The role of the PI3K/mTOR signaling pathway in Staphylococcus epidermidis small colony variants intracellular survival.

Abstract:

:The objective of this study was to analyze how Staphylococcus epidermidis SCV and WT strains manipulate the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Six S. epidermidis strains with normal phenotype (WT) and six S. epidermidis strains with SCV phenotype were isolated in parallel from six patients with the prosthetic hip joint infections. THP-1 activated cells were incubated with or without PI3K inhibitor-wortmannin or with mTOR inhibitor-rapamycin. Next, macrophages were exposed to S. epidermidis WT and SCV strains. After 4 h incubation, bacterial survival inside macrophages as well as PI3K-mTOR activation was analyzed. SCV strains of S. epidermidis increased the level of Akt phosphorylation, compared to uninfected macrophages and to their parental WT forms. Wild type variants of S. epidermidis phosphorylated Akt at similar or lower levels as control uninfected cells. Next, the induction of mTOR target, phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6, was measured in bacteria-infected macrophages. The level of phosphorylation was significantly reduced when the cells were exposed to WT strains of S. epidermidis. In contrast, the SCV strains activated S6 protein mostly at a level comparable to the control cells. Rapamycin inhibited mTOR activation as the number of p-S6 positive cells decreased in the tested cases. To conclude, the SCV strains activate the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in opposite to WT strains. This fact however did not influence the increase in the number of live SCV bacteria as compared to the WT strains. Knowing that the PI3K-Akt pathway is involved in proinflammatory cytokines suppression, SCVs seem to use this pathway to reduce the inflammatory response during the infection.
