Antimicrobial peptides from amphibian skin secretion are a promising source for the development of alternative antibiotics against the urgent antibiotic resistance. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has been found to persist in both early and late disease course of cystic fibrosis (CF). Japonicin-2LF was isolated from the skin secretion of Fujian Large-headed Frog (Limnonectes fujianensis) via the combination of cDNA cloning and MS/MS sequencing. The antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activities of Japonicin-2LF were evaluated using both reference and clinic isolated strains. The permeability of the cell membrane treated by the peptide was revealed by fluorescent staining. The cytotoxicity was examined by haemolysis, MTT and LDH assays. Wax moth larvae (Galleria mellonella) infection model was applied to assess the efficacy of Japonicin-2LF against the reference and clinic MRSA isolates in vivo. Japonicin-2LF exhibited potent antimicrobial activity, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA, killing the bacteria via membrane permeabilisation. Additionally, Japonicin-2LF demonstrated the inhibition and eradication of biofilms, particularly against the biofilm of MRSA by eradicating the biofilm matrix as well as killing all the sessile bacteria. In the in vivo assay, Japonicin-2LF significantly decreased the mortality of MRSA acute infected larvae. In conclusion, it is a novel antimicrobial peptide discovered from the skin secretion of Limnonectes fujianensis, and particularly effective against both planktonic and sessile MRSA. The further in vivo study suggests that Japonicin-2LF could be a potential drug candidate to control the MRSA infection in cystic fibrosis patients.
抗菌肽来源于两栖动物皮肤分泌物,是开发替代抗生素的有前途的来源,可对抗日益严重的抗生素耐药性。耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)已被发现存在于囊性纤维化(CF)的早期和晚期病程中。Japonicin-2LF 是通过 cDNA 克隆和 MS/MS 测序的组合从福建大头蛙(Limnonectes fujianensis)的皮肤分泌物中分离出来的。通过参考和临床分离株评估了 Japonicin-2LF 的抗菌和抗生物膜活性。通过荧光染色揭示了肽处理后细胞膜的通透性。通过溶血、MTT 和 LDH 测定法检查细胞毒性。应用黄粉虫幼虫(Galleria mellonella)感染模型来评估 Japonicin-2LF 对参考和临床 MRSA 分离株的体内疗效。Japonicin-2LF 表现出强大的抗菌活性,特别是对革兰氏阳性菌金黄色葡萄球菌和 MRSA 具有抗菌活性,通过破坏细胞膜来杀死细菌。此外,Japonicin-2LF 表现出抑制和根除生物膜的作用,特别是通过根除生物膜基质并杀死所有固着细菌来抑制 MRSA 的生物膜。在体内试验中,Japonicin-2LF 显著降低了 MRSA 急性感染幼虫的死亡率。总之,它是从 Limnonectes fujianensis 皮肤分泌物中发现的一种新型抗菌肽,对浮游和固着的 MRSA 均具有特别有效的作用。进一步的体内研究表明,Japonicin-2LF 可能是控制囊性纤维化患者 MRSA 感染的潜在药物候选物。
