cellular interactions in a respiratory cell model Free

Abstract

is a facultative intracellular pathogen that survives and replicates in phagocytic cell lines. The bacterial burden recovered from naïve BALB/c mice infected by intranasal delivery indicated that persists in the lower respiratory system. To address whether invades respiratory non-professional phagocytes, this study utilized A549 and LA-4 respiratory epithelial cells and demonstrated that possesses the capacity to adhere poorly to, but not to invade, these cells. Furthermore, it was found that was taken up by the murine alveolar macrophage cell line MH-S following serum coating, an attribute suggestive of complement- or Fc receptor-mediated uptake. Invasion/intracellular survival assays of -infected MH-S cells demonstrated decreased intracellular survival, whilst a type III secretion system effector mutant strain survived longer than the wild-type. Evaluation of the potential mechanism(s) responsible for efficient clearing of intracellular organisms demonstrated comparable levels of caspase-3 in both the wild-type and mutant with characteristics consistent with apoptosis of infected MH-S cells. Furthermore, challenge of BALB/c mice with the mutant by the intranasal route resulted in increased survival. Overall, these data suggest that induces apoptotic cell death, whilst the BopA effector protein participates in intracellular survival.
