摘要： Mammary gland-derived Escherichia coli is an important pathogen causing dairy cow mastitis. Mammary gland mucosal immunity against infectious E. coli mainly depends on recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns by innate receptors. Stimulator of interferon (IFN) gene (STING) has recently been the dominant mediator in reacting to bacterial intrusion and preventing inflammatory disorders. In this study, we first proved that the diguanylate cyclase YeaJ relieves mouse mammary gland pathological damage by changing E. coli phenotypic and host STING-dependent innate immunity responses. YeaJ decreases mammary gland circular vacuoles, bleeding, and degeneration in mice. In addition, YeaJ participates in STING-IRF3 signaling to regulate inflammation in vivo. In vitro, YeaJ decreases damage to macrophages (RAW264.7) but not to mouse mammary epithelial cells (EpH4-Ev). Consistent with the results in mouse mammary glands, YeaJ significantly activates the STING/TBK1/IRF3 pathway in RAW264.7 macrophages as well. In conclusion, the deletion of yeaJ facilitates E. coli NJ17 escape from STING-dependent innate immunity recognition in vitro and in vivo. This study highlights a novel role for YeaJ in E. coli infection, which provides a better understanding of hostbacterium interactions and potential prophylactic strategies for infections. IMPORTANCE E. coli is the etiological agent of environmental mastitis in dairy cows, which causes massive financial losses worldwide. However, the pathophysiological role of YeaJ in the interaction between E. coli and host remains unclear. We found that YeaJ significantly influences various biological characteristics and suppresses severe inflammatory response as well as greater damage. YeaJ alleviates damage to macrophages (RAW264.7) and mouse mammary gland. Moreover, these effects of YeaJ are achieved at least partial by mediating the STING-IRF3 signaling pathway. In conclusion, the deletion of yeaJ facilitates E. coli NJ17 escape from STING-dependent innate immunity recognition in vitro and in vivo. This study is the basis for further research to better understand host-bacterium interactions and provides potential prophylactic strategies for infections.
