Abstract
Murine models are often used to study the pathogenicity and dissemination of the enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Here, we quantified S. Typhimurium population dynamics in mice using the STAMPR analytic pipeline and a highly diverse S. Typhimurium barcoded library containing ~55,000 unique strains distinguishable by genomic barcodes by enumerating S. Typhimurium founding populations and deciphering routes of spread in mice. We found that a severe bottleneck allowed only one in a million cells from an oral inoculum to establish a niche in the intestine. Furthermore, we observed compartmentalization of pathogen populations throughout the intestine, with few barcodes shared between intestinal segments and feces. This severe bottleneck widened and compartmentalization was reduced after streptomycin treatment, suggesting the microbiota plays a key role in restricting the pathogen's colonization and movement within the intestine. Additionally, there was minimal sharing between the intestine and extraintestinal organ populations, indicating dissemination to extraintestinal sites occurs rapidly, before substantial pathogen expansion in the intestine. Bypassing the intestinal bottleneck by inoculating mice via intravenous or intraperitoneal injection revealed that Salmonella re-enters the intestine after establishing niches in extraintestinal sites by at least two distinct pathways. One pathway results in a diverse intestinal population. The other re-seeding pathway is through the bile, where the pathogen is often clonal, leading to clonal intestinal populations and correlates with gallbladder pathology. Together, these findings deepen our understanding of Salmonella population dynamics.

Abstract
Introduction. Salmonella Typhimurium (STM) is a food-borne Gram-negative bacterium, which can infect humans and a wide range of livestock and poultry, causing a variety of diseases such as septicaemia, enteritis and abortion.Hypothesis/Gap Statement. We will decipher the impacts of sRNA STnc1280 on STM virulence and provide a theoretical basis to reveal the regulatory role and molecular mechanism of STnc1280.Aim. The main objective of this study was to clarify whether sRNA STnc1280 exerts regulatory roles on STM pathogenicity.Methodology. The STnc1280 gene was amplified and its molecular characteristics were analysed in this study. Then, STnc1280 gene deletion strain (STM-ΔSTnc1280) and the complementary strain (ΔSTnc1280/STnc1280) were constructed by λ-Red homologous recombination method, respectively, to analyse of adhesion and invasive ability and pathogenicity of different strains. Subsequently, the potential target gene regulated by STnc1280 was predicted using target RNA2 software, followed by the verification of the interaction between STnc1280 and target mRNA using the dual plasmid reporter system (DPRS). Furthermore, the mRNA and protein level of target gene was determined using qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively.Results. The results revealed that the cell adhesion and invasive ability and pathogenicity of STM-ΔSTnc1280 were significantly reduced compared to STM-SL1344 strain, indicating that the deficiency of STnc1280 gene significantly influenced STM pathogenicity. The DPRS results showed that STnc1280 can interact with the mRNA of target gene gldA, thus suppressing the expression of lacZ gene. Furthermore, the level of gldA mRNA was not influenced in STM-ΔSTnc1280, but the expression of GldA protein decreased significantly.Conclusion. Combining the bioinformatic analysis, these findings suggested that STnc1280 may bind to the SD sequence of gldA mRNA, hindering the binding of ribosomes to gldA mRNA, thereby inhibiting the expression of GldA protein to modulate the virulence of STM.

Abstract
Numerous intracellular bacterial pathogens interfere with macrophage function, including macrophage polarization, to establish a niche and persist. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of macrophage polarization during infection within host remain to be investigated. Here, we implement a model of persistent Salmonella Typhimurium infection in zebrafish, which allows visualization of polarized macrophages and bacteria in real time at high resolution. While macrophages polarize toward M1-like phenotype to control early infection, during later stages, Salmonella persists inside non-inflammatory clustered macrophages. Transcriptomic profiling of macrophages showed a highly dynamic signature during infection characterized by a switch from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory/pro-regenerative status and revealed a shift in adhesion program. In agreement with this specific adhesion signature, macrophage trajectory tracking identifies motionless macrophages as a permissive niche for persistent Salmonella. Our results demonstrate that zebrafish model provides a unique platform to explore, in a whole organism, the versatile nature of macrophage functional programs during bacterial acute and persistent infections.

