Abstract

Background: Staphylococcus aureus frequently colonizes and infects hospitalized patients. Respiratory infections with Staphylococcus aureus are common in patients with compromised airway defenses. However the mechanisms of S. aureus invasion from colonization to the epithelium are unclear. Cell invasion by S. aureus would require destruction of the extracellular matrix, which is believed to be the result of increased matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) activity. Methods: In this study, respiratory epithelial cells were infected with S. aureus. After removing the extracellular bacteria by washing, the internalized bacteria in the cells were assessed by counting the colonized forming units (CFUs). The cell adhesion proteins, dysadherin and E-cadherin, were evaluated by Western blotting. The MMPs in the bacterial invasion were evaluated by pretreating the cells with GM6001, a MMP inhibitor. Results: The internalization of S. aureus was found to be both time and dose dependent, and the increase in MMP 2 and 9 activity was also dependent on the incubation time and the initial amount of bacterial inoculation. The invasion of S. aureus was attenuated by GM6001 after 12 hours incubation with a multiply of infection (MOI)=50. The expression of dysadherin, a membrane protein, was increased in a time and dose dependent manner, while the expression of E-cadherin was decreased. Conclusion: MMPs may mediate the invasion of S. aureus into epithelial cells.

연구배경: 본 연구에서는 황색포도알균이 숙주세포 내로 침입하여 증식하는 정도를 관찰하고자 한다. 이때 세포 외 바탕 단백질의 변화가 수반될 것으로 가설을 설정하고, 이러한 변화에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되는 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)의 발현과 역할에 대해 연구하고자 하였다. 방법: 황색포도알균은 $10^6{\sim}10^7CFU/ml$을 $10^5$개의 기관지상피세포인 BEAS-2B 세포에 2시간 동안 침입시킨다. 이후 세척으로 세포 밖에 있는 황색포도알균을 제거한 후, BEAS-2B 세포를 다양한 시간 동안(4, 6, 8, 12 시간) 배양한 후 황색포도알균의 집락수(CFU/ml)를 측정하였고, 단백질을 분리하여 세포 외 바탕단백질의 발현 정도와 MMP의 활성도를 측정하였다. 또한 MMP 억제제인 GM6001을 전처치한 후 황색포도알균을 세포에 침입시킨 후 세포 내에서의 균의 집락수 및 세포 외 바탕단백질의 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과: 황색포도알균의 집락을 측정한 결과 4시간과 12시간을 비교해 볼 때 MOI가 증가할수록, 감염시킨 시간이 길수록 숙주세포 내로 침입이 유의하게 증가하였다. BEAS-2B 세포에서 황색포도알균을 침입시킨 시간이 길수록, MOI가 증가할수록 MMP 2 및 MMP 9의 활성도와 dysadherin의 발현은 증가하였고, 이와는 대조적으로 E-cadherin의 발현은 감소하였다. MMP억제제인 GM6001을 전 처치 한 결과 황색포도알균의 세포 내 침입을 유의하게 감소시켰다. 결론: 황색포도알균이 기관지 상피세포 내로 침입할 때 dysadherin 및 E-cadherin 같은 세포 외 바탕 단백질의 변화를 동반하며, MMP 활성도가 균의 세포 내 침입에 관여하는 것으로 보인다.
