Abstract
Type III secretion system (T3SS) facilitates survival and replication of Edwardsiella piscicida in vivo. Identifying novel T3SS effectors and elucidating their functions are critical in understanding the pathogenesis of E. piscicida. E. piscicida T3SS effector EseG and EseJ was highly secreted when T3SS gatekeeper-containing protein complex EsaB-EsaL-EsaM was disrupted by EsaB deficiency. Based on this observation, concentrated secretomes of ΔesaB strain and ΔesaBΔesaN strain were purified by loading them into SDS-PAGE gel for a short electrophoresis to remove impurities prior to the in-the gel digestion and mass spectrometry. Four reported T3SS effectors and two novel T3SS effector candidates EseQ (ETAE_2009) and Trx2 (ETAE_0559) were unraveled by quantitative comparison of the identified peptides. EseQ and Trx2 were revealed to be secreted and translocated in a T3SS-dependent manner through CyaA-based translocation assay and immunofluorescent staining, demonstrating that EseQ and Trx2 are the novel T3SS effectors of E. piscicida. Trx2 was found to suppress macrophage apoptosis as revealed by TUNEL staining and cleaved caspase-3 of infected J774A.1 monolayers. Moreover, Trx2 has been shown to inhibit the p65 phosphorylation and p65 translocation into the nucleus, thus blocking the NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, depletion of Trx2 slightly but significantly attenuates E. piscicida virulence in a fish infection model. Taken together, an efficient method was established in unraveling T3SS effectors in E. piscicida, and Trx2, one of the novel T3SS effectors identified in this study, was demonstrated to suppress apoptosis and block NF- κB pathway during E. piscicida infection. IMPORTANCE Edwardsiella piscicida is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes intestinal inflammation and hemorrhagic sepsis in fish and human. Virulence depends on the Edwardsiella type III secretion system (T3SS). Identifying the bacterial effector proteins secreted by T3SS and defining their role is key to understanding Edwardsiella pathogenesis. EsaB depletion disrupts the T3SS gatekeeper-containing protein complex, resulting in increased secretion of T3SS effectors EseG and EseJ. EseQ and Trx2 were shown to be the novel T3SS effectors of E. piscicida by a secretome comparison between ∆esaB strain and ∆esaB∆esaN strain (T3SS mutant), together with CyaA-based translocation assay. In addition, Trx2 has been shown to suppress macrophage apoptosis and block the NF-κB pathway. Together, this work expands the known repertoire of T3SS effectors and sheds light on the pathogenic mechanism of E. piscicida.

Abstract
Cathepsin H and Cathepsin B are two lysosomal cysteine proteases participating in various physiological processes including immune responses. In fish, the functional roles of Cathepsin H and Cathepsin B during bacterial infection are less understood. In a previous work, we characterized a Cathepsin B homologue (CsCatB) of half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis), an economically valuable fish species in China. In this report, we identified a Cathepsin H homologue (CsCatH) from C. semilaevis. In healthy tongue sole, the transcriptional expression of CsCatH was detected in nine different tissues. Laser scanning confocal microscopic analysis showed that ectopically expressed CsCatH and CsCatB were co-localized with the lysosome. Upon infection by Edwardsiella tarda, a significant fish pathogen which caused a severe fish disease termed edwardsiellosis, the expressions of CsCatH and CsCatB were remarkedly upregulated. The knockdown of CsCatH and CsCatB significantly increased the replication of E. tarda and mitigated E. tarda-induced apoptosis in tongue sole tissues. These findings revealed the importance of CsCatH and CsCatB in anti-bacterial immunity of tongue sole.

