inflammation drives thrombosis after salmonella infection via clec-2 on platelets. | thrombosis is a common, life-threatening consequence of systemic infection; however, the underlying mechanisms that drive the formation of infection-associated thrombi are poorly understood. here, using a mouse model of systemic salmonella typhimurium infection, we determined that inflammation in tissues triggers thrombosis within vessels via ligation of c-type lectin-like receptor-2 (clec-2) on platelets by podoplanin exposed to the vasculature following breaching of the vessel wall. during inf ... | 2015 | 26571395 |
transcription factor batf3 is important for development of cd8+ t-cell response against a phagosomal bacterium regardless of the location of antigen. | salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium (st) is a virulent intracellular bacterium that conceals itself in the phagosomes of infected cells. although cd8(+) t cells promote protection against various intracellular pathogens, the role of cd8(+) t cells against virulent st has been unclear due to early fatality of susceptible (b6) mice. herein, we generated mhc i-deficient mice on the resistant (129svj) and susceptible (nramp1 transgenic b6) background to evaluate the role of cd8(+) t cells agains ... | 2016 | 26567886 |
autophagy proteins promote repair of endosomal membranes damaged by the salmonella type three secretion system 1. | salmonella typhimurium (s.tm) is an enteropathogen requiring multiple virulence factors, including two type three secretion systems (t1 and t2). t1 triggers epithelium invasion in which the bacteria are taken up into endosomes that mature into salmonella-containing vacuoles (scv) and trigger t2 induction upon acidification. mechanisms controlling endosome membrane integrity or pathogen egress into the cytosol are incompletely understood. we screened for host factors affecting invasion and scv ma ... | 2015 | 26567507 |
salmonella manipulates autophagy to "serve and protect". | many intracellular pathogens, including salmonella typhimurium, trigger autophagy in host cells, which is widely thought to restrict intracellular growth and survival. in this issue of cell host & microbe, kreibich et al.

regulation of fucose and 1,2-propanediol utilization by salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium. | after ingestion, salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium (s. typhimurium) encounters a densely populated, competitive environment in the gastrointestinal tract. to escape nutrient limitation caused by the intestinal microbiota, this pathogen has acquired specific metabolic traits to use compounds that are not metabolized by the commensal bacteria. for example, the utilization of 1,2-propanediol (1,2-pd), a product of the fermentation of l-fucose, which is present in foods of herbal origin and is ... | 2015 | 26528264 |
the bacterial transcription termination factor rho coordinates mg(2+) homeostasis with translational signals. | the bacterial protein rho triggers transcription termination at the ends of many operons and when transcription and translation become uncoupled. in addition to these genome wide activities, rho implements regulation of specific genes by dictating whether rna polymerase terminates transcription within the 5' leader region or continues into the downstream coding region. here, we report that the mg(2+) channel gene cora in salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium, which was previously thought to be ... | 2015 | 26523680 |

transfer of the cloned salmonella spi-1 type iii secretion system and characterization of its expression mechanisms in gram negative bacteria in comparison with cloned spi-2. | cloned type iii secretion systems have much potential to be used for bacterial engineering purposes involving protein secretion and substrate translocation directly into eukaryotic cells. we have previously cloned the spi-1 and spi-2 type iii systems from the salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium genome using plasmid r995 which can conveniently capture large genomic segments for transfer between bacterial strains. however, though expressed and functional in salmonella strains, cloned spi-1 was ... | 2015 | 26505312 |
cell scale host-pathogen modeling: another branch in the evolution of constraint-based methods. | constraint-based models have become popular methods for systems biology as they enable the integration of complex, disparate datasets in a biologically cohesive framework that also supports the description of biological processes in terms of basic physicochemical constraints and relationships. the scope, scale, and application of genome scale models have grown from single cell bacteria to multi-cellular interaction modeling; host-pathogen modeling represents one of these examples at the current ... | 2015 | 26500611 |
activation of inflammasome by attenuated salmonella typhimurium in bacteria-mediated cancer therapy. | escherichia coli and attenuated salmonella both naturally accumulate in a tumor mass, yet have distinct therapeutic efficacy: the e. coli k-12 strain (mg1655) cannot induce as significant a tumor suppression as attenuated salmonella typhimurium, despite similar levels of accumulation in the tumor. to elucidate the mechanism of the robust antitumor effect of s. typhimurium, the cytokine profiles elicited by bacterial colonization in tumors were analyzed. c57bl/6 mice bearing mc38 tumors were inje ... | 2015 | 26500022 |

adjuvant treatment with tumor-targeting salmonella typhimurium a1-r reduces recurrence and increases survival after liver metastasis resection in an orthotopic nude mouse model. | colon cancer liver metastasis is often the lethal aspect of this disease. well-isolated metastases are candidates for surgical resection, but recurrence is common. better adjuvant treatment is therefore needed to reduce or prevent recurrence. in the present study, ht-29 human colon cancer cells expressing red fluorescent protein (rfp) were used to establish liver metastases in nude mice. mice with a single liver metastasis were randomized into bright-light surgery (bls) or the combination of bls ... | 2015 | 26497690 |
influence of salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium ssrb on colonization of eastern oysters (crassostrea virginica) as revealed by a promoter probe screen. | although salmonella has been isolated from 7.4 to 8.6% of domestic raw oysters, representing a significant risk for food-borne illness, little is known about the factors that influence their initial colonization by salmonella. this study tested the hypothesis that specific regulatory changes enable a portion of the invading salmonella population to colonize oysters. an in vivo promoter probe library screen identified 19 unique regions as regulated during colonization. the mutants in the nearest ... | 2015 | 26497459 |
asparagine deprivation mediated by salmonella asparaginase causes suppression of activation-induced t cell metabolic reprogramming. | salmonellae are pathogenic bacteria that induce immunosuppression by mechanisms that remain largely unknown. previously, we showed that a putative type ii l-asparaginase produced by salmonella typhimurium inhibits t cell responses and mediates virulence in a murine model of infection. here, we report that this putative l-asparaginase exhibits l-asparagine hydrolase activity required for salmonella typhimurium to inhibit t cells. we show that l-asparagine is a nutrient important for t cell activa ... | 2016 | 26497246 |
