Article Title: Macrophages lift off surface-bound bacteria using a filopodium-lamellipodium hook-and-shovel mechanism
Journal: Scientific Reports

Figure Legend Snippet: Deconvolved confocal fluorescence and interference reflection micrographs (IRM). Samples were stained for macrophage actin (white), CD48 (yellow) and E. coli (red). CD48 exclusively localized within the macrophage membrane including filopodia (see arrowheads and x-z and y-z cross sections). Filopodia (FP) and lamellipodia (LP) – bacteria contacts were suggested by IRM.
Techniques Used: Fluorescence, Staining, Membrane, Bacteria
Figure Legend Snippet: (a) Addition of 2% soluble α−D-mannopyranoside inhibitor (αMM) and CD48 antibodies substantially reduced the rate of E. coli phagocytosis. Uptake rates were analysed for 10 independent macrophages during 10 min live cell experiments and normalized by the time-averaged number of bacteria available in the zone explored by filopodia. Mean values are given as horizontal line. (b) Bacterial uptake was observed at all sides of the macrophages and was independent of the direction of fluid flow (0.1 ml/min flow rate/0.06 pN/μm 2 shear stress). (c) Filopodia length distribution as analysed from fixed macrophages. 95% of the filopodia (n = 400) have a length less than 8 μm, which we defined here as the filopodia sensing zone (yellow area).
Techniques Used: Bacteria, Shear
Figure Legend Snippet: (a) Accumulation of type I fimbriated E. coli FimH-j96 bacteria on flow chamber bottom glass surfaces coated with CD48, mono-mannose bovine serum albumin (1 M) and tri-mannose RNaseB (3 M) under varying shear stresses τ (1 pN μm −2 = 1 Pascal or 10 dynes cm −2 ). E. coli accumulation was analysed after 5 min. As negative controls, either 2% of a mono-mannose inhibitor (αMM) was added to the media ( ), or the non-fimbriated E. coli parent strain AAEC191A was used (Δfim, ). (b) Fraction of E. coli FimH-j96 that adhered firmly on CD48, 1 M and 3 M. Bacteria were defined firmly adhering if they moved less than one-half of a bacterial diameter over >30 s. (c) Effect of different FimH variants on bacterial accumulation to 1 M and CD48. While the low binding FimH-f18 strain only adhered to CD48 and 1 M above a critical shear stress, FimH-j96 E. coli accumulated on CD48 without any shear threshold.
Techniques Used: Bacteria, Shear, Binding Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: (a) The mannosylated membrane anchored surface receptor CD48 of macrophages specifically binds to the bacterial fimbrial tip adhesin FimH, which contains a single mannose-binding pocket in the lectin domain (Hook). (b) Due to filopodia retractions, the bacterial fimbriae are elongated. As bacteria adhere tightly to substrate surfaces via multiple bonds, the macrophages fail to pull bacteria off the surface via the hook alone. (c) To facilitate uptake, macrophages protrude lamellipodia towards the bacterium to sequentially break the bonds that anchor E. coli to the surface (Shovel). (d) Once the bacterium is completely lifted off the substrate and lies on the lamellipodium, a phagocytic cup is formed to internalize the bacterium.
