Presentation Transcript

  1. SBM 2044: Lecture 11 AIMS: • Introduce invasive Shigella sp • Outline vir genes & mechanisms involved in invasion • of host cells by Shigella • Outline other virulence mechanisms • - apoptosis in macrophages

  2. Shigellosis • Dysentery (bloody stools + pus + mucus; scant volume) • invasion & multiplication in colonic epithelial cells • Transmitted by faecal-oral route • Direct transmission common - low I.D.50 (< 100 cells) • Shigellaacid tolerant • Estimated165 million cases/year > 600,000 deaths • 99% in developing countries; 69% < 5 years old • Complications • Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS; see lecture EHEC) • Reiter’s syndrome: autoimmune reaction - reactive arthritis, conjunctivitis, urethritis

  3. Produces much more Shiga toxin 1000 – 10,000 fold less toxin, in vitro – but in vivo?? Shigella sp. • Gram-negative, non-spore- forming rods • Facultative aerobes • Non-motile • Natural habitat: Humans? • Environment? - faeces, contaminated water, etc) • Four species cause shigellosis - symptoms can range from • mild watery diarrhoea to severe dysentery Shigella dysenteriae Shigella flexneri Shigella boydii Shigella sonnei

  4. Shigella sp. – virulence mechanisms • Production of Shiga toxin • Toxin structure & action – see lecture EHEC • Role in shigellosis - unclear • Animal models: monkeys only • S. dysenteriae Stx mutant still caused dysentery, but less severe & less haemorrhaging • HUS – see lecture 10 E.coli • Invasion & multiplication in colonic epithelial cells • Studied mainly in S. flexneri & tissue cultured cells • Overall similar to Listeria, but details differ

  5. Shigella & EIEC invasion mechanisms • 33 genes required for invasion, including: • ipaA-D: ‘ invasion plasmid antigens’ so-called because proteins • originally detected by patients antisera • ipgA-F: identified by mutagenesis & sequencing, (‘invasion • plasmid genes’) • icsA & icsB: intracellular spread (identified by mutagenesis) • 20 genes encoding a Type III secretion system • - mxi: membrane excretion of Ipa • - spa: surface presentation of inv antigens

  6. Shigella or EIEC: Overview of invasion of host cells Activation of Type III secretion system depolymerisation of actin filaments • Adhesion • IpaA injected into cytoplasm • IpaB + IpaC – needle ‘bulb’ pore, with cytoplasmic active domains • IpaC required for actin polymerisation • IpaD – regulates secretion? a5b1 integrin IpaA/B/C/D Spread Ipa B/C? IcsB Multiply in cytoplasm IcsA

  7. Invasion overview: Entry Distinct from the ‘zipper-phagocytosis’ uptake seen with Listeria & Yersinia – reflects different signalling mechanisms Shigella sp. & Salmonella sp. initiated via Type III secretion Extensive actin polymerisation + membrane perturbations (ruffles) - not confined to immediate vicinity of adhering bacteria ‘signals’ ‘triggered’ phagocytosis

  8. Shigella & EIEC polarized CaCo2 cells via baso-lateral • surfaces only. • Shigella may invade initiallyvia M cells, in vivo Multiplication in enterocytes production of IL-8 Recruits PMNs Cell damage LPS release Inflammation Multiplication in host cells helps Shigella evade PMNs Shigellainduce apoptosis in macrophages & release of proinflammmatory cytokine IL-1b

  9. Recall: Necrosis v apoptosis • Programmed • Suicide pathway activated • Cell shrinks • DNA & nucleus fragment • Membrane changes - phagocytosis • Cell engulfed ‘cleanly’ • Accidential • Injury - cell swells • Osmotic lysis • Contents released into tissues • Triggers inflammation

  10. Apoptosis mediated by proteases called caspases • Family (>12) of cysteine proteases that cleave targets • adjacent to aspartic acid. • Most specific for other procaspases – activate cascade, leading to cleavage of nuclear lamins, DNase inhibitor, • & cytoskeleton components • Some cleave > 1 substrate protein - multiple roles in cell • Caspase-I - cleaves inactive IL-1b precursor to produce active IL-1b, a proinflammatory cytokine = Interleukin 1bconverting enzyme) also called ICE

  11. SBM 2044 Lecture 10 Salmonella : Nontyphoidal and thyphoid fever

  12. Salmonella • Gram negative rods • Motile with peritrichous flagella

  13. Salmonella that infects humans • Salmonella Typhi • Salmonella Choleraesuis • Salmonella Paratyphi A • Salmonella Paratyphi B • Enter host via the oral route, usually with contaminated food or drink.

  14. 4 clinical syndromes, plus the carrier state, are associated with the genus Salmonella • gastroenteritis: nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea; caused mainly by S. enterica • focal infection of vascular endothelium; caused by serovars Choleraesuis and Typhimurium • infections of particular organ systems; osteomyelitis in patients with sickle cell disease; commonly by S. typhimurium • typhoid fever; caused by serovars S. typhi and S. paratyphi A and B.

  15. Salmonella • Vast no. of serological varieties (serovars) • Antigens are distinguishable among serovars: somatic (O), flagellar (H), and capsular (K) • Acid sensitive (hypochlorhydria, achlorhydria) – express > 40 proteins for pathogenesis • A large inoculum is needed to produce a disease (10-100 million organisms)

  17. Entry: • Salmonella enter M cells and the apical membrane of epithelial cells • Ruffling of the plasma membrane – cytoskeletal rearrangement, and uptake of organisms within phagocytic vesicles (BME) • Type III secretion system is encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) • Macrophages might help, leading to dissemination • Into deeper tissue beyond the intestine by intestinal dendritic cells

  18. Damage • Host-epithelial cells interaction activates the inflammatory response and damage to intestinal mucosa • Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)  receptor on the cell surface  phospholipase A2, release arachidonic acid, produce PG+leukotrienes   Ca2+

  19. How do Salmonella survive in macrophages? • Regulation by two-component regulator or signal system, two genes: PhoP and PhoQ • PhoP and PhoQ act to modify the bacterial lipopolysaccharide  hence resistance to innate kiling by host immune system i.e. cationic peptides

  20. Salmonella • http://youtube.com/watch?v=VFGb3RKm-4o • Treatment: • Not antibiotics • Antimicrobial therapy for systemic nontyphoidal Salmonella infection • Typhoid vaccine • Salmonella carriers  jail?
