Flagella, Type I Fimbriae and Curli of Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Promote the Release of Proinflammatory Cytokines in a Coculture System

Background. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a public health problem in Mexico, and uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (UPEC) is one of the main etiological agents. Flagella, type I fimbriae, and curli promote the ability of these bacteria to successfully colonize its host. Aim. Th...

This study aimed to determine whether flagella-, type I fimbriae-, and curli-expressing UPEC induces the release of proinflammatory cytokines in an established coculture system. Methods. The <i>fliC</i>, <i>fimH</i>, and <i>csgA</i> genes by UPEC strain were disrupted by allelic replacement.

HTB-5 (upper chamber) and HMC-1 (lower chamber) cells cocultured in Transwell<sup>®</sup> plates were infected with these UPEC strains and purified proteins. There was adherence to HTB-5 cells treated with different UPEC strains and they were quantified as colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. Results. High concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 were induced by the FimH and FliC proteins; however, these cytokines were detected in low concentrations in presence of CsgA.
