Renal collecting duct epithelial cells react to pyelonephritis-associated Escherichia coli by activating distinct TLR4-dependent and -independent inflammatory pathways.
TLR4 plays a central role in resistance to pyelonephritis caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). It has been suggested that renal tubule epithelial cells expressing TLRs may play a key role in inflammatory disorders and in initiating host defenses. In this study we used an experimental mouse model of ascending urinary tract infection to show that UPEC isolates preferentially adhered t...
متن کاملTLR4 facilitates translocation of bacteria across renal collecting duct cells.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most frequent causes of urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Renal medullary collecting duct (MCD) cells are the intrarenal site to which UPEC strains prefer to adhere and initiate an inflammatory response, but the ability of UPEC strains to translocate across impermeant MCD cells has not been demonstrated definitively. Here, several UPEC st...
متن کاملCyclosporine A Impairs Nucleotide Binding Oligomerization Domain (Nod1)-Mediated Innate Antibacterial Renal Defenses in Mice and Human Transplant Recipients
Acute pyelonephritis (APN), which is mainly caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), is the most common bacterial complication in renal transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive treatment. However, it remains unclear how immunosuppressive drugs, such as the calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporine A (CsA), decrease renal resistance to UPEC. Here, we investigated the effects of CsA in ...
متن کاملToll-like receptors and renal bacterial infections.
Urinary tract infection and pyelonephritis are mainly due to uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), and are common infectious diseases that constitute a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. They are also the most frequent infectious complications in renal transplant patients, and can impair long-term renal graft function and outcome. UPEC may invade the kidneys via the system...
متن کاملContribution of renal tubule epithelial cells in the innate immune response during renal bacterial infections and ischemia-reperfusion injury.
The epithelial cells that line the renal tubule are sometimes severely injured in the course of inflammatory kidney diseases. These renal tubule epithelial cells (RTECs) express some of the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) of the innate immune system. A number of studies have implicated RTECs, together with bone marrow-derived cells, in triggering an innate immune response to bacterial infection and/...
