Coxiella burnetii avoids macrophage phagocytosis by interfering with spatial distribution of complement receptor 3.
Phagocytosis is a highly localized event requiring the formation of spatially and temporally restricted signals. Numerous microorganisms have taken advantage of this property to invade host cells. Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever, is an obligate intracellular bacterium that has developed a survival strategy in macrophages based on subversion of receptor-mediated phagocytosis. The uptake ...
متن کاملSurfactant Protein D Binds to Coxiella burnetii and Results in a Decrease in Interactions with Murine Alveolar Macrophages
Coxiella burnetii is a Gram-negative, obligate intracellular bacterium and the causative agent of Q fever. Infections are usually acquired after inhalation of contaminated particles, where C. burnetii infects its cellular target cells, alveolar macrophages. Respiratory pathogens encounter the C-type lectin surfactant protein D (SP-D) during the course of natural infection. SP-D is a component o...
متن کاملSubversion of monocyte functions by coxiella burnetii: impairment of the cross-talk between alphavbeta3 integrin and CR3.
Several intracellular pathogens exploit macrophages as a niche for survival and replication. The success of this strategy requires the subversion or the avoidance of microbicidal functions of macrophages. Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever, is a strictly intracellular bacterium that multiplies in myeloid cells. The survival of C. burnetii may depend on the selective use of macrophage recep...
متن کاملCoxiella burnetii lipopolysaccharide blocks p38α-MAPK activation through the disruption of TLR-2 and TLR-4 association
To survive in macrophages, Coxiella burnetii hijacks the activation pathway of macrophages. Recently, we have demonstrated that C. burnetii, via its lipopolysaccharide (LPS), avoids the activation of p38α-MAPK through an antagonistic engagement of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4. We investigated the fine-tuned mechanism leading to the absence of activation of the p38α-MAPK despite TLR-4 engagement. ...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide from Coxiella burnetii is involved in bacterial phagocytosis, filamentous actin reorganization, and inflammatory responses through Toll-like receptor 4.
The role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the recognition of extracellular and facultative intracellular bacteria by the innate immune system has been extensively studied, but their role in the recognition of obligate intracellular organisms remains unknown. Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever, is an obligate intracellular bacterium that specifically inhabits monocytes/macrophages. We showe...
