Abstract

Exocytosis of lysosomes from macrophages has been described as a response to microbial cytotoxins and haemolysins, as well as for releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18 during inflammasome activation. The mycobacterial ESX-1 secretion system, encoded in part by the Region of Difference-1, is a virulence factor necessary for phagosome escape and host cell lysis by a contact-dependent haemolysin in Mycobacterium marinum. Here we show that ESX-1 from M. marinum and M. tuberculosis is required for Ca(2+)-dependent induction of lysosome secretion from macrophages. Mycobacteria-induced lysosome secretion was concurrent to release of IL-1beta and IL-18, dependent on phagocytosis of bacteria containing ESX-1. Synthesis but not release of IL-1beta and IL-18 occurred in response to dead bacilli and bacteria lacking ESX-1, indicating that only cytokine release was regulated by ESX-1. Release of these cytokines and exocytosis of lysosomes were independent of intracellular mycobacterial growth, yet correlated with mycobacteria-encoded haemolytic activity, demonstrating a parallel pathway for the two responses. We further identified inflammasome components caspase-1, ASC and NALP3, but not Ipaf, required for release of IL-1beta and IL-18. Collectively, these results reveal a role for ESX-1 in triggering secretion of lysosomes, as well as release of IL-1beta and IL-18 during mycobacteria infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
