Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is a serious pathogen that can survive within host cells after a typical course of treatment completion, leading to chronic infection. Knowledge of host proteomic patterns after clearance of this pathogen from cells is limited. Here, we looked for S. aureus clearance biomarkers produced by in vitro-infected leukocytes. Extracellular proteins from primary human leukocytes infected with S. aureus ATCC 25923 were investigated as possible treatment-monitoring clearance biomarkers by applying a proteomics approach combining liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and protein interaction network analysis. It was found that the expression patterns of proteins secreted by S. aureus-infected leukocytes differed among stages of infection. Proteomic profiles showed that an ATPase, aminophospholipid transporter-like, Class I, type 8A, member 2 (ATP8A2) was expressed in the clearance stage and was not detected at any earlier stage or in uninfected controls. Protein network analysis showed that TERF2 (telomeric repeat-binding factor 2), ZNF440 (zinc finger protein 440), and PPP1R14A (phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 14A) were up-regulated, while GLE1, an essential RNA-export mediator, was suppressed in both infection and clearance stages, suggesting their potential roles in S. aureus infection and clearance. These findings are the first to report that the ATP8A2 has potential as a clearance biomarker for S. aureus infection.
