Abstract
Biofilm formation shields Staphylococcus epidermidis from host defense mechanisms, contributing to chronic implant infections. Using wild-type S. epidermidis 1457, a PIA-negative mutant (1457-M10), and an eDNA-negative mutant (1457ΔatlE), this study examined the influence of biofilm matrix components on human monocyte-derived macrophage (hMDM) interactions. The wild-type strain was resistant to phagocytosis and induced an anti-inflammatory response in hMDMs, while both mutants were more susceptible to phagocytosis and triggered a pro-inflammatory response. Removing eDNA from the 1457 biofilm matrix increased hMDM uptake and a pro-inflammatory reaction, whereas adding eDNA to the 1457ΔatlE mutant reduced phagocytosis and promoted an anti-inflammatory response. Inhibiting TLR9 enhanced bacterial uptake and induced a pro-inflammatory response in hMDMs exposed to wild-type S. epidermidis. This study highlights the critical role of eDNA in immune evasion and the central role of TLR9 in modulating macrophage responses, advancing the understanding of implant infections.
期刊介绍:
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes is a comprehensive platform that promotes research on biofilms and microbiomes across various scientific disciplines. The journal facilitates cross-disciplinary discussions to enhance our understanding of the biology, ecology, and communal functions of biofilms, populations, and communities. It also focuses on applications in the medical, environmental, and engineering domains. The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of the field, ranging from cell-cell communication and single cell interactions to the microbiomes of humans, animals, plants, and natural and built environments. The journal also welcomes research on the virome, phageome, mycome, and fungome. It publishes both applied science and theoretical work. As an open access and interdisciplinary journal, its primary goal is to publish significant scientific advancements in microbial biofilms and microbiomes. The journal enables discussions that span multiple disciplines and contributes to our understanding of the social behavior of microbial biofilm populations and communities, and their impact on life, human health, and the environment.
