“…To assess B. abortus intracellular replication at several time points (2, 6, 24 and 48 h pi), infected HeLa cells were washed once in PBS then lysed with 0.1% Triton‐X‐100 (Sigma‐Aldrich) in PBS for 10 min at room temperature. Serial supernatant dilutions were then plated onto TSB agar plates, incubated at 37°C for 5 days and colony‐forming units (CFUs) were counted for each condition from three technical replicates (Roba et al , 2022).…”

The facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella abortus interacts with several organelles of the host cell to reach its replicative niche inside the endoplasmic reticulum. However, little is known about the interplay between the intracellular bacteria and the host cell mitochondria. Here, we showed that B. abortus triggers substantive mitochondrial network fragmentation, accompanied by mitophagy and the formation of mitochondrial Brucellacontaining vacuoles during the late steps of cellular infection. Brucella-induced expression of the mitophagy receptor BNIP3L is essential for these events and relies on the iron-dependent stabilisation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1α. Functionally, BNIP3Lmediated mitophagy appears to be advantageous for bacterial exit from the host cell as BNIP3L depletion drastically reduces the number of reinfection events. Altogether, these findings highlight the intricate link between Brucella trafficking and the mitochondria during host cell infection.

The facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella abortus interacts with several organelles of the host cell to reach its replicative niche inside the endoplasmic reticulum. However, little is known about the interplay between the bacteria and the host cell mitochondria. Here, we showed that B. abortus triggers a strong mitochondrial network fragmentation accompanied by mitophagy and the formation of mitochondrial Brucella-containing vacuoles in the late steps of cellular infection. The expression of the mitophagy receptor BNIP3L induced by B. abortus is essential for these events and relies on the iron-dependent stabilization of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha. Functionally, BNIP3L-mediated mitophagy appears to be advantageous for bacterial exit of the host cell as BNIP3L depletion drastically reduced the number of reinfection events.