Abstract
Edwardsiella ictaluri, a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen, is the causative agent of enteric septicemia in channel catfish, and catfish aquaculture in China suffers heavy economic losses due to E. ictaluri infection. Vaccination is an effective control measure for this disease. In this study, an attenuated E. ictaluri strain was acquired through deletion mutation of the T3SS protein eseJei, and the ΔeseJei strain fails to replicate in the epithelioma papillosum of carp cells. The type 1 fimbria plays a pivotal role in the adhesion of E. ictaluri, and it was found in this study that deletion of -245 to -50 nt upstream of fimA increases its adhesion to around five times that of the WT strain. A hyper-adhesive and highly attenuated double mutant (ΔeseJeiΔfimA-245--50 strain) was constructed, and it was used as a vaccine candidate in yellow catfish via bath immersion at a dosage of 1 × 105 CFU/mL. It was found that this vaccine candidate can stimulate protection when challenged with E. ictaluri HSN-1 at 5 × 107 CFU/mL (∼20 × LD50). The survival rate was 83.61% for the vaccinated group and 33.33% for the sham-vaccinated group. The RPS (relative percent of survival) of the vaccination trial reached 75.41%. In conclusion, the ΔeseJeiΔfimA-245--50 strain developed in this study can be used as a vaccine candidate. It excels in terms of ease of delivery (via bath immersion) and is highly efficient in stimulating protection against E. ictaluri infection.

Abstract
Programmed cell death plays an important role in modulating host immune defense and pathogen infection. Ferroptosis is a type of inflammatory cell death induced by intracellular iron-dependent accumulation of toxic lipid peroxides. Although ferroptosis has been associated with cancer and other sterile diseases, very little is known about the role of ferroptosis in modulating host-pathogen interactions. We show that accumulation of the secondary messenger bis-(3′,5′)-cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) in the pathogenic bacterium Edwardsiella piscicida (E. piscicida) triggers a non-canonical ferroptosis pathway in infected HeLa cells. Moreover, we observed that the dysregulation of c-di-GMP in E. piscicida promotes iron accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and production of reactive oxygen species, all of which that can be blocked by iron chelator. Importantly, unlike classical ferroptosis that is executed via excess lipid peroxidation, no lipid peroxidation was detected in the infected cells. Furthermore, lipoxygenases inhibitors and lipophilic antioxidants are not able to suppress morphological changes and cell death induced by E. piscicida mutant producing excess c-di-GMP, and this c-di-GMP dysregulation attenuates bacterial virulence in vivo. Collectively, our results reveal a novel non-canonical ferroptosis pathway mediated by bacterial c-di-GMP and provide evidence for a role of ferroptosis in the regulation of pathogen infection.

Edwardsiella piscicida YefM-YoeB: A Type II Toxin-Antitoxin System That Is Related to Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation, Serum Survival, and Host Infection. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:646299. [PMID: 33732226 PMCID: PMC7957083 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.646299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The emergence of drug resistant bacteria is a tricky and confronted problem in modern medicine, and one of important reasons is the widespread of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in pathogenic bacteria. Edwardsiella piscicida (also known as E. tarda) is the leading pathogen threatening worldwide fresh and seawater aquaculture industries and has been considered as a model organism for studying intracellular and systemic infections. However, the role of type II TA systems are completely unknown in aquatic pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we identified and characterized a type II TA system, YefM-YoeB, of E. piscicida, where YefM is the antitoxin and YoeB is the toxin. yefM and yoeB are co-expressed in a bicistronic operon. When expressed in E. coli, YoeB cause bacterial growth arrest, which was restored by the addition of YefM. To investigate the biological role of the TA system, two markerless yoeB and yefM-yoeB in-frame mutant strains, TX01ΔyoeB and TX01ΔyefM-yoeB, were constructed, respectively. Compared to the wild strain TX01, TX01ΔyefM-yoeB exhibited markedly reduced resistance against oxidative stress and antibiotic, and markedly reduced ability to form persistent bacteria. The deletion of yefM-yoeB enhanced the bacterial ability of high temperature tolerance, biofilm formation, and host serum resistance, which is the first study about the relationship between type II TA system and serum resistance. In vitro infection experiment showed that the inactivation of yefM-yoeB greatly enhanced bacterial capability of adhesion in host cells. Consistently, in vivo experiment suggested that the yefM-yoeB mutation had an obvious positive effect on bacteria dissemination of fish tissues and general virulence. Introduction of a trans-expressed yefM-yoeB restored the virulence of TX01ΔyefM-yoeB. These findings suggest that YefM-YoeB is involved in responding adverse circumstance and pathogenicity of E. piscicida. In addition, we found that YefM-YoeB negatively autoregulated the expression of yefM-yoeB and YefM could directly bind with own promoter. This study provides first insights into the biological activity of type II TA system YefM-YoeB in aquatic pathogenic bacteria and contributes to understand the pathogenesis of E. piscicida.

