    Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome senses the activity of pore-forming toxins secreted by Staphylococcus aureus. The bacterial toxins compromise plasma membrane integrity which activates the NLRP3 inflammasome to induce host pore-forming proteins and cellular suicide, termed pyroptosis. Host cell death rates are routinely determined at pre-defined time points and on whole cell populations. To capture the dynamic interactions between bacterial pore-forming toxins and host cell death factors, we have applied live-cell imaging techniques capable of analyzing single cell events in real time. Here, we describe methods using live-cell imaging to determine the host responses, such as plasma membrane integrity, mitochondrial health, and apoptotic caspases, towards pore-forming toxins.

    Abstract Background: Media guidelines for reporting on suicide recommend that journalists should avoid monocausal explanations of suicide, but it is unclear if media items with monocausal explanations elicit different effects as compared to multicausal portrayals.
    Method: Using a web-based randomized controlled trial (n = 969), we tested five versions of a news article about the suicide of a teenage girl with varying portrayals of reasons for the suicide: (1) bullying as the sole (external) factor (i.e., monocausal), (2) several external social factors, (3) a combination of internal and external factors, (4) a combination of internal and external factors along with a focus on suicide prevention, or (5) no reason for the suicide (control group). We measured perceptions about the cause of suicide, attitudes toward suicide and suicide prevention, and identification with the suicidal protagonist with questionnaires.
    Results: Readers of articles that portrayed suicide as being caused by one specific reason or exclusively social factors tended to adopt these misconceptions. Identification with the suicidal protagonist did not vary between interventions groups, but was lower in the control group.
    Conclusion: Highlighting the multifactorial etiology of suicide in news articles may help to avoid the misconception that suicide is a monocausal issue.

    Abstract Stimulated emission depletion (STED) has been used to break the diffraction limit in fluorescence microscopy. Inspired by this success, similar methods were used to reduce the structure size in three-dimensional, subdiffractional optical lithography. So far, only a very limited number of radical polymerization starters proved to be suitable for STED-inspired lithography. In this contribution, we introduce the starter Michler's ethyl ketone (MEK), which has not been used so far for STED-inspired lithography. In contrast to the commonly used 7-diethylamino-3-thenoylcoumarin (DETC), nanostructures written with MEK show low autofluorescence in the visible range. Therefore, MEK is promising for being used as a starter for protein or cell scaffolds in physiological research because the autofluorescence of DETC so far excluded the use of the green emission channel in multicolor fluorescence or confocal microscopy. In turn, because of the weak transitions of MEK in the visible spectrum, STED, in its original sense, cannot be applied to deplete MEK in the outer rim of the point spread function. However, a 660 nm laser can be used for depletion because this wavelength is well within the absorption spectrum of transient states, possibly of triplet states. We show that polymerization can be fully stopped by applying transient state absorption at 660 nm and that structure sizes down to approx. 40 nm in the lateral and axial directions can be achieved, which means 1/20 of the optical wavelength used for writing.

    Abstract The programmed cell death pathways of pyroptosis and apoptosis protect mammals from infections. The activation of host cell death signaling depends on cell surface and cytosolic receptors that bind bacterial molecules or sense their activity. The formation of cytosolic protein complexes, such as the inflammasome and apoptosome, activates caspases, pore-forming proteins, and inflammatory cytokines. These pathways respond to bacteria and their released membrane vesicles. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that emerge from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria deliver a range of bacterial molecules, including lipids, proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids to host cells. Recent findings describe how OMV-associated molecules activate pyroptosis, apoptosis, and other inflammatory pathways. We discuss here how OMV-associated molecules are sensed by the immune system and how this contributes to infections and inflammatory diseases.

    Abstract Antimicrobial drug resistance is threatening to take us to the "pre-antibiotic era", where people are dying from preventable and treatable diseases and the risk of hospital-associated infections compromises the success of surgery and cancer treatments. Development of new antibiotics is slow, and alternative approaches to control infections have emerged based on insights into metabolic pathways in host-microbe interactions. Central carbon metabolism of immune cells is pivotal in mounting an effective response to invading pathogens, not only to meet energy requirements, but to directly activate antimicrobial responses. Microbes are not passive players here-they remodel their metabolism to survive and grow in host environments. Sometimes, microbes might even benefit from the metabolic reprogramming of immune cells, and pathogens such as Candida albicans, Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus can compete with activated host cells for sugars that are needed for essential metabolic pathways linked to inflammatory processes. Here, we discuss how metabolic interactions between innate immune cells and microbes determine their survival during infection, and ways in which metabolism could be manipulated as a therapeutic strategy.

    Abstract The programmed cell death pathway of apoptosis is essential for mammalian development and immunity as it eliminates unwanted and dangerous cells. As part of the cellular immune response, apoptosis removes the replicative niche of intracellular pathogens and enables the resolution of infections. To subvert apoptosis, pathogens have evolved a diverse range of mechanisms. In some circumstances, however, pathogens express effector molecules that induce apoptotic cell death. In this review, we focus on selected host-pathogen interactions that affect apoptotic pathways. We discuss how pathogens control the fate of host cells and how this determines the outcome of infections. Finally, small molecule inhibitors that activate apoptosis in cancer cells can also induce apoptotic cell death of infected cells. This suggests that targeting host death factors to kill infected cells is a potential therapeutic option to treat infectious diseases.
