ABSTRACT The ability of Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolates to attach to Caco-2 and HT-29 cell monolayers was measured. All isolates displayed a greater ability to attach to Caco-2 cells than HT-29 cells, and overall E. coli isolates attached better to both cell lines than Salmonella isolates. Bacteria that were considered to be pathogenic displayed no greater ability to attach to cell lines than those that were not considered to be pathogenic. Additionally, no correlation was found between cell line attachment and previously determined hydrophobicity results.

Resident and transient Escherichia coli strains were identified in the rectal flora of 22 Pakistani infants followed from birth to 6 months of age. All strains were tested for O-antigen expression, adhesin specificity (P fimbriae, other mannose-resistant adhesins or type 1 fimbriae) and adherence to the colonic cell line HT-29. Resident strains displayed higher mannose- resistant adherence to HT-29 cells, and expressed P fimbriae (P=0·0036) as well as other mannose-resistant adhesins (P=0·012) more often than transient strains. In strains acquired during the first month of life, P fimbriae were 12 times more frequent in resident than in transient strains (P=0·0006). The O-antigen distribution did not differ between resident and transient strains, and none of the resident P-fimbriated strains belonged to previously recognized uropathogenic clones. The results suggest that adhesins mediating adherence to intestinal epithelial cells, especially P fimbriae, enhance the persistence of E. coli in the large intestine of infants.

We investigated the ability of Escherichia coli isolated from septic patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) to translocate through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of the same patients using cell-culture models. Forty-seven hospitalized patients with urosepsis were included in this study. E. coli was isolated from their urine and blood (total 94 isolates) and investigated for genetic relatedness and interaction with the cell lines A-498 and HT-29. An initial comparison of the strains isolated from urine and blood showed that 44 out of 47 patients (94 %) had identical strains in their blood and urine. The blood isolates adhered to both cell lines, although their rate of adherence to A-498 cells was significantly higher than that to HT-29 cells (5.8±3.8 per cell vs 2.8±1.9; P<0.0001). The rate of translocation in A-498 cells was also significantly higher after 120 min (8.7×105 vs 2.9×105; P = 0.0006). Three non-identical blood isolates were unable to translocate in HT-29 cells, indicating that host immune factors might be more important than bacterial ability to translocate the GI epithelium in these patients. Our data showed that blood isolates from uroseptic patients are able to adhere to and translocate through both cell lines. This suggests that E. coli in patients with UTI may translocate from either the GI tract or the urinary tract, hence questioning the assumption that the urinary tract is the only source of septicaemia in these patients.

ABSTRACT Pathogenic Escherichia coli associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in otherwise healthy individuals frequently produce cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 1 (CNF1), a member of the family of bacterial toxins that target the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins. To gain insight into the function of CNF1 in the development of E. coli-mediated UTIs, we examined the effects of CNF1 intoxication on a panel of human cell lines derived from physiologically relevant sites (bladder, ureters, and kidneys). We identified one uroepithelial cell line that exhibited a distinctly different CNF1 intoxication phenotype from the prototypic one of multinucleation without cell death that is seen when HEp-2 or other epithelial cells are treated with CNF1. The 5637 bladder cell line detached from the growth surface within 72 h of CNF1 intoxication, a finding that suggested frank cytotoxicity. To determine the basis for the unexpected toxic effect of CNF1 on 5637 cells, we compared the degree of toxin binding, actin fiber formation, and Rho modification with those CNF1-induced events in HEp-2 cells. We found no apparent difference in the amount of CNF1 bound to 5637 cells and HEp-2 cells. Moreover, CNF1 modified Rho, in vivo and in vitro, in both cell types. In contrast, one of the classic responses to CNF1 in HEp-2 and other epithelial cell lines, the formation of actin stress fibers, was markedly absent in 5637 cells. Indeed, actin stress fiber induction by CNF1 did not occur in any of the other human bladder cell lines that we tested (J82, SV-HUC-1, or T24). Furthermore, the appearance of lamellipodia and filopodia in 5637 cells suggested that CNF1 activated the Cdc42 and Rac proteins. Finally, apoptosis was observed in CNF1-intoxicated 5637 cells. If our results with 5637 cells reflect the interaction of CNF1 with the transitional uroepithelium in the human bladder, then CNF1 may be involved in the exfoliative process that occurs in that organ after infection with uropathogenic E. coli.

