Whole blood transcriptomics characterize molecular phenotypes of pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex disease

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease shows a range of clinical phenotypes and responses to treatment. While Th1 immunity and neutrophils have been implicated in its pathogenesis, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. Furthermore, comprehensive gene expression analysis in this context are scarce. This study aimed to elucidate the heterogeneity of pulmonary MAC disease by gene expression profiling of whole blood cells. Unsupervised cluster analysis was performed on whole blood gene expression data at 0M. In addition, we also evaluated the variation in gene expression profiles of whole blood cells before (0M) and after starting treatment (1M) with guideline based therapy (GBT; azithromycin [AZM]/clarithromycin [CAM]+ethambutol [EB]+rifampicin [RFP]).

Cyclophostin and Cyclipostins analogues counteract macrolide-induced resistance mediated by Erm(41) in Mycobacterium abscessus

Project description:Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging pathogen causing severe pulmonary infections, particularly in individuals with underlying conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Macrolides, including clarithromycin (CLR) and azithromycin (AZM), represent the current cornerstone of antibiotherapy against M. abscessus complex. However, prolonged exposure to macrolides can induce the apparition of Erm(41)-mediated resistance, limiting their spectrum of activity and often leading to therapeutic failure. Therefore, inhibiting Erm(41) could thwart this resistance mechanism to maintain macrolide susceptibility and avoid the therapeutic failure. In a previous study, the Erm(41) methyltransferase was identified as a target enzyme of Cyclipostins and Cyclophostin compounds (CyC). Herein, we took advantage of this feature to evaluate the in vitro activity of clarithromycin and azithromycin in combination with different CyC via the checkerboard assay on macrolide susceptible and induced macrolide-resistant M. abscessus generated by either clarithromycin or azithromycin exposure. Our results emphasize the use of the CyC to prevent/overcome Erm(41) induced resistance, restore macrolide susceptibility. This work should help to expand our therapeutic arsenal in the fight against a particularly antibiotic resistant mycobacterial species and could provide the opportunity to revisit the therapeutic regimen for combating M. abscessus pulmonary infections in CF patients, and particularly in erm(41)-positive strains.

Azithromycin effects on lung microbiome in COPD patient

Project description:Azithromycin (AZM) reduces pulmonary inflammation and exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with emphysema. The antimicrobial effects of AZM on the lung microbiome are not known and may contribute to its beneficial effects. Methods. Twenty smokers with emphysema were randomized to receive AZM 250 mg or placebo daily for 8 weeks. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed at baseline and after treatment. Measurements included: rDNA gene quantity and sequence. Results. Compared with placebo, AZM did not alter bacterial burden but reduced Î±-diversity, decreasing 11 low abundance taxa, none of which are classical pulmonary pathogens. Conclusions. AZM treatment the lung microbiome Randomized trial comparing azithromycin (AZM) treatment with placebo for eight weeks. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were obtained before and after treatment to explore the effects of AZM on microbiome, in the lower airways. 16S rRNA was quantified and sequenced (MiSeq) The amplicons from total 39 samples are barcoded and the barcode is provided in the metadata_complete.txt file.

Use of azithromycin may impair fetal growth via causing ER stress in placental syncytiotrophoblasts

Project description:Azithromycin (AZM) is widely used to treat perinatal mycoplasma infection in pregnancy. The use of AZM is thought to have few adverse consequences. However, emerging evidence indicates that AZM may have potential adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes. Here, we explored whether AZM might affect pregnancy outcomes by influencing placental function. To investigate the effects of azithromycin on human placenta trophoblast, Transcriptomic sequencing was conducted to screen the genes and biological pathways influenced by AZM in cultured human placental trophoblasts

The potential role of drug transporters and amikacin modifying enzymes in M. avium

Project description:Background: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteria cause opportunistic infections in humans. Treatment yields cure rates of 60% and is comprised of a macrolide, a rifamycin and ethambutol; and in severe cases amikacin. Mechanisms of antibiotic tolerance remain mostly unknown. To elucidate these mechanisms, we studied the transcriptomic response to antibiotics and investigated the contribution of efflux and amikacin modification to susceptibility. Methods: M. avium was subjected to subinhibitory concentrations of clarithromycin, amikacin, ethambutol and rifampicin followed by RNA sequencing. Based thereupon, we characterized M. avium efflux pumps and performed time-kill kinetic analysis using each antibiotic in combination with the efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) berberine, verapamil and CCCP to study the role of efflux on susceptibility. Finally, we studied the modification of amikacin by M. avium using metabolomic analysis. Results: Changes in respiratory state and changes in ribosome binding and protein folding likely contribute to clarithromycin and amikacin tolerance, respectively. No clear drug-specific mechanisms of tolerance are found for ethambutol and rifampicin. Of the EPIs, only berberine increased the susceptibility to rifampicin and clarithromycin. Finally, we show that M. avium, in contrast to M. abscessus, is not able to modify amikacin. Conclusion: M. avium likely relies on a combination of drug-specific and generic mechanisms of antibiotic tolerance including changes in respiratory and metabolic state in addition to drug efflux and target modification. Efflux inhibition can increase susceptibility but this effect is EPI and antibiotic specific. Finally, the lack of amikacin modifying activity in M. avium is important for its activity.

High-throughput 3-prime end RNA-seq of Pseudomonas aeruginosa response to Azithromycin

Project description:P. aeruginosa produces serious chronic infections in hospitalized patients and immunocompromised individuals, including cystic fibrosis patients. The molecular mechanisms by which P. aeruginosa responds to antibiotics and other stresses to promote persistent infections may provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention. Azithromycin (AZM), an antibiotic frequently utilized in cystic fibrosis treatment, is thought to improve clinical outcomes through a number of mechanisms including impaired biofilm growth and quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa. However, the mechanisms underlying the transcriptional response to AZM remain unclear. Here, we interrogated the P. aeruginosa transcriptional response to AZM using a fast and affordable genome-wide approach to quantitate RNA 3-prime-ends (3pMap). We identify new riboregulators and identify a prominent role of transcription termination in the response to AZM treatment.

Identification of novel targets of azithromycin activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown in physiologically relevant media

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe multi-drug resistant infections that often lead to bacteremia and sepsis. Physiologically relevant conditions can increase the susceptibility of pathogens to antibiotics, such as azithromycin (AZM). When compared to minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) in lab media, AZM had a 16-fold lower MIC in tissue culture medium with 5% MHB, and a 64-fold lower MIC in this tissue culture medium with 20% human serum. AZM also demonstrated increased synergy in combination with synthetic host defence peptides DJK-5 and IDR-1018 under host-like conditions and in a murine abscess model. To mechanistically study the altered effects of AZM under physiologically relevant conditions, global transcriptional analysis was performed on P. aeruginosa with and without effective concentrations of AZM. This revealed that the arn operon, mediating arabinosaminylation of lipopolysaccharides, and related regulatory systems, were downregulated in host-like media when compared to MHB. Inactivation of genes within the arn operon led to increased susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to AZM and great increases in synergy between AZM and other antimicrobial agents, indicating that dysregulation of the arn operon might explain increased AZM uptake and synergy in host-like media. Furthermore, genes involved in central and energy metabolism, and ribosome biogenesis were dysregulated more in physiologically relevant conditions treated with AZM, likely due to general changes in cell physiology as a result of the increased effectiveness of AZM in these conditions. These data suggest that, in addition to the arn operon, there are multiple factors in host-like environments that are responsible for observed changes in susceptibility.
