The Type III Secretion Effector CteG Mediates Host Cell Lytic Exit of Chlamydia trachomatis

Ines Serrano Pereira et al.

Summary: A study revealed that the CteG effector protein of Chlamydia trachomatis is involved in the lytic exit of host cells. Cells infected with wild-type C. trachomatis released more infectious chlamydiae in the culture supernatant compared to cells infected with a CteG-deficient strain. CteG also played a role in host cell cytotoxicity. Furthermore, CteG and Pgp4 were found to participate in a cascade of events leading to host cell lysis and release of infectious chlamydiae.

A Chlamydial Plasmid-Dependent Secretion System for the Delivery of Virulence Factors to the Host Cytosol

Lei Lei et al.

Summary: "A novel plasmid-dependent secretion system has been identified that transports proteins regulated by Pgp4 from the chlamydial inclusion to the host cytosol. This system consists of globular structures that form independently of known chlamydial secretion systems."

Chlamydia evasion of neutrophil host defense results in NLRP3 dependent myeloid-mediated sterile inflammation through the purinergic P2X7 receptor

Chunfu Yang et al.

Summary: Chlamydia trachomatis infection induces severe inflammatory diseases such as blindness and infertility, with NLRP3 inflammasome activation playing a crucial role in driving macrophage-associated endometritis leading to infertility. The chlamydial parasitophorous vacuole protein CT135 triggers NLRP3 inflammasome activation via TLR2/MyD88 signaling to evade neutrophil host defense, resulting in submucosal macrophage-associated endometritis driven by ATP/P2X7R induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This study sheds light on the role of Myeloid cells in immunopathology during Chlamydia trachomatis infection and highlights the mechanism of sterile inflammation in infectious disease pathogenesis.