Purpose: It has been suggested that Shiga-like toxins produced by Escherichia coli O157:H7 could be used as novel therapeutic agents against malignant tumors. In addition, the antitumor potency of local isolates from Indonesia, which are known to be less toxic than the control isolate ATCC 43894, has not yet been tested. The study aimed to analyze local strains of E. coli O157:H7 as a proapoptosis agent on the T47 breast cancer cell line. Methods: As many as 30 culture cells of T47D breast cancer cell line were subjected to purified extracts of Shiga-like toxin originating from 5 local isolates of E. coli O157:H7: KL-48(2), SM-25(1), SM-7(1), DS-21(4), and 1 isolate ATCC 43894 which was used as a control. Toxin production of each isolate was detected using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the treatment of cell lines was observed for 24 hours, with 2 replications; 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide tests and acridine orange/ethidium bromide double staining assays were used for detection and analyses of apoptosis. Results: The study showed 2 local strains of E. coli O157:H7 (codes KL-48(2) and SM-25(1)) had toxins positive at titer 5 and 10 μg/100 μL. These titers were lower than the control isolate ATCC 43894, but they had a necrosis effect higher ( P < .05), ie, 80.3%, than control isolate, ie, 63.3%. Other local strain SM-25(1) also had a good necrosis effect. It has a nondifferent necrosis effect ( P > .05) with the control isolate ATCC 43894, ie, 13.0% from 13.3%. Conclusion: This study concludes that the Shiga toxin produced by E. coli O157:H7 local isolate (Indonesia) has potential as a proapoptotic and/or necrotic agent for treating T47 breast cancer cell lines, as effectively as ATCC 43894 control isolates.

ABSTRACT The genomes of many strains of Escherichia coli have been sequenced, as this organism is a classic model bacterium. Here, we report the genome sequence of Escherichia coli DH5α, which is resistant to a T4 bacteriophage (CCTCC AB 2015375), while its other homologous E. coli strains, such as E. coli BL21, DH10B, and MG1655, are not resistant to phage invasions. Thus, understanding of the genome of the DH5α strain, along with comparative analysis of its genome sequence along with other sequences of E. coli strains, may help to reveal the bacteriophage resistance mechanism of E. coli .

In this study, two SiPcs have been selected and the photodynamic therapy potentials were evaluated of the Pcs. Synthesis of Axially 2-decyn-1-oxy disubstituted Es-SiPc-2 was newly synthesized by the reaction of SiPcCl2 with 2-decyn-1-ol in the presence of NaH in toluene. Furthermore, their nuclear imaging potentials were evaluated in human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) and human lung fibroblast cell (WI-38) cell lines. The uptake results have indicated that Es-SiPc labeled with [Formula: see text]I radionuclide ([Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc) was approximately 2-fold higher in the HT-29 cell line than the WI-38 cell line. In other words, the target/non-target tissue ratio is defined as two in the HT-29/WI-38 cell lines. Besides, the uptake values of [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc were found to be higher than [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc-2. [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc and [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc-2 are promising for imaging or treating colon adenocarcinoma. In vitrophotodynamic therapy (PDT) studies have shown that both compounds are suitable and can be used in this field. Also, Es-SiPc has been shown to have higher phototoxicity than Es-SiPc-2.

The phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), induces mucin secretion in the colonic tumor cell line T84 in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. To determine whether a specific protein kinase C (PKC) isoform is involved in colonic cells, we compared PMA-dependent mucin secretion by three human colonic tumor cell lines (T84, HT-29/A1, and LS 180) with the expression of PKC isoforms alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, and zeta, previously identified in human colon (L. A. Davidson, Y. H. Jiang, J. D. Derr, H. Aukema, J. R. Lupton, and R. S. Chapkin. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 312:547-553, 1994). In each cell line PMA (10(-7) M) caused mucin secretion within 30 min. PMA-dependent mucin secretion was three to four times greater from HT-29/A1 and T84 cells than from LS 180 cells. All three-cell lines contained mRNA for PKC-alpha, PKC-epsilon, and PKC-zeta but not PKC-beta or -delta. Each cell line also expressed PKC-alpha, -epsilon, and -zeta protein. PKC-epsilon expression (mRNA and protein) was three to four times greater in HT-29/A1 and T84 cells than in LS 180 cells, correlating with PMA-responsive mucin secretion, whereas all cell lines contained similar levels of PKC-alpha mRNA and protein. When cells were stimulated by PMA, only PKC-epsilon was translocated from cytosol to membrane fractions early enough to stimulate mucin secretion. Because PKC-epsilon is also a Ca(2+)-independent isoform, it is likely to mediate mucin exocytosis in colonic cells.

Arylalkylidene derivatives of aminotriazoles (3a-3j) were synthesized and tested for their antimicrobial and anticancer activity. Four non-pathogenic bacteria [E. coli (NCIM 2068), K. pneumoniae (NCIM 2957), S. aureus (NCIM 2079), B. subtilis (NCIM 2921)] two fungi [C. albicans, A. niger] and two cancer cell lines [HBL-100 and HT-29] were employed in the study. All the compounds were found to have better antibacterial activity against B. subtilis than Ciprofloxacin (standard) and compound 3i was equivalent to Ciprofloxacin in inhibiting S. aureas. Similarly all the compounds inhibited the growth of A. niger better than Fluconazole and compound 3c was equivalent to Fluconazole (standard) in inhibiting C. albicans. In case of anticancer activity none of the molecule exhibited activity better than the standard used (Methotrexate), though they have inhibitory concentration at submicromolar level.
