项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Streptococcus mutans (Sm) has long been recognized as a major pathogen of dental caries, the most common infectious disease in humans. What is much less appreciated is its role in extra-oral infections. Sm is an opportunistic pathogen frequently identified in human bacteremias and is an etiologic agent of infectious endocarditis (IE). IE, a valvular vegetation of the endothelial layer, is a serious cardiovascular disease with often fatal outcomes directly related to dental procedures. There is now strong evidence that Sm is involved in hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in the brain. Additionally, epidemiological and DNA sequencing evidence supports a contributing role of Sm to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a complex inflammatory disease afflicting medium and large sized arteries and is the leading cause of death in the USA. The commonality of these diseases is that they are diseases of the cardiovascular system. The ability of a pathogen to attach to and invade endothelial tissues has previously been shown to be required for virulence in IE and the ability to invade endothelial cells has been shown to correlate with endocardititis severity. We have previously reported that specific strains of Sm can invade human cardiovascular aortic endothelial cells (HCAEC). New data demonstrate that the HCAEC invasion phenotype correlates with the presence of a gene encoding a collagen binding protein, Cnm, and that deletion of cnm renders the strains unable to invade. Sm OMZ175, a strain that expresses Cnm, produces significant pathology compared to control mice in a mouse model of accelerated atherosclerosis. Intracellular pathogens have evolved multiple pathways and mechanisms to enter, traffic and survive within eukaryotic cells. Thus, the mode of entry plays a major role in determining bacterial fate. There are no reports about the cellular events that govern Sm entry into cells. Our overall hypothesis is that strains of Sm expressing Cnm, such as our model organism OMZ175, are able to adhere to, enter, and persist in HCAECs and that the mechanism of entry is critical to the trafficking and survival of Sm intracellularly. Our workig hypothesis to be tested in this proposed project is that invasive Sm enters endothelial cells using specific mechanisms and that Cnm plays a central role in this entry. Understanding the mechanisms that specific strains of a ubiquitous oral pathogen have acquired that expand its virulence to sites outside of the oral cavity would provide further insight into the molecular details of adhesin mediated streptococci interactions with its host. The specific aims of this application are 1) Determine the mechanism of entry of Sm into HCAEC and 2) Determine the contribution of Cnm in the entry process. Our own data and that of others indicate that invasive strains of Sm also invade oral cells and can be detected in predentate children. In addition, cnm has now been found in strains of S. sanguinis, S. suis and S. rattus. Therefore these studies will have significance beyond CVD pathology. In addition, this project would contribute information concerning the application of cnm as a biomarker for hypervirulent strains of Sm.
描述(由申请人提供):变形链球菌(Sm)长期以来被认为是龋齿的主要病原体,龋齿是人类最常见的传染病。但人们对它在口腔外感染中的作用却不太了解。 Sm 是一种在人类菌血症中常见的机会性病原体,也是感染性心内膜炎 (IE) 的病原体。 IE 是一种内皮层瓣膜赘生物,是一种严重的心血管疾病,通常与牙科手术直接相关,导致致命的后果。现在有强有力的证据表明,Sm 与出血性中风有关,出血性中风是大脑血管破裂时发生的。此外,流行病学和 DNA 测序证据支持 Sm 对动脉粥样硬化的促进作用。动脉粥样硬化是一种影响中型和大型动脉的复杂炎症性疾病,是美国的主要原因。这些疾病的共同点是它们都是心血管系统疾病。先前已证明病原体附着和侵入内皮组织的能力是 IE 毒力所必需的,并且侵入内皮细胞的能力已被证明与心内膜炎的严重程度相关。我们之前报道过特定的Sm菌株可以侵入人心血管主动脉内皮细胞(HCAEC)。新数据表明,HCAEC 侵袭表型与编码胶原蛋白结合蛋白 Cnm 的基因的存在相关,并且 cnm 的缺失使菌株无法侵袭。 Sm OMZ175 是一种表达 Cnm 的菌株,与对照小鼠相比,在加速动脉粥样硬化的小鼠模型中产生了显着的病理学。细胞内病原体已经进化出多种途径和机制来进入、运输和在真核细胞内生存。因此,进入方式在决定细菌命运方面起着重要作用。目前还没有关于控制 Sm 进入细胞的细胞事件的报道。我们的总体假设是表达 Cnm 的 Sm 菌株,例如我们的模型生物 OMZ175,能够粘附、进入并持续存在于 HCAEC 中,并且进入机制对于 Sm 在细胞内的运输和存活至关重要。我们在这个拟议项目中要测试的工作假设是,侵入性 Sm 使用特定机制进入内皮细胞,而 Cnm 在此进入中发挥核心作用。了解普遍存在的口腔病原体的特定菌株将其毒力扩展到口腔以外部位的机制,将有助于进一步了解粘附素介导的链球菌与其宿主相互作用的分子细节。该应用的具体目标是 1) 确定 Sm 进入 HCAEC 的机制,以及 2) 确定 Cnm 在进入过程中的贡献。我们自己的数据和其他人的数据表明,Sm 的侵袭性菌株也会侵入口腔细胞,并且可以在长牙儿童中检测到。此外,现已在血链球菌、猪链球菌和鼠链球菌菌株中发现了 cnm。因此,这些研究的意义将超越 CVD 病理学。此外,该项目将提供有关 cnm 作为 Sm 高毒力菌株生物标志物应用的信息。
