Hypothesis : a horizontal intercellular communication between intestinal epithelial cells might help to amplify the innate immune response? Immunity 33, 804–816, November 24, 2010 Aim: to investigate whether the intercellular comunication between infected and non-infected cells contributes to innate response against Listeria monocytogenes infection . Ana Carolina Pagliarone The activation of intestinal epithelial cells depends on the L. monocytogenes intracellular localization? actA mutant Listeria actA mutant Listeria (no cell-to-cell spread) m-ICcI2 cells + siRNA 4h ELISA (LLO-deficient) hly mutant or WT Listeria expressing GFP m-ICcI2 cells The activation of intestinal epithelial cells is dependent on bacterial presence in flow cytometry cytosol (endosomal lysis) Non-infected epithelial cells are activated during infection challenge?
