  • Abstract:

    A paradigm shift is needed to improve and personalize the diagnosis of infectious disease and to select appropriate therapies. For many years, only the most severe and complicated bacterial infections received more detailed diagnostic and therapeutic attention as the efficiency of antibiotic therapy has guaranteed efficient treatment of patients suffering from the most common infections. Indeed, treatability almost became a rationale not to analyze bacterial and host parameters in these larger patient groups. Due to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance, common infections like respiratory tract- or urinary-tract infections (UTIs) now pose new and significant therapeutic challenges. It is fortunate and timely that infectious disease research can offer such a wealth of new molecular information that is ready to use for the identification of susceptible patients and design of new suitable therapies. Paradoxically, the threat of antibiotic resistance may become a window of opportunity, by encouraging the implementation of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The frequency of antibiotic resistance is rising rapidly in uropathogenic organisms and the molecular and genetic understanding of UTI susceptibility is quite advanced. More bold translation of the new molecular diagnostic and therapeutic tools would not just be possible but of great potential benefit in this patient group. This chapter reviews the molecular basis for susceptibility to UTI, including recent advances in genetics, and discusses the consequences for diagnosis and therapy. By dissecting the increasingly well-defined molecular interactions between bacteria and host and the molecular features of excessive bacterial virulence or host-response malfunction, it is becoming possible to isolate the defensive from the damaging aspects of the host response. Distinguishing “good” from “bad” inflammation has been a long-term quest of biomedical science and in UTI, patients need the “good” aspects of the inflammatory response to resist infection while avoiding the “bad” aspects, causing chronicity and tissue damage.

Abstract:

A paradigm shift is needed to improve and personalize the diagnosis of infectious disease and to select appropriate therapies. For many years, only the most severe and complicated bacterial infections received more detailed diagnostic and therapeutic attention as the efficiency of antibiotic therapy has guaranteed efficient treatment of patients suffering from the most common infections. Indeed, treatability almost became a rationale not to analyze bacterial and host parameters in these larger patient groups. Due to the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance, common infections like respiratory tract- or urinary-tract infections (UTIs) now pose new and significant therapeutic challenges. It is fortunate and timely that infectious disease research can offer such a wealth of new molecular information that is ready to use for the identification of susceptible patients and design of new suitable therapies. Paradoxically, the threat of antibiotic resistance may become a window of opportunity, by encouraging the implementation of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The frequency of antibiotic resistance is rising rapidly in uropathogenic organisms and the molecular and genetic understanding of UTI susceptibility is quite advanced. More bold translation of the new molecular diagnostic and therapeutic tools would not just be possible but of great potential benefit in this patient group. This chapter reviews the molecular basis for susceptibility to UTI, including recent advances in genetics, and discusses the consequences for diagnosis and therapy. By dissecting the increasingly well-defined molecular interactions between bacteria and host and the molecular features of excessive bacterial virulence or host-response malfunction, it is becoming possible to isolate the defensive from the damaging aspects of the host response. Distinguishing “good” from “bad” inflammation has been a long-term quest of biomedical science and in UTI, patients need the “good” aspects of the inflammatory response to resist infection while avoiding the “bad” aspects, causing chronicity and tissue damage.

FIGURE 1
Uroepithelial receptors for bacterial ligands. Uroepithelial cells express a number of specific receptors for microbial ligands including TLRs and receptors for adhesins, toxins, and flagella, among others. Importantly, uroepithelial cells do not express CD14 and the initial recognition of Gram-negative bacteria does not involve LPS, unless soluble CD14 is present. TLR5 interacts with bacterial flagellin; TLR11 recognizes uropathogens through yet undetermined bacterial ligands and TLR2 is activated by bacterial cell wall components. Type 1 fimbriae activate TLR4 signaling through the FimH adhesin, which binds to a variety of mannosylated glycoproteins. Binding to uroplakin particles (UP1a, 1b, 2, and 3a) promotes bacterial internalization. FimH also binds to β1 and α3 integrins, which modulate F-actin dynamics in the mammalian cell. TNFα responses to type 1-fimbriated bacteria are triggered by the glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol-anchored CD48 receptor on mast cells and macrophages. The receptor epitopes of UPs, CD48, and integrins, are N-linked high-mannose oligosaccharides. Abbreviations: lipopolysaccharide (LPS), soluble CD14 (sCD14), glycosphingolipids (GSLs), Toll-like receptor (TLR), mannosylated cell-surface glycoprotein (MGP), uroplakin (UP), not applicable (NA), acute pyelonephritis (APN), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI).

Transcriptional control of the innate immune response to UPEC. Signaling downstream of TLR4 activates the transcription of innate immune-effector molecules, such as chemokines, cytokines, and antibacterial peptides ( 3 , 87 ). Transcription factors are activated by phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, including IRF3 and IRF7, as well as AP-1, a heterodimer of FOS and JUN. In addition, NF-κB is critically involved, (not shown). In clinical studies, promoter polymorphisms that reduce the expression of IRF3 have been associated with susceptibility to acute pyelonephritis. In the murine UTI model, mice lacking develop severe acute infection with mortality, followed by renal damage in surviving mice. Downstream mediators have also been shown to play an essential role for UTI susceptibility, including type 1 IFNs. Relevance of IFNβ has been demonstrated in the murine UTI model, where mutant mice develop severe acute infection with tissue damage. Clinical studies associating IFNβ with UTI susceptibility have not been reported. Abbreviations: phosphate group (P), cyclic AMP-response element-binding (CREB), interferon-regulatory factor (IRF), activator-protein 1 (AP-1), interferon (IFN), interleukin (IL), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), acute pyelonephritis (APN), CC-chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5), not applicable (NA).

FIGURE 3
Neutrophil-dependent clearance of infection. Chronic infection and renal scarring in -deficient patients and -deficient mice. In UTI, neutrophils migrate to the mucosal epithelial barrier, which they cross into the lumen. As a result, infection causes pyuria, which often is used diagnostically, as the neutrophils first phagocytose and kill bacteria and then leave the tissue via this mechanism; tissue damage is prevented. Migration is directed by chemokines, first released by infected epithelial cells and subsequently amplified by neutrophils and other cells, such as mast cells, at the site of infection. In patients prone to APN, CXCR1 expression is reduced compared to age-matched controls and intronic and 3′UTR polymorphisms are more abundant than in controls without UTI. polymorphisms have also been associated with APN susceptibility. In mice lacking the chemokine receptor, neutrophil exit is prevented, however, and a backlog of neutrophils builds up in the tissues. The massive neutrophil infiltrate does not remove the bacteria, as neutrophils from mice lacking 2 have an activation deficiency. Persisting bacteria continue to stimulate chemokine production and neutrophils continue to be recruited, resulting in chronic infection and renal scarring ( 35 ). Abbreviations: CXC-chemokine receptor (CXCR), interleukin (IL), single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), not applicable (NA), acute pyelonephritis (APN), untranslated region (UTR).
