秀丽线虫对病原菌的应答具有保守的先天免疫反应和病原菌回避行为。我们研究了线虫对病原体感染抗性的自然变异。利用定量遗传分析,我们确定了实验室野生型毒株和野生毒株CB4856对病原菌的敏感性差异是由编码哺乳动物神经肽Y受体同源基因的NPR-1基因的多态性引起的。我们证明了NPR-1介导的病原菌抗性的机制是通过氧依赖的行为回避而不是直接调节天然免疫。对于线虫来说,细菌代表食物,但也是潜在的感染源。我们的数据强调了对氧气水平的行为反应在这些潜在冲突的线索之间找到最佳平衡的重要性。
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to pathogenic bacteria with conserved innate immune responses and pathogen avoidance behaviors. We investigated natural variation in C. elegans resistance to pathogen infection. With the use of quantitative genetic analysis, we determined that the pathogen susceptibility difference between the laboratory wild-type strain N2 and the wild isolate CB4856 is caused by a polymorphism in the npr-1 gene, which encodes a homolog of the mammalian neuropeptide Y receptor. We show that the mechanism of NPR-1-mediated pathogen resistance is through oxygen-dependent behavioral avoidance rather than direct regulation of innate immunity. For C. elegans, bacteria represent food but also a potential source of infection. Our data underscore the importance of behavioral responses to oxygen levels in finding an optimal balance between these potentially conflicting cues.
