A Ride with Listeria monocytogenes: The Trojan Horse Presented By: Josh Haas Krista Kusinski Shruti Pore Solmaz Shadman Mithaq Vahedi
(Portnoy et al., 2002) Everything you’d want know about Listeriosis Background Entry Escape With LLO Escape With PLC Actin Base Motility Treatments Prevention
History and Epidemiology • First discovered in 1924 in England by E.G.D. Murray, R.A. Webb, and M.B.R. Swann. • First reported disease in humans, in Denmark in 1929. • Outbreak of Listeriosis in California, in 1985, killed 18 people and 30 fetuses. • LM used as a model organism to study immune response to intracellular pathogens.
Some Facts • Listeriosis is an bacterial infection caused by a gram-positive bacterium, Listeria monocytogenes (LM) • Effectsepithelial cells, hepatocytes, and neurons http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/wiki/images/thumb/6/66/250px-Listeria.jpg
Who Is most susceptible? • Pregnant women, and fetus • 20 times more than healthy people • People with immune deficiencies • People with AIDS • 300 times more at risk than healthy people • The elderly
Listeriosis: the way to the porcelain throne • Flu-like symptoms : fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea • Pregnant women treatment can prevent a spontaneous abortion • fever and chills (stillbirth) • Stiff neck, loss of balance, and seizures can occur if the infection spreads to the CNS • Meningitis Clip Art
The Workings of the Trojan Horse • The main route of acquisition of Listeria is through the ingestion of contaminated food products • Isolated from raw meat, dairy products, vegetables, and seafood • Soft cheeses and unpasteurized milk/dairy products should be AVOIDED Google images
Entry How the Trojan Horse got in: LM ENTRY MECHANISMS
(Portnoy et al., 2002) InlA E-cadherin α & β catenin Actin
Entry InlA InlA Internalin (InlA) is involved in LM entry Clip Art Clip Art Lecuit et al., 1997 Yes, LM entry depends on Internalin (InlA)
Entry Lecuit et al., 2000 The E-cadherin ectodomain is important in cell adhesion, and cytoplasmic E-cadherin is required for LM entry E-Cadherin is the receptor for InlA that is involved in entry of LM Clip Art Clip Art
Entry Lecuit et al., 2000 Yes, E-cadherin binds β-catenin which binds α-catenin α and β-catenins are important in LM uptake
Entry Actin is important in LM uptake Lecuit et al., 2000 Actin is recruited during LM entry
Entry Myosin VIIa is recruited at the site of entry of LM Yes!
Entry PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER… Reproduced with modifications from Sousa et al., 2004
Entry Escape LLO (Portnoy et al., 2002) InlA E-cadherin α & β caterin Actin LLO PFO SLO HISLLO
Escape LLO LLO acting on a sheep erythrocyte (bar=100 nanometers) (Vazquez et al., 2001) Listeriolysin O (LLO) • Pore-forming toxin, • Coded by hly gene • Member of thiol-activated toxins *Perfringolysin O (PFO), Streptolysin O (SLO), etc. • Works with Phospholipases to lyse vacuoles
Escape LLO Control bacteria after 3 and 5 hours B. Subtilis expressing LLO after 3 and 5 hours B. Subtilis expressing PFO after 3 and 5 hours Portnoy et al., 1992 Is LLO unique in its ability to lyse the phagolysosome?
Escape LLO Dashed lines represent activity at pH 5.5, while solid lines represent activity at pH 7.0 Portnoy et al., 1992 Is LLO more active at a lower pH? • Purified Protein injected in cuvette containing erythrocytes • Hemolysis measured as decrease in right-angle scatter
Escape LLO LM w/PFO WT LM LLO-LM (Portnoy et al., 1994) Can PFO confer virulence? • Expressed PFO in Listeria monocytogenes • PFO mediated escape from vacuole • Disrupted the plasma membrane • Infected macrophages killed by influx of gentamicin
Escape LLO + + + + + + + + + + + + What role does LLO play in cell to cell spread? • LLO-negative bacteria incubated with nickel ions • Incubated LLO-negative bacteria with six-His-tagged listeriolysin O (HisLLO). LLO-negative LM
Escape LLO WT and LLO-negative LM spread to secondary cells after 5.5 hours WT and LLO-negative LM after 8.5 hours (Gedde et al., 2000)
Escape LLO Size bar = 0.5μm (Gedde et al., 2000) • LLO-negative LM found in double membrane vacuoles • LLO-,PlcA-,PlcB- LM found in multiple membrane vacuoles • LLO is necessary for intracellular life cycle of LM
Escape LLO Escape PLC (Portnoy et al., 2002) PKC Vb β-strand NF-κB LLO PFO SLO HISLLO
Escape PLC LM Soldiers LM LLO PI-PLC PC-PLC
Escape PLC PLC’s!After LLO breaks down the front line Google Images PI-PLC PC-PLC LLO
Escape PLC What does this second wave attack do? • Help LM escape from the vacuole • Uses the Pores formed by LLO to enhance this escape • Cleave the membrane lipid PI (PI-PLC) • Decrease the affinity of LM for GPI-anchored proteins • Activate NF-κB gene
Escape PLC Are PLCs doing the dirty work, or making their troops? Google Images
Escape PLC PI-PLC and PKC in LM escape LM Inositol phosphate PI-PLC Cleave PI Diacylglycerol (DAG) Protein kinase C (PKC) ?????
Escape PLC How is PKC related to PLC’s and escape? • DAG is a product in the cleavage of membrane lipid PI • DAG can activate PKC’s • The PKC β was shown to increase the percent escape LM
Escape PLC Without PKC β there is limited escape
Escape PLC PI-PLC helps the LM escape By using PKC LM Inositol phosphate PI-PLC Cleave PI Diacylglycerol (DAG) Protein kinase C (PKC) LM escape
Escape PLC Is less more? LM PI-PLC’s lack Vb β-strand • The Vb β-strand gives a contact for the glycan linker of GPI-anchored proteins • PI-PLC’s ≠ Vb β-strand
Escape PLC Why this missing LINKer? The LM lacking the Vb β-strand showed a significant increase in the percentage of LM escape
Escape PLC PI-PLC – Vb β-strand = ESCAPE! LM evolved this absence or loss to enhance the growth inside the host cell LM Vb β-Strand
Escape PLC Are PLCs doing the dirty work, or making their troops? Google Images They are delegating the work!!!
Escape PLC What else do PLC’s do after escape? Now what? LM after escape
Escape PLC PLC’s have been seen to regulate NF- κB activation • NF-κB is a transcription factor which is regulated by IκBβ • When IκBβ is degraded, NF-κB becomes active • Degradation levels of IκBβ are seen in correlation with expression of PLC’s in cells exposed to LM infection PLC’s secreted by LM Iκ-Bβ degraded activation NF-κB
