tsutsugamushi. The treatment of infected cells with taxol as well as daunomycin enhanced ...
متن کاملOrientia tsutsugamushi: A neglected but fascinating obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen
Our understanding of the molecular systems that bacteria have developed over millennia of evolutionary tinkering remains limited compared with the incredible diversity of the bacterial kingdom. A detailed understanding of the tricks and tools developed by the bacterial world provides insights into fundamental processes in biology (e.g., transcriptional networks), provides researchers with inspi...
متن کاملCanine Orientia tsutsugamushi infeCtion
A lethargic household dog was referred to a private hospital in Japan. Diagnosis was carried out by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method developed for human Orientia tsutsugamushi infection using the dog’s anticoagulated peripheral blood. Karp, Kato and Kuroki-type genomes were detected and the dog was diagnosed with O. tsutsugamushi infection. These findings demonstrate that dogs can act...
متن کاملIntracellular invasion by Orientia tsutsugamushi is mediated by integrin signaling and actin cytoskeleton rearrangements.
Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, is an obligate intracellular pathogen. Previously, we reported that the 56-kDa type-specific antigen (TSA56), a major outer membrane protein of O. tsutsugamushi, binds to fibronectin and facilitates bacterial entry into the host cell, potentially via an interaction with integrins. Here, we demonstrated that O. tsutsugamushi colocalize...