A Re-evaluation of the Taxonomy and Classification of the Type III Secretion System in a Pathogenic Bacterium Causing Soft Rot Disease of Pleurotus eryngii. Curr Microbiol 2020; 78:179-189.

Abstract
Pantoea beijingensis, a gram-negative pathogenic bacterium, causes soft rot disease in the fungus Pleurotus eryngii in China. However, the taxonomic classification of this pathogen is controversial due to close relationships between bacteria of the genera Pantoea and Erwinia. This study aimed to resolve the identity of P. beijingensis using phylogenomic and systematic analyses of Pantoea and Erwinia by whole-genome sequencing. Single-copy orthologs identified from the Erwinia/Pantoea core genomes were used to delineate Erwinia/Pantoea phylogeny. P. beijingensis LMG27579T clustered within a single Erwinia clade. A whole-genome-based phylogenetic tree and average nucleotide and amino-acid identity values indicate that P. beijingensis LMG27579T should be renamed Erwinia beijingensis. The hrp/hrc genes encoding type III secretion system (T3SS) proteins in Erwinia and Pantoea were divided into five groups according to gene contents and organization. Neighbor-joining-inferred phylogenetic trees based on concatenated HrcU, HrcN, and HrcR in the main hrp/hrc cluster showed that E. beijingensis T3SS proteins are closely related to those in Ewingella americana, implying that E. beijingensis and E. americana have a recent common hrp/hrc gene ancestor. Furthermore, T3SS proteins of Erwinia and Pantoea were clustered in different clades separated by other bacterial T3SS proteins. Thus, T3SS genes in Pantoea and Erwinia strains might have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer. Overall, our findings clarify the taxonomy of the bacterium causing soft rot in P. eryngii, as well as the genetic structure and classification of the hrp/hrc T3SS virulence factor. We propose that T3SS acquisition is important for E. beijingensis emergence and pathogenesis.

Abstract
Aeromonas salmonicida is a gram-negative bacterium that is the causative agent of furunculosis. An A. salmonicida strain was isolated from diseased turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) with the sign of furunculosis from North China. Based on vapA gene, the strain was further classified as A. salmonicida subsp. masoucida RZ6S-1. Culturing RZ6S-1 strain at high temperature (28°C) obtained the virulence attenuated strain RZ6S. Genome sequence comparison between the two strains revealed the loss of the type IV secretion system (T4SS) and type III secretion system (T3SS) from the native plasmid pAsmB-1 and pAsmC-1 of wild-type strain RZ6S-1, respectively. Further study demonstrated that the wild-type strain RZ6S-1, but not its derivative mutant RZ6S, can stimulate apoptosis. Elevated protein level of cleaved caspase-3 was detected from epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells infected with wild-type strain RZ6S-1 as compared with that infected with RZ6S strain. Meanwhile, the invasion of the mutant strain RZ6S was about 17-fold higher than the wild-type strain RZ6S-1, suggesting that some protein(s) from A. salmonicida subsp. masoucida RZ6S-1 suppress its invasion. The RZ6S mutant strain was attenuated, since its LD50 is over 10,000 times higher compared to the wild-type strain as revealed in the turbot infection model.
