m>Listeria monocytogenesm> (m>Lmm>), a facultative anaerobic gram-positive bacterium, causes listeriosis. Immune cell apoptosis is considered to be one pathogenic factor for listeriosis. As a deubiquitinase, CYLD is an important regulator both in innate immune response and apoptosis by negatively modulating NF-κB pathway. However the role of CYLD in m>Lmm> induced apoptosis remains unclear. Here we found that CYLD is significantly up-regulated in macrophages upon its infection. There is a moderate decrease in m>Lmm> proliferation and apoptotic cells m>inm> siRNA-induced CYLD knockdown THP-1 cells. Thereby CYLD may be involved in cell apoptosis mediated by m>Lmm> infection and its proliferation.
