CD14 expression by human mononuclear phagocytes is modulated by Clostridium difficile toxin B.

Abstract:

:Toxin B, an exotoxin produced by the anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria Clostridium difficile, is responsible for pseudomembranous colitis in humans. It deeply modifies morphology of cultured cells and enhances their membrane surface area, which suggests a possible alteration of membrane receptor distribution. Since toxin B and bacterial lipopolysaccharide can act synergistically on TNF-alpha production by mononuclear phagocytes, the effect of toxin B on CD14 expression was investigated using flow cytometric analysis. It was shown that monocytes overexpressed CD14 after 5 h of treatment with toxin B. In contrast, after 24 h of treatment, the percentage of CD14 monocytes decreased, although, most frequently, the remaining positive cells expressed high levels of CD14 compared with untreated cells. Macrophages treated for 5 h with toxin B overexpressed CD14, but this effect persisted for at least 24 h. Both the percentage of positive macrophages and the mean level of CD14 per cell were increased. Thus toxin B can modulate expression of CD14 and its modulation depends on the differentiation status and maybe on the activation state, since some individual variations were observed in monocyte response to toxin.
