VCC is a membrane-damaging pore-forming toxin by nature, and is well known for its ability to cause host cell death. Using wild type V. cholerae and VCC-deleted mutant variant of the bacteria, we show that VCC plays an important role in the inflammatory responses during infection in mice. This observation supports that VCC can function as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP). Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the key initiators of inflammation. Upon ligand recognition, TLR1 and TLR6 generally form heterodimers with TLR2 for triggering pro-inflammatory signals. In the present study, we show that VCC engages novel TLR1/4 heterodimer assembly, and elicits pro-inflammatory responses in both dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages. Along with TLR1/4, VCC-induced pro-inflammatory response in macrophages also involves TLR2. It has been shown earlier that VCC is implicated in the V. cholerae-mediated killing of the immune cells following biofilm formation. Here we show that TLRs play an important role in VCC-mediated killing of DCs and macrophages following V. cholerae infection. Interestingly, we find that TLR1/4 signalling is specifically crucial for the VCC-induced inflammatory and death responses in DCs, as well as in mice. Additionally, we observe that similar to DCs and macrophages, TLR1/4-MyD88 play an important role in VCC-mediated inflammatory responses in another crucial immune cell type, neutrophils. Taken together, our study shows novel TLR heterodimer formation, differential recognition of the same ligand by different TLR combination in cell type-dependent manner, and their implications in the context of V. cholerae and VCC-induced immune cell death and mortality.</p>","PeriodicalId":48999,"journal":{"name":"PLoS Pathogens","volume":"21 4","pages":"e1013033"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143784606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ET is a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase that elevates intracellular cAMP by converting ATP to cAMP. Thus, it was postulated that the ET-induced in vivo toxicity is mediated by certain cAMP-dependent events. However, mechanisms linking cAMP elevation and ET-induced damage have not been established. Cholera toxin is another bacterial toxin that increases cAMP. This toxin is known to cause severe intestinal fluid secretion and dehydration by cAMP-mediated activation of protein kinase A (PKA), which in turn activates cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The cAMP-activated PKA phosphorylation of CFTR on the surface of intestinal epithelial cells leads to an efflux of chloride ions accompanied by secretion of H2O into the intestinal lumen, causing rapid fluid loss, severe diarrhea and dehydration. Due to similar in vivo effects, it was generally believed that ET and cholera toxin would exhibit a similar pathogenic mechanism.

Upon cessation of the therapy, latently infected memory CD4+ T cells allow for a rapid rebound of the virus. The development of latency reversing agents (LRAs) to activate latent virus promoting immune recognition and clearance of the infected cells is pivotal for the elimination of the latent arm of the infection. Success of this strategy requires the development of potent highly specific LRAs with fewer off-target effects. LRA activity displayed by proteasome inhibitors although not highly specific opens the possibility of exploiting the high degree of specificity of the ubiquitin-proteasome system to develop targeted LRAs. Here we demonstrate that a small molecule GS143, which inhibits β-TrCP, the substrate recognition subunit of the SCFβ-TrCP E3 ubiquitin protein ligases, exhibits potent LRA activity both in a primary cell model system of latency and cells from aviremic individuals with HIV-1 treated with ART. Furthermore, GS143 reactivates latent HIV-1 without activating T cells, a desirable attribute for LRAs of clinical use. We showed that GS143 acts in a complementary fashion with at least two other classes of LRAs, thereby representing novel drug combinations for targeting HIV-1 latency. Finally, our results suggest that GS143 triggers a novel signaling pathway to reactivate latent HIV-1 that leads to the unconventional activation of NFκB p65, by initiating the noncanonical signaling via NIK, followed by activation of IKK leading to phosphorylation of p65 on S536 and its nuclear translocation. Moreover, we show that β-catenin inhibitors suppress reactivation HIV-1 by GS143, suggesting that β-catenin supports NF-κB output indirectly.
