Project description:The emergence of drug resistance among tuberculosis (TB) patients is often associated with their non-compliance to the length of the chemotherapy, which can reach up to 2 years for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) TB. Drugs that would kill TB faster and would not lead to the development of drug resistance could shorten chemotherapy significantly. In Escherichia coli, the common mechanism of cell death by bactericidal antibiotics is the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals via the Fenton reaction. Since ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is known to drive the Fenton reaction, we tested whether the Fenton reaction could lead to a bactericidal event in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by treating M. tuberculosis cultures with vitamin C. Here, we report that the addition of vitamin C to drug-susceptible, MDR and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis strains results in sterilization of the cultures in vitro. We show that the sterilizing effect of vitamin C on M. tuberculosis was dependent on the production of high ferrous ion levels and reactive oxygen species. Although, this potent sterilizing activity of vitamin C against M. tuberculosis in vitro was not observed in mice, we believe this activity needs further investigation.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest infectious disorders in the world. To effectively TB manage, an essential step is to gain insight into the lineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains and the distribution of drug resistance. Although the Campania region is declared a cluster area for the infection, to contribute to the effort to understand TB evolution and transmission, still poorly known, we have generated a dataset of 159 genomes of MTB strains, from Campania region collected during 2018-2021, obtained from the analysis of whole genome sequence data. The results show that the most frequent MTB lineage is the 4 according for 129 strains (81.11%). Regarding drug resistance, 139 strains (87.4%) were classified as multi susceptible, while the remaining 20 (12.58%) showed drug resistance. Among the drug-resistance strains, 8 were isoniazid-resistant MTB (HR-MTB), 7 were resistant only to one antibiotic (3 were resistant only to ethambutol and 3 isolate to streptomycin while one isolate showed resistance to fluoroquinolones), 4 multidrug-resistant MTB, while only one was classified as pre-extensively drug-resistant MTB (pre-XDR). This dataset expands the existing available knowledge on drug resistance and evolution of MTB, contributing to further TB-related genomics studies to improve the management of TB infection.

Project description:①Background:Tuberculosis is mainly a respiratory tract infection caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the Global Tuberculosis Report in 2021, About a quarter of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and China is the second highest burden of TB. Although TB diagnosis and prevention techniques have become more mature, the number of TB cases is still increasing, mainly due to: the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis bacteria, tuberculosis and HIV co-infection, long incubation time of mycobacterium tuberculosis difficult to early diagnosis and so on. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the pathogenesis of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.②Method: THP-1 cells were treated with 50ng/ml PMA for 24 hours, so that THP-1 cell can be induced into macrophages. After that THP-1 macrophages were infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv(MOI=1), which were collected and applied to RNA-sequencing. The constructed sequencing library was sequenced using an Illumina Novaseq 6000 system.

Project description:In view of emerging drug-resistant tuberculosis, host directed therapies are urgently needed to improve treatment outcomes with currently available anti-tuberculosis therapies. One option is to interfere with the formation of lipid-laden “foamy” macrophages in the infected host. Here, we provide evidence that WNT6, a member of the evolutionary conserved WNT signaling pathway, promotes foam cell formation by regulating key lipid metabolic genes including acetyl-CoA carboxylase-2 (ACC2) during pulmonary TB. In addition, we demonstrate that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) facilitates its intracellular growth and dissemination in the host by exploiting the WNT6-ACC2 pathway. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we show that lack of functional WNT6 or ACC2 significantly reduces intracellular TAG levels, Mtb growth and necrotic cell death of macrophages. In combination with the anti-TB drug isoniazid, pharmacological inhibition of ACC2 improved anti-mycobacterial treatment in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, we propose the WNT6-ACC2 signaling pathway as a promising target for a host-directed therapy to reduce intracellular replication of Mtb by modulating neutral lipid metabolism.

Project description:The emergence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis and the increasing level of resistance urges the search for alternative drugs in treatment. Several neuroleptics, like thioridazine, reveal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thioridazine was even successfully applied in compassionate therapy of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis in patients when added to other second and third line antibiotics. The synergistic effects between thioridazine and other anti-tuberculosis drugs is usually assigned to the inhibition of efflux pumps by thioridazine. Using an unbiased proteomic approach, we set out to unravel the molecular mechanism of this potential new anti-tuberculosis component by examining the impact of continuous thioridazine exposure on the proteome of M. tuberculosis. We discovered that under the influence of thioridazine several proteins involved in the maintenance of the cell wall permeability barrier are differentially regulated, while none of the known mycobacterial efflux pumps was differentially regulated on the protein level. By assessing accumulation of fluorescent dyes in M. tuberculosis over time, we demonstrated that long-term drug exposure of M. tuberculosis indeed affected the mycobacterial cell envelope and increased the permeability towards both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. Furthermore, we demonstrated that treatment of M. tuberculosis with thioridazine altered the composition of the plasma membrane. Thioridazine induced an increase in cell envelope permeability, and thereby the enhanced uptake of compounds, this could explain the previously reported synergistic effects between thioridazine and other anti-tuberculosis drugs. Although the hypothesis of higher intercellular drug concentrations by THZ has not changed in this study, the more exact knowledge on its mode of action is a major step forward. This new insight in the molecular mechanism of this anti-tuberculosis compound could facilitate further development of this class of drugs for application in drug therapy of multidrug resistant tuberculosis. In fact, the efficacy of many existing drugs could be improved significantly.

Project description:The alarming rise of antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis coupled with the shortage of new antibiotics has made tuberculosis (TB) control a global health priority. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the growth of multi-drug resistant isolates of M. tuberculosis. Repurposing NSAIDs, with known clinical properties and safety records, offers a direct route to clinical trials. Therefore we investigated the novel mechanisms of anti-mycobacterial action of the NSAID, carprofen. Integrative molecular and microbiological approaches revealed that carprofen, a bactericidal drug, inhibited bacterial drug efflux mechanisms. In addition, carprofen restricted mycobacterial biofilm-like growth, highlighting the requirement of efflux-mediated communicative systems for the formation of biofilms. Transcriptome profiling revealed that carprofen likely acts by inhibiting respiration through the disruption of membrane potential, which may explain why spontaneous drug-resistant mutants could not be raised due to the pleiotropic nature of carprofen’s anti-tubercular action. This immunomodulatory drug has the potential to reverse TB antimicrobial resistance by inhibiting drug efflux pumps and biofilm formation, and paves a new chemotherapeutic path for tackling tuberculosis.
