Description
Summary:Siglecs are sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins that play an important role in tissue homeostasis, immune response, and pathogen infection. Bacterial sialidases act on natural ligands of Siglecs, interfering with the Siglec-mediated immune response. is a porcine bacterial pathogen that secretes sialidase. However, little is known about the sialidase of and its impact on immune regulation. Here, we used wild-type , a sialidase-deficient mutant, and complementary strains to investigate the role of sialidase in porcine alveolar macrophage infection. Sialidase induced the release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1α (IL-1α), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha, from porcine alveolar macrophages. Moreover, sialidase desialylated the surface of porcine alveolar macrophages and altered the expression of Siglecs (the expression of Siglec-5 was reduced). Furthermore, sialidase led to a reduction in endogenous SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP-2) recruitment to Siglec-5 and simultaneously activated the inflammatory response via the mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cell signaling pathways. This desialylation occurred before the release of proinflammatory cytokines, suggesting that the sialidase-induced inflammatory response was followed by reduced recruitment of SHP-2 to Siglec-5. Thus, this study is the first to demonstrate the role of sialidase in the inflammatory response of This role resulted from the abrogation of negative regulation of Siglec-5 on proinflammatory cytokine release. This study helps to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the inflammatory response induced by sialidase secreted by and the acute inflammation caused by .
