Tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), is a significant global public health problem. Mycobacterium tuberculosis expresses a unique family of PE_PGRS proteins that have been implicated in pathogenesis. Despite numerous studies, the functions of most PE_PGRS proteins in the pathogenesis of mycobacterium infections remain unclear. PE_PGRS45 (Rv2615c) is only found in pathogenic mycobacteria. In this study, we successfully constructed a recombinant Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smegmatis) strain which heterologously expresses the PE_PGRS45 protein. We found that overexpression of this cell wall-associated protein enhanced bacterial viability under stress in vitro and cell survival in macrophages. MS_PE_PGRS45 decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12p40, and TNF-α. We also found that MS_PE_PGRS45 increased the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and altered macrophage-mediated immune responses. Furthermore, PE_PGRS45 enhanced the survival rate of M. smegmatis in macrophages by inhibiting cell apoptosis. Collectively, our findings show that PE_PGRS45 is a virulent factor actively involved in the interaction with the host macrophage.

Echinacoside Ameliorates Cyclophosphamide-Induced Bladder Damage in Mice
Yunpeng Shao,Yu Liu,Baixin Shen,Qiao Zhou,Zhongqing Wei 한국식품영양과학회 2022 Journal of medicinal food Vol.25 No.7
Interstitial cystitis (IC) is featured by apoptosis and chronic inflammation in bladder tissue. We aimed to evaluate the effect of echinacoside (ECH), which is known to modulate inflammation and apoptosis on IC using relevant models. We established a mouse model of cystitis using cyclophosphamide (CYP) and treated human urothelium cells (SV-HUC-1) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + ATP as in vitro model. The bladder function was tested by urodynamics. Apoptosis of bladder cells was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling assay. Expressions of apoptosis-associated and inflammation-related proteins were assessed using western blotting. Treatment with ECH significantly improved bladder function, reduced inflammatory damage, and decreased apoptosis in the models. Furthermore, ECH decreased the phosphorylation levels of IκB and NF-κB(p65), and upregulated the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), which are related to apoptosis and inflammation in CYP-induced mouse cystitis. Moreover, ECH did not reduce apoptosis of urothelial cells after treatment with PPARγ antagonist GW9662. Our findings suggest that ECH might have protective effect against IC in bladder and be mediated through modulation of the PPARγ/NF-κB pathway.
