Description
Summary:Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and fimbrial tip adhesins, play important roles in UPEC colonization. Few fimbrial tip adhesins and their receptors on host cells, which have the potential to be the therapeutic targets, have been identified. the UPEC wild-type strain CFT073, ΔyadC and the complemented strain were used to perform assays in vitro and in vivo. The effects of D-xylose targeting YadC on UPEC colonization were evaluated. A YadC receptor was identified by far-western blotting, LC-MS/MS and co-immunoprecipitation. The effects of compounds targeting the receptor on UPEC colonization were tested. YadC was investigated for its mediation of UPEC adhesion and invasion to bladder epithelial cells in vitro; and its promotion of UPEC colonization in bladder in vivo. D-xylose, targeting YadC, showed prophylactic and therapeutic effects on UPEC colonization. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) was identified as a YadC receptor, involved in UPEC infection. ANXA2 inhibitors attenuated UPEC infections. The yadC gene was widely present in UPEC clinical isolates and phylogenetic analysis of yadC was performed. YadC and its receptor ANXA2 play important roles in UPEC colonization in bladder, leading to novel treatment strategies targeting YadC or ANXA2 for acute UTIs.