Abstract
Human norovirus (HNoVs) and Salmonella are both very important foodborne pathogens with mixed infection of HNoV and Salmonella reported clinically. With the use of model organism zebrafish (Danio rerio), it was observed that the sequential infection of HNoVs and Salmonella caused lower survival rates (12.5 ± 4.2%) than the single-pathogen infection by Salmonella (31.6 ± 7.3%, P < 0.05) or HNoVs (no mortality observed). Gene expression study with the use of RT-PCR and global transcriptomic analysis revealed that the mortality of zebrafish larvae was very likely due to the harmful inflammatory responses. Specifically, it was noted that the genes encoding aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1), also known as immunoresponsive gene 1 (IRG1), were significantly upregulated in the sequentially infected zebrafish larvae. The expression of acod1 could lead to mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The ROS levels were indeed higher in sequentially infected zebrafish larvae than the single-pathogen infected ones (P < 0.05). An immersion treatment of glutathione or citraconate did not affect the microbial loads of HNoVs and Salmonella but significantly reduced the ROS levels and protected the zebrafish larvae by inducing higher survival rates in the sequentially infected zebrafish larvae (P < 0.05). Taken together, this study accumulated new knowledge over the function of ACOD1/IRG1 pathway in infectious diseases, and proposed possible treatment strategies accordingly.

Abstract
Salmonella infection significantly increases nitrate levels in the intestine, immune cells, and immune organs of the host, and it can exploit nitrate as an electron acceptor to enhance its growth. In the presence of nitrate or nitrite, NarL, a regulatory protein of the Nar two-component system, is activated and regulates a number of genes involved in nitrate metabolism. However, research on NarL at the post-translational level is limited. In this study, we demonstrate that the DNA-binding sites K188 and 192 of NarL can be acetylated by bacterial metabolite acetyl phosphate and that the degree of acetylation has a considerable influence on the regulatory function of NarL. Specifically, acetylation of NarL negatively regulates the transcription of narG, narK, and napF, which affects the utilization of nitrate in Salmonella. Besides, both cell and mouse models show that acetylated K188 and K192 result in attenuated replication in RAW 264.7 cells, as well as impaired virulence in mouse model. Together, this research identifies a novel NarL acetylation mechanism that regulates Salmonella virulence, providing a new insight and target for salmonellosis treatment.IMPORTANCESalmonella is an important intracellular pathogen that can cause limited gastroenteritis and self-limiting gastroenteritis in immunocompetent humans. Nitrate, the highest oxidation state form of nitrogen, is critical in the formation of systemic infection in Salmonella. It functions as a signaling molecule that influences Salmonella chemotaxis, in addition to acting as a reduced external electron acceptor for Salmonella anaerobic respiration. NarL is an essential regulatory protein involved in nitrate metabolism in Salmonella, and comprehending its regulatory mechanism is necessary. Previous research has linked NarL phosphorylation to the formation of its dimer, which is required for NarL to perform its regulatory functions. Our research demonstrated that acetylation also affects the regulatory function of NarL. We found that acetylation affects Salmonella pathogenicity by weakening the ability of NarL to bind to the target sequence, further refining the mechanism of the anaerobic nitrate respiration pathway.

Abstract
As a potent clinical strategy, cancer therapy has sparked an academic boom over the past few years. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been demonstrated to be highly successful. These achievements have progressed cancer treatment and have made an indelible mark on cancer. However, the inherent complexity of cancer means that only part of the population can benefit from this treatment. Pyroptosis is a new suicidal cellular mechanism that induces inflammation by releasing immunogenic cellular components. Inflammatory signaling cascades mediated by pyroptosis commonly inspire numerous cell lysis in immune diseases. Contrariwise, this consequence may be a promising target in cancer research. Therefore, the present study briefly described programmed cell death processes and their potential roles in cancer. Because of the rapid development of bioengineering in cancer, the present study also examined the associated scaffolding available for cancer, highlighting advances in tumor engineering approaches. Ultimately, an improved understanding of pyroptosis and tumor scaffolding might shed light on a combination that can be manipulated for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi), the invasive typhoidal serovar of Salmonella enterica that causes typhoid fever in humans, is a severe threat to global health. It is one of the major causes of high morbidity and mortality in developing countries. According to recent WHO estimates, approximately 11-21 million typhoid fever illnesses occur annually worldwide, accounting for 0.12-0.16 million deaths. Salmonella infection can spread to healthy individuals by the consumption of contaminated food and water. Typhoid fever in humans sometimes is accompanied by several other critical extraintestinal complications related to the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, pulmonary system, and hepatobiliary system. Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-1 and Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-2 are the two genomic segments containing genes encoding virulent factors that regulate its invasion and systemic pathogenesis. This Review aims to shed light on a comparative analysis of the virulence and pathogenesis of the typhoidal and nontyphoidal serovars of S. enterica.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a group of facultative, gram-negative bacteria. Recently, new evidence indicated that Salmonella could reprogram the host metabolism to increase energy or metabolites available for intracellular replication. In this study, using a chicken-specific kinomic immunometabolism peptide array analysis, we found that infection by S. Enteritidis induced significant phosphorylation changes in many key proteins of the glycolytic pathway in chicken macrophage HD-11 cells, indicating a shift in glycolysis caused by Salmonella infection. Nitric oxide production and changes of glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) represented by extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR), respectively, were measured in chicken macrophages infected with three Salmonella strains (S. Enteritidis, S. Heidelberg, and S. Senftenberg). The infection reduced glycolysis and enhanced OXPHOS in chicken macrophages as indicated by changes of ECAR and OCR. Salmonella strains differentially affected macrophage polarization and glycolysis. Among three strains tested, S. Enteritidis was most effective in downregulating glycolysis and promoting M2 polarization as measured by ECAR, ORC, and NO production; while S. Senftenberg did not alter glycolysis and may promote M1 polarization. Our results suggested that downregulation of host cell glycolysis and increase of M2 polarization of macrophages may contribute to increased intracellular survival of S. Enteritidis.

