副溶血性弧菌免疫逃逸及其可能机制的研究进展

副溶血性弧菌是全球范围内威胁人体健康和食品安全的食源性致病菌。在感染人体的过程中,副溶血性弧菌通过将其效应蛋白直接注射至宿主细胞中操纵宿主,介导毒力的发挥,并进化出了一套完美的免疫逃逸策略,成功躲避免疫系统的攻击,引起急性肠胃炎、败血症和坏死性筋膜炎等疾病。副溶血性弧菌入侵上皮细胞,使胞内囊泡酸化,在与溶酶体融合之前逃逸到细胞质中,并且限制活性氧的产生,促进其在胞内生存。副溶血性弧菌可以诱导自噬,抑制NLRC4炎症小体介导的caspase-1的激活,还可以通过抑制TAK1激酶,阻止MAPK和NF-κB信号通路的激活,干扰免疫系统激活,借助多种手段共同协作从而达到免疫逃逸。本文系统总结了副溶血性弧菌现已研究的免疫逃逸机制,并对其可能存在的免疫逃逸机制提供了新的见解和方向,对深入了解副溶血性弧菌的致病机理和防控药物靶向位点的选择及研发具有重要意义。

Investigation of seven Vibrio virulence genes among Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains from the coastal mariculture systems in Guangdong, China

AIMS: To investigate the distribution of the virulence of two Vibrio species among different strains obtained from the mariculture systems on the coast of Guangdong in China and the correlation between the virulence strains and the virulence genes among Vibrio alginolyticus. METHODS: Besides three strains, 72 V. alginolyticus strains and seven Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were examined by PCR or semi-nested PCR for the virulence genes (tlh, trh, tdh, toxR, toxRS, ctxA, VPI). Additionally, the virulence of 18 V. alginolyticus strains was tested. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Virulence genes homologous to those in the V. parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae are widely distributed among V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus in the coastal mariculture systems in Guangdong, China. Some of the V. alginolyticus strains are pathogenic to aquatic animals, and might have derived their virulence genes from V. parahaemolyticus or V. cholerae, representing a possible reservoir of these genes. However, there is no correlation between presence and absence of the virulence genes used to investigate V. alginolyticus and its virulent strains. In this report, we also show that tlh is distributed among V. alginolyticus.

Identification of a DNA methyltransferase gene carried on a pathogenicity island-like element (VPAI) in Vibrio parahaemolyticus and its prevalence among clinical and environmental isolates

In this study we identified a putative virulence-associated DNA methyltransferase (MTase) gene carried on a novel 22.79-kb pathogenicity island-like element (VPAI) in V. parahaemolyticus. The V. parahaemolyticus MTase gene was shown by PCR to be prevalent (>98%) in pandemic thermostable direct hemolysin gene-positive isolates, which suggests that VPAI may confer unique virulence traits to pandemic strains of V. parahaemolyticus.     

Genome sequence of the clinical O4:K12 serotype Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain 10329

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of food-borne illnesses worldwide. Here, we report a draft genome of V. parahaemolyticus strain 10329 of the O4:K12 serotype. It belongs to the main U.S. West Coast clonal complex of V. parahaemolyticus (sequence type 36 [ST36]) causing oyster-associated human illness. It contains the virulence determinants tdh and trh but appears to infect at much lower doses than V. parahaemolyticus strains with these same determinants from other areas, such as the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic coasts.     

Occurrence and potential pathogenesis of Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus on the South Coast of Sweden

During the summer of 2006, several wound infections - of which three were fatal - caused by Vibrio cholerae were reported from patients who had been exposed to water from the Baltic Sea. Before these reports, we initiated a sampling project investigating the occurrence of potential human pathogenic V. cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in The Sound between Sweden and Denmark. The Blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) was used as an indicator to follow the occurrence of vibrios over time. Molecular analyses showed high frequencies of the most potent human pathogenic Vibrio spp.; 53% of mussel samples were positive for V. cholerae (although none were positive for the cholera toxin gene), 63% for V. vulnificus and 79% for V. parahaemolyticus (of which 47% were tdh(+) and/or trh(+)). Viable vibrios were also isolated from the mussel meat and screened for virulence by PCR. The mortality of eukaryotic cells when exposed to bacteria was tested in vivo, with results showing that the Vibrio strains, independent of species and origin, were harmful to the cells. Despite severe infections and several deaths, no report on potential human pathogenic vibrios in this area had been published before this study.     

