ATP release by infected bovine monocytes increases the intracellular survival of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis.

چکیده
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is the etiologic agent of Johne's disease, a chronic intestinal infection in ruminants. Adenosine 5'-Triphosphate (ATP) has been reported to induce killing of several Mycobacterium species in human and murine macrophages. We investigated whether ATP secreted from M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-infected bovine monocytes affects intracellular survival of the bacilli. Bovine monocytes constitutively secreted ATP during an 8-day incubation period in vitro; however, M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection did not enhance ATP release. Removal of extracellular ATP by the addition of apyrase increased the viability of infected monocytes, but surprisingly decreased the number of viable intracellular bacilli. In contrast to previous reports, addition of extracellular ATP (1mM) increased intracellular survival of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis in bovine monocytes. Neither apyrase nor ATP altered production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) or reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI) by bovine monocytes. These results suggest that ATP release from infected bovine monocytes improves, rather than decreases, the intracellular survival of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis.

Extracellular ATP is cytotoxic to mononuclear phagocytes but does not induce killing of intracellular Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis.
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is the etiologic agent of Johne's disease, a chronic granulomatous enteritis in ruminants. ATP has been reported to induce cell death of macrophages and killing of Mycobacterium species in human and murine macrophages. In this study we investigated the short-term effect of ATP on the viability of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-infected bovine mononu...

In this study, we examined the effects of recombinant bovine gamma interferon (rIFN-gamma) and nitric oxide (NO) on the interaction of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis with bovine monocytes. Monocytes pretreated with rIFN-gamma exhibited slightly increased phagocytosis of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis and modest inhibition of the intracellular growth of this microorganism. The number of viab...

متن کاملDifferential responses of bovine macrophages to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium.
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium are antigenically and genetically similar organisms; however, they differ in their virulence for cattle. M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis causes a chronic intestinal infection leading to a chronic wasting disease termed paratuberculosis or Johne's disease, whereas M. avium subsp. avium causes only a transient infec...
