PG - e0050523 LID - 10.1128/iai.00505-23 [doi] LID - e00505-23 AB - 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. Salmonella Enteritidis have evolved multiple mechanisms to regulate inflammasome activation and evade host immune system clearance. Through screening S. Enteritidis C50336DeltafliC transposon mutant library, we found that the insertion mutant of dinJ increased inflammasome activation. In this study, we demonstrated the genetic connection between the antitoxin DinJ and the toxin YafQ in S. Enteritidis, confirming their co-transcription. The deletion mutant DeltafliCDeltadinJ increased cell death and IL-1beta secretion in J774A.1 cells. Western blotting analysis further showed elevated cleaved Caspase-1 product (p10 subunits) and IL-1beta secretion in cells infected with DeltafliCDeltadinJ compared to cells infected with DeltafliC. DinJ was found to inhibit canonical inflammasome activation using primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from Casp(-/-) C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, DinJ specifically inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, as demonstrated in BMDMs from Nlrp3(-/-) and Nlrc4(-/-) 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-1beta and IL-18 in vivo, contributing to S. Enteritidis evading host immune clearance. In summary, our findings provide insights into the role of DinJ in modulating the inflammasome response during S. Enteritidis infection, highlighting its impact on inhibiting inflammasome activation and immune evasion.
