Azithromycin effects on lung microbiome in COPD patient

ABSTRACT: 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 α-diversity, decreasing 11 low abundance taxa, none of which are classical pulmonary pathogens. Conclusions. AZM treatment the lung microbiome

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.

Azithromycin treatment modifies airway and blood gene expression networks in neutrophilic COPD

Project description:Long-term, low dose azithromycin reduces exacerbation frequency in COPD yet the mechanism remains unclear. This study characterises changes to gene expression in patients with neutrophilic COPD in response to long term low dose azithromycin therapy. Patients with neutrophilic COPD (>61% or >162x10^4/mL sputum neutrophils) were randomised to 12 weeks of either azithromycin or placebo treatment. RNA was extracted from sputum and blood collected before (pre) and after (post) treatment.

Expression data from Pseudomonas aeruginosa exposed to a low concentration of Azithromycin

Project description:Low-dose macrolides are effective therapy in patients with chronic lung infections, but the mechanisms of action are unclear. We compared global gene expression profiles between P.aeruginosa with and without low-dose Azithromycin (AZM) to study why the low-dose macrolide therapy is effective for cystic fibrosis and diffuse panbronchiolitis. Keywords: dose-response

COPD Study

Project description:Comparison of severely emphysematous tissue removed at lung volume reduction surgery to that of normal or mildly emphysematous lung tissue resected from smokers with nodules suspicious for lung cancer. Data obtained from the 18 patients with severe emphysema and 12 patients with mild/no emphysema. Research may provide insights into the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Keywords: other

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.

Comparison of Azithromycin treated and non-treated human lung fibroblasts

Project description:Azithromycin has been shown to have anti-fibrotic effects on idiopathic lung fibroblasts (IPF). We thus wanted to investigate involved genes and pathways by microarray analysis. We treated normal human lung fibroblasts with Azithromycin (50uM) for 24h and compared them to non-treated samples.

Association of sputum microbiome with exacerbations, patient subgroups and host response in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Project description:Little is known about the lung microbiome dynamics and host-microbiome interactions in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations and in patient subgroups based on smoking status and disease severity. Here we performed a 16S ribosomal RNA survey on sputum microbiome from 16 healthy and 43 COPD subjects. For COPD subjects, a longitudinal sampling was performed from stable state to exacerbations, at two and six weeks post-exacerbations and at six months from first stable visit. Host sputum transcriptome were characterized for a subset of COPD patient samples.
