Abstract
Inflammasomes are important innate immune components in mammals. However, the bacterial factors modulating inflammasome activation in fish, and the mechanisms by which they alter fish immune defenses, remain to be investigated. In this work, a mutant of the fish pathogen Edwardsiella piscicida (E. piscicida), called 0909I, was shown to overexpress hemolysin, which could induce a robust pyroptotic-like cell death dependent on caspase-5-like-activity during infection in fish non-phagocyte cells. E. piscicida hemolysin was found to mainly associate with bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), which were internalized into the fish cells via a dynamin-dependent endocytosis and induced pyroptotic-like cell death. Importantly, bacterial immersion infection of both larvae and adult zebrafish suggested that dysregulated expression of hemolysin alerts the innate immune system and induces intestinal inflammation to restrict bacterial colonization in vivo. Taken together, these results suggest a critical role of zebrafish innate immunity in monitoring invaded pathogens via detecting the bacterial hemolysin-associated outer membrane vesicles and initiating pyroptotic-like cell death. These new additions to the understanding of hemolysin-mediated pathogenesis in vivo provide evidence for the existence of non-canonical inflammasome signaling in lower vertebrates.
