Studies of the proteins synthesized by Salmonella
typhimurium during growth within tissue culture cells have
previously focused on a single cell type. In the present study we
examine the different protein patterns exhibited by S. typhimurium during growth within three different cell types
relevant to those it would encounter throughout the course of a natural
infection, including intestinal epithelial cells (Intestine-407),
macrophages (J774.A, rat bone marrow-derived macrophages, and
mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages), and liver cells (NMuLi).
Side-by-side comparisons reveal that S. typhimurium
responds to these different cellular environments with specific
patterns of protein synthesis unique to each cell type. The numbers of
proteins detected in each cell line are as follows: 142 proteins in
Intestine-407, of which 58 appear to be unique to growth within this
cell line; 413 proteins in J774.A, of which 157 appear to be unique;
260 proteins in rat bone marrow-derived macrophages, of which 40 appear
to be unique; 336 proteins in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages, of
which 113 appear to be unique; and 183 proteins in NMuLi, of which 91 appear to be unique.
