Many species of pathogenic bacteria damage tissue cells by secreting toxins that form pores in plasma membranes. Here we show that glucocorticoids increase the intrinsic protection of tissue cells against pore-forming toxins. Dexamethasone protected several cell types against the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, pyolysin, from Trueperella pyogenes. Dexamethasone treatment reduced pyolysin-induced leakage of potassium and lactate dehydrogenase, limited actin cytoskeleton alterations, reduced plasma membrane blebbing, and prevented cytolysis. Hydrocortisone and fluticasone also protected against pyolysin-induced cell damage. Furthermore, dexamethasone protected HeLa and A549 cells against the pore-forming toxins streptolysin O from Streptococcus pyogenes, and alpha-hemolysin from Staphylococcus aureus. Dexamethasone cytoprotection was not associated with changes in cellular cholesterol or activating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cell stress responses. However, cytoprotection was dependent on the glucocorticoid receptor and 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR). Collectively, our findings imply that glucocorticoids could be exploited to limit tissue damage caused by pathogens secreting pore-forming toxins. Treating cell lines with glucocorticoids offers protection against the damage caused by subsequent exposure to selected bacterial pore-forming toxins, and is dependent on the glucocorticoid receptor.
