Transcriptional response of M. tuberculosis to AX-35 treatment


ABSTRACT: We report here lead optimisation efforts for molecule GW861072X, one of 177 leads published in a GSK-led phenotypic screening campaign by Balell et al. (2013), generating the AX series. Along with the parent compound AX-35, four other derivatives with mild to no cytotoxicity showed potent in vitro and ex vivo activity in infected THP-1 macrophages against M. tuberculosis. Isolation of resistant mutants to AX compounds in M. tuberculosis revealed mutations in the QcrB of the cytochrome bc1 oxidase, one of two terminal oxidases of the mycobacterial electron transport chain. Cross-resistance studies, transcriptomic analyses and bioenergetics flux assays provide further evidence of QcrB as the target of the AX compounds, and that AX compounds likely interact differently with the quinol binding pocket compared to other QcrB inhibitors. The transcriptomic and bioenergetic profiles obtained when M. tuberculosis was treated with AX-35 are similar to transcriptomic and respiratory signatures of other cytochrome bc1 oxidase inhibitors, whereby the pronounced role of the alternate terminal oxidase cytochrome bd in the respiratory adaptation of M. tuberculosis could be observed. Genes involved in utilisation and synthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG) were also additionally observed to be up-regulated with AX treatment, indicating a switch induced towards lipid metabolism under this particular stress.
