Fas-mediated inflammatory response in Listeria monocytogenes infection.

چکیده
The molecular mechanisms of Fas (CD95/Apo-1)-mediated apoptosis are increasingly understood. However, the role of Fas-mediated production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-18 and IL-1β in bacterial infection is unclear. We demonstrate the importance of Fas-mediated signaling in IL-18/IL-1β production postinfection with Listeria monocytogenes without the contribution of caspase-1 inflammasome. IL-18/IL-1β production in L. monocytogenes-infected peritoneal exudate cells from Fas-deficient mice was lower than those from wild type mice, indicating that Fas signaling contributes to cytokine production. L. monocytogenes infection induced Fas ligand expression on NK cells, which stimulates Fas expressed on the infected macrophages, leading to the production of IL-18/IL-1β. This was independent of caspase-1, caspase-11, and nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing receptors (NLRs) such as Nlrp3 and Nlrc4, but dependent on apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain. Wild type cells exhibited caspase-8 activation, whereas Fas-deficient cells did not. L. monocytogenes-induced caspase-8 activation was abrogated by inhibitor for intracellular reactive oxygen species, N-acetyl-L-cysteine. L. monocytogenes-infected macrophages produced type-I IFNs such as IFN-β1, which was required for Il18 gene expression. Thus, Fas signaling regulates innate inflammatory cytokine production in L. monocytogenes infection.

متن کاملMutation in the Fas pathway impairs CD8+ T cell memory.
Fas death pathway is important for lymphocyte homeostasis, but the role of Fas pathway in T cell memory development is not clear. We show that whereas the expansion and contraction of CD8+ T cell response against Listeria monocytogenes were similar for wild-type (WT) and Fas ligand (FasL) mutant mice, the majority of memory CD8+ T cells in FasL mutant mice displayed an effector memory phenotype...

In this study we propose a novel bacterial vaccine strategy where non-pathogenic bacteria are complemented with traits desirable for the induction of protective immunity. To illustrate the proof of principle of this novel vaccination strategy, we use the model organism of intracellular immunity Listeria. We introduced a, low copy number BAC-plasmid harbouring the virulence gene cluster (vgc) of...

Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular pathogen capable of inducing a robust cell-mediated immune response to sub-lethal infection. The capacity of L. monocytogenes to escape from the phagosome and enter the host cell cytosol is paramount for the induction of long-lived CD8 T cell-mediated protective immunity. Here, we show that the impaired T cell response to L. monocytogenes co...
