Coxiella burnetii survival in THP-1 monocytes involves the impairment of phagosome maturation: IFN-gamma mediates its restoration and bacterial killing.
The subversion of microbicidal functions of macrophages by intracellular pathogens is critical for their survival and pathogenicity. The replication of Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever, in acidic phagolysosomes of nonphagocytic cells has been considered as a paradigm of intracellular life of bacteria. We show in this study that C. burnetii survival in THP-1 monocytes was not related to p...
متن کاملLink between impaired maturation of phagosomes and defective Coxiella burnetii killing in patients with chronic Q fever.
Q fever is caused by Coxiella burnetii, a bacterium that survives in monocytes/macrophages by resisting their natural microbicidal activity. Because the link between bacterial killing and phagosome maturation has yet to be demonstrated, we evaluated responses in monocytes from both immunologically naive control subjects and patients with various manifestations of Q fever. Monocytes from patient...
متن کاملCoxiella burnetii survives in monocytes from patients with Q fever endocarditis: involvement of tumor necrosis factor.
Endocarditis is the most frequent form of chronic Q fever, an infectious disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. As this obligate intracellular bacterium inhabits monocytes and macrophages, we wondered if pathogenesis of Q fever endocarditis is related to defective intracellular killing of C. burnetii by monocytes. Monocytes from healthy controls eliminated virulent C. burnetii within 3 days. In c...
متن کاملIFN-gamma-induced apoptosis and microbicidal activity in monocytes harboring the intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii require membrane TNF and homotypic cell adherence.
IFN-gamma is critical for the protection against intracellular bacteria through activation of the antimicrobial machinery of phagocytes. Coxiella burnetii, the etiological agent of Q fever, is a strictly intracellular bacterium that inhabits monocytes/macrophages. We previously showed that IFN-gamma induced C. burnetii killing by promoting the apoptosis of infected monocytes. We show in this st...
متن کاملInterleukin-10 stimulates Coxiella burnetii replication in human monocytes through tumor necrosis factor down-modulation: role in microbicidal defect of Q fever.
Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intracellular bacterium, is the agent of Q fever. The chronic form of the disease is associated with the overproduction of interleukin-10 and deficient C. burnetii killing by monocytes. We hypothesized that the replication of C. burnetii inside monocytes requires a macrophage-deactivating cytokine such as interleukin-10. In the absence of interleukin-10, C. burnet...
