Salmonellosis is a public health problem caused by Salmonella sp., a highly adapted facultative intracellular pathogen. After internalization, Salmonella sp. Manipulates several host processes, mainly through the activation of the type III secretion system (T3SS), including modification of host lipid metabolism and lipid droplet (LD) accumulation. LDs are dynamic and complex lipid-rich organelles involved in several cellular processes. The present study investigated the mechanism involved in LD biogenesis in Salmonella-infected macrophages and its role in bacterial pathogenicity. Here, we reported that S. Typhimurium induced a rapid time-dependent increase of LD formation in macrophages. The LD biogenesis was demonstrated to depend on Salmonella's viability and SPI1-related T3SS activity, with the participation of Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling. We also observed that LD accumulation occurs through TLR2-dependent signaling and is counter-regulated by TLR4. Last, the pharmacologic modulation of LD formation by inhibiting diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) and cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) significantly reduced the intracellular bacterial proliferation and impaired the prostaglandin E2 (PGE ) synthesis. Collectively, our data suggest the role of LDs on S. typhimurium intracellular survival and replication in macrophages. This data set provides new perspectives for future investigations about LDs in host-pathogen interaction.
肠炎沙门氏菌病是由沙门氏菌引起的公共卫生问题,沙门氏菌是一种适应性很强的兼性细胞内病原体。沙门氏菌内化后,操纵宿主的几个过程,主要通过 III 型分泌系统(T3SS)的激活,包括宿主脂质代谢和脂滴(LD)积累的改变。LD 是动态的和复杂的富含脂质的细胞器,参与几个细胞过程。本研究调查了沙门氏菌感染的巨噬细胞中 LD 生物发生的机制及其在细菌致病性中的作用。在这里,我们报道了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌诱导巨噬细胞中 LD 形成的快速时间依赖性增加。LD 生物发生依赖于沙门氏菌的活力和 SPI1 相关的 T3SS 活性,涉及 Toll 样受体(TLR)信号。我们还观察到 LD 积累通过 TLR2 依赖性信号发生,并通过 TLR4 进行反向调节。最后,通过抑制二酰基甘油 O-酰基转移酶 1(DGAT1)和细胞质磷脂酶 A2(cPLA2)来调节 LD 形成的药理学方法显著降低了细胞内细菌增殖并损害了前列腺素 E2(PGE2)的合成。总的来说,我们的数据表明 LD 在巨噬细胞中沙门氏菌的存活和复制中的作用。该数据集为宿主-病原体相互作用中 LD 的未来研究提供了新的视角。
