Internalization of Staphylococcus aureus by human keratinocytes

Infection and Immunity

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is among the most important human pathogens and causes various superficial and systemic infections. The ability of S. aureus to be internalized by, and survive within, host cells, such as keratinocytes, may contribute to the development of persistent or chronic infections and may finally lead to deeper tissue infections or dissemination. To examine the mechanisms of internalization of S. aureus by keratinocytes, isogenic mutants lacking fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs), a recombinant protein consisting of the fibronectin-binding domain of S. aureus FnBPs, and an anti-alpha5beta1 antibody were used in cocultures with immortalized keratinocytes and primary keratinocytes. We found that internalization of S. aureus by immortalized keratinocytes requires bacterial FnBPs and is mediated by the major fibronectin-binding integrin alpha5beta1. In contrast to internalization by immortalized keratinocytes, internalization of S. aureus by primary keratinocytes could occur through FnBP-dependent and -independent pathways. S. aureus clumping factor B (ClfB), which was recently determined to bind to epithelial cells, was not involved in the uptake of this bacterium by keratinocytes. The identification of an alternate...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
