The extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is a typical facultative
intracellular bacterial pathogen. Sensing the environmental stimuli and
undertaking adaptive change are crucial for ExPEC to successfully colonize in
specific extraintestinal niches. The previous studies show that pathogens exploit
two-component systems (TCSs) in response to the host environments during its
infection. The PhoP/PhoQ is a typical TCS which is ubiquitous in Gram-negative
bacteria. However, there is an incompletely understanding about critical
regulatory roles of PhoP/PhoQ in ExPEC pathogenesis. Conjugative ColV-related
plasmids are responsible for ExPEC virulence, which is associated with ExPEC
zoonotic risk. In this study, the molecular characteristics of HlyF, Mig-14
ortholog (Mig-14p), and OmpT variant (OmpTp) encoded by ColV plasmids were
identified. Mig-14p and OmpTp played important roles in conferring ExPEC
resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) during the infection.
Moreover, HlyF and Mig-14p acted as intracellular survival factors to promote
ExPEC resistance to macrophages killing. The hlyF and Mig-14p formed an operon in
ExPEC ColV plasmid, and PhoP acted as a transcriptional activator of hlyF operon
by directly binding to the P (hlyF) promoter. The acidic pH and CAMPs could
additively stimulate ExPEC PhoQ/PhoP activities to upregulate the expression of
HlyF and Mig-14p. Our studies revealed that the novel PhoP/PhoQ-HlyF signaling
pathway directly upregulates the production of ExPEC outer membrane vesicles.
Furthermore, our study first clarified that this PhoP/PhoQ-HlyF pathway was
essential for ExPEC intracellular survival in macrophages. It was required to
prevent the fusion of ExPEC-containing phagosomes with lysosomes. Moreover,
PhoP/PhoQ-HlyF pathway facilitated the inhibition of the phagolysosomal
acidification and disruption of the phagolysosomal membranes. In addition, this
pathway might promote the formation of ExPEC-containing autophagosome during
ExPEC replication in macrophages. Collectively, our studies suggested that
PhoP/PhoQ system and CloV plasmids could facilitate ExPEC survival and
replication within macrophages.
