Shigella flexneri Adherence Factor Expression in In Vivo -Like Conditions

Abstract: Bacterial pathogens have evolved to regulate virulence gene expression at critical points in the colonization and infection processes to successfully cause disease. The Shigella species infect the epithelial cells lining the colon to result in millions of cases of diarrhea and a significant global health burden. As antibiotic resistance rates increase, understanding the mechanisms of infection is vital to ensure successful vaccine development. Despite significant gains in our understanding of Shigella infectio… Show more

“…For Shigella ( Figure 4 and Supplemental Figure S2 ), adherence was highest in the cecum and colon, with the rates of both comparable to adherence rates with polarized T84 cells (26). Apical surface adherence was facilitated by Shigella adherence factors expressed in the in vivo-like culture conditions, and replicates previous analyses with both the colon and cecum models (23, 24, 26). Meanwhile, Shigella invasion was the highest in colon following treatment with RANKL to induce the presence of M cells.…”

“…To validate the site of Shigella infection, we analyzed wild type S. flexneri strain 2457T infection in the terminal ileum, cecum, and colon-derived HIODEM by assaying for adherence and invasion. Prior to infection, S. flexneri was cultured in a combination of bile salts and glucose to replicate small intestinal transit (24-26). For adherence, approximately 5% of the bacterial inoculum adhered to ileum-derived HIODEM, while the adherence rates for cecum and colon-derived HIODEM models were nearly triple (~12-15%; Figure 4A ).…”

“…initiates the production of an adhesive biofilm induced by prolonged exposure to bile salts and glucose during small intestinal passage. Adherence analysis in human colon-derived organoids infected with Shigella flexneri ( S. flexneri ) revealed the emergence of adhesive structures contacting the host epithelial cell [ 43 ]. Basic characteristics of host cell infection with S. flexneri were captured in an organoid-derived monolayer model originating from different sections of the human intestine [ 44 ].…”