Abstract
Salmonella, a stealthy facultative intracellular pathogen, utilises an array of host immune evasion strategies. This facilitates successful survival via replicative niche establishment in otherwise hostile environments such as macrophages. Salmonella survives in and utilises macrophages for effective dissemination, ultimately leading to systemic infection. Bacterial xenophagy or macro-autophagy is an important host defense mechanism in macrophages. Here, we report for the first time that the Salmonella pathogenicity island-1 (SPI-1) effector SopB is involved in subverting host autophagy via dual mechanisms. SopB is a phosphoinositide phosphatase capable of altering the phosphoinositide dynamics of the host cell. Here, we demonstrate that SopB mediates escape from autophagy by inhibiting the terminal fusion of Salmonella-containing vacuoles (SCVs) with lysosomes and/or autophagosomes. We also report that SopB downregulates overall lysosomal biogenesis by modulating the Akt-transcription factor EB (TFEB) axis via restricting the latter's nuclear localisation. TFEB is a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. This reduces the overall lysosome content inside host macrophages, further facilitating the survival of Salmonella in macrophages and systemic dissemination of Salmonella.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane-enveloped vesicles secreted by prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, which are commonly defined as membrane vesicles (MVs) and exosomes, respectively. They play critical roles in the bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-host interactions. In infectious diseases caused by bacteria, as the first line of defense against pathogens, the macrophage polarization mode commonly determines the success or failure of the host's response to pathogen aggression. M1-type macrophages secrete pro-inflammatory factors that support microbicidal activity, while alternative M2-type macrophages secrete anti-inflammatory factors that perform an antimicrobial immune response but partially allow pathogens to replicate and survive intracellularly. Membrane vesicles (MVs) released from bacteria as a distinctive secretion system can carry various components, including bacterial effectors, nucleic acids, or lipids to modulate macrophage polarization in host-pathogen interaction. Similar to MVs, bacteria-infected macrophages can secrete exosomes containing a variety of components to manipulate the phenotypic polarization of "bystander" macrophages nearby or long distance to differentiate into type M1 or M2 to regulate the course of inflammation. Exosomes can also repair tissue damage associated with the infection by upregulating the levels of anti-inflammatory factors, downregulating the pro-inflammatory factors, and regulating cellular biological behaviors. The study of the mechanisms by which EVs modulate macrophage polarization has opened new frontiers in delineating the molecular machinery involved in bacterial pathogenesis and challenges in providing new strategies for diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Upon entering host cells, Salmonella quickly turns off flagella biogenesis to avoid recognition by the host immune system. However, it is not clear which host signal(s) Salmonella senses to initiate flagellum control. Here, we demonstrate that the acid signal can suppress flagella synthesis and motility of Salmonella, and this occurs after the transcription of master flagellar gene flhDC and depends on the anti-FlhDC factor YdiV. YdiV expression is activated after acid treatment. A global screen with ydiV promoter DNA and total protein from acid-treated Salmonella revealed a novel regulator of YdiV, the acid-related transcription factor CadC. Further studies showed that CadCC, the DNA binding domain of CadC, directly binds to a 33 nt region of the ydiV promoter with a 0.2 μM KD affinity. Furthermore, CadC could separate H-NS-ydiV promoter DNA complex to form CadC-DNA complex at a low concentration. Structural simulation and mutagenesis assays revealed that H43 and W106 of CadC are essential for ydiV promoter binding. No acid-induced flagellum control phenotype was observed in cadC mutant or ydiV mutant strains, suggesting that flagellum control during acid adaption is dependent on CadC and YdiV. The intracellular survival ability of cadC mutant strain decreased significantly compared with WT strain while the flagellin expression could not be effectively controlled in the cadC mutant strain when surviving within host cells. Together, our results demonstrated that acid stress acts as an important host signal to trigger Salmonella flagellum control through the CadC-YdiV-FlhDC axis, allowing Salmonella to sense a hostile environment and regulate flagellar synthesis during infection.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization affects the progression of pathogenic bacterial infections. Lactobacillus is widely used to interact with macrophages and to exert specific immunomodulatory activities. In this study, we investigated the regulation of macrophage polarization against Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (STM) by Lactobacillus plantarum JL01 (LP), to explore prevention and treatment strategies for salmonellosis. We assessed the in vitro differential polarization of RAW 264.7 macrophages and mouse bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) by LP against STM, by measuring protein and cytokine levels, and bactericidal activity. In addition, we assessed the protective effects of LP against STM by evaluating weight loss, survival, the burden of STM in tissues, the polarization of macrophages in the spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), intestinal histopathology, and cytokine production. LP slightly affected the polarization of RAW 264.7, a slight M1-skewing. LP promoted the RAW 264.7 bactericidal activity against STM. In BMMs, M1 polarization induced by LP was significantly lower than the M1-positive phenotype. The combination of LP with M1 synergistically improved M1 polarization and bactericidal activity against STM compared to the individual effects. LP promoted the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Supplementation with the NF-κB inhibitor decreased M1 polarization induced by LP. We observed the protective effect of LP against STM in C57BL/6 mice, through a decrease in weight loss, mortality, STM burden in the liver, and promotion of macrophage M1 and M2 polarization in the spleen and MLNs; though M1 was higher, it did not cause inflammatory damage. In summary, LP can synergistically promote M1 polarization in combination with the M1 phenotype through the NF-κB signaling pathway and increases resistance against S. Typhimurium infection. These findings will lay the foundation for the prevention and treatment of S. Typhimurium infections in the future.

