摘要
Background: Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain containing protein encoded by E. coli(TcpC) is an important virulence factor in most strains of uropathogenic Escherichia coli(UPEC) and inhibits the macrophage-mediated innate immunity, which plays crucial role in the pathogenesis of pyelonephritis. Objectives: To examine the regulatory effects of TcpC on production of MIP-2 in kidney cells and its related mechanism. Methods: Mouse models with pyelonephritis were established by transurethral instillation of TcpC-secreting wild type UPEC CFT073(TcpCwt) or tcp C-knock out CFT073(TcpC-/-). HEK-293 cells were co-cultured with TcpCwt or TcpC-/- in transwell. MIP-2 concentrations were measured by ELISA. Signaling transduction proteins were analyzed by Western blot. Results: MIP-2 concentration in kidney homogenates from TcpCwt caused murine pyelonephritis models was significantly higher than that from TcpC-/- caused models. In vitro, TcpCwt dose-dependently promoted MIP-2 secretion by HEK-293 cells. Concentration of MIP-2 in culture supernatants of HEK-293 co-cultured with TcpCwt was profoundly higher than that co-cultured with TcpC-/-. In the presence of anti-TcpC antibody, this enhancement effect of TcpCwt on MIP-2 production was completely abrogated. TcpC-/- treatment had no effect on p38 MAPK pathway, while TcpCwt treatment resulted in the activation of p38 MAPK in HEK-293 cells. Inhibition of p38 MAPK could significantly decrease MIP-2 concentration and neutrophil recruitment activity in the supernatants of HEK-293 cells co-cultured with TcpCwt. Conclusion: TcpC could promote kidney cells to produce MIP-2 through p38 MAPK pathway, which might contribute to the characteristic histological change of pyelonephritis.

Methods: Mouse models with pyelonephritis were established by transurethral instillation of TcpC-secreting wild type UPEC CFT073(TcpCwt) or tcp C-knock out CFT073(TcpC~(-/-)). HEK-293 cells were co-cultured with TcpCwt or TcpC~(-/-) in transwell. MIP-2 concentrations were measured by ELISA. Signaling transduction proteins were analyzed by Western blot.
