The inflammasome is a pivotal component of the innate immune system, acting as a multiprotein complex that plays an essential role in detecting and responding to microbial infections. Enteritidis have evolved multiple mechanisms to regulate inflammasome activation and evade host immune system clearance. Through screening . Enteritidis C50336Δ transposon mutant library, we found that the insertion mutant of increased inflammasome activation. In this study, we demonstrated the genetic connection between the antitoxin DinJ and the toxin YafQ in . Enteritidis, confirming their co-transcription. The deletion mutant ΔΔ increased cell death and IL-1β secretion in J774A.1 cells. Western blotting analysis further showed elevated cleaved Caspase-1 product (p10 subunits) and IL-1β secretion in cells infected with ΔΔ compared to cells infected with Δ. DinJ was found to inhibit canonical inflammasome activation using primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, DinJ specifically inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, as demonstrated in BMDMs from and mice. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments confirmed the translocation of DinJ into host cells during infection. Finally, we revealed that DinJ could inhibit the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 , contributing to . Enteritidis evading host immune clearance. In summary, our findings provide insights into the role of DinJ in modulating the inflammasome response during . Enteritidis infection, highlighting its impact on inhibiting inflammasome activation and immune evasion.
炎症小体是先天免疫系统的关键组成部分,作为一种多蛋白复合物,在检测和应对微生物感染中发挥着重要作用。肠炎沙门氏菌已经进化出多种机制来调节炎症小体的激活并逃避宿主免疫系统的清除。通过筛选肠炎沙门氏菌 C50336Δ转座子突变体文库,我们发现增加炎症小体激活的插入突变体。在这项研究中,我们证明了肠炎沙门氏菌中抗毒素 DinJ 和毒素 YafQ 之间的遗传联系,确认了它们的共转录。ΔΔ缺失突变体增加了 J774A.1 细胞中的细胞死亡和 IL-1β 分泌。Western blot 分析进一步表明,与感染Δ的细胞相比,感染ΔΔ的细胞中 cleaved Caspase-1 产物(p10 亚基)和 IL-1β 分泌增加。发现 DinJ 通过从小鼠原代骨髓来源的巨噬细胞(BMDMs)中抑制经典炎症小体激活。此外,DinJ 特异性抑制 NLRP3 炎症小体激活,在 和 小鼠的 BMDMs 中得到证实。荧光共振能量转移(FRET)实验证实了 DinJ 在感染期间向宿主细胞的易位。最后,我们揭示了 DinJ 可以抑制 IL-1β 和 IL-18 的分泌,有助于肠炎沙门氏菌逃避宿主免疫清除。总之,我们的研究结果为 DinJ 在肠炎沙门氏菌感染过程中调节炎症小体反应提供了新的见解,强调了其抑制炎症小体激活和免疫逃避的作用。
