Leptospiral outer membrane protein induces extracellular matrix accumulation through a TGF-beta1/Smad-dependent pathway.
Leptospirosis is an underestimated cause of renal failure in Taiwan and elsewhere. The consequence of leptospira-induced acute tubulointerstitial nephritis is tubulointerstitial fibrosis if left untreated. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of an outer membrane protein (OMP) of Leptospira santarosai serovar Shermani on extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in proximal tubular cell...
متن کاملThe Leptospira outer membrane protein LipL32 induces tubulointerstitial nephritis-mediated gene expression in mouse proximal tubule cells.
Tubulointerstitial nephritis is a main renal manifestation caused by pathogenic leptospira that accumulate mostly in the proximal tubules, thereby inducing tubular injury and tubulointerstitial nephritis. To elucidate the role of leptospira outer membrane proteins in tubulointerstitial nephritis, outer membrane proteins from pathogenic Leptospira shermani and nonpathogenic Leptospira patoc extr...
متن کاملIdentification Leptospira santarosai serovar shermani specific sequences by suppression subtractive hybridization.
In Taiwan, leptospirosis is caused mainly by Leptospira santarosai serovar shermani. Suppression subtractive hybridization was employed to isolate DNA fragments present in pathogenic L. santarosai serovar shermani but absent in non-pathogenic L. biflexa serovar patoc. Analysis of 23 subtracted DNA clones revealed 25 gene fragments by BLASTX program. Eight clones showed similarity to transposase...
متن کاملLeptospira surface adhesin (Lsa21) induces Toll like receptor 2 and 4 mediated inflammatory responses in macrophages
Leptospirosis is zoonotic and emerging infectious disease of global importance. Little is understood about Leptospira pathogenesis and host immune response. In the present work we have investigated how Leptospira modulates the host innate immune response mediated by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) via surface exposed proteins. We screened Leptospira outer membrane/surface proteins for their ability ...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 4 protects against lethal Leptospira interrogans serovar icterohaemorrhagiae infection and contributes to in vivo control of leptospiral burden.
The roles of innate immune responses in protection from or pathogenesis of severe leptospirosis remain unclear. We examined the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in mouse infection and macrophage responses to Leptospira. C3H/HeJ mice (TLR4 deficient) and C3H/HeJ-SCID mice, but not C3H/OuJ mice (TLR4 intact), died after intraperitoneal infection with Leptospira interrogans serovar Icterohaemorr...