Abstract
The metal ion manganese (Mn2+) is equally coveted by hosts and bacterial pathogens. The host restricts Mn2+ in the gastrointestinal tract and Salmonella-containing vacuoles, as part of a process generally known as nutritional immunity. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium counteract Mn2+ limitation using a plethora of metal importers, whose expression is under elaborate transcriptional and posttranscriptional control. Mn2+ serves as cofactor for a variety of enzymes involved in antioxidant defense or central metabolism. Because of its thermodynamic stability and low reactivity, bacterial pathogens may favor Mn2+-cofactored metalloenzymes during periods of oxidative stress. This divalent metal catalyzes metabolic flow through lower glycolysis, reductive tricarboxylic acid and the pentose phosphate pathway, thereby providing energetic, redox and biosynthetic outputs associated with the resistance of Salmonella to reactive oxygen species generated in the respiratory burst of professional phagocytic cells. Combined, the oxyradical-detoxifying properties of Mn2+ together with the ability of this divalent metal cation to support central metabolism help Salmonella colonize the mammalian gut and establish systemic infections.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is an intracellular pathogen that parasitizes macrophages from within a vacuole. The vacuolar environment prompts the bacterium to regulate the lipid composition of the outer membrane (OM), and this influences host inflammation. S. Typhimurium regulates the levels of acidic glycerophospholipids known as cardiolipins (CL) within the OM, and mitochondrial CL molecules can prime and activate host inflammasomes. However, the contribution of S. Typhimurium’s CL biosynthesis genes to intracellular survival, inflammasome activation, and pathogenesis had not been examined. S. Typhimurium genes encode three CL synthases. Single, double, and triple mutants were constructed. Similar to other Enterobacteriaceae, ClsA is the primary CL synthase for S. Typhimurium during logarithmic growth, while ClsB and ClsC contribute CL production in stationary phase. It was necessary to delete all three genes to diminish the CL content of the envelope. Despite being devoid of CL molecules, ΔclsABC mutants were highly virulent during oral and systemic infection for C57BL/6J mice. In macrophages, ΔclsA, ΔclsB, ΔclsC, and ΔclsAC mutants behaved like the wild type, whereas ΔclsAB, ΔclsBC, and ΔclsABC mutants were attenuated and elicited reduced amounts of secreted interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), IL-18, and lactate dehydrogenase. Hence, when clsA and clsC are deleted, clsB is necessary and sufficient to promote intracellular survival and inflammasome activation. Similarly, when clsB is deleted, clsA and clsC are necessary and sufficient. Therefore, the three CL synthase genes cooperatively and redundantly influence S. Typhimurium inflammasome activation and intracellular survival in C57BL/6J mouse macrophages but are dispensable for virulence in mice. IMPORTANCESalmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium that regulates the cardiolipin (CL) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) composition of the outer membrane (OM) during infection. Mitochondrial CL molecules activate the inflammasome and its effector caspase-1, which initiates an inflammatory process called pyroptosis. Purified bacterial CL molecules also influence LPS activation of Toll-like receptor 4 (Tlr4). S. Typhimurium resides within macrophage vacuoles and activates Tlr4 and the inflammasome during infection. However, the contribution of the three bacterial CL synthase genes (cls) to microbial pathogenesis and inflammation had not been tested. This study supports that the genes encoding the CL synthases work coordinately to promote intracellular survival in macrophages and to activate the inflammasome but do not influence inflammatory cytokine production downstream of Tlr4 or virulence in C57BL/6J mice. The macrophage phenotypes are not directly attributable to CL production but are caused by deleting specific combinations of cls gene products.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a gastroenteric Gram-negative bacterium that can infect both humans and animals and causes millions of illnesses per year around the world. Salmonella infections usually occur after the consumption of contaminated food or water. Infections with Salmonella species can cause diseases ranging from enterocolitis to typhoid fever. Salmonella has developed multiple strategies to invade and establish a systemic infection in the host. Different cell types, including epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and M cells, are important in the infection process of Salmonella. Dissemination throughout the body and colonization of remote organs are hallmarks of Salmonella infection. There are several routes for the dissemination of Salmonella typhimurium. This review summarizes the current understanding of the infection mechanisms of Salmonella. Additionally, different routes of Salmonella infection will be discussed. In this review, the strategies used by Salmonella enterica to establish persistent infection will be discussed. Understanding both the bacterial and host factors leading to the successful colonization of Salmonella enterica may enable the rational design of effective therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is one of the most common foodborne illnesses in the United States and worldwide, with nearly one-third of the cases attributed to contaminated eggs and poultry products. Vaccination has proven to be an effective strategy to reduce Salmonella load in poultry. The Salmonella Typhimurium Δcrp-cya (MeganVac1) strain is the most commonly used vaccine in the United States; however, the mechanisms of virulence attenuation and host response to this vaccine strain are poorly understood. Here, we profiled the invasion and intracellular survival phenotypes of Δcrp-cya and its derivatives (lacking key genes required for intra-macrophage survival) in HD11 macrophages and the transcriptome response in primary chicken macrophages using RNA-seq. Compared to the parent strain UK1, all the mutant strains were highly defective in metabolizing carbon sources related to the TCA cycle and had greater doubling times in macrophage-simulating conditions. Compared to UK1, the majority of the mutants were attenuated for invasion and intra-macrophage survival. Compared to Δcrp-cya, while derivatives lacking phoPQ, ompR-envZ, feoABC and sifA were highly attenuated for invasion and intracellular survival within macrophages, derivatives lacking ssrAB, SPI13, SPI2, mgtRBC, sitABCD, sopF, sseJ and sspH2 showed increased ability to invade and survive within macrophages. Transcriptome analyses of macrophages infected with UK1, Δcrp-cya and its derivatives lacking phoPQ, sifA and sopF demonstrated that, compared to uninfected macrophages, 138, 148, 153, 155 and 142 genes were differentially expressed in these strains, respectively. Similar changes in gene expression were observed in macrophages infected with these strains; the upregulated genes belonged to innate immune response and host defense and the downregulated genes belonged to various metabolic pathways. Together, these data provide novel insights on the relative phenotypes and early response of macrophages to the vaccine strain and its derivatives. The Δcrp-cya derivatives could facilitate development of next-generation vaccines with improved safety.

