Abstract

Quorum sensing (QS) is the cell density dependent communication network which coordinates the production of pathogenic determinants in majority of pathogenic bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes hospital-acquired infections by virtue of its well-defined QS network. As the QS regulatory network in P. aeruginosa regulates the virulence determinants and antibiotic resistance, attenuating the QS system seems to be influential in developing next-generation anti-infective agents. In the current study, the QS attenuation potential of a flavonoid, mosloflavone was investigated against P. aeruginosa virulence and biofilm formation. Mosloflavone inhibited the pyocyanin production, LasB elastase and chitinase by 59.52 ± 2.74, 35.90 ± 4.34 and 61.18 ± 5.52% respectively. The QS regulated biofilm formation and development was also reduced when supplemented with sub-MIC of mosloflavone. The gene expression studies of mosloflavone using RT-PCR depicted its ability to down-regulate the expression levels of QS regulated virulence genes such as lasI (60.64%), lasR (91.70%), rhlI (57.30%), chiC (90.20%), rhlA (47.87%), rhlR (21.55%), lasB (37.80%), phzM (42.40%), toxA (61.00%), aprA (58.4%), exoS (78.01%), algD (46.60%) and pelA (50.45%). The down-regulation of QS virulence phenotypes by mosloflavone could be attributed to its binding affinity with the QS regulatory proteins, LasR and RhlR by competitively inhibiting the binding of natural autoinducers as evidenced from simulation studies. Mosloflavone also exhibited promising potential in controlling bacterial infection in Caenorhabditis elegans model system, in vivo. The anti-biofilm and anti-QS potential of mosloflavone in the current study illustrated the candidature of mosloflavone as a promising biocide.

摘要

群体感应 (QS) 是一种细胞密度依赖的通讯网络,它协调大多数致病菌中致病性决定因素的产生。铜绿假单胞菌凭借其定义明确的 QS 网络引起医院获得性感染。由于 P. aeruginosa 的 QS 调节网络调节毒力决定因素和抗生素耐药性,因此减弱 QS 系统似乎对开发下一代抗感染药物有影响。在当前的研究中,一种类黄酮,莫洛黄酮对铜绿假单胞菌毒力和生物膜形成的 QS 衰减潜力进行了研究。莫洛黄酮抑制了 59.52±2.74%、35.90±4.34%和 61.18±5.52%的绿脓菌素、LasB 弹性酶和几丁质酶的产生。当补充亚 MIC 的莫洛黄酮时,QS 调节的生物膜形成和发育也减少了。使用 RT-PCR 的莫洛黄酮基因表达研究表明,它能够下调 QS 调节的毒力基因的表达水平,如 lasI(60.64%)、lasR(91.70%)、rhlI(57.30%)、chiC(90.20%)、rhlA(47.87%)、rhlR(21.55%)、lasB(37.80%)、phzM(42.40%)、toxA(61.00%)、aprA(58.4%)、exoS(78.01%)、algD(46.60%)和 pelA(50.45%)。莫洛黄酮通过竞争性抑制天然自体诱导物的结合来抑制 QS 调节蛋白 LasR 和 RhlR 的结合,从而降低 QS 毒力表型,这可以归因于其结合亲和力,这一点从模拟研究中得到了证明。莫洛黄酮在秀丽隐杆线虫模型系统中的体内实验中也显示出了控制细菌感染的良好潜力。莫洛黄酮在本研究中的抗生物膜和抗 QS 潜力表明莫洛黄酮具有成为有前途的杀菌剂的候选资格。
