EspC, an Autotransporter Protein Secreted by Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, Causes Apoptosis and Necrosis through Caspase and Calpain Activation, Including Direct Procaspase-3 Cleavage.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) has the ability to antagonize host apoptosis during infection through promotion and inhibition of effectors injected by the type III secretion system (T3SS), but the total number of these effectors and the overall functional relationships between these effectors during infection are poorly understood. EspC produced by EPEC cleaves fodrin, paxillin, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which are also cleaved by caspases and calpains during apoptosis. Here we show the role of EspC in cell death induced by EPEC. EspC is involved in EPEC-mediated cell death and induces both apoptosis and necrosis in epithelial cells. EspC induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by provoking (i) a decrease in the expression levels of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, (ii) translocation of the proapoptotic protein Bax from cytosol to mitochondria, (iii) cytochrome c release from mitochondria to the cytoplasm, (iv) loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, (v) caspase-9 activation, (vi) cleavage of procaspase-3 and (vii) an increase in caspase-3 activity, (viii) PARP proteolysis, and (ix) nuclear fragmentation and an increase in the sub-G1 population. Interestingly, EspC-induced apoptosis was triggered through a dual mechanism involving both independent and dependent functions of its EspC serine protease motif, the direct cleavage of procaspase-3 being dependent on this motif. This is the first report showing a shortcut for induction of apoptosis by the catalytic activity of an EPEC protein. Furthermore, this atypical intrinsic apoptosis appeared to induce necrosis through the activation of calpain and through the increase of intracellular calcium induced by EspC. Our data indicate that EspC plays a relevant role in cell death induced by EPEC. IMPORTANCE:EspC, an autotransporter protein with serine protease activity, has cytotoxic effects on epithelial cells during EPEC infection. EspC causes cytotoxicity by cleaving fodrin, a cytoskeletal actin-associated protein, and focal adhesion proteins (i.e., FAK); interestingly, these proteins are also cleaved during apoptosis and necrosis. Here we show that EspC is able to cause cell death, which is characterized by apoptosis: by dissecting the apoptotic pathway and considering that EspC is translocated by an injectisome, we found that EspC induces the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Remarkably, EspC activates this pathway by two distinct mechanisms-either by using or not using its serine protease motif. Thus, we show for the first time that this serine protease motif is able to cleave procaspase-3, thereby reaching the terminal stages of caspase cascade activation leading to apoptosis. Furthermore, this overlapped apoptosis appears to potentiate cell death through necrosis, where EspC induces calpain activation and increases intracellular calcium.
