Francisella novicida Mutant XWK4 Triggers Robust Inflammasome Activation Favoring Infection

Bacterial infection tendentiously triggers inflammasome activation, whereas the roles of inflammasome activation in host defense against diverse infections remain unclear. Here, we identified that an ASC-dependent inflammasome activation played opposite roles in host defense against Francisella novi...

Here, we identified that an ASC-dependent inflammasome activation played opposite roles in host defense against Francisella novicida wild-type (WT) U112 and mutant strain XWK4. Comparing with U112, XWK4 infection induced robust cytokine production, ASC-dependent inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis.

Type II interferon was partially required for XWK4-triggered inflammasome activation, which was different from type I interferon dependency in U112-induced inflammasome activation. Distinct from F. novicida U112 and Acinetobacter baumannii infection, Asc–/– mice were more resistant than WT mice response to XWK4 infection by limiting bacterial burden in vivo.

Francisella novicida Mutant XWK4 Triggers Robust Inflammasome Activation Favoring Infection
