The human diarrheal pathogens Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli
interfere with host innate immune signaling by different means, and their
flagellins, FlaA and FlaB, have a low intrinsic property to activate the innate
immune receptor Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5). We have investigated here the
hypothesis that the unusual secreted, flagellin-like molecule FlaC present in
C. jejuni, C. coli, and other Campylobacterales might activate cells via TLR5 and
interact with TLR5. FlaC shows striking sequence identity in its D1 domains to
TLR5-activating flagellins of other bacteria, such as Salmonella, but not to
nonstimulating Campylobacter flagellins. We overexpressed and purified FlaC and
tested its immunostimulatory properties on cells of human and chicken origin.
Treatment of cells with highly purified FlaC resulted in p38 activation. FlaC
directly interacted with TLR5. Preincubation with FlaC decreased the
responsiveness of chicken and human macrophage-like cells toward the bacterial
TLR4 agonist lipopolysaccharide (LPS), suggesting that FlaC mediates
cross-tolerance. C. jejuni flaC mutants induced an increase of cell responses in
comparison to those of the wild type, which was suppressed by genetic
complementation. Supplementing excess purified FlaC likewise reduced the cellular
response to C. jejuni. In vivo, the administration of ultrapure FlaC led to a
decrease in cecal interleukin 1? (IL-1?) expression and a significant change of
the cecal microbiota in chickens. We propose that Campylobacter spp. have evolved
a novel type of secreted immunostimulatory flagellin-like effector in order to
specifically modulate host responses, for example toward other pattern
recognition receptor (PRR) ligands, such as LPS. IMPORTANCE Flagellins not only
are important for bacterial motility but are major bacterial proteins that can
modulate host responses via Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) or other pattern
recognition receptors. Campylobacterales colonizing the intestinal tracts of
different host species harbor a gene coding for an unusual flagellin, FlaC, that
is not involved in motility but is secreted and possesses a chimeric amino acid
sequence composed of TLR5-activating and non-TLR5-activating flagellin sequences.
Campylobacter jejuni FlaC activates cells to increase in cytokine expression in
chicken and human cells, promotes cross-tolerance to TLR4 ligands, and alters
chicken cecal microbiota. We propose that FlaC is a secreted effector flagellin
that has specifically evolved to modulate the immune response in the intestinal
tract in the presence of the resident microbiota and may contribute to bacterial
persistence. The results also strengthen the role of the flagellar type III
apparatus as a functional secretion system for bacterial effector proteins.
