초록

그람음성 간균인 녹농균(Pseudomonas aeruginosa)은 비뇨기, 각막, 호흡기, 화상부위 등에 광범위하게 감염하는 기회감염성 병원균으로, 병원성의 발현에 세균의 세포밀도 인식 기전인 쿼럼 센싱(quorum sensing)이 매우 중요하게 관여한다. 사전 연구에서 녹농균 감염력을 제어하기 위한 방법으로 쿼럼 센싱의 주 신호물질인 N-3-oxododecanoyl-HSL (3OC12-HSL)의 분자 구조가 변형된 물질들을 합성하여 쿼럼 센싱 억제물질로 사용하고자 하였으며, 그 중 두 개의 물질들(5b, 5f)이 대장균을 이용한 스크리닝을 통해 녹농균의주요 쿼럼 센싱 수용체 단백질인 LasR의 활성을 억제할 수있음을 확인하였었다. 본 연구에서는 이 물질들의 효과를 보다 면밀히 분석하기 위하여 실제 녹농균에서 이 물질들이 쿼럼 센싱과 병독성을 억제할 수 있는지 분석해 보았다. 대장균을 이용한 리포터 분석에서와는 달리, 5b와 5f 모두 녹농균에서 직접 처리하였을 때는 LasR의 활성에 영향을 주지못하였다. 대신 이 물질들은 녹농균의 또다른 쿼럼 센싱 수용체 단백질인 QscR의 활성에 선택적으로 영향을 주었다. 흥미롭게도 이 물질들의 효과는 대장균에서 얻어진 결과와는 달랐으며 다소 복잡하였다. 두 물질 모두 낮은 농도 범위(<10 μM)에서 QscR의 활성을 증가시켰으며, 높은 농도의5f(≈1 mM)는 QscR을 강하게 억제하였다. 두 물질 모두 중요한 병독인자인 프로테아제 활성에는 영향을 주지 않으면서도, 만성감염을 매개하는데 중요한 생물막의 형성은 의미있게 감소시켰다. 특히 5f는 생물막의 성숙단계 보다는 녹농균 세포의 초기 부착을 억제하였다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로, 5f의 경우 독성의 증가 없이 생물막 형성을 억제할 수있는 물질로 응용이 가능하다고 제안한다.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes various infections on urinary track, cornea, respiratory track, and burn wound site, and mainly relies on quorum sensing (QS) for its virulence. To control the infectivity of P. aeruginosa, we previously synthesized the structural analogues of a major QS signal, N-3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone (3OC12-HSL) to use as a QS inhibitor. Two of them (5b and 5f) had been confirmed to have an inhibitory effect on LasR, a major QS signal receptor of P. aeruginosa in the screening by the recombinant Escherichia coli reporter. To further evaluate these compounds, we tested their efficacy to control the QS and virulence of P. aeruginosa. Unlike the result from E. coli reporter, both 5b and 5f failed to affect the LasR activity in P. aeruginosa,but instead they selectively affected the activity of QscR, another 3OC12-HSL receptor of P. aeruginosa. Interestingly, their effect on QscR was complex and opposite to what we obtained with E. coli system. Both 5b and 5f enhanced the QscR activity at the low concentration range (< 10 μM), but high concentration of 5f (≈1 mM)strongly inhibited QscR. While 5b and 5f didn’t affect the production of proteases, the key virulence factor,they significantly reduced the biofilm formation that is important in mediating chronic infections. Especially,5f inhibited the initial attachment of P. aeruginosa, rather than the biofilm maturation. Based on our results,we suggest that 5f can be applied for an anti-biofilm agent without increasing virulence of P. aeruginosa.
