Repurposing cinacalcet suppresses multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus by disruption of cell membrane and inhibits biofilm by targeting IcaR

ABSTRACT: Multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections continously threaten public health. The rapid escalation in morbidity and mortality rates associated with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) infections necessitates the urgent development of novel antimicrobial agents. Our study reveals that the FDA-approved drug cinacalcet (CNA) effectively functions as an antibacterial and anti-biofilm agent against S. aureus without detectable resistance. It evidently improved survival rate of mice infected with clinical multi-resistant S. aureus in a pneumonia model. Subsequent proteomic and biochemical experiments suggest that the primary antibacterial mechanism involves membrane structure disruption, ATP content reduction, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Concurrently, LiP-SMap combined with biochemical validation indicates that CNA inhibits biofilm formation by targeting IcaR, a negative regulator of icaADBC, thereby enhancing its binding capacity to the ica operator DNA and subsequently suppressing extracellular polysaccharide formation. Importantly, compared to vancomycin, CNA demonstrates stronger biofilm bacterial clearance in a mouse thigh infection model. Collectively, our findings propose that CNA can be repurposed as a potential therapeutic agent for treating multidrug-resistant S. aureus infections and their associated biofilms.

Crizotinib, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors, Create an Antibacterial Active against Gram-positive Bacteria by Targeting the CTP Synthetase PyrG

Project description:Abstract The infection of drug resistant bacteria seriously threats to public health, which makes it more urgent to find novel antibacterial compounds. Compared with traditional development approaches, drug repurposing provides a faster and more effective strategy to find new antimicrobial agents. Here, we screened an FDA-approved small-molecule library upon S. aureus, and identified crizotinib as an antimicrobial agent. We confirmed the antibacterial activities of crizotinib in vitro and in vivo by MIC, growth curve, SEM and mice experiment. At the same time, crizotinib also showed low tendency to develop resistance. Mechanistically, quantitative proteomics, bioinformatics analyses, qRT-PCR and flow cytometry biochemical validation experience confirmed that crizotinib exerted its antibacterial effects by interfering pyrimidine metabolism and disrupting DNA synthesis eventually. Furthermore, our data from drug affinity responsive target stability, bio-layer interferometry and a series of functional assays demonstrated that crizotinib could target PyrG directly in pyrimidine metabolism pathway. Taken together, our results indicated that crizotinib could be a potential antimicrobial agent to treat Gram-positive bacterial infections in the future.

Janus nanoparticles targeting extracellular polymeric substance achieve flexible elimination of drug-resistant biofilms

Project description:Safe and efficient antibacterial materials are urgently needed to combat drug-resistant bacteria and biofilm-associated infections. The rational design of nanoparticles for flexible elimination of biofilms by alternative strategies remains challenging. Herein, we propose the fabrication of Janus-structured nanoparticles targeting extracellular polymeric substance to achieve dispersion or near-infrared (NIR) light-activated photothermal elimination of drug-resistant biofilms, respectively. Asymmetrical Janus-structured dextran-bismuth selenide (Dex-BSe) nanoparticles are fabricated by a facile strategy to exploit synergistic effects of both components. The biocompatible dextran domain with the maximum exposure endows the Janus nanoparticles with biofilm penetration, targeting, and dispersion functions. Interestingly, Janus Dex-BSe nanoparticles realize enhanced dispersal of biofilms over time compared with dextran nanoparticles while the underlying molecular mechanisms are further revealed by RNA-sequencing transcriptomics analysis. Alternatively, taking advantage of the preferential accumulation of nanoparticles at infection sites, the self-propelled active motion induced by the unique Janus structure enhances the photothermal killing effect under NIR light irradiation, thereby eradicating the biofilm. Given these favorable features, the antibiofilm activity of Janus Dex-BSe against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was first validated in vitro. More importantly, the flexible application of Janus Dex-BSe nanoparticles for biofilm removal or NIR-triggered eradication in vivo was demonstrated by MRSA-infected mouse excisional wound model and abscess model, respectively. The currently developed Janus nanoplatform holds great promise for the efficient elimination of drug-resistant biofilms in diverse antibacterial scenarios.

