Chlamydia trachomatis infection upregulates MicroRNA21 to deplete tumor suppressor PTEN

Karthika Rajeeve, Suvagata Roy Chowdhury, Marco Albrecht…·Thomas Rudel

This study shows that Chlamydia trachomatis infection increases miR21, which reduces PTEN and activates PI3K signaling, promoting bacterial growth and tumor-like metabolism.

Infection of human organoids supports an intestinal niche for Chlamydia trachomatis

Pargev Hovhannisyan, Kathrin Stelzner, Markus Keicher…·Thomas Rudel

This study infects human intestinal organoids with Chlamydia trachomatis, showing resistance to apical infection and basolateral entry, and identifies Pgp3 as a key virulence factor.
