Innate immune recognition is classically mediated by the interaction of host pattern-recognition receptors and pathogen-associated molecular patterns; this triggers a series of downstream signaling events that facilitate killing and elimination of invading pathogens. In this report, we provide the first evidence that peroxidasin (PXDN; also known as vascular peroxidase-1) directly binds to gram-negative bacteria and mediates bactericidal activity, thus, contributing to lung host defense. PXDN contains five leucine-rich repeats and four immunoglobulin domains, which allows for its interaction with lipopolysaccharide, a membrane component of gram-negative bacteria. Bactericidal activity of PXDN is mediated via its capacity to generate hypohalous acids. Deficiency of PXDN results in a failure to eradicate Pseudomonas aeruginosa and increased mortality in a murine model of Pseudomonas lung infection. These observations indicate that PXDN mediates previously unrecognized host defense functions against gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Multicellular organisms have evolved diversified host defense mechanisms for survival against invading pathogens. Of the mechanisms, the recognition of pathogens is classically mediated by the interaction of host and pathogen, which triggers a series of downstream responses to eliminate pathogens. Proteins that both selectively and directly interact with and kill pathogens are not well identified. In current study, we have determined the dual-function mechanisms of PXDN -mediated bacteria killing. We provide the first evidence for a novel role of PXDN in directly binding to gram-negative bacteria and mediating bactericidal activity. PXDN is highly expressed in the lung and secreted into epithelial lining fluid of the lung, and is induced by LPS and TNF-α. PXDN mutant mice reveal impaired lung host defense in acute lung infection model of P. aeruginosa. PXDN is a new class of bactericidal enzyme with dual function of recognizing and killing pathogens. This finding of an enzyme with dual function has important implications for new conceptual understanding of the innate immunity as well as for therapeutic development.
