In vivo role of myeloperoxidase for the host defense. | LitMetric

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is located within neutrophils capable of producing HOCl. To define the in vivo role of MPO, we have generated MPO-knockout (MPO-KO) mice. The mice without MPO developed normally. However, MPO-KO mice showed severely reduced cytotoxicity to various microorganisms such as Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, demonstrating that MPO-dependent oxidative system is important for host defense against fungi and bacteria, although the effect varies from species to species of pathogens. To compare the importance of MPO and NADPH-oxidase for host defense, MPO-KO and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) mice were infected with different doses of C. albicans, and their infection severity was analyzed. CGD mice exhibited increased mortality and tissue fungal burden in a dose-dependent manner, whereas normal mice showed no symptoms. Interestingly, at the highest dose, the mortality of MPO-KO mice was comparable to CGD mice, but was the same as normal mice at the lowest dose. These results suggest that MPO and NADPH-oxidase are equally important for early host defense against a large inocula of Candida.

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a major public health issue, particularly in Latin America, and is traditionally transmitted by triatomine bugs. Chagas disease progresses through two phases: an acute phase characterized by high parasitemia and a chronic phase, which may remain asymptomatic or develop into severe complications. This study utilized dual-RNAseq technology to analyze gene expression in mice fibroblast host cells infected with the strain JJ21 isolated from an acute Chagas disease case of presumptive oral transmission, comparing it with the MG strain isolated from a chronic Chagas disease human case.

Antimicrobial resistance poses an urgent threat to global health, underscoring the critical need for new antibacterial drugs. Ciprofloxacin, a third-generation quinolone antibiotic, is used to treat different types of bacterial infections; however, it often results in the rapid emergence of resistance in clinical settings. Inspired by low susceptibility to antimicrobial resistance of natural antimicrobial peptides, we herein propose a host defense peptide-mimicking strategy for designing chimeric quinolone derivatives which may reduce the likelihood of antibacterial resistance.

Antigen receptor signaling pathways that control lymphocyte activation depend on signaling hubs and negative regulatory proteins to fine-tune signaling outputs to ensure host defense and avoid pathogenic responses. Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 11 (CARD11) is a critical signaling scaffold that translates T cell receptor (TCR) triggering into the activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), and Akt. Here, we identify glutamine-rich protein 1 (QRICH1) as a regulator of CARD11 signaling that mediates an intracellular checkpoint for CD8 T cell activation.
