摘要: The pathogenesis of Shigella flexneri infection centers on the ability this organism to invade epithelial cells and initiate an intense inflammatory reaction. Because NF-kappa B is important transcriptional regulator genes involved in inflammation, we investigated role transcription factor during S. cells. Infection HeLa with invasive induced DNA-binding activity; noninvasive strains did not lead activation. pathway leading activation by kinases, B-inducing kinase, I kappa kinase-1, kinase-2. was linked because activated IL-8 promoter-driven reporter gene, site within promoter indispensable for its induction. Microinjection bacterial culture supernatants into suggested that LPS responsible infection. In conclusion, eukaryotic cells, which suggests a modulating immune response vivo.
