Shigella effectors injected into the host cell via the type III secretion system are involved in various aspects of infection. Here, we show that one of the effectors, IpaH9.8, plays a role in modulating inflammatory responses to Shigella infection. In murine lung infection model, Delta ipaH9.8 mutant caused more severe inflammatory responses with increased pro-inflammatory cytokine production levels than did wild-type Shigella, which resulted in a 30-fold decrease in bacterial colonization. Binding assays revealed that IpaH9.8 has a specific affinity to U2AF(35), a mammalian splicing factor, which interferes with U2AF(35)-dependent splicing as assayed for IgM pre-mRNA. Reducing the U2AF(35) level in HeLa cells and infecting HeLa cells with wild-type caused a decrease in the expression of the il-8, RANTES, GM-CSF, and il-1 beta genes as examined by RT-PCR. The results indicate that IpaH9.8 plays a role in Shigella infection to optimize the host inflammatory responses, thus facilitating bacterial colonization within the host epithelial cells.
