UNASSIGNED: HL-60-derived neutrophil-like cells (dHL-60), differentiated with 1.25% dimethyl sulfoxide over 9 days, were used in an opsonophagocytosis assay and in vitro infection model to measure Hia\'s susceptibility to killing and dHL-60 surface molecule expression, respectively. The impact of strain-specific features on the immune response was investigated using clinical isolates of a dominant North American sequence type (ST)-23, including Hia 11-139 (encapsulated, invasive), 14-61 (encapsulated, non-invasive), 13-0074 (unencapsulated, invasive), as well as a representative ST-4 isolate (Hia 13-240, encapsulated, invasive), and a nontypeable strain (NTHi 375, unencapsulated, non-invasive).
UNASSIGNED: Unencapsulated and non-invasive Hi strains were more susceptible to killing by the innate immune response while the ST-23 invasive strain, Hia 11-139 required serum antibodies for destruction. Flow cytometry analysis showed increased expression of co-stimulatory molecule ICAM-1 and Fc receptors (CD89, CD64) but decreased expression of the Fc receptor CD16, revealing potential mechanisms of neutrophil-mediated defense against Hia that extend to both non-invasive and invasive strains.
UNASSIGNED: Hia clinical isolates with diverse pathogenicity illustrated contrasting susceptibility to killing by immune mechanisms while maintaining the same capacity to activate neutrophil-like cells, further underscoring the need for additional studies on Hia\'s pathogenesis.
■HL-60来源的中性粒细胞样细胞(dHL-60),用1.25%二甲基亚砜在9天内分化,在调理吞噬试验和体外感染模型中使用Hia对杀伤和dHL-60表面分子表达的敏感性,分别。使用北美优势序列型(ST)-23的临床分离株,包括Hia11-139(封装,侵入性),14-61(封装,非侵入性),13-0074(未封装,侵入性),以及代表性的ST-4分离株(Hia13-240,封装,侵入性),和一种不可分型的菌株(NTHi375,未封装,非侵入性)。
■未封装和非侵入性Hi菌株更容易被先天免疫反应杀死,而ST-23侵入性菌株,Hia11-139需要血清抗体进行破坏。流式细胞术分析显示共刺激分子ICAM-1和Fc受体(CD89,CD64)的表达增加,但Fc受体CD16的表达降低,揭示了嗜中性粒细胞介导的针对Hia的防御的潜在机制,扩展到非侵入性和侵入性菌株。
■具有不同致病性的Hia临床分离株表明,在保持相同的激活中性粒细胞样细胞能力的同时,对免疫机制杀伤的敏感性形成对比。进一步强调需要进一步研究Hia的发病机制。
