Cytotoxic factor secreted by Escherichia coli associated with sepsis facilitates transcytosis through human umbilical vein endothelial cell monolayers

Abstract: Culture supernatant of sepsis-associated Escherichia coli (SEPEC) isolated from patients with sepsis caused loss of intercellular junctions and elongation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The cytotoxic factor was purified from culture supernatant of SEPEC 15 (serogroup O153) by liquid chromatography process. PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) showed that the purified SEPEC cytotoxic factor had a molecular mass of ∼150kDa and consisted of at least two subunits. At the concentration of 1… Show more

“…Vascular injury is one of the basic pathological changes in patients with sepsis, including destruction of vascular endothelial structure, abnormal vasoconstriction, and dysfunction of vascular endothelial cells, and it plays important roles in tissue and organ injuries induced by mild and severe sepsis [ 14 ]. Studies show that substances released to the blood by pathogens such as endotoxins can directly kill vascular endothelial cells, cause destruction of the vascular endothelial barrier, and lead to disorder of secretory function of endothelial cells, aggravating inflammation, and causing ischemic injury in tissues and organs [ 15 , 16 ].…”
