Abstract:	Escherichia coli is Gram-negative bacteria that exhibit a high genetic and phenotypic diversity. Many products, structures and bacterial properties can be used to overcome host defenses, mainly through a mechanism mediated by secretion systems. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is considered a potential virulence factor capable of translocating substrate effectors into largest cell types, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. T6SS has been described as important cell machinery involved mainly in competition among prokaryotic cells. However, the role of T6SS in eukaryotic host cell immunity is poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was investigate the role of bacterial T6SS on the antigen presentation and modulation of inflammatory response in mammalian cells infected by E. coli. We evaluated the modulation of different mechanisms involved in innate immune during the infection caused by E. coli wild type strain (SEPT362) and the knockout strains IcmF-deficient (delta IcmF). Here we demonstrate that, T6SS is beneficial to survival advantage of E. coli into host cells, since it participates in adherence, internalization and viability of E. coli bacteria within macrophages. Our results showed that E. coli wild type inhibits the expression of CD1 group I and group II molecules, and consequently the lipids antigens presentation. In contrast, the knockout strain delta IcmF triggered an upregulation of these molecules, showing the participation of T6SS in this process. Moreover, T6SS is associated with inhibition of expression of MHC II molecules, indicating participation in peptide antigen presentation and a possible form of immune escape by the pathogen. Furthermore, our results showed that T6SS participates in the modulation of expression of co-stimulatory molecules CD40 and CD80 on macrophages. In addition, we also found that E. coli SEPT362 induces an increased expression of the nuclear receptor PPARɣ in macrophage dependent of T6SS and did not induce the translocation of the transcription factor NF-kB during the infection. The infection by E. coli SEPT362 also induced a T6SS dependent increase of lipid droplets biogenesis. Moreover, we identified that T6SS participates in the reduction of macrophage cell viability, macrophages recruitment to mice peritoneal cavity and establishment of the pathogen in the liver. Finally we observed that T6SS participates in the induction of secretion of nitric oxide and IL-6 cytokine in macrophage, however the upregulation of IL-10 secretion is T6SS independent. Taken together, our results present a new T6SS role in innate immune host response and progress of E. coli pathogenesis.
