Deposition of human amyloids is associated with complex human diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Amyloid proteins are also produced by bacteria. The bacterial amyloid curli, found in the extracellular matrix of both commensal and pathogenic enteric bacterial biofilms, forms complexes with extracellular DNA, and recognition of these complexes by the host immune system may initiate an autoimmune response. Here, we isolated early intermediate, intermediate, and mature curli fibrils that form throughout the biofilm development and investigated the structural and pathogenic properties of each. Early intermediate aggregates were smaller than intermediate and mature curli fibrils, and circular dichroism, tryptophan, and thioflavin T analyses confirmed the establishment of a beta-sheet secondary structure as the curli conformations matured. Intermediate and mature curli fibrils were more immune stimulatory than early intermediate fibrils in vitro. The intermediate curli was cytotoxic to macrophages independent of Toll-like receptor 2. Mature curli fibrils had the highest DNA content and induced the highest levels of Isg15 expression and TNFα production in macrophages. In mice, mature curli fibrils induced the highest levels of anti-double-stranded DNA autoantibodies. The levels of autoantibodies were higher in autoimmune-prone NZBWxF/1 mice than wild-type C57BL/6 mice. Chronic exposure to all curli forms led to significant histopathological changes and synovial proliferation in the joints of autoimmune-prone mice; mature curli was the most detrimental. In conclusion, curli fibrils, generated during biofilm formation, cause pathogenic autoimmune responses that are stronger when curli complexes contain higher levels of DNA and in mice predisposed to autoimmunity.
