Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Immunoblot analyses of CI-M6PR expression in parental HEK293T and CI-M6PR-deficient cells generated by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. ( b ) Intracellular survival of Salmonella Typhi in parental HEK293T and CI-M6PR-deficient cells. Cells were infected with S . Typhi with a multiplicity of infection of 30, and CFUs were enumerated at 4, 24, and 48 hr after infection. Values are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. CFU = colony-forming units; SD = standard deviation. ( c ) Toxicity of typhoid toxin in parental HEK293T and CI-M6PR-deficient cells. Cells were treated with a serial dilution of purified typhoid toxin and the typhoid toxin intoxication was evaluated by examining the proportion of cells in G2/M as a consequence of typhoid toxin-mediated DNA damage. The data shown are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ( d and e ) Typhoid toxin transport carrier formation in parental HEK293T and CI-M6PR-deficient cells. Cells were infected with a S . Typhi strain expressing 3xFLAG epitope-tagged CdtB and stained with antibodies against the FLAG epitope (green) and S . Typhi LPS (red) ( d ). Scale bar, 5 μm. The quantification of typhoid toxin-associated fluorescent puncta, a measure of typhoid toxin carrier intermediates in infected cells, is shown in ( e ). Values represent relative fluorescence intensity and are the mean ± SEM of one of three independent experiments. ****: p<0.0001, unpaired two-sided t test. The results of two additional experiments are shown in . ( f–h ) Quantification of typhoid toxin export into the infection medium. Infection media obtained from S . Typhi-infected HEK293T parental ( f ) or CI-M6PR-deficient cells ( g ) were serially diluted as indicated and applied to uninfected HEK293T cells. The cell cycle profile of treated cells was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the percentage of cells at the G2/M phase, a measure of typhoid toxin toxicity, was determined. Values are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. The relative toxicity of the different samples, shown in ( h ), was measured by determining the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase from the results of the dilution of infection media experiments (shown in f and g) fitted by nonlinear regression. Values were normalized relative to those of the parental cells, which was considered to be 100 and are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ****: p<0.0001, unpaired two-sided t test. CI-M6PR: cation independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor; TT: typhoid toxin. Figure 2—source data 1. Unprocessed CdtB western blot. Figure 2—source data 2. Raw data of .
