In this study, we demonstrate that the mechanism by which Staphylococcus aureus induces apoptosis in bovine mammary epithelial (MAC-T) cells involves caspases 8 and 3, two key components of a proteolytic cascade leading to apoptosis. In addition, internalized S. aureus induces expression of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-1beta by MAC-T cells. These data suggest that the internalization of S. aureus could induce specific cellular responses in vivo that may ultimately impact the course of infection.
在本研究中,我们证明了金黄色葡萄球菌诱导牛乳腺上皮(MAC-T)细胞凋亡的机制涉及半胱天冬酶8和3,这是导致细胞凋亡的蛋白水解级联反应的两个关键组分。此外,内化的金黄色葡萄球菌可诱导MAC-T细胞表达炎性细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子α和白细胞介素-1β。这些数据表明,金黄色葡萄球菌的内化可能在体内诱导特定的细胞反应,最终可能影响感染进程。
