Metabolic Changing in V. vulnificus-Infected Tissue
一般注記Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium that inhabits warm seawater or brackish water environments and causes foodborne diseases and wound infections. In severe cases, V. vulnificus invades the skeletal muscle tissue, where bacterial proliferation leads to septicemia and necrotizing fasciitis with high mortality. Despite this characteristic, information on metabolic changes in tissue infected with V. vulnificus is not available. Here, we elucidated the metabolic changes in V. vulnificus-infected mouse skeletal muscle using capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry (CE-TOFMS). Metabolome analysis revealed changes in muscle catabolites and energy metabolites during V. vulnificus infection. In particular, succinic acid accumulated but fumaric acid decreased in the infected muscle. However, the virulence factor deletion mutant revealed that changes in metabolites and bacterial proliferation were abolished in skeletal muscle infected with a multifunctional-autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin (MARTX) mutant. On the other hand, mice that were immunosuppressed via cyclophosphamide (CPA) treatment exhibited a similar level of bacterial counts and metabolites between the wild type and MARTX mutant. Therefore, our data indicate that V. vulnificus induces metabolic changes in mouse skeletal muscle and proliferates by using the MARTX toxin to evade the host immune system. This study indicates a new correlation between V. vulnificus infections and metabolic changes that lead to severe reactions or damage to host skeletal muscle.
