This is due to ExoU's phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> activity, which triggers an uncontrolled inflammatory response, leading to severe pathologies. Here, we delve into ExoU's impact on mucin-1 (MUC1), a critical mucus component with immunomodulatory properties on pulmonary cell surfaces. Our findings reveal that infection of human respiratory epithelial cells by an ExoU-negative <em>P. aeruginosa</em> strain boosts MUC1 expression, yet ExoU secretion by the bacteria diminishes MUC1 mRNA and protein levels through JNK pathway disruption. Interestingly, despite reduced overall cell-associated MUC1 levels, ExoU prompts MUC1 accumulation within the nucleus, where the MUC1 cytoplasmic tail (MUC1-C) may act as a transcriptional coactivator. Notably, treating epithelial respiratory cell cultures with GO-201, a specific MUC1-C inhibitor, diminished CXCL-8 secretion induced by ExoU. In essence, our study highlights how infection by ExoU-producing <em>P. aeruginosa</em> strains suppresses MUC1 expression during infection, while enhancing MUC1-C translocation to the nucleus, where it plays a pro-inflammatory role. This unique mechanism sheds light on how ExoU can impact the host's defense against <em>P. aeruginosa</em>, potentially compromising host health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21098,"journal":{"name":"Research in microbiology","volume":"176 5","pages":"Article 104301"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144275818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
