Project description:The emergence of drug resistance among tuberculosis (TB) patients is often associated with their non-compliance to the length of the chemotherapy, which can reach up to 2 years for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) TB. Drugs that would kill TB faster and would not lead to the development of drug resistance could shorten chemotherapy significantly. In Escherichia coli, the common mechanism of cell death by bactericidal antibiotics is the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals via the Fenton reaction. Since ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is known to drive the Fenton reaction, we tested whether the Fenton reaction could lead to a bactericidal event in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by treating M. tuberculosis cultures with vitamin C. Here, we report that the addition of vitamin C to drug-susceptible, MDR and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis strains results in sterilization of the cultures in vitro. We show that the sterilizing effect of vitamin C on M. tuberculosis was dependent on the production of high ferrous ion levels and reactive oxygen species. Although, this potent sterilizing activity of vitamin C against M. tuberculosis in vitro was not observed in mice, we believe this activity needs further investigation.

Project description:Multi-drug resistance and latent infection are two major issues in current tuberculosis (TB) control and management. Capreomycin is an important drug used for TB with multi-drug resistance. A recent study also indicates that this drug possesses unique bactericidal activity against non-replicating TB bacilli among known anti-TB drugs. Thus, there is an urgent need for investigating the full-spectrum action of capreomycin. Here we conduct the first microarray-based study on capreomycin using the high-resolution Affymetrix oligonucleotide GeneChip system. The results indicate that capreomycin primarily acts on the information pathways but it also significantly affects cell wall, cell processes, intermediate metabolism and respiration in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study not only transcriptionally validates the specific molecular target, 16S rRNA, but also discovers potential new targets of capreomycin, including genes operating at the DNA level, such as Rv0054 (ssb) and Rv3715c (recR), as well as genes involved in cell division like Rv3260c (whiB2). In addition, the nuo gene cluster and the ATP synthase gene cluster are repressed. Keywords: Drug-induced Differential gene expression analysis

Project description:A cell-based phenotypic screen for inhibitors of biofilm formation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) identified the small molecule TCA1, which has bactericidal activity against both drug susceptible and drug resistant Mtb, and synergizes with rifampicin (RIF) or isoniazid (INH) in sterilization of Mtb in vitro. In addition, TCA1 has bactericidal activity against non-replicating Mtb in vitro and is efficacious in acute and chronic Mtb infection mouse models, both alone and in combination with INH or RIF. Transcriptional analysis revealed that TCA1 down-regulates genes known to be involved in Mtb dormancy and drug tolerance. Mutagenesis and affinity-based methods identified DprE1 and MoeW, enzymes involved in cell wall and molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, respectively, as the targets responsible for TCA1M-bM-^@M-^Ys activity. These in vitro and in vivo results indicate that TCA1functions by a novel mechanism and suggest that it may be the first product of a promising new approach for the development of anti-tuberculosis drugs. Transcriptional profile of TCA1-treated cells relative to DMSO-treated control. Three biological replicates, third is a dye flip.
