Mycobacterium abscessus Extracellular Vesicles Increase Mycobacterial Resistance to Clarithromycin in vitro

ABSTRACT: Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of emerging bacterial pathogens that have been identified in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with microbial lung infections. The treatment of NTM infection in CF patients is challenging due to the natural resistance of NTM species to many antibiotics. Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is one of the most common NTM strains found in the airway of CF patients. In our current study, we characterized the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by drug-sensitive M. abscessus untreated or treated with clarithromycin, one of the well-known anti-NTM drugs. Our data show that clarithromycin treatment increases mycobacterial protein trafficking into EVs as well as the secretion of EVs in M. abscessus culture. Additionally, EVs released by clarithromycin-treated M. abscessus increase M. abscessus resistance to clarithromycin when compared to EVs from untreated M. abscessus. EV proteomic analysis further indicates that EVs released by clarithromycin-treated M. abscessus carry an increased level of 50S ribosomal subunits, the target of clarithromycin. Taken together, our results suggest that mycobacterial EVs play an important role in increasing M. abscessus resistance to clarithromycin treatment.

Project description:Bacillus thuringiensis, a well-known and effective bio-insecticide, has attracted considerable attention as a potential biological control agent for the suppression of plant diseases. Treatment of tomato roots with a filter-sterilized cell-free filtrate (CF) of B. thuringiensis systemically suppresses bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum through systemic activation of the plant defense system. Comparative analysis of the expression of the Pathogenesis-Related 1(P6) [PR-1(P6)] gene, a marker for induced resistance to pathogens, in various tissues of tomato plants treated with CF on their roots suggested that the B. thuringiensis-induced defense system was activated in the leaf, stem, and main root tissues, but not in the lateral root tissue. At the same time, the growth of R. solanacearum was significantly suppressed in the CF-treated main root tissue but not in the CF-treated lateral root tissue. This distinct activation of the defense reaction and suppression of R. solanacearum were reflected by the differences in the transcriptional profiles of the main and lateral tissues in response to the CF. In the CF-treated main root tissue, but not CF-treated lateral root tissue, the expression of several salicylic acid (SA)-responsive defense-related genes was specifically induced, whereas jasmonic acid (JA)-related gene expression was either down-regulated or not induced in response to the CF. On the other hand, genes encoding ethylene (ET)-related proteins were induced equally in both the main and lateral root tissues. Taken together, the co-activation of SA-dependent signaling pathway with ET-dependent signaling pathway and suppression of JA-dependent signaling pathway may play key roles in B. thuringiensis-induced resistance to R. solanacearum in tomato plants. Gene expression was measured in main and lateral root tissues of tomato treated with Bacillus thuringiensis or distilled water-treated control at 48 hours after treatment. Two independent experiments were performed at each tissue (main root or lateral root tissue) for each treatment (Bacillus thuringiensis or distilled water control).
