Cell:酿脓链球菌转为致命菌机制解答

酿脓链球菌(Streptococcus pyoGENEs),又称作A群链球菌(GAS),作为一种重要的细菌性病原体当它寄居于人体时可以不引起任何症状或只导致轻微的感染,也可以引发危及生命的疾病,例如坏死性筋膜炎(俗称食肉病)和链球菌中毒性休克综合征,它是如何做到这一点的?

该领域许多的研究人员都对这一谜题抱着极大的兴趣。现在来自耶路撒冷希伯莱大学医学院的研究人员,发现了这种细菌转为致命菌的机制。这为未来开发出一些可能的治疗来遏制这种以及其他潜在的致命菌开启了大门。

每年,GAS感染导致全球50万人死亡,给这些感染者带来了严重的后果。尤其是食肉病是一种极为严重的细菌感染,其常常迅速地侵犯全身软组织,医生几乎没有时间去阻止或延缓它的进展。当前主要的治疗方法包括给予抗生素及手术切除感染组织。然而即便给予及时治疗,这一细菌仍会在约25%的患者中传播并导致他们死亡。

在探索GAS进展机制的过程中,希伯来大学医学院的Emanuel Hanski教授与博士生Moshe Baruch以及一个国际研究小组一起,发现了在感染早期影响GAS毒力的一个新机制。

他们发现当GAS附着并感染宿主细胞时,它将两种链球菌溶血素送入到了这些细胞中。这些毒素损害了人体的蛋白质合成质量控制机制。这转而触发了一种防御性应激反应,提高了氨基酸天冬酰胺的生成。GAS感知到天冬酰胺水平增高,会改变它的基因表达谱——和它的增殖速率,这样的繁殖速度可以让宿主丧命。

研究小组还发现在人类血液和人类细菌感染的小鼠模型中天冬酰胺消化蛋白——天冬酰胺酶可以阻止GAS生长。一直以来作为一种广泛应用的化疗药物,天冬酰胺酶主要用于治疗白血病。而此前从未有人用它来治疗GAS感染。

这些研究结果促成了人们在观念上的一个重大的突破:了解在感染过程中病原体和宿主之间的代谢变化可以推动开发出更有效的、对抗感染疾病的新型治疗方法。

现在希伯来大学的技术转让部门——Yissum研究开发公司正在为这一研究发现申请专利,并寻求商业合作伙伴帮助开发出对抗侵袭性链球菌感染的有效疗法。
