Hyperinvasive Meningococci Induce Intra-nuclear Cleavage of the NF-κB Protein p65/RelA by Meningococcal IgA Protease

English version České info

Strains of Neisseria meningitidis isolated from patients induce apoptotic cell death, whereas strains isolated from healthy carriage isolates do not. Part of the difference has been shown to arise from differential modulation of NF-κB during meningococcal infection. While non-invasive isolates of Neisseria meningitidis provoke a sustained NF-κB activation in epithelial cells, hyperinvasive isolates only induce an early NF-κB activation followed by a sustained activation of JNK and apoptosis. Here, we elucidate the mechanism conferring this differential modulation, specifically showing that ST-11 hyperinvasive isolates promote specific cleavage of NF-κB p65/RelA component in a manner dependent on the secreted IgA protease. This cleavage occurs within the nuclear compartment. Secreted IgA protease from non-invasive isolates was unable to reach the nuclear compartment of infected cells, resulting in a sustained activation of NF-κB activity and subsequent cytoprotective effect. Modulation of NF-κB-related signaling is likely a double-edged sword to decide the fate of meningococcal infection.
