RESUMO

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains frequently produce a Rho-activating protein toxin named cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 1 (CNF1). We herein report that CNF1 promotes transcription and release of tumor necrosis factor alpha, gamma interferon, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8 proinflammatory cytokines and increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in uroepithelial T24 cells. The antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine counteracts these phenomena, a fact which suggests a role for ROS-mediated signaling in CNF1-induced proinflammatory cytokine production.
