Burkholderia pseudomallei-loaded cells act as a Trojan horse to invade the brain during endotoxemia
Abstract Neurologic melioidosis occurs in both human and animals; however, the mechanism by which the pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei invades the central nervous system (CNS) remains unclear. B. pseudomallei-loaded Ly6C cells have been suggested as a putative portal; however, during melioidosis,...

Abstract Neurologic melioidosis occurs in both human and animals; however, the mechanism by which the pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei invades the central nervous system (CNS) remains unclear. B. pseudomallei-loaded Ly6C cells have been suggested as a putative portal; however, during melioidosis, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can drive disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study aims to test whether the Trojan horse-like mechanism occurs during endotoxemia. The expression levels of cerebral cytokines, chemokines and cell adhesion molecules; the activation of astrocytes, microglia and endothelial cells; and the increased vascular permeability and brain-infiltrating leukocytes were evaluated using B. pseudomallei, B. thailandensis, B. cenocepacia and B. multivorans LPS-induced brains. Accordingly, different degrees of BBB damage in those brains with endotoxemia were established. The B. multivorans LPS-induced brain exhibited the highest levels of disruptive BBB according to the above mediators/indicators.
