The Transcriptome of Legionella pneumophila-Infected Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages
BACKGROUND Legionella pneumophila is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that invades and replicates within alveolar macrophages through injection of ∼ 300 effector proteins by its Dot/Icm type IV translocation apparatus. The bona fide F-box protein, AnkB, is a nutritional virulence effector that triggers macrophages to generate a surplus of amino acids, which is essential for intravacuolar pro...
متن کاملLegionella Pneumophila Transcriptome during Intracellular Multiplication in Human Macrophages
Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, an acute pulmonary infection. L. pneumophila is able to infect and multiply in both phagocytic protozoa, such as Acanthamoeba castellanii, and mammalian professional phagocytes. The best-known L. pneumophila virulence determinant is the Icm/Dot type IVB secretion system, which is used to translocate more than 150 effector p...
متن کاملLegionella pneumophila type II secretion dampens the cytokine response of infected macrophages and epithelia.
The type II secretion (T2S) system of Legionella pneumophila is required for the ability of the bacterium to grow within the lungs of A/J mice. By utilizing mutants lacking T2S (lsp), we now document that T2S promotes the intracellular infection of both multiple types of macrophages and lung epithelia. Following infection of macrophages, lsp mutants (but not a complemented mutant) elicited sign...
متن کاملDirect activation of human monocyte-derived macrophages by a bacterial glycoprotein extract inhibits the intracellular multiplication of virulent Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1.
Intracellular multiplication of virulent Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 was inhibited by human monocyte-derived macrophages activated by a glycoprotein extract of Klebsiella pneumoniae, RU 41.740. Macrophage cultures were infected with L. pneumophila in the presence of immune antibodies on day 7 of culture. Extracellular bacteria were removed an hour after infection, and various concentrati...
متن کاملGenome-wide Chromatin Profiling of Legionella pneumophila-Infected Human Macrophages Reveals Activation of the Probacterial Host Factor TNFAIP2.
BACKGROUND Legionella pneumophila is a causative agent of severe pneumonia. Infection leads to a broad host cell response, as evident, for example, on the transcriptional level. Chromatin modifications, which control gene expression, play a central role in the transcriptional response to L. pneumophila METHODS We infected human-blood-derived macrophages (BDMs) with L. pneumophila and used ch...
