Typhoid fever, caused by S. Typhi, is responsible for approximately 200,000 deaths per year worldwide. Little information is available regarding epithelium-bacterial interactions in S. Typhi infection. We have evaluated in vitro the effects of wild-type S. Typhi, the licensed Ty21a typhoid vaccine and the leading strains CVD 908-htrA and CVD 909 vaccine candidates on intestinal barrier function and immune response. Caco2 monolayers infected with wild-type S. Typhi exhibited alterations in the organization of tight junctions, increased paracellular permeability, and a rapid decrease in Trans-Epithelial Electrical Resistance as early as 4 h post-exposure. S. Typhi triggered the secretion of interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6. Caco2 cells infected with the attenuated strains exhibited a milder pro-inflammatory response with minimal disruption of the barrier integrity. We conclude that wild-type S. Typhi causes marked transient alterations of the intestinal mucosa that are more pronounced than those observed with Ty21a or new generation attenuated typhoid vaccine candidates.
伤寒由伤寒沙门氏菌引起,每年导致全球约 20 万人死亡。关于伤寒沙门氏菌感染中上皮细胞与细菌的相互作用,目前相关信息有限。我们已在体外评估了野生型伤寒沙门氏菌、经许可的 Ty21a 伤寒疫苗以及主要的 CVD 908-htrA 和 CVD 909 疫苗候选株对肠道屏障功能和免疫应答的影响。感染野生型伤寒沙门氏菌的 Caco2 单层细胞表现出紧密连接结构紊乱、细胞旁通透性增加以及跨上皮电阻快速下降,这在暴露后 4 小时即可出现。伤寒沙门氏菌引发白细胞介素(IL)-8 和 IL-6 的分泌。减毒菌株感染 Caco2 细胞后,促炎反应较轻,对屏障完整性的破坏最小。综上,我们得出结论,野生型伤寒沙门氏菌会导致肠道黏膜发生明显的短暂改变,其严重程度超过 Ty21a 或新一代减毒伤寒疫苗候选株。
