Cytolysin A (ClyA) is a pore-forming hemolytic protein encoded by the clyA gene. It has been identified in Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Paratyphi A. To identify and characterize the clyA genes in various Salmonella enterica strains, 21 different serotypes of strains isolated from clinical specimens were presently examined. Full-length clyA genes were found in S. enterica serovar Brandenburg, Indiana, Panama, and Schwarzengrund strains by polymerase chain reaction amplification. The ClyA proteins from these four strains showed >97% amino acid identity to that of S. enterica serovar Typhi. Although all four serovars expressed detectable levels of ClyA as determined by Western blot analysis, they did not show a strong hemolytic effect on blood agar, indicating that ClyA may not be efficiently expressed or secreted. Escherichia coli transformed with clyA genes from the four serovars enhanced production of ClyA proteins and hemolytic activities to a level similar to S. enterica serovar Typhi ClyA. The present results suggest that ClyA may play a role in the pathogenesis of S. enterica serovar Brandenburg, Indiana, Panama and Schwarzengrund.

Attenuated bacteria have long been developed as vaccine candidates but can have some disadvantages, such as the potential for damage to immune organs due to insufficient clearance. To minimize these disadvantages, we generated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium mutants SHJ2104 (asd::cm) and HTSaYA (wzy::km, asd::cm). The wzy gene codes for the O-antigen polymerase, which is involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis, and asd codes for aspartate ß- semialdehyde dehydrogenase, which participates in cell wall formation. The strains synthesized LPS with a short-chain length, and showed lower cytotoxicity and reduced intracellular proliferation in animal cells compared to wild-type bacteria. After oral infection, the mutants were cleared in immune tissues, including the Peyer’s patch, mesenteric lymph node, and spleen, within 5 days. The LD50 of the mutants in Balb/c mice was estimated to be 106 higher than wild-type bacteria when administered either via an oral or i.p. route, indicating that the two strains are highly attenuated. To compare the immune response to and protective effects of the mutants against wild-type bacterial infection, we inoculated the mutants into mice via an oral (1×1010 CFU) or i.p. (1×107 CFU) route once or twice at a two week interval. All immune responses, such as serum IgG and secretory IgA levels, cytokine production, and delayed hypersensitivity, were highly induced by two rounds of immunization. HTSaYA and SHJ2104 induced similar immune responses, and mice immunized with HTSaYA or SHJ2104 via an i.p. route were protected against wild-type Salmonella infection even at 100-fold of the LD50 (5×106 CFU). Taken together, these data indicate that HTSaYA and SHJ2104 could be developed as live attenuated Salmonella vaccine candidates.

It has been known that ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) induced by the binding of c-Myc to odc gene is closely linked to cell death. Here, we investigated the relationship between their expressions and cell death in macrophage cells following treatment with Salmonella typhimurium or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). ODC expression was increased by bacteria or LPS and repressed by inhibitors against mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway. In contrast, c-Myc protein level was increased after treatment with bacteria, but not by treatment with LPS or heat-killed bacteria although both bacteria and LPS increased the levels of c-myc mRNA to a similar extent. c-Myc protein level is dependent upon bacterial invasion because treatment with cytochalasin D (CCD), inhibitors of endocytosis, decreased c-Myc protein level. The cell death induced by bacteria was significantly decreased after treatment of CCD or c-Myc inhibitor, indicating that cell death by S. typhimurium infection is related to c-Myc, but not ODC. Consistent with this conclusion, treatment with bacteria mutated to host invasion did not increase c-Myc protein level and cell death rate. Taken together, it is suggested that induction of c-Myc by live bacterial infection is directly related to host cell death.
