Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is one of the most prevalent pathogens that cause nosocomial infection in critical patients. However, the mechanisms underlying macrophage growth status and functional changes during PA infection are yet unknown. In the present study, NADPH oxidase, gp91 phox (NOX2) mediated macrophage to senescence in a PAO1 colony‐dependent manner. gp91 phox might regulate the senescence process through mutual interaction with the NF‐ κ B pathway. During infection, the overexpression or downregulation of gp91 phox in macrophage could affect the nuclear activity of NF‐ κ B p65, while the downregulation of NF‐ κ B p65 led to a suppressed expression of gp91 phox . Reactive oxygen species (ROS) served as the second messenger between both molecules as the ROS inhibitor, N ‐acetylcysteine (NAC), could partially restore these changes. Consequently, the level of ROS and inflammatory cytokines, including IL‐6 and TNF α , elevated during PAO1 infection, and their production altered as a result of the genetic manipulation of gp91 phox and NF‐ κ B p65, as well as NAC treatment. Also, the senescent phenotypes, SA‐ β ‐gal staining and p16 ink4a , changed after genetic manipulation with gp91 phox and NF‐ κ B p65 and NAC treatment. The capacity of phagocytosis in macrophages was decreased during senescence. In conclusion, PA directs the macrophage towards senescence, and senescent macrophages exhibit a decreased ability of phagocytosis. This process of senescence was regulated by the interactions between NADPH oxidase gp91 phox and NF‐ κ B p65 via ROS as a second messenger.

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.
