          Abstract

          Edwardsiella tarda is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen with a broad host range, including fish, reptiles, and mammals. One prominent virulence feature of E. tarda is its ability to survive and replicate in host phagocytes, but the relevant molecular mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, we examined the transcriptome profiles of RAW264.7 cells, a murine macrophage cell line, infected with live E. tarda or stimulated with dead E. tarda for 4 h and 8 h. Eighteen libraries were constructed, and an average of 69 million clean reads per library were obtained, with ~81.63% of the reads being successfully mapped to the reference genome. In total, 208 and 232 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between live and dead E. tarda-treated cells at 4 h and 8 h post-infection, respectively. The DEGs were markedly enriched in the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways associated with immunity. Live E. tarda differed strikingly from dead E. tarda in the regulation of immune related genes. Compared with dead E. tarda-treated cells, live E. tarda-treated cells exhibited marked and significant suppression in the induction of a large amount of immune genes, including RIG-I-like receptors, cytokines, and interferon-related genes. Furthermore, some of the immune genes highly regulated by live E. tarda formed complicated interaction networks with each other. Together, the results of this study revealed a transcriptome profile specifically induced by the active virulence elements of live E. tarda during the infection process, thus adding new insights into the intracellular infection mechanism of E. tarda. This study also provided a valuable set of target genes for further study of the immune evasion strategy of E. tarda.

          Origin and physiological roles of inflammation.

          Inflammation underlies a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. Although the pathological aspects of many types of inflammation are well appreciated, their physiological functions are mostly unknown. The classic instigators of inflammation - infection and tissue injury - are at one end of a large range of adverse conditions that induce inflammation, and they trigger the recruitment of leukocytes and plasma proteins to the affected tissue site. Tissue stress or malfunction similarly induces an adaptive response, which is referred to here as para-inflammation. This response relies mainly on tissue-resident macrophages and is intermediate between the basal homeostatic state and a classic inflammatory response. Para-inflammation is probably responsible for the chronic inflammatory conditions that are associated with modern human diseases.

            Recognition of cytosolic DNA activates an IRF3-dependent innate immune response.

            Nucleic acid recognition upon viral infection triggers type I interferon production. Viral RNA is detected by both endosomal, TLR-dependent and cytosolic, RIG-I/MDA5-dependent pathways. TLR9 is the only known sensor of foreign DNA; it is unknown whether innate immune recognition of DNA exists in the cytosol. Here we present evidence that cytosolic DNA activates a potent type I interferon response to the invasive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. The noninvasive Legionella pneumophila triggers an identical response through its type IV secretion system. Activation of type I interferons by cytosolic DNA is TLR independent and requires IRF3 but occurs without detectable activation of NF-kappaB and MAP kinases. Microarray analyses reveal a unique but overlapping gene-expression program activated by cytosolic DNA compared to TLR9- and RIG-I/MDA5-dependent responses. These findings define an innate immune response to DNA linked to type I interferon production.

              LGP2 is a positive regulator of RIG-I- and MDA5-mediated antiviral responses.

              RNA virus infection is recognized by retinoic acid-inducible gene (RIG)-I-like receptors (RLRs), RIG-I, and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) in the cytoplasm. RLRs are comprised of N-terminal caspase-recruitment domains (CARDs) and a DExD/H-box helicase domain. The third member of the RLR family, LGP2, lacks any CARDs and was originally identified as a negative regulator of RLR signaling. In the present study, we generated mice lacking LGP2 and found that LGP2 was required for RIG-I- and MDA5-mediated antiviral responses. In particular, LGP2 was essential for type I IFN production in response to picornaviridae infection. Overexpression of the CARDs from RIG-I and MDA5 in Lgp2(-/-) fibroblasts activated the IFN-beta promoter, suggesting that LGP2 acts upstream of RIG-I and MDA5. We further examined the role of the LGP2 helicase domain by generating mice harboring a point mutation of Lys-30 to Ala (Lgp2 (K30A/K30A)) that abrogated the LGP2 ATPase activity. Lgp2 (K30A/K30A) dendritic cells showed impaired IFN-beta productions in response to various RNA viruses to extents similar to those of Lgp2(-/-) cells. Lgp2(-/-) and Lgp2 (K30A/K30A) mice were highly susceptible to encephalomyocarditis virus infection. Nevertheless, LGP2 and its ATPase activity were dispensable for the responses to synthetic RNA ligands for MDA5 and RIG-I. Taken together, the present data suggest that LGP2 facilitates viral RNA recognition by RIG-I and MDA5 through its ATPase domain.