Characterizing the transcriptional adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to stationary phase growth

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is an important human pathogen that causes life-threatening infections, and is resistant to the majority of our antibiotic arsenal. This resistance is complicated by the observation that most antibacterial agents target actively growing cells, thus, proving ineffective against slow growing populations, such as cells within a biofilm or in stationary phase. Recently, our group generated updated genome annotation files for S. aureus that not only include protein-coding genes but also regulatory and small RNAs. As such, these annotation files were used to perform a transcriptomic analysis in order to understand the metabolic and physiological changes that occur during transition from active growth to stationary phase; with a focus on sRNAs. We observed â¼24% of protein-coding and 34% of sRNA genes displaying changes in expression by â¥3-fold. Collectively, this study adds to our understanding of S. aureus adaptation to nutrient-limiting conditions, and sheds new light onto the contribution of sRNAs to this process. Bacterial cells were grown in TSB medium at 37Â°C with shaking for 3h (exponential growth phase) or 16h (stationary growth phase).

Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation by gurmarin, a plant-derived cyclic peptide

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing various infections ranging from superficial skin infections to life-threatening severe diseases, including pneumonia and sepsis. This bacterium is attached to biotic and abiotic surfaces and forms biofilms that are resistant to conventional antimicrobial agents and clearance by host defenses. Infections associated with biofilms may result in longer hospitalizations, a need for surgery, and may even result in death. Agents that inhibit the formation of biofilms and virulence without affecting bacterial growth to avoid the development of drug resistance could be useful for therapeutic purposes. In this regard, we identified and isolated a small cyclic peptide, gurmarin, from a plant source that inhibited the formation of S. aureus biofilm without affecting the growth rate of the bacterium. We determined the gene expression of S. aureus biofilm treated with gurmarin and compared it to the untreated control biofilms. Differentially expressed genes were identified and their roles in the inhibition of S. aureus biofilms by gurmarin were analyzed.

Phenotype and expression profile analysis of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and planktonic cells in response to Licochalcone A

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most important pathogens in humans and animals. The formation of S. aureus biofilm is considered an important mechanism of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, finding effective drugs against the biofilm produced by S. aureus has been a high priority. Licochalcone A, a natural plant product, was reported to have antibacterial activities and showed good activity against all 21 tested strains of S. aureus biofilm and planktonic cells. To detect the possible molecular mechanism of Licochalcone A against S. aureus biofillm or planktonic cells, Affymetrix GeneChips were used to determine the global comparative transcription of S. aureus biofilm and planktonic cells triggered by treatment with sub-bactericidal and sub-inhibitory concentrations of Licochalcone A, respectively.

Adaptiven mechanism of antibiotic resistant Staphylococus aureus to host environment

Project description:Antibiotic-resistant bacteria can escape from the killing of host immune and settle in the host to form persistent infections. In this study, we investigated the environmental adaptation mechanism of resistant Staphyloccus aureus (S. aureus) to host environment by Data-independent acquisition based quantitative proteomics and functional validation. The detection of growth curve and MIC indicated that ciprofloxacin-resistant S. aureus (Cip-R) showed survival advantage over sensitive strain. Cip-R also exhibited stronger adhesion and invasion ability than sensitive bacteria. Cip-R stimulation resulted in the production of stronger inflammatory factors of the host cells. Proteomics study combined with biochemical validations showed that Cip-R obtains adaptability to host via up-regulation of TCA cycle and down-regulation of ribosome metabolism and protein folding to maintain energy to support their survival. Thus, this study will help us to further explain the growth strategy of resistant bacteria to adapt to the host environment, and provide important information for the development of new antibacterial drugs.
