英文摘要
Summary Salmonella enterica subspecies Typhimurium is a natural pathogen of mice that establishes persistent, systemic infection. Salmonella generally reside within professional phagocytes, typically macrophages, which is critical for the development of chronic infection. However, it is unclear how Salmonella can survive within a cell-type that evolved to destroy pathogens. Our lab has demonstrated that during persistent murine infections, S. Typhimurium can reside within macrophages that are hemophagocytic. Hemophagocytic macrophages (HMФs) are characterized by the ingestion of viable cells of the hematopoietic lineages, and are clinically associated with human Typhoid fever. We have also observed that by three weeks post-infection, activated macrophages, and possibly HMФs, coalesce into granulomas that harbor and appear to protect bacteria from the host immune system, potentially establishing a site at which the bacteria can survive long-term. The goal of this proposal is to determine how S. Typhimurium exploits macrophages, including HMФs and macrophages within granulomas, to withstand host defenses during acute and chronic infection. We are modeling HMФs and granulomas and the following two aims will address key questions regarding how bacteria establish and maintain colonization of tissues within HMФs and granulomas: 1) How does S. Typhimurium acquire iron from macrophages? and 2) How does S. Typhimurium survive in granulomas? How granulomas form and acquire and maintain bacteria such as Salmonella remains a poorly understood area that may be able to be targeted with therapeutics.
