text: A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability
of the pathogen to evade the host’s immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express
type 1 pili, a pre-adapted virulence trait, to invade host epithelial cells and
establish persistent infections. However, the molecular mechanisms and strategies
by which bacteria actively circumvent the immune response of the host remain poorly
understood. Here, we identified CD14, the major co-receptor for lipopolysaccharide
detection, on dendritic cells as a previously undescribed binding partner of FimH,
the protein located at the tip of the type 1 pilus of Escherichia coli. The FimH
amino acids involved in CD14 binding are highly conserved across pathogenic and
non-pathogenic strains. Binding of pathogenic bacteria to CD14 lead to reduced
dendritic cell migration and blunted expression of co-stimulatory molecules, both
rate-limiting factors of T cell activation. While defining an active molecular
mechanism of immune evasion by pathogens, the interaction between FimH and CD14
represents a potential target to interfere with persistent and recurrent infections,
such as urinary tract infections or Crohn’s disease.