Vibrio parahaemolyticus infectious for both humans and edible mollusk abalone

The aims of this study are to report evidence of the first laboratory-acquired infection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus associated with handling experimentally infected abalones and to describe the virulence of the two bacterial strains tested in these animals. Two strains of V. parahaemolyticus, one from the stool of a patient with acute gastroenteritis (strain 880713) and the other from the hemolymph of a diseased small abalone Haliotis diversicolor supertexta (strain 880915), were identified and characterized. Both strains were lethal to small abalone, with similar LD(50) values (8.36-8.41 x 10(4) colony-forming units/g abalone). Laboratory-acquired infection resulted in one individual experiencing two episodes of acute gastroenteritis due to handling virulence tests during a 1-week interval. Our present results suggest that a V. parahaemolyticus strain isolated from the stool of a patient with gastroenteritis was infectious for small abalone, a major species of edible mollusk abalone cultured in Taiwan, while a similar strain isolated from hemolymph of a diseased small abalone was infectious for humans. This is the first report of V. parahaemolyticus virulent to small abalone as a zoonotic pathogen.     

Cytotoxicity and enterotoxicity of the thermostable direct hemolysin-deletion mutants of Vibrio parahaemolyticus

The thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) has been proposed to be a major virulence factor of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. We have recently completed the genome sequence of a TDH-producing V. parahaemolyticus strain, RIMD2210633. In this study, we constructed tdh-deletion mutants from the sequenced strain by homologous recombination and analyzed their phenotypes. Although the deletion of both copies of tdh completely abolished the hemolytic activity of the wild-type strain, the deletion did not affect the cytotoxicity to HeLa cells. Enterotoxicity, assayed by the rabbit ileal loop test, was lowered by tdh deletion, but the mutant still showed partial fluid accumulation in rabbit intestine. These results indicate that the cytotoxicity and enterotoxicity of TDH-producing V. parahaemolyticus are not explained by TDH alone, and suggest that an unknown virulence factor(s) could be involved in these pathogenic activities.     

Effect of bile on Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Many enteric pathogens are thought to enter a viable but nonculturable state when deprived of nutrients. Virulent strains of the enteric pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus are rarely isolated from their low-nutrient aquatic environments, possibly due to their nonculturability. Host factors such as bile may trigger release from dormancy and increase virulence in these strains. In this study, the addition of bile or the bile acid deoxycholic acid to estuarine water-cultured bacteria led to an increase in the direct viable count and colony counts among the virulent strains. This effect was not demonstrated in the nonvirulent strains, and it was reversed by extraction of bile acids with cholestyramine. Bile-treated V. parahaemolyticus had lower levels of intracellular calcium than untreated cells, and this effect coincided with an increase in the number of metabolically active cells. Chelation of intracellular calcium with BAPTA/AM (R. Y. Tsien, Biochemistry 19:2396-2402, 1980) produced similar results. Addition of bile to V. parahaemolyticus cultures in laboratory medium enhanced factors associated with virulence such as Congo red binding, bacterial capsule size, and adherence to epithelial cells. These results suggest that a bile acid-containing environment such as that found in the human host favors growth of virulent strains of V. parahaemolyticus and that bile acids enhance the expression of virulence factors. These effects seem to be mediated by a decrease in intracellular calcium.     

Serologic and molecular characterization of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from seawater and fish products of the Gulf of Mexico

The thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) are the main virulence factors of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. We isolated V. parahaemolyticus from seawater, fish, and oysters obtained from the Pueblo Viejo Lagoon in Veracruz, determined the serogroups, phenotypically and genotypically characterized TDH and TRH, and investigated the presence of the toxR gene. A total of 46 V. parahaemolyticus strains were isolated, and all of them amplified the 368-bp toxR gene fragment. The trh gene was not identified in any of the strains; 4 of the 46 strains were Kanagawa phenomenon (KP) positive and amplified the 251-bp tdh gene fragment. The most frequent serogroup was serogroup O3. This is the first report of the presence of KP-positive tdh-positive environmental V. parahaemolyticus strains in Mexico.