The Outer Membrane Vesicles of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Activate Chicken Immune Cells through Lipopolysaccharides and Membrane Proteins. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11030339.

Abstract
Salmonella is a common pathogen which can secrete outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). However, the effect of OMVs from Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) of poultry origin on cells of the chicken innate immune system is not well known. In this study, S. Typhimurium OMVs were first isolated from three different poultry strains of Salmonella, Salmonella CVCC542, SALA, and SALB. In order to investigate the effect of OMVs on the maturation of monocytes into macrophages, both bone marrow-derived (BMD) monocytes and macrophage cell line HD11 cells were used. OMVs promoted the formation of monocyte dendrites in both types of cells, enabled BMD cells to become larger, and stimulated expression of LPS-induced TNF-αfactor (LITAF), IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) genes in HD11 cells. These results demonstrated the capability of OMVs to promote the development of chicken monocytes into macrophages and the maturation of macrophages. In order to study the effect of OMVs on the phagocytosis of macrophages, chicken spleen-derived monocytes and HD11 cells were used. Phagocytosis of FITC-Salmonella and FITC-dextran by these two types of cells was enhanced after stimulation with OMVs. To determine which components in OMVs were responsible for the above observed results, OMVs were treated with proteinase K(PK) or polymyxin B (PMB). Both treatments reduced the phagocytosis of FITC-Salmonella by HD11 cells and chicken spleen mononuclear cells and reduced the secretion of IL-1β, LITAF, and IL-6 cytokines. These results demonstrated that Salmonella OMVs activated chicken macrophages and spleen mononuclear cells and the activation was achieved mainly through lipopolysaccharides and membrane proteins.

