C Differential ability of M. Kan R , or a plasmid-complemented strain CP was used to infect human macrophages at a multiplicity of infection of one mycobacteria per ten cells. Nevertheless, our data provide compelling evidence that CtpC plays a crucial role in the ability of M. Our results demonstrate that M. Zinc poisoning may be a general feature of the innate immunity system. As zinc is freely released in late endosomes and lysosomes, to even higher levels than in the early endosomal compartment, we hypothesized that nonpathogenic microbes that are readily killed by macrophages might become even more susceptible in the absence of their zinc efflux systems.

We tested this hypothesis by infecting human macrophages with either a nonpathogenic strain of E. As observed with M. In addition, live imaging of FluoZin-3 in infected cells revealed FZ3-positive vesicular structures trafficking to and contacting FZ3-positive phagosomes Movie S1. As predicted, the zntA null mutant of E. Thus, zinc accumulation in phagolysosomes contributes to microbial control by macrophages. A Labeling of free zinc in macrophages. Cells were fixed and stained with the zinc-specific fluorescent probe FluoZin-3 FZ3, green , and the plasma membrane was stained with the lectin marker WGA red.

All experiments were performed independently at least two times, and a representative experiment is shown. This study illustrates how a parallel transcriptional survey between an intracellular microbe and its host cell may provide substantial insights into microbe physiology and host defenses. In the case of M. Such waves of free zinc are not observed in the presence of an inhibitor of the NADPH-dependent phagocyte oxidase, the enzyme involved in generating oxygen species. This raises questions about the way in which free zinc is transported into the endosomal-lysosomal pathway.

It remains unclear whether and which ZnTs are involved in zinc accumulation in the endosomal-lysosomal pathway in macrophages upon phagocytosis. This increase would be sufficient to induce ctpC transcription in M. In the presence of excess free zinc, only a limited number of M. We have not formally demonstrated that CtpC is a zinc efflux pump in M.

In fact, CtpC is required for the intracellular replication of M. For example, it is possible that, at high concentrations, zinc replaces other metal ions, such as copper, in a number of essential enzymes, leading to bacterial cell death. Although we have not formally demonstrated that zinc uptake is required for zinc to be toxic to bacteria, it is worth noting that bacterial death correlates with increased cytosolic free zinc in our experiments Figures 4 and 5.

The exact mechanism s of zinc penetration into the bacteria, and of bacterial killing by free zinc, still remains to be fully understood. This result was somehow surprising, and to a certain extent disappointing, but we think that there may be reasons for that.

First, some compensation mechanism, for instance mediated by other Ctp proteins, may couteract ctpC deficiency; this may be addressed using mutants inactivated in several P-type ATPases, wich is ongoing in the laboratory. Second, we have used here high-dose challenge models with inoculum sizes of up to CFUs.

We may be able to detect an attenuation phenotype for the ctpC mutant in low-dose models 50— CFUs , or in other animal models, which is also ongoing in our laboratory.

Last, it must be underlined here that zinc trafficking inside eukaryotic cells may be highly dependent on the cell type under consideration. In this context, understanding the mechanism of zinc release in macrophages, and whether this influences the immune capacities of these cells, may reveal aspects of the cell biology of zinc. The intracellular release of free zinc is not restricted to the phagocytosis of mycobacteria, as it also occurs when macrophages engulf other microbes, such as E.

In this case, zinc accumulates in maturing phagolysosomes, probably contributing to microbial killing because a mutant of E. These results suggest that microbial poisoning by free zinc may constitute a mechanism used by macrophages, and possibly other phagocytes, to constrain microbes after their phagocytosis, thereby facilitating their clearance.

The intracellular poisoning of microbes by heavy metals in immune cells may also involve other ions, such as copper. Intracellular poisoning with free copper may also occur in mycobacterial infections, because ctpV , a putative copper exporter-encoding gene, is induced in intracellular M. It remains to be evaluated whether and how free copper can reach microbial vacuoles within macrophages. Our findings may have various implications for treatment.

First, CtpC and other P-type ATPases, along with their putative functional partners, are potentially interesting targets for discovering treatments against mycobacteria and other microbes. Second, in the event that there is compensation between different Ctp proteins, M. Third, understanding zinc homeostasis on a cell type per cell type basis may provide means to manipulate the overall immune system response for the benefit of the patient.

Rather than to serve as a contradiction to the NRAMP model that predicts vertebrate exploitation of bacterial requirement for transition metals e. Indeed, our results and working model raise the question of micronutrient supplementation in patients with TB or other infections. Several clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate whether zinc supplementation, generally in conjunction with vitamin A, can help to accelerate classical antituberculous drug treatments.

The beneficial effect of zinc supplementation may be apparent only in individuals with low serum zinc concentrations, or may depend on the individual genetic background concerning zinc metabolism. In conclusion, our results suggest that an intact zinc resistance system is necessary, but not sufficient, for intracellular parasitism by pathogenic mycobacteria. Gould Gould and Vrba, , with M.

See the Supplemental Experimental Procedures for more details. Total zinc, copper, nickel, and cadmium were quantified in dried bacterial pellets by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ICP-MS, Antellis, Toulouse, France. The isotopes used in this study were as follows: The four-point calibration curves used for quantification were obtained by dilution of a certified reference material Inorganic Ventures.

The experiments were performed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, with the following parameters: All experiments performed at least in triplicate were analyzed using the Student's t test, eventually corrected Welch's formula when variances differed between the two samples, according to the F test.
