Hydrogen sulfide, alanine, and pyruvate producing enzyme (HapE) is a recently discovered M. pneumoniae virulence factor that can produce H2S to promote erythrocyte lysis. However, other cytotoxic effects of HapE have not been explored. The present study examined the effects of this enzyme on normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells, in an attempt to identify additional mechanisms of M. pneumoniae pathogenesis. Recombinant HapE was purified for use in downstream assays. MTT and colony formation assays were conducted to determine the effects of HapE on cell viability and growth, while flow cytometry was used to examine changes in cell proliferation and cell cycle function. ELISA was performed to examine changes in the cytokine profile of HapE-treated cells. HapE treatment arrested NHBE cells in S phase and inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. The anti-inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-6 were significantly enhanced following HapE treatment. Increased secretion of pro-inflammatory factors was not observed. The effects of HapE on the respiratory epithelium may have an impact on the efficiency of host immune surveillance and pathogen elimination, and contribute to the pathogenesis of M. pneumoniae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20182201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,20]],"date-time":"2018-12-20T11:59:19Z","timestamp":1545307159000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The\n                    <i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae<\/i>\n                    HapE alters the cytokine profile and growth of human bronchial epithelial cells"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Shaoli","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing 100020, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guanhua","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing 100020, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanqing","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing 100020, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanling","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing 100020, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing 100020, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinghua","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing 100020, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongmei","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, Beijing 100020, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111617053436100_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"931","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00168811","article-title":"Community-acquired pneumonia in outpatients: aetiology and outcomes","volume":"40","author":"Cilloniz","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur.
