Shiga toxin (Stx), which can be divided into Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), is an important virulence factor of Shigella spp. and certain strains of Escherichia coli. Stx, encoded by λ-like phage, blocks protein synthesis through removal of an adenine residue from the 28S rRNA. Stx can also induce apoptosis through multiple pathways. Humans may suffer from diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and even death when infected with Shiga toxin-producing bacteria. At present, there is no specific treatment for diseases caused by Stx. In recent years, the application of Stx in cancer therapy and imaging has aroused great interest. This review provided a brief overview of Stx in its nomenclature, typing, structure, genetics, pathogenesis and application perspectives.
Key words:
Shiga toxin; Shigella dysenteriae; Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli; λ-like phage
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology established in 1981. It is one of the series of journal sponsored by Chinese Medical Association. The aim of this journal is to spread and exchange the scientific achievements and practical experience in order to promote the development of medical microbiology and immunology. Its main contents comprise academic thesis, brief reports, reviews, summaries, news of meetings, book reviews and trends of home and abroad in this field. The distinguishing feature of the journal is to give the priority to the reports on the research of basic theory, and take account of the reports on clinical and practical skills.
