Abstract

Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) strains are important pathogens for humans and farm animals such as pigs. Porcine ETEC strains induce diarrhea through the production of heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) and/or heat-stable enterotoxins (pSTa/STb). Although LT secretion levels differ between porcine ETEC strains, and this has been linked to virulence, it is unclear whether ST secretion levels also differ between porcine ETEC strains. In addition, the molecular mechanism underlying different LT secretion levels has not been elucidated. In this work, multiple porcine ETEC strains were assessed for their capacity to produce and secrete the enterotoxins LT, pSTa, and STb. The strains differed greatly in their capacity to secrete LT, pSTa, and STb. Remarkably, in some strains, periplasmic production did not correlate with their ability to secrete LT, resulting in high periplasmic production and low LT secretion levels. Furthermore, the results indicated that the type II secretion system (T2SS) protein YghG plays a regulatory role in controlling LT secretion levels. These findings highlight YghG as an important mediator of the secretion of the heat-labile enterotoxin LT by porcine ETEC strains and provide better insights into ETEC enterotoxin secretion. Enterotoxigenic strains are a major health concern. Enterotoxins secreted by enterotoxigenic are crucial for diarrhea induction. Enterotoxin secretion levels differ between strains; however, it is currently unclear what drives these differences. The discrepancy in the production and secretion capacities of enterotoxins in ETEC is important to clarify their function involved in diarrhea induction. Our results further deepen our understanding of how type II secretion system (T2SS) components of ETEC control enterotoxin secretion levels and may lay the foundation for a better understanding of ETEC molecular pathogenesis.

摘要

肠产毒性(ETEC)菌株是人类和农场动物(如猪)的重要病原体。猪源 ETEC 菌株通过产生不耐热肠毒素(LT)和/或热稳定肠毒素(pSTa/STb)引起腹泻。尽管猪源 ETEC 菌株之间 LT 的分泌水平存在差异,并且这与毒力有关,但尚不清楚猪源 ETEC 菌株之间 ST 的分泌水平是否也存在差异。此外,不同 LT 分泌水平的分子机制尚不清楚。在这项工作中,评估了多个猪源 ETEC 菌株产生和分泌肠毒素 LT、pSTa 和 STb 的能力。这些菌株在分泌 LT、pSTa 和 STb 的能力上差异很大。值得注意的是,在一些菌株中,周质内的产生与它们分泌 LT 的能力没有相关性,导致高周质内产生和低 LT 分泌水平。此外,结果表明,II 型分泌系统(T2SS)蛋白 YghG 在控制 LT 分泌水平方面发挥调节作用。这些发现突出了 YghG 作为猪源 ETEC 菌株分泌不耐热肠毒素 LT 的重要介质,并为 ETEC 肠毒素分泌提供了更好的见解。肠产毒性菌株是一个主要的健康关注点。肠产毒性菌株分泌的肠毒素对于腹泻的诱导至关重要。菌株之间的肠毒素分泌水平存在差异;然而,目前尚不清楚是什么驱动了这些差异。阐明 ETEC 中肠毒素的产生和分泌能力的差异对于阐明其在腹泻诱导中的作用非常重要。我们的研究结果进一步加深了我们对 ETEC 中 II 型分泌系统(T2SS)组件如何控制肠毒素分泌水平的理解,并可能为更好地理解 ETEC 分子发病机制奠定基础。
