    Description: Conventional wisdom holds that microbes support their growth in vertebrate hosts by exploiting a large variety of nutrients. We show here that use of a specific nutrient (ethanolamine) confers a marked growth advantage on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) in the lumen of the inflamed intestine. In the anaerobic environment of the gut, ethanolamine supports little or no growth by fermentation. However, S. Typhimurium is able to use this carbon source by inducing the gut to produce a respiratory electron acceptor (tetrathionate), which supports anaerobic growth on ethanolamine. The gut normally converts ambient hydrogen sulfide to thiosulfate, which it then oxidizes further to tetrathionate during inflammation. Evidence is provided that S. Typhimurium's growth advantage in an inflamed gut is because of its ability to respire ethanolamine, which is released from host tissue, but is not utilizable by competing bacteria. By inducing intestinal inflammation, S. Typhimurium sidesteps nutritional competition and gains the ability to use an abundant simple substrate, ethanolamine, which is provided by the host.

    Description: Our innate immune system distinguishes microbes from self by detecting conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns. However, these are produced by all microbes, regardless of their pathogenic potential. To distinguish virulent microbes from those with lower disease-causing potential the innate immune system detects conserved pathogen-induced processes, such as the presence of microbial products in the host cytosol, by mechanisms that are not fully resolved. Here we show that NOD1 senses cytosolic microbial products by monitoring the activation state of small Rho GTPases. Activation of RAC1 and CDC42 by bacterial delivery or ectopic expression of SopE, a virulence factor of the enteric pathogen Salmonella, triggered the NOD1 signalling pathway, with consequent RIP2 (also known as RIPK2)-mediated induction of NF-kappaB-dependent inflammatory responses. Similarly, activation of the NOD1 signalling pathway by peptidoglycan required RAC1 activity. Furthermore, constitutively active forms of RAC1, CDC42 and RHOA activated the NOD1 signalling pathway. Our data identify the activation of small Rho GTPases as a pathogen-induced process sensed through the NOD1 signalling pathway.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3625479/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3625479/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Keestra, A Marijke -- Winter, Maria G -- Auburger, Josef J -- Frassle, Simon P -- Xavier, Mariana N -- Winter, Sebastian E -- Kim, Anita -- Poon, Victor -- Ravesloot, Marietta M -- Waldenmaier, Julian F T -- Tsolis, Renee M -- Eigenheer, Richard A -- Baumler, Andreas J -- AI044170/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI076246/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI044170/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI076246/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Apr 11;496(7444):233-7. doi: 10.1038/nature12025.

    Description: Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) causes acute gut inflammation by using its virulence factors to invade the intestinal epithelium and survive in mucosal macrophages. The inflammatory response enhances the transmission success of S. Typhimurium by promoting its outgrowth in the gut lumen through unknown mechanisms. Here we show that reactive oxygen species generated during inflammation react with endogenous, luminal sulphur compounds (thiosulphate) to form a new respiratory electron acceptor, tetrathionate. The genes conferring the ability to use tetrathionate as an electron acceptor produce a growth advantage for S. Typhimurium over the competing microbiota in the lumen of the inflamed gut. We conclude that S. Typhimurium virulence factors induce host-driven production of a new electron acceptor that allows the pathogen to use respiration to compete with fermenting gut microbes. Thus the ability to trigger intestinal inflammation is crucial for the biology of this diarrhoeal pathogen.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2946174/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2946174/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Winter, Sebastian E -- Thiennimitr, Parameth -- Winter, Maria G -- Butler, Brian P -- Huseby, Douglas L -- Crawford, Robert W -- Russell, Joseph M -- Bevins, Charles L -- Adams, L Garry -- Tsolis, Renee M -- Roth, John R -- Baumler, Andreas J -- AI040124/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI044170/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI073120/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI076246/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI088122/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI088122/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI088122-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI088122-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Sep 23;467(7314):426-9. doi: 10.1038/nature09415.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine, University of California, Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20864996" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that contribute broadly to innate immunity, including protection of mucosal tissues. Human alpha-defensin (HD) 6 is highly expressed by secretory Paneth cells of the small intestine. However, in contrast to the other defensins, it lacks appreciable bactericidal activity. Nevertheless, we report here that HD6 affords protection against invasion by enteric bacterial pathogens in vitro and in vivo. After stochastic binding to bacterial surface proteins, HD6 undergoes ordered self-assembly to form fibrils and nanonets that surround and entangle bacteria. This self-assembly mechanism occurs in vivo, requires histidine-27, and is consistent with x-ray crystallography data. These findings support a key role for HD6 in protecting the small intestine against invasion by diverse enteric pathogens and may explain the conservation of HD6 throughout Hominidae evolution.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4332406/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4332406/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chu, Hiutung -- Pazgier, Marzena -- Jung, Grace -- Nuccio, Sean-Paul -- Castillo, Patricia A -- de Jong, Maarten F -- Winter, Maria G -- Winter, Sebastian E -- Wehkamp, Jan -- Shen, Bo -- Salzman, Nita H -- Underwood, Mark A -- Tsolis, Renee M -- Young, Glenn M -- Lu, Wuyuan -- Lehrer, Robert I -- Baumler, Andreas J -- Bevins, Charles L -- AI032738/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI040124/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI044170/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI050843/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI057757/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI070726/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI072732/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI073120/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI076246/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI082320/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI088122/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HD059127/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI032738/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI050843/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI057757/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI076246/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM099526/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32AI060555/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jul 27;337(6093):477-81. doi: 10.1126/science.1218831.

    Description: Changes in the microbial community structure are observed in individuals with intestinal inflammatory disorders. These changes are often characterized by a depletion of obligate anaerobic bacteria, whereas the relative abundance of facultative anaerobic Enterobacteriaceae increases. The mechanisms by which the host response shapes the microbial community structure, however, remain unknown. We show that nitrate generated as a by-product of the inflammatory response conferred a growth advantage to the commensal bacterium Escherichia coli in the large intestine of mice. Mice deficient in inducible nitric oxide synthase did not support the growth of E. coli by nitrate respiration, suggesting that the nitrate generated during inflammation was host-derived. Thus, the inflammatory host response selectively enhances the growth of commensal Enterobacteriaceae by generating electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4004111/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4004111/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Winter, Sebastian E -- Winter, Maria G -- Xavier, Mariana N -- Thiennimitr, Parameth -- Poon, Victor -- Keestra, A Marijke -- Laughlin, Richard C -- Gomez, Gabriel -- Wu, Jing -- Lawhon, Sara D -- Popova, Ina E -- Parikh, Sanjai J -- Adams, L Garry -- Tsolis, Renee M -- Stewart, Valley J -- Baumler, Andreas J -- AI076246/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI088122/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI090387/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI107393/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Feb 8;339(6120):708-11. doi: 10.1126/science.1232467.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine, University of California, Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23393266" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Intestinal Paneth cells limit bacterial invasion by secreting antimicrobial proteins, including lysozyme. However, invasive pathogens can disrupt the Golgi apparatus, interfering with secretion and compromising intestinal antimicrobial defense. Here we show that during bacterial infection, lysozyme is rerouted via secretory autophagy, an autophagy-based alternative secretion pathway. Secretory autophagy was triggered in Paneth cells by bacteria-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, required extrinsic signals from innate lymphoid cells, and limited bacterial dissemination. Secretory autophagy was disrupted in Paneth cells of mice harboring a mutation in autophagy gene Atg16L1 that confers increased risk for Crohn’s disease in humans. Our findings identify a role for secretory autophagy in intestinal defense and suggest why Crohn’s disease is associated with genetic mutations that affect both the ER stress response and autophagy.
