چکیده

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to invade epithelial cells during infection and in vitro. However, little is known of bacterial or epithelial factors modulating P. aeruginosa intracellular survival or replication after invasion, except that it requires a complete lipopolysaccharide core. In this study, real-time video microscopy revealed that invasive P. aeruginosa isolates induced the formation of membrane blebs in multiple epithelial cell types and that these were then exploited for intracellular replication and rapid real-time motility. Further studies revealed that the type three secretion system (T3SS) of P. aeruginosa was required for blebbing. Mutants lacking either the entire T3SS or specific T3SS components were instead localized to intracellular perinuclear vacuoles. Most T3SS mutants that trafficked to perinuclear vacuoles gradually lost intracellular viability, and vacuoles containing those bacteria were labeled by the late endosomal marker lysosome-associated marker protein 3 (LAMP-3). Interestingly, mutants deficient only in the T3SS translocon structure survived and replicated within the vacuoles that did not label with LAMP-3. Taken together, these data suggest two novel roles of the P. aeruginosa T3SS in enabling bacterial intracellular survival: translocon-dependent formation of membrane blebs, which form a host cell niche for bacterial growth and motility, and effector-dependent bacterial survival and replication within intracellular perinuclear vacuoles.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa-Induced Bleb-Niche Formation in Epithelial Cells Is Independent of Actinomyosin Contraction and Enhanced by Loss of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane-Conductance Regulator Osmoregulatory Function

UNLABELLED The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa can infect almost any site in the body but most often targets epithelial cell-lined tissues such as the airways, skin, and the cornea of the eye. A common predisposing factor is cystic fibrosis (CF), caused by defects in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane-conductance regulator (CFTR). Previously, we showed that when P. aeruginosa enter...

Soluble uric acid induces inflammation via TLR4/NLRP3 pathway in intestinal epithelial cells

Objective(s): Hyperuricemia is a risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, but the mechanism is ambiguous. Increased intestinal permeability is correlated with metabolic syndrome risk factors. Intestinal epithelial cells play a pivotal role in maintaining intestinal permeability. Uric acid is directly eliminated into intestinal lumen, however, the mechanism and e...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Utilizes the Type III Secreted Toxin ExoS to Avoid Acidified Compartments within Epithelial Cells

Invasive Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) can enter epithelial cells wherein they mediate formation of plasma membrane bleb-niches for intracellular compartmentalization. This phenotype, and capacity for intracellular replication, requires the ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPr) activity of ExoS, a PA type III secretion system (T3SS) effector protein. Thus, PA T3SS mutants lack these capacities and instea...

Membrane tether formation from blebbing cells.

Membrane tension has been proposed to be important in regulating cell functions such as endocytosis and cell motility. The apparent membrane tension has been calculated from tether forces measured with laser tweezers. Both membrane-cytoskeleton adhesion and membrane tension contribute to the tether force. Separation of the plasma membrane from the cytoskeleton occurs in membrane blebs, which co...

PilY1 Promotes Legionella pneumophila Infection of Human Lung Tissue Explants and Contributes to Bacterial Adhesion, Host Cell Invasion, and Twitching Motility

Legionnaires' disease is an acute fibrinopurulent pneumonia. During infection Legionella pneumophila adheres to the alveolar lining and replicates intracellularly within recruited macrophages. Here we provide a sequence and domain composition analysis of the L. pneumophila PilY1 protein, which has a high homology to PilY1 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PilY1 proteins of both pathogens contain a von...
