Brucella Control of Dendritic Cell Maturation Is Dependent on the TIR-Containing Protein Btp1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brucella is an intracellular pathogen able to persist for long periods of time within the host and establish a chronic disease. We show that soon after Brucella inoculation in intestinal loops, dendritic cells from ileal Peyer's patches become infected and constitute a cell target for this pathogen. In vitro, we found that Brucella replicates within dendritic cells and hinders their functional activation. In addition, we identified a new Brucella protein Btp1, which down-modulates maturation of infected dendritic cells by interfering with the TLR2 signaling pathway. These results show that intracellular Brucella is able to control dendritic cell function, which may have important consequences in the development of chronic brucellosis.

The Effects of Candida Albicans Cell Wall Protein Fraction on Dendritic Cell Maturation
Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...
متن کاملBtpB, a novel Brucella TIR-containing effector protein with immune modulatory functions
Several bacterial pathogens have TIR domain-containing proteins that contribute to their pathogenesis. We identified a second TIR-containing protein in Brucella spp. that we have designated BtpB. We show it is a potent inhibitor of TLR signaling, probably via MyD88. BtpB is a novel Brucella effector that is translocated into host cells and interferes with activation of dendritic cells. In vivo ...

متن کاملBrucella suis prevents human dendritic cell maturation and antigen presentation through regulation of tumor necrosis factor alpha secretion.
Brucella is a facultative intracellular pathogen and the etiological agent of brucellosis. In some cases, human brucellosis results in a persistent infection that may reactivate years after the initial exposure. The mechanisms by which the parasite evades clearance by the immune response to chronically infect its host are unknown. We recently demonstrated that dendritic cells (DCs), which are c...

Background & Aims: Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen presenting cells in induction or polarization of T-dependent immune responses. In cancerous patients, suppressive or detoured immune responses regard to tumor cells, prevent appropriate functions of dendritic cells. Nowadays, in vitro production, expansion and maturation of dendritic cells in presence of safe maturation factors whi...
