Phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-Trisphosphate Induces Phagocytosis of Nonmotile Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Infection and Immunity

Abstract

Pathogenic bacteria that establish chronic infections in immunocompromised patients frequently undergo adaptation or selection for traits that are advantageous for their growth and survival. Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative, opportunistic bacterial pathogen, exhibit a temporal transition from a motile to a nonmotile phenotype through loss of flagellar motility during the course of chronic infection. This progressive loss of motility is associated with increased resistance to both antibiotic and immune clearance. We have previously shown that loss of bacterial motility enables P. aeruginosa to evade phagocytic clearance both in vitro and in vivo and fails to activate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt-dependent phagocytic pathway. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that clearance of phagocytosis-resistant bacteria could be induced by exogenously pretreating innate immune cells with the Akt-activating molecule phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). Here, we demonstrate that PIP3 induces the uptake of nonmotile P. aeruginosa by primary human neutrophils >25-fold, and this effect is phenocopied with the use of murine phagocytes. However, surprisingly, mechanistic studies revealed t...Continue Reading
