  • Identification and Characterization of Putative Nucleomodulins in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
    IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PUTATIVE NUCLEOMODULINS IN MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS Abstract The nuclear targeting of bacterial proteins that modify host cell gene expression, the so- called nucleomodulins, has emerged as a novel mechanism contributing to virulence of several intracellular pathogens. The goal of this study was to identify nucleomodulins produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), and to investigate their role upon infection of the host. We first performed a screening of Mtb genome in search of genes encoding proteins with putative eukaryotic-like nuclear localization signals (NLS). We identified two genes of Mtb, Rv0229c and Rv3876, encoding proteins that are secreted in the medium by Mtb and are localized into the nucleus when expressed in epithelial cells or in human or murine macrophages. The NLSs of these two proteins were identified and found to be essential for their nuclear localization. The gene Rv0229c, a putative RNase, is present only in pathogen species of the Mtb complex and seems to have been recently acquired by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Rv3876 appears more widely distributed in mycobacteria, and belongs to a chromosomal region encoding proteins of the type VII secretion system ESX1, essential for virulence. Ongoing studies are currently investigating the dynamics of these proteins upon infection of host cells, and their putative role in the modulation of host cell gene expression and Mtb virulence. ii IDENTIFICATION ET CARACTERISATION DE NUCLEOMODULINES PUTATIVES CHEZ LA BACTERIE MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS Résumé Les nucléomodulines sont des protéines produites par des bactéries parasites intracellulaires et qui sont importées dans le noyau des cellules infectées pour y moduler l’expression génique et contribuer ainsi à la virulence de la bactéries.

  • New Insights Into the Evasion of Host Innate Immunity by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
    Cellular & Molecular Immunology www.nature.com/cmi REVIEW ARTICLE OPEN New insights into the evasion of host innate immunity by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Qiyao Chai1,2, Lin Wang3, Cui Hua Liu 1,2 and Baoxue Ge 3 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an extremely successful intracellular pathogen that causes tuberculosis (TB), which remains the leading infectious cause of human death. The early interactions between Mtb and the host innate immune system largely determine the establishment of TB infection and disease development. Upon infection, host cells detect Mtb through a set of innate immune receptors and launch a range of cellular innate immune events. However, these innate defense mechanisms are extensively modulated by Mtb to avoid host immune clearance. In this review, we describe the emerging role of cytosolic nucleic acid-sensing pathways at the host–Mtb interface and summarize recently revealed mechanisms by which Mtb circumvents host cellular innate immune strategies such as membrane trafficking and integrity, cell death and autophagy. In addition, we discuss the newly elucidated strategies by which Mtb manipulates the host molecular regulatory machinery of innate immunity, including the intranuclear regulatory machinery, the ubiquitin system, and cellular intrinsic immune components. A better understanding of innate immune evasion mechanisms adopted by Mtb will provide new insights into TB pathogenesis and contribute to the development of more effective TB vaccines and therapies.

These changes trigger alterations tothe chromatin structure and on the transcriptional level of genes involved in the pathogenesis of many bacterial diseases. In this way, pathogens manipulate the host cell for their own survival. The better understanding of epigenetic consequences in bacterial infection may open the door for designing new vaccine approaches and therapeutic implications. This article characterizes selected intracellular bacterial pathogens, including Mycobacterium spp., Listeria spp., Chlamydia spp., Mycoplasma spp., Rickettsia spp., Legionella spp. and Yersinia spp., which can modulate and reprogram of defense genes in host innate immune cells.

Abstract: The inflammatory response is the first line of defense against infectious agents or tissue damage. Innate immune cells are the crucial effectors regulating the different phase of inflammation. Their ability to timely develop an immune response is tightly controlled by the interplay of transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms. The immunological imprinting elicited by exposure to different concentrations and types of infectious agents determine the functional fate of immune cells, forming the basis of innate immune memory. In this review we highlight the best-characterized examples of gene reprogramming occurring during different phases of inflammation with particular emphasis on the epigenetic marks that determine the specificity of the immune response. We further review the potential of cutting edge experimental techniques that have recently helped to reveal the deep complexity of epigenetic regulation during the inflammatory response. Keywords: inflammation; histone modification; DNA methylation; non-coding RNAs; epigenetics 1. Introduction Innate immunity relies on the ability of myeloid cells to efficiently sense and react to various extracellular stimuli in order to protect the organism from pathogenic infections or tissue damage.
