Burkholderia pseudomallei rpoS mediates iNOS suppression in human hepatocyte (HC04) cells

چکیده
Burkholderia pseudomallei is an intracellular Gram-negative bacterial pathogen and the causative agent of melioidosis, a widespread disease in Southeast Asia. Reactive nitrogen, in an intermediate form of nitric oxide (NO), is one of the first lines of defense used by host cells to eliminate intracellular pathogens, through the stimulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Studies in phagocytotic cells have shown that the iNOS response is muted in B. pseudomallei infection, and implicated the rpoS sigma factor as a key regulatory factor mediating suppression. The liver is a main visceral organ affected by B. pseudomallei, and there is little knowledge about the interaction of liver cells and B. pseudomallei This study investigated the induction of iNOS, as well as autophagic flux and light-chain 3 (LC3) localization in human liver (HC04) cells in response to infection with B. pseudomallei and its rpoS deficient mutant. Results showed that the rpoS mutant was unable to suppress iNOS induction and that the mutant showed less induction of autophagy and lower co-localization with LC3, and this was coupled with a lower intracellular growth rate. Combining these results suggest that B. pseudomallei rpoS is an important factor in establishing infection in liver cells.

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis. This bacterium can invade and survive inside the phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells. After internalization, the bacteria can escape from the membrane-bound phagosome into the cytoplasm. Internalised B. pseudomallei can also induce a cell-to-cell fusion, resulting in a multinucleated giant cell (MNGC) formation. In the present stud...

Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a life-threatening disease that affects both humans and animals. This bacterium is able to survive and multiply inside both phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells. We recently reported that mouse macrophages infected with B. pseudomallei fail to produce a significant level of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a crucial enzyme ne...

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is a facultative intracellular Gram-negative bacillus which can survive and multiply in both phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells. This bacterium could also induce apoptosis in various cell types. In the present study, we extend our finding to demonstrate the role of RpoS of B. pseudomallei in apoptosis induction. Unlike the wild-type...

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is a facultative intracellular gram-negative bacterium that is able to survive and multiply in macrophages. Previously, we reported that B. pseudomallei was able to escape macrophage killing by interfering with the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). In the present study, we extended this finding and demonstrated t...

The Gram-negative facultative intracellular rod Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis, an infectious disease with a wide range of clinical presentations. Among the observed visceral abscesses, the liver is commonly affected. However, neither this organotropism of B. pseudomallei nor local hepatic defense mechanisms have been thoroughly investigated so far. Own previous studies using elec...
