However, much of our current understanding of <em>P. syringae</em> is centered on its infection of flowering plants. We took a comparative approach to understand how <em>P. syringae</em> infects evolutionarily divergent plants. We identified <em>P. syringae</em> isolates causing disease in the liverwort <em>Marchantia polymorpha</em>, the fern <em>Ceratopteris richardii</em>, and the flowering plant <em>Nicotiana benthamiana</em>, which last shared a common ancestor >500 million years ago. Phytotoxin-enriched phylogroup (PG) 2 isolates of <em>P. syringae</em> are virulent in non-flowering plants, relying on type-3 effectors and the lipopeptide phytotoxin syringomycin. Ectopic syringomycin promotes tissue necrosis, activates conserved stress-related genes, and enhances <em>in planta</em> bacterial growth of toxin-deficient PGs in <em>Marchantia</em>. Collectively, our research reveals a key role for syringomycin in promoting <em>Pseudomonas</em> colonization, which works alongside effectors to antagonize an exceptionally wide spectrum of land plants.","PeriodicalId":9693,"journal":{"name":"Cell host & microbe","volume":"262 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142849504","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}

We investigated the role of gut microbiota in shingle- and PHN-related pain. Patients with shingles or PHN exhibited significant alterations in their gut microbiota with microbial markers predicting PHN development among patients with shingles. Functionally, fecal microbiota transplantation from patients with PHN to mice heightened pain sensitivity. Administration of <em>Roseburia intestinalis</em>, a bacterium both depleted in patients with shingles and PHN, alleviated peripheral nerve injury-induced pain in mice. <em>R. intestinalis</em> enhanced vagal neurotransmission to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) to suppress the central amygdala (CeA), a brain region involved in pain perception. <em>R. intestinalis-</em>generated butyrate activated vagal neurons through the receptor, G protein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41). Vagal knockout of <em>Gpr41</em> abolished the effects of <em>R. intestinalis</em> on the NTS-CeA circuit and reduced pain behaviors. Overall, we established a microbiota-based model for PHN risk assessment and identified <em>R. intestinalis</em> as a potential pain-alleviating probiotic.","PeriodicalId":9693,"journal":{"name":"Cell host & microbe","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142849559","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}

Mechanisms are poorly understood but implicate the microbiota, especially adherent-invasive <em>Escherichia coli</em> (AIEC). We previously demonstrated that AIEC producing the metallophore yersiniabactin (Ybt) promotes intestinal fibrosis in an IBD mouse model. Since macrophages interpret microbial signals and influence inflammation/tissue remodeling, we hypothesized that Ybt metal sequestration disrupts this process. Here, we show that macrophages are abundant in human IBD-fibrosis tissue and mouse fibrotic lesions, where they co-localize with AIEC. Ybt induces profibrotic gene expression in macrophages via stabilization and nuclear translocation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), a metal-dependent immune regulator. Importantly, Ybt-producing AIEC deplete macrophage intracellular zinc and stabilize HIF-1α through inhibition of zinc-dependent HIF-1α hydroxylation. HIF-1α+ macrophages localize to sites of disease activity in human IBD-fibrosis strictures and mouse fibrotic lesions, highlighting their physiological relevance. Our findings reveal microbiota-mediated metal sequestration as a profibrotic trigger targeting macrophages in the inflamed intestine.","PeriodicalId":9693,"journal":{"name":"Cell host & microbe","volume":"256 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142841504","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}

We find that during <em>Mtb</em> infection in neutrophils, PAD4 citrullinates histones to decondense chromatin that gets released as NETs in a manner that can maintain neutrophil viability and promote <em>Mtb</em> replication. Type I interferon promotes the formation of chromatin-containing vesicles that allow NET release without compromising plasma membrane integrity.
