Abstract

Several pathogens excrete their toxins either directly into the host or through extracellular vesicles. Enterotoxigenic E. coli is capable of secreting heat-labile toxin LT in extracellular vesicles (EVs) which are delivered to mammalian cells. LT and its B-subunit, LTB, and their structurally and functionally related toxin from Vibrio cholerae, CT and CTB, are potent immunogens and adjuvants. However, despite their reported remarkable effects on immune cells, the mechanisms by which they mediate their immunological properties are still unclear. We show that B cells incubated with LT or LTB secreted EVs in the cell culture medium. However, compared to unstimulated cells, EVs and their internal protein content were significantly reduced in recipient B cells. Analysis of protein markers of the vesicles secreted by B cells were found to be enriched in exosomes of endosomal origin. B cells incubated with FITC-CTB secreted CTB in EVs which were taken up by recipient B and T cells. FITC-CTB transfected into exosomes from mouse dendritic cells were also taken up by recipient B cells. Moreover, B cells incubated with FITC-CTB secreted CTB in EVs which increased the number of recipient B cells expressing higher levels of CD25 and CD86. These results suggest that EVs from B cells are conduits for the enterotoxins, and play an important role in the enterotoxins immune cell-to-cell communication. This is the first report which looked at EVs as a mean to deliver these proteins from and to immune cells.

摘要

几种病原体要么直接将毒素排泄到宿主中,要么通过细胞外囊泡(EVs)排泄。肠产毒性大肠杆菌(Enterotoxigenic E. coli)能够分泌热不稳定毒素 LT,这些 LT 通过细胞外囊泡(EVs)传递到哺乳动物细胞中。LT 及其 B 亚基 LTB,以及霍乱弧菌的结构和功能相关毒素 CT 和 CTB,都是有效的免疫原和佐剂。然而,尽管它们对免疫细胞的作用已经得到了报道,但它们介导免疫特性的机制仍不清楚。我们发现,与未刺激的细胞相比,与 LT 或 LTB 孵育的 B 细胞在细胞培养物中分泌的 EVs 及其内部蛋白质含量显著减少。分析 B 细胞分泌的囊泡的蛋白质标志物,发现它们富含内体起源的外泌体。与 FITC-CTB 孵育的 B 细胞分泌的 CTB 被受体 B 和 T 细胞摄取。从鼠树突状细胞来源的外泌体中转染的 FITC-CTB 也被受体 B 细胞摄取。此外,与 FITC-CTB 孵育的 B 细胞分泌的 CTB 增加了表达更高水平 CD25 和 CD86 的受体 B 细胞数量。这些结果表明,B 细胞来源的 EVs 是肠毒素的一种途径,在肠毒素的免疫细胞间通讯中发挥着重要作用。这是首次报道将 EVs 作为从免疫细胞传递这些蛋白质的一种方式。
