A nutritional immunity blockade controls extracellular bacterial replication in Legionella pneumophila infections.

A. Torres-Escobar, A. Wilkins, M. D. Juarez-Rodriguez, M. Circu, B. Latimer, A.-M. Dragoi, S. S. Ivanov

This study shows that Legionella pneumophila can replicate extracellularly when host nutritional immunity is blocked, particularly through iron overload or absence of Transferrin.

Characterization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonization of macrophages under distinct polarization states and nutrients environment

M. D. Juarez Rodriguez, M. Marquette, R. Youngblood, N. Dhungel, A. Torres Escobar, S. S. Ivanov, A.-M. Dragoi

This study investigates how Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonizes macrophages under different polarization states and nutrient conditions, finding that invasion occurs across all activation states with lower efficiency in M1-like macrophages.

The intracellular growth of the vacuolar pathogen Legionella pneumophila is dependent on the acyl chain composition of host membranes

A. Wilkins, B. Schwarz, A. Torres-Escobar, R. Castore, L. Landry, B. Latimer, E. Bohrnsen, C. M. Bosio, A.-M. Dragoi, S. S. Ivanov

This study shows that Legionella pneumophila replication depends on host membrane acyl chain composition, with palmitoleic acid promoting membrane disorder and enhancing bacterial growth.

Dual role of CASP8AP2/FLASH in regulating epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) plasticity

M. Catalanotto, J. M. Vaz, C. Abshire, R. Youngblood, M. Chu, H. Levine, M. K. Jolly, A.-M. Dragoi

This study identifies FLASH as a regulator of EMT plasticity, showing it influences hybrid E/M states through its effects on EMT-TFs and cell junction proteins.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae subverts formin-dependent actin polymerization to colonize human macrophages

S. S. Ivanov, R. Castore, M. L. Circu, A.-M. Dragoi

This study shows Neisseria gonorrhoeae invades macrophages via actin-dependent membrane invaginations, distinct from phagocytosis, and identifies FMNL3 as a key host factor in this process.