Abstract
The hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 (HIF-1) has been shown to enhance microbial killing and to ameliorate the course of bacterial infections. While the impact of HIF-1 on inflammatory diseases of the gut has been studied intensively, its function in bacterial infections of the gastrointestinal tract remains largely elusive. With the help of a publicly available gene expression data set, we could infer significant activation of HIF-1 after oral infection of mice with Salmonella Typhimurium. Immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis confirmed marked HIF-1α protein stabilization, especially in the intestinal epithelium. This prompted us to analyze conditional Hif1a-deficient mice to examine cell type-specific functions of HIF-1 in this model. Our results demonstrate enhanced non-canonical induction of HIF-1 activity upon Salmonella infection in the intestinal epithelium as well as in macrophages. Surprisingly, Hif1a deletion in intestinal epithelial cells did not impact on inflammatory gene expression, bacterial spread or disease outcome. In contrast, Hif1a deletion in myeloid cells enhanced intestinal Cxcl2 expression and reduced the cecal Salmonella load. In vitro, HIF-1α-deficient macrophages showed an overall impaired transcription of mRNA encoding pro-inflammatory factors, however, intracellular survival of Salmonella was not impacted by HIF-1α deficiency.

Abstract
Upon entering host cells, Salmonella quickly turns off flagella biogenesis to avoid recognition by the host immune system. However, it is not clear which host signal(s) Salmonella senses to initiate flagellum control. Here, we demonstrate that the acid signal can suppress flagella synthesis and motility of Salmonella, and this occurs after the transcription of master flagellar gene flhDC and depends on the anti-FlhDC factor YdiV. YdiV expression is activated after acid treatment. A global screen with ydiV promoter DNA and total protein from acid-treated Salmonella revealed a novel regulator of YdiV, the acid-related transcription factor CadC. Further studies showed that CadCC, the DNA binding domain of CadC, directly binds to a 33 nt region of the ydiV promoter with a 0.2 μM KD affinity. Furthermore, CadC could separate H-NS-ydiV promoter DNA complex to form CadC-DNA complex at a low concentration. Structural simulation and mutagenesis assays revealed that H43 and W106 of CadC are essential for ydiV promoter binding. No acid-induced flagellum control phenotype was observed in cadC mutant or ydiV mutant strains, suggesting that flagellum control during acid adaption is dependent on CadC and YdiV. The intracellular survival ability of cadC mutant strain decreased significantly compared with WT strain while the flagellin expression could not be effectively controlled in the cadC mutant strain when surviving within host cells. Together, our results demonstrated that acid stress acts as an important host signal to trigger Salmonella flagellum control through the CadC-YdiV-FlhDC axis, allowing Salmonella to sense a hostile environment and regulate flagellar synthesis during infection.

Abstract
Salmonella efficiently colonizes the cecum and proximal colon of mice where it induces inflammation resulting in colitis. To study intestinal infection of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars in mice, the colonization resistance of the intestine is overcome by transiently reducing the gut microbiota by an oral antibiotic treatment 1 day prior to infection with Salmonella. The in vivo colitis model is crucial for understanding the role of mucosal host defenses, analysis of histopathological changes, and the identification of host and bacterial factors leading to acute infections or facilitating bacterial persistence.

Abstract
The cellular changes occurring due to senescence like proliferation arrest, increase in free radical levels, and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines have been well studied, but its associated alteration in intracellular signalling networks has been scarcely explored. In this study, we examine the roles of three major kinases viz. p38 MAPK, ERK, and STAT3 in regulating iNOS expression and thereby the levels of the free radical Nitric oxide in senescent cells. Our study revealed that these kinases could differentially regulate iNOS in senescent cells compared to non-senescent cells. Further, we tested the physiological relevance of these alterations with Salmonella infection assays and established an inter-regulatory network between these kinases unique to infected senescent cells. Overall, our findings show how key signalling networks may be rewired in senescent cells rendering them phenotypically different.

