PG - 133-40 LID - 10.1007/s00284-012-0136-1 [doi] AB - Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. typhi) evades from innate immunity by expression of a variety of pathogenic factors. The "pR(ST98)" plasmid of S. typhi is involved in multidrug-resistant and virulence of S. typhi. However, its exact effect on host cell function remains elusive. Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in shaping immune response against Salmonella. For the purpose of investigation whether pR(ST98) might target DCs involved in adaptive immune response, murine DCs were infected with S. typhi wild type and mutant strains. S. typhi stimulation resulted in up-regulation of costimulatory molecules on DCs. S. typhi wild type resulted in decreased up-regulation of CD40, CD80, and CD86 expression. Experiments with S. typhi pR(ST98) mutant (S. typhi-Delta-pR(ST98)) and S. typhi-Delta-pR(ST98) with a complemented plasmid encoding pR(ST98) (S. typhi-c-pR(ST98)) revealed that pR(ST98) accounts for inhibition of surface molecule expression and functional maturity. S. typhi-Delta-pR(ST98) gave maximal levels of IL-12 and IFN-gamma release compared with wild type S. typhi or the complemented strains. In contrast to IL-12 and IFN-gamma, IL-10 secretion by S. typhi-Delta-pR(ST98)-infected DCs was significantly lower than induction by S. typhi wild type. This indicates that immunity in response to pR(ST98) is skewed away from a protective Th1 response. Moreover, infection with S. typhi-Delta-pR(ST98) induced autophagy in DCs. We herein demonstrate S. typhi pR(ST98) plays essential roles in modulating DCs maturation, activation, inflammatory responses, and autophagy. Together, these data prove that pR(ST98) targets functions of DCs that are required for T-cell activation. This might contribute to evasion of adaptive immune responses by S. typhi.
