Metabolic modeling of antibiotic and cytotoxic effects of the isoquinoline IQ-238 in S. aureus, S. epidermidis and human cells

ABSTRACT: Isoquinolines (IQs) are natural substances with antibiotic potential. IQ-238 is a synthetic analog of the novel-type N,C-coupled naphtylisoquinoline (NIQ) alkaloid ancisheynine. Gene expression data, cytotoxicity measurements and metabolic modelling is combined to assess the effects of the N,C-coupled naphtylisoquinoline (NIQ) compound IQ-238 on Staphylococcus aureus and man as a potential lead for novel antibiotics. It possesses a high activity against staphylococci but has low cytotoxicity in human cell lines. Genome annotation identified missed enzymes (validated by PCR) in the primary (e.g. nucleotide) metabolism of staphylococci. Gene expression changed after cultivation with IQ-238. Metabolic modelling did yield the adaptations of all central enzymes, including those not affected by significant gene expression changes. The data show that IQ-238 interferes with the carbohydrate metabolism in staphylococci. The data suggest that IQ-238 is a promising lead for antibiotic therapy against S. aureus infections.

Isoquinolines (IQs) are natural substances with an antibiotic potential we aim to optimize. Specifically, IQ-238 is a synthetic analog of the novel-type N,C-coupled naphthylisoquinoline (NIQ) alkaloid ancisheynine. Recently, we developed and tested other IQs such as IQ-143. By utilizing genome-wide gene expression data, metabolic network modelling and Voronoi tessalation based data analysis - as well as cytotoxicity measurements, chemical properties calculations and principal component analysis ...[more]

Project description:Objectives: Development of daptomycin resistance (DAPR) in Staphylococcus aureus is associated with clinical treatment failures. Mechanism(s) of such resistance has not been clearly defined. Methods: We studied an isogenic daptomycin-susceptible (DAPS) and daptomycin-resistant (DAPR) S. aureus strain pair (616; 701) from a patient with relapsing endocarditis during daptomycin treatment, using comparative transcriptomic and proteomic techniques. Results. Minor differences in genome content were found between strains by DNA hybridization. Transcriptomic analyses identified a number of genes differentially expressed in important functional categories: cell division, metabolism of bacterial envelopes and global regulation. Of note, the DAPR isolate exhibited reduced expression of the major cell wall autolysis gene coincident with upregulation of genes involved in wall teichoic acid production. Using quantitative (q)RT-PCR on gene cadre putatively involved in cationic peptide resistance, we formulated a putative regulatory network compatible with microarray data-sets, mainly implicating bacterial envelopes. Of interest, qRT-PCR of this same gene cadre from two distinct isogenic DAPS/DAPR clinical strain pairs revealed evidence of other strain dependent networks operative in the DAPR phenotype. Comparative proteomics of 616 vs 701 revealed differential abundance of proteins in various functional categories including: cell-wall associated targets and biofilm-formation proteins. Phenotypically, strains 616 and 701 showed major differences in ability to develop bacterial biofilms in presence of the antibacterial lipid, oleic acid. Conclusions: Compatible with previous in vitro observations, in vivo acquired DAPR in S. aureus is a complex, multistep phenomenon allowing for: i) strain dependent phenotypes; ii) transcriptome adaptation; and iii) modification of lipid and protein content of cellular envelopes.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus thymidine-dependent small-colony variants (TD-SCVs) are frequently isolated from patients with chronic S. aureus infections after long-term treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX). In TD-SCVs, mutations of thymidylate synthase (thyA, TS), essential for DNA synthesis, occur. However, it has never been shown, that TMP-SMX is responsible for the induction and selection of TD-SCVs. Short-term exposure of TMP-SMX induced the TD-SCV phenotype morphologically as shown in transmission electron-microscopy and on the transcriptional level by qRT-PCR in wild-type S. aureus, while selection of TD-SCVs with thyA mutations occurred only rarely after long-term exposure. In reversion experiments with clinical TD-SCVs, all revertants revealed compensating mutations at the initially identified mutation site. Whole DNA microarray analysis of a thyA deletion mutant (M-bM-^HM-^FthyA), which exhibited the typical TD-SCV phenotype, identified tremendous alterations compared to the wild-type. Important virulence regulators such as agr, arlRS, sarA and major virulence determinants including hla, hlb, sspA, sspB and geh were down-regulated, while genes associated with the colonization capacity like fnbA, fnbB, spa, clfB, sdrC and sdrD were up-regulated. The expression of genes involved in pyrimidine and purine metabolism as well as in nucleotide interconversion changed significantly. The M-bM-^HM-^FthyA-mutant was attenuated in virulence in both, a Caenorhabditis elegans killing model and an acute murine pneumonia model. Furthermore, competition experiments in vitro and in vivo (using a chronic pneumonia mouse model) revealed a survival and growth advantage of the M-bM-^HM-^FthyA-mutant under low thymidine conditions and TMP-SMX exposure. In conclusion, our results clearly show for the first time that TMP-SMX induces the TD-SCV phenotype after short-term exposure in S. aureus and that long-term exposure selects thyA mutations providing an advantage for TD-SCVs under specified conditions. Thus, our results help to understand the dynamic processes of induction and selection of S. aureus TD-SCVs during TMP-SMX exposure. 18 independent samples were analysed; for each isolate and time point 3 replicates were performed