Abstract
Non-canonical autophagy pathways decorate single-membrane vesicles with Atg8-family proteins such as MAP1LC3/LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3). Phagosomes containing the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes (L.m.) can be targeted by a non-canonical autophagy pathway called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), which substantially contributes to the anti-listerial activity of macrophages and immunity. We here characterized a second non-canonical autophagy pathway targeting L.m.-containing phagosomes, which is induced by damage caused to the phagosomal membrane by the pore-forming toxin of L.m., listeriolysin O. This pore-forming toxin-induced non-canonical autophagy pathway (PINCA) was the only autophagic pathway evoked in tissue macrophages deficient for the NADPH oxidase CYBB/NOX2 that produces the reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are required for LAP induction. Similarly, also bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) exclusively targeted L.m. by PINCA as they completely failed to induce LAP because of insufficient production of ROS through CYBB, in part, due to low expression of some CYBB complex subunits. Priming of BMDM with proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF and IFNG/IFNγ increased ROS production by CYBB and endowed them with the ability to target L.m. by LAP. Targeting of L.m. by LAP remained relatively rare, though, preventing LAP from substantially contributing to the anti-listerial activity of BMDM. Similar to LAP, the targeting of L.m.-containing phagosomes by PINCA promoted their fusion with lysosomes. Surprisingly, however, this did not substantially contribute to anti-listerial activity of BMDM. Thus, in contrast to LAP, PINCA does not have clear anti-listerial function suggesting that the two different non-canonical autophagy pathways targeting L.m. may have discrete functions.Abbreviations: actA/ActA: actin assembly-inducing protein A; ATG: autophagy-related; BMDM: Bone marrow-derived macrophages; CALCOCO2/NDP52: calcium-binding and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 2; CYBA/p22phox: cytochrome b-245 light chain; CYBB/NOX2: cytochrome b(558) subunit beta; E. coli: Escherichia coli; IFNG/IFNγ: interferon gamma; L.m.: Listeria monocytogenes; LAP: LC3-associated phagocytosis; LGALS: galectin; LLO: listeriolysin O; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; NCF1/p47phox: neutrophil cytosol factor 1; NCF2/p67phox: neutrophil cytosol factor 2; NCF4/p67phox: neutrophil cytosol factor 4; Peritoneal macrophages: PM; PINCA: pore-forming toxin-induced non-canonical autophagy; plc/PLC: 1-phosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase; PMA: phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; RB1CC1/FIP200: RB1-inducible coiled-coil protein 1; ROS: reactive oxygen species; S. aureus: Staphylococcus aureus; S. flexneri: Shigella flexneri; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; S. typhimurium: Salmonella typhimurium; T3SS: type III secretion system; TNF: tumor necrosis factor; ULK: unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase; PM: peritoneal macrophages; WT: wild type.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have linked chronic typhoid infection with gallbladder carcinoma without completely understood mechanism. This study was performed in order to understand role of Salmonella in gallbladder cancer etiology. METHODS Known Salmonella host-pathogen interactions were screened from database in addition to known gallbladder carcinoma targets. Host-pathogen interaction map of S. enterica was prepared and screened for interactions with gallbladder carcinoma targets. Further functional overrepresentation analysis was performed to understand the role of human targets involved in Salmonella host-pathogen interactions in gallbladder carcinoma. RESULTS Salmonella interact with several human proteins involved in gallbladder carcinoma. MAPK and RAC1 are the most important human proteins based on node degree value among all GBC associated interactors identified in current data search. Functional over-representation analysis reveals that Salmonella can induce adenocarcinoma which constitutes 85% of gallbladder cancer. CONCLUSION Though, the role of MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is already suggested for Salmonella mediated gallbladder cancer, but current data based approach indicate several new insight for exploration of the role of Salmonella in gallbladder cancer etiology. The results indicate about several other processes including CREB/SP-1 and BSG(CD147) signaling, that must be given consideration for understanding the role of Salmonella in gallbladder cancer.

Abstract
The effects of senescence on geriatric disorders are well explored, but how it influences infections in the elderly is poorly addressed. Here, we show that several anti-microbial responses are elevated in senescent epithelial cells and old mice, which results in decreased bacterial survival in the host after infection. We identify higher levels of iNOS as a crucial host response and show that p38 MAPK in senescent epithelial cells acts as a negative regulator of iNOS transcription. However, in older mice, the ability to impede bacterial infection does not result in enhanced survival, possibly because elevated pro-inflammatory responses are not countered by a robust host protective anti-inflammatory response. Overall, while addressing an alternate advantage of senescent cells, our study demonstrates that infection-associated morbidity in the elderly may not be the sole outcome of pathogen loads but may also be influenced by the host's ability to resolve inflammation-induced damage.

