Host syndecan-1 promotes listeriosis by inhibiting intravascular neutrophil extracellular traps.

Abstract：

:Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are at the forefront of host-microbe interactions. Molecular and cell-based studies suggest that HSPG-pathogen interactions promote pathogenesis by facilitating microbial attachment and invasion of host cells. However, the specific identity of HSPGs, precise mechanisms by which HSPGs promote pathogenesis, and the in vivo relevance of HSPG-pathogen interactions remain to be determined. HSPGs also modulate host responses to tissue injury and inflammation, but functions of HSPGs other than facilitating microbial attachment and internalization are understudied in infectious disease. Here we examined the role of syndecan-1 (Sdc1), a major cell surface HSPG of epithelial cells, in mouse models of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) infection. We show that Sdc1-/- mice are significantly less susceptible to both intragastric and intravenous Lm infection compared to wild type (Wt) mice. This phenotype is not seen in Sdc3-/- or Sdc4-/- mice, indicating that ablation of Sdc1 causes a specific gain of function that enables mice to resist listeriosis. However, Sdc1 does not support Lm attachment or invasion of host cells, indicating that Sdc1 does not promote pathogenesis as a cell surface Lm receptor. Instead, Sdc1 inhibits the clearance of Lm before the bacterium gains access to its intracellular niche. Large intravascular aggregates of neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) embedded with antimicrobial compounds are formed in Sdc1-/- livers, which trap and kill Lm. Lm infection induces Sdc1 shedding from the surface of hepatocytes in Wt livers, which is directly associated with the decrease in size of intravascular aggregated NETs. Furthermore, administration of purified Sdc1 ectodomains or DNase inhibits the formation of intravascular aggregated neutrophils and NETs and significantly increases the liver bacterial burden in Sdc1-/- mice. These data indicate that Lm induces Sdc1 shedding to subvert the activity of Sdc1 ectodomains to inhibit its clearance by intravascular aggregated NETs.
