Vibrio vulnificus is an estuarian bacterium that causes septicemia and serious wound infection. The cytolysin, one of the important virulence determinants in V. vulnificus infection, has been reported to have lethal activity primarily by increasing pulmonary vascular permeability. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxic mechanism of V. vulnificus cytolysin in cultured pulmonary artery endothelial (CPAE) cells, which are possible target cells of cytolysin in vivo. V. vulnificus cytolysin caused the CPAE cell damages with elevation of the cytosolic free Ca2+, DNA fragmentation, and decrease of the cellular NAD+ and ATP level. These cytotoxic effects of V. vulnificus cytolysin were prevented by EGTA and aminobenzamide, but were not affected by verapamil or catalase. These results indicate that the elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ induced by V. vulnificus cytolysin causes the increase of DNA fragmentation and the damaged DNA activates nuclear poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase, which depletes the cellular NAD+ and ATP, resulting in cell death.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009243 NAD A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
