An excellent review on type III protein secretion systems, which are conserved among various pathogens. The structure and function of the secretion machinery and type III secreted effector proteins are discussed in great detail. The review covers genetic organization, regulation of transcription and secretion by environmental factors, as well as molecular mechanisms and cellular effects of the effector molecules. Direct comparison between different pathogens and an exhaustive reference section are especially informative.

On the basis of the prototypic example of Shigella-induced macrophage apoptosis, the concept of pro-inflammatory macrophage apoptosis is outlined in this review. In-vivo evidence in support of the notion that IL-1 release by apoptotic macrophages triggers the acute inflammation in shigellosis is summarized. Furthermore, the significance of apoptosis in other bacterial infections is discussed.

EMBO J 1998; 17:2894-2903. The transcription of Shigella virA and ipaH was found to be upregulated during entry into epithelial cells (and other conditions stimulating type III secretion), which represents a novel environmental signal for Shigella gene expression. The results also imply a temporal regulation of type III secreted virulence factors during the interaction of Shigella with epithelial cells. Proteins required for the initial steps of cell entry are stored in the bacterium and secreted upon cell contact. VirA and IpaH, on the other hand, might be required only for the later steps of cell invasion or tissue infection.

The authors report on the first successful attempt to culture M cell-like cells in vitro. The co-culture of human intestinal epithelial cells with Peyer's patch lymphocytes converts the enterocytes into cells with M cell-like properties, including the capacity to transcytose non-invasive Vibrio cholerae and inert particles. This model system should provide a basis to analyze the molecular details of M cell transcytosis, the interactions of M cells with invasive pathogens, as well as the developmental aspects of M cell differentiation.

This work demonstrates that, although not absolutely required for bacterial entry, Shigella IpaA increases the efficiency of internalization by epithelial cells expressing vinculin. IpaA binds and recruits vinculin, a host cell protein involved in anchoring actin filaments to the cell membrane. Vinculin-deficient cells are significantly impaired for the uptake of Shigella.

Yersinia enterocolitica impairs activation of transcription factor NF-κB: involvement in the induction of programmed cell death and in the suppression of the macrophage tumor necrosis factor α production. J Exp Med 1998; 187:1069-1079. In this study, the activity of the inducible transcription factor NF-κB in macrophages infected with Yersinia is analyzed. The capacity of wild-type Yersinia and mutant strains to inhibit NF-κB activation is inversely correlated to TNF-α expression and parallels the ability to induce apoptosis. The inhibition of NF-κB by Yersinia thus links anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic events. Blocking NF-κB activation with Yersinia or a proteasome inhibitor sensitizes macrophages to lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis and epithelial cells to TNF-α-induced apoptosis.

This paper strongly supports the notion that apoptosis of cells expressing IL-1 can be a pro-inflammatory event. The study demonstrates that a Fas ligand expressing tumor cell line injected intraperitoneally induces PMN infiltration in wild-type but not in IL-1 knockout mice. Upon treatment with Fas ligand, PMNs from peritoneal exudates undergo apoptosis and secrete mature IL-1β. Interestingly, Fas ligand triggers the maturation and secretion of IL-1β in peritoneal exudate cells both from wild-type and caspase-1 knockout mice. This maturation of IL-1β is abrogated by caspase inhibitors and, therefore, other caspase(s) than caspase-1 can also cleave pro-IL-1β.
