Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium binds to HeLa cells via Fim-mediated reversible adhesion and irreversible type three secretion system 1-mediated docking.

چکیده
The food-borne pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium invades mammalian epithelial cells. This multistep process comprises bacterial binding to the host cell, activation of the Salmonella type three secretion system 1 (T1), injection of effector proteins, triggering of host cell actin rearrangements, and S. Typhimurium entry. While the latter steps are well understood, much less is known about the initial binding step. Earlier work had implicated adhesins (but not T1) or T1 (but not other adhesins). We have studied here the Salmonella virulence factors mediating S. Typhimurium binding to HeLa cells. Using an automated microscopy assay and isogenic S. Typhimurium mutants, we analyzed the role of T1 and of several known adhesins (Fim, Pef, Lpf, Agf, and Shd) in host cell binding. In wild-type S. Typhimurium, host cell binding was mostly attributable to T1. However, in the absence of T1, Fim (but not Pef, Lpf, Agf, and Shd) also mediated HeLa cell binding. Furthermore, in the absence of T1 and type I fimbriae (Fim), we still observed residual binding, pointing toward at least one additional, unidentified binding mechanism. Dissociation experiments established that T1-mediated binding was irreversible ("docking"), while Fim-mediated binding was reversible ("reversible adhesion"). Finally, we show that noninvasive bacteria docking via T1 or adhering via Fim can efficiently invade HeLa cells, if actin rearrangements are triggered in trans by a wild-type S. Typhimurium helper strain. Our data show that binding to HeLa cells is mediated by at least two different mechanisms and that both can lead to invasion if actin rearrangements are triggered.

The autoinducer-3 (AI-3)/epinephrine (Epi)/norepinephrine (NE) interkingdom signaling system mediates chemical communication between bacteria and their mammalian hosts. The three signals are sensed by the QseC histidine kinase (HK) sensor. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a pathogen that uses HKs to sense its environment and regulate virulence. Salmonella serovar Typhimurium invades e...

One of the essential features of all pathogenic strains of Salmonella enterica is the ability to enter into nonphagocytic cells.

Expression of components and substrates of this system is subject to complex regulatory mechanisms. These mechanisms include a number of specific a...
