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.

Project description:Staphylococci are major pathogens in humans and animals and emerging antibiotic-resistant strains have further increased the importance of this health issue. The existence of a genetic basis of host response to bacterial infections has been widely documented but the underlying mechanisms and genes are still largely unknown. Previously, two divergent lines of sheep selected on their milk somatic cell count called high and low SCS lines, have been showed to be respectively more and less susceptible to intra mammary infections (IMI). Transcriptional profiling of milk somatic cells (MSC) of high and low SCS sheep infected successively by S. epidermidis and S. aureus was performed to provide enhanced knowledge about the genetic basis of differential host response to IMI with Staphylococci. Gene expression in MSC of high and low SCS sheep collected 12h post-challenge was performed on a 15K gene ovine oligoarray (Agilent). MSC were mainly neutrophils. The high number of differentially expressed genes between the two bacterial strains indicated, among others, increased number of T-cells in MSC after S. aureus, compared to S. epidermidis challenge. Differential regulation of 366 genes between resistant and susceptible animals was largely associated with immune and inflammatory response (including pathogen recognition TLR2 pathway and cell migration), signal transduction, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Close biological connection between most of differentially expressed genes into Ingenuity Pathway Analysis networks further indicated consistency between the genes that were differentially-expressed between resistant and susceptible animals. Gene profiling in high and low SCS sheep provided strong candidates for biological pathway and gene underlying genetically determined resistance and susceptibility towards Staphylococci infections opening new fields for further investigation.
