The bioavailability of arginine is an important factor determining of actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Pathogenic microorganisms can use arginine-hydrolyzing enzymes to disrupt the confluences of the vascular endothelium for subsequent dissemination. In this study, the effect of streptococcal arginine deiminase on the human umbilical vein endothelial cells monolayer confluence and the actin cytoskeleton structure <italic>in vitro</italic> was studied. The original technique for obtaining supernatants by sonication destroyed streptococcal cells (SDSCs) of the original strain of <italic>Streptococcus</italic> <italic>pyogenes</italic> M49-16 and its isogenic mutant with the inactivated arginine deiminase gene <italic>S</italic>. <italic>pyogenes</italic> M49-16del<italic>ArcA</italic> was used in this study. The changes in the L-arginine concentration were evaluated by the modified Sakaguchi colorimetric method. The structure of the actin cytoskeleton was analyzed after cells staining with fluorescent dye labeled phalloidin. The confluence of the endothelial cell monolayer was evaluated morphologically after staining the cells with crystal violet dye. It was found that in the presence of the parental strain-derived SDSC, a significant decrease in the arginine concentration in the endothelial cells culture medium caused dynamic changes in the actin cytoskeleton structure. After 48 hours, lamellae and stress fibers formed. After 72 hours, the content of F-actin decreased and the confluence of the monolayer of endothelial cells was disrupted. Such changes were not detected when cells were cultured under standard conditions and in the presence of mutant strain-derived SDSC. The results obtained show that pathogenic microbes can use arginine depletion to regulate endothelial barrier function and dissemination in the host organism.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p id="idm45181324376096">Регуляция барьерной функции эндотелия зависит от динамики актинового цитоскелета, которая обусловлена биодоступностью аргинина. Патогенные микроорганизмы могут использовать аргинингидролизующие ферменты для нарушения непрерывности эндотелиальной выстилки сосудов и последующей диссеминации. В данном исследовании изучали влияние аргининдеиминазы пиогенного стрептококка на конфлюэнтность монослоя и структуру актинового цитоскелета эндотелиальных клеток вены пупочного канатика человека <italic>in vitro</italic>. В экспериментах использовали оригинальную методику получения супернатантов разрушенных ультразвуком стрептококковых клеток (СРС) исходного штамма <italic>Streptococcus pyogenes</italic> M49-16 и его изогенного мутанта с инактивированным геном аргининдеиминазы <italic>S. pyogenes</italic> М49-16del<italic>ArcA</italic>. Анализ концентрации L-аргинина производили модифицированным колориметрическим методом Сaкагучи. Структуру актинового цитоскелета анализировали с помощью окрашивания клеток фаллоидином, меченным флуоресцирующим красителем. Конфлюэнтность монослоя эндотелиальных клеток оценивали морфологически после окрашивания клеток красителем кристаллическим фиолетовым. Было установлено, что в присутствии СРС исходного штамма достоверное снижение концентрации L-аргинина в культуре эндотелиальных клеток совпадало с динамическими изменениями структуры актинового цитоскелета. Через 48 ч происходило формирование ламелли и стресс фибрилл. Через 72 ч содержание F-актина снижалось, и конфлюэнтность монослоя эндотелиальных клеток нарушалась. Такие изменения не были выявлены при культивировании клеток в стандартных условиях или в присутствии СРС мутантного по гену аргининдеиминазы штамма. Полученные результаты показывают, что патогенные микроорганизмы могут использовать истощение аргинина для регуляции барьерной функции эндотелия и диссеминации в организме хозяина.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>arginine</kwd><kwd>actin cytoskeleton</kwd><kwd>endothelial cells</kwd><kwd>arginine deiminase</kwd><kwd><italic>Streptococcus pyogenes</italic></kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>аргинин</kwd><kwd>актиновый цитоскелет</kwd><kwd>эндотелиальные клетки</kwd><kwd>аргининдеиминаза</kwd><kwd><italic>Streptococcus pyogenes</italic></kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование клеточных и молекулярных основ патологий аорты с использованием ткани, полученной из остатков после хирургических вмешательств, одобрено этическим комитетом НМИЦ им.
