Project description:Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging pathogens with high intrinsic drug resistance. Among rapidly growing NTM species, Mycobacterium abscessus is among the most pathogenic. Standard of care therapy has led to unacceptable outcomes and demonstrates the urgent need to develop effective, broad-spectrum antimycobacterial regimens. Through synthetic modification of spectinomycin (SPC), an aminocyclitol antibiotic, we have identified a distinct structural subclass of ethylene linked aminomethyl spectinomycins (eAmSPC) that are up to 64-fold more potent against M. abscessus when compared to SPC. Lead eAmSPC retain activity against other NTM species and multi-drug resistant M. abscessus clinical isolates. Sequencing of eAmSPC-resistant mutants revealed nucleotide changes in the distinct helix-34 spectinomycin binding site and X-ray crystallography further demonstrated the derivatives mode of ribosomal inhibition remained on target. The eAmSPC displayed increased intracellular accumulation compared to SPC and transcriptional profiling indicate that eAmSPC’s induce whiB7 resistance responses, however, the series maintains potency despite its expression. These leads display favorable pharmacokinetic profiles and robust efficacy in M. abscessus mouse infection models. The results of these studies suggest that eAmSPCs have the potential to be developed into clinical treatments for M. abscessus and other NTM infections.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is still a major global health challenge, killing over 1.5 million people each year, and hence, there is a need to identify and develop novel treatments for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). The prevalence of infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is also increasing and has overtaken TB cases in the United States and much of the developed world. Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is one of the most frequently encountered NTM and is difficult to treat. We describe the use of drug-disease association using a semantic knowledge graph approach combined with machine learning models that has enabled the identification of several molecules for testing anti-mycobacterial activity. We established that niclosamide (M. tuberculosis IC90 2.95 μM; M. abscessus IC90 59.1 μM) and tribromsalan (M. tuberculosis IC90 76.92 μM; M. abscessus IC90 147.4 μM) inhibit M. tuberculosis and M. abscessus in vitro. To investigate the mode of action, we determined the transcriptional response of M. tuberculosis and M. abscessus to both compounds in axenic log phase, demonstrating a broad effect on gene expression that differed from known M. tuberculosis inhibitors. Both compounds elicited transcriptional responses indicative of respiratory pathway stress and the dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism. Further testing against drug-resistant isolates and other NTM is warranted to clarify the usefulness of these repurposed drugs for mycobacteria.

Project description:Mycobacterium abscessus is nowadays under the spotlight of the scientific community. This pathogenic mycobacteria is indeed responsible for a wide spectrum of infections involving mostly pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. M. abscessus is intrinsically resistant to a broad range of antibiotics, including most antitubercular drugs, and is considered the most pathogenic and chemotherapy-resistant rapidly growing mycobacterium. Consequently, with very limited treatment options, the development of new therapeutic approaches to fight this pathogen are urgently needed. In this context, 19 oxadiazolone (OX) derivatives have been investigated for their antibacterial activity against both the rough (R) and smooth (S) variants of M. abscessus. Several OXs were active against extracellular M. abscessus growth with moderated minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC), or intracellularly by inhibiting M. abscessus growth inside infected macrophages with MIC values similar to those of imipenem. Such promising results prompted us to identify the potential target enzymes of the sole extra and intracellular inhibitor of M. abscessus growth, i.e., iBpPPOX via activity-based protein profiling combined with mass spectrometry. This approach led to the identification of 21 potential protein candidates being mostly involved in M. abscessus lipid metabolism and/or in cell wall biosynthesis.

Project description:Mycobacterium abscessus [M. abscessus (sensu lato) or M. abscessus group] comprises three closely related taxa with taxonomic status under revision: M. abscessus sensu stricto, M. bolletii and M. massiliense. We describe here a simple, robust and cost effective PCR-based method for distinguishing among M. abscessus, M. massiliense and bolletii. Based on the M. abscessus ATCC 19977T genome, discriminatory regions were identified between M. abscessus and M. massiliense from array-based comparative genomic hybridization. A typing scheme using PCR primers designed for four of these locations was applied to 46 well-characterized clinical isolates comprising 29 M. abscessus, 15 M. massiliense and 2 M. bolletii previously identified by multi-target sequencing. Interestingly, 2 isolates unequivocally identified as M. massiliense were shown to have a full length erm(41) instead of the expected gene deletion and showed inducible clarithromycin resistance after 14 days. We propose using this PCR-based typing scheme combined with erm(41) PCR for a straightforward identification of M. abscessus, M. massiliense and M. bolletii and assessment of inducible clarithromycin resistance. This method can be easily implemented into a routine workflow providing subspecies level identification within 24 hours of isolation of M. abscessus group. Two-color CGH with 4 independent Mycobacterium clinical isolates and the M massiliense type strain (CCUG 48898) labeled with Cy3 were cohybridized with the M abscessus type strain (ATCC 19977) labeled with Cy5 on a tiling array designed against the M abscessus type strain

Project description:Human macrophages are a natural host of many mycobacterium species, including Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus), an emerging pathogen affecting patients with lung diseases and immunocompromised individuals. There are few available treatments and the search for effective antibiotics against M. abscessus has been hindered by the lack of a tractable in vitro intracellular model of infection. Here, we established a reliable model for M. abscessus infection using human pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages (hPSC-macrophages). hPSC differentiation permitted a reproducible generation of functional human macrophages that were highly susceptible to M. abscessus infection. Electron microscopy demonstrated that M. abscessus was present in the vacuoles of hPSC-macrophages. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed a time dependent host cell response to M. abscessus, with differing gene and protein expression patterns observed at 3-hours, 24-hours and 48-hours post-infection. Culture of engineered tdTOMATO-expressing hPSC-macrophages with GFP-expressing M. abscessus enabled rapid and image-based high-throughput analysis of intracellular infection and quantitative assessment of antibiotic resistance and efficacy. Our study describes the first hPSC-based model for M. abscessus infection, which represents a novel platform for studying M. abscessus-host interaction and an accessible tool for drug discovery.

Project description:Mycobacterium abscessus is nowadays under the spotlight of the scientific community. This pathogenic mycobacteria is indeed responsible for a wide spectrum of infections involving mostly pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. M. abscessus is intrinsically resistant to a broad range of antibiotics, including most antitubercular drugs, and is considered the most pathogenic and chemotherapy-resistant rapidly growing mycobacterium. Consequently, with very limited treatment options, the development of new therapeutic approaches to fight this pathogen are urgently needed. 38 new analogs of Cyclipostins & Cyclophostin (CyC), compounds naturally produced by Streptomyces species, have been synthesized. Their antibacterial activities against clinical isolates belonging to the M. chelonae-abscessus clade, as well as Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria have been evaluated by the REMA method. The intracellular activities of the CyC against intramacrophagic M. abscessus have also been investigated and compared to those of imipenem. The CyCs displayed very low toxicity towards host cells and their inhibitory activity was exclusively restricted to mycobacteria. The best candidate, CyC17, showed a high selectivity for mycobacteria with MIC values (<2 up to 40 µg/mL) comparable to those of most classical antibiotics used to treat M. abscessus infections. Of importance, several CyCs were active against extracellular M. abscessus growth (i.e., CyC17 / CyC18β / CyC25 / CyC26) or against intracellular mycobacteria inside macrophages (i.e., CyC7α,β / CyC8α,β) with MIC values similar to or better than those of standard antibiotics. Based on these results, we intended to identify the potential target enzymes of CyC17/CyC26 in M. abscessus by activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) approach coupled with mass spectrometry differential analysis.