Abstract
The global rise of antibiotic-resistant strains of Salmonella has necessitated the development of alternative therapeutic strategies. Recent studies have shown that targeting host factors may provide an alternative approach for the treatment of intracellular pathogens. Host-directed therapy (HDT) modulates host cellular factors that are essential to support the replication of the intracellular pathogens. In the current study, we identified Gefitinib as a potential host directed therapeutic drug against Salmonella. Further, using the proteome analysis of Salmonella-infected macrophages, we identified EGFR, a host factor, promoting intracellular survival of Salmonella via mTOR-HIF-1α axis. Blocking of EGFR, mTOR or HIF-1α inhibits the intracellular survival of Salmonella within the macrophages and in mice. Global proteo-metabolomics profiling indicated the upregulation of host factors predominantly associated with ATP turn over, glycolysis, urea cycle, which ultimately promote the activation of EGFR-HIF1α signaling upon infection. Importantly, inhibition of EGFR and HIF1α restored both proteomics and metabolomics changes caused by Salmonella infection. Taken together, this study identifies Gefitinib as a host directed drug that holds potential translational values against Salmonella infection and might be useful for the treatment of other intracellular infections.

Impact of the Resistance Responses to Stress Conditions Encountered in Food and Food Processing Environments on the Virulence and Growth Fitness of Non-Typhoidal Salmonellae. Foods 2021; 10:foods10030617.

Abstract
The success of Salmonella as a foodborne pathogen can probably be attributed to two major features: its remarkable genetic diversity and its extraordinary ability to adapt. Salmonella cells can survive in harsh environments, successfully compete for nutrients, and cause disease once inside the host. Furthermore, they are capable of rapidly reprogramming their metabolism, evolving in a short time from a stress-resistance mode to a growth or virulent mode, or even to express stress resistance and virulence factors at the same time if needed, thanks to a complex and fine-tuned regulatory network. It is nevertheless generally acknowledged that the development of stress resistance usually has a fitness cost for bacterial cells and that induction of stress resistance responses to certain agents can trigger changes in Salmonella virulence. In this review, we summarize and discuss current knowledge concerning the effects that the development of resistance responses to stress conditions encountered in food and food processing environments (including acid, osmotic and oxidative stress, starvation, modified atmospheres, detergents and disinfectants, chilling, heat, and non-thermal technologies) exerts on different aspects of the physiology of non-typhoidal Salmonellae, with special emphasis on virulence and growth fitness.

Abstract
Macrophages are the first encounters of invading bacteria and are responsible for engulfing and digesting pathogens through phagocytosis leading to initiation of the innate inflammatory response. Intracellular digestion occurs through a close relationship between phagocytic/endocytic and lysosomal pathways, in which proteolytic enzymes, such as cathepsins, are involved. The presence of cathepsins in the endo-lysosomal compartment permits direct interaction with and killing of bacteria, and may contribute to processing of bacterial antigens for presentation, an event necessary for the induction of antibacterial adaptive immune response. Therefore, it is not surprising that bacteria can control the expression and proteolytic activity of cathepsins, including their inhibitors – cystatins, to favor their own intracellular survival in macrophages. In this review, we summarize recent developments in defining the role of cathepsins in bacteria-macrophage interaction and describe important strategies engaged by bacteria to manipulate cathepsin expression and activity in macrophages. Particularly, we focus on specific bacterial species due to their clinical relevance to humans and animal health, i.e., Mycobacterium, Mycoplasma, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Salmonella, Shigella, Francisella, Chlamydia, Listeria, Brucella, Helicobacter, Neisseria, and other genera.

Abstract
Severe anaemia and invasive bacterial infections are common causes of childhood sickness and death in sub-Saharan Africa. Accumulating evidence suggests that severely anaemic African children may have a higher risk of invasive bacterial infections. However, the mechanisms underlying this association remain poorly described. Severe anaemia is characterized by increased haemolysis, erythropoietic drive, gut permeability, and disruption of immune regulatory systems. These pathways are associated with dysregulation of iron homeostasis, including the downregulation of the hepatic hormone hepcidin. Increased haemolysis and low hepcidin levels potentially increase plasma, tissue and intracellular iron levels. Pathogenic bacteria require iron and/or haem to proliferate and have evolved numerous strategies to acquire labile and protein-bound iron/haem. In this review, we discuss how severe anaemia may mediate the risk of invasive bacterial infections through dysregulation of hepcidin and/or iron homeostasis, and potential studies that could be conducted to test this hypothesis.

Abstract
Abstract
In this review, we propose that certain modifications in cellular metabolism might function as danger signals triggering inflammasome-mediated immune responses. We propose to call them danger-associated metabolic modifications (DAMMs). As intracellular bacteria can actively modulate macrophage metabolism for their benefit, infected host cells might sense bacteria-induced metabolic alterations and activate immune reactions. Here we report the known metabolic interactions that occur during infection of macrophages by intracellular bacteria and discuss the possible emergence of DAMMs upon bacteria-induced alterations of cellular metabolism.
