目的研究环丙沙星(CIP)、乳铁蛋白多肽嵌合体(LFchimera)单用及二者联合对铜绿假单胞菌毒力因子生成的影响。方法以铜绿假单胞菌野生菌株PAO1为实验菌株,分为对照组(无任何干预的铜绿假单胞菌野生菌株PAO1),CIP(0.04μg/mL)组,LFchimera(0.25μmol/L)组,LFchimera(1μmol/L)组,CIP(0.04μg/mL)+LFchimera(1μmol/L)组,分别测定毒力因子绿脓菌素的浓度(氯仿萃取法)、弹性蛋白酶(弹性蛋白-刚果红法)、胞外蛋白水解酶(偶氮酪蛋白法)。结果和对照组比较,CIP组,LFchimera(0.25μmol/L)组,LFchimera(1μmol/L)组,CIP(0.04μg/mL)联合LFchimera(1μmol/L)组的绿脓菌素浓度下降,弹性蛋白酶和蛋白水解酶活性降低,差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.05);CIP组和LFchimera(0.25μmol/L)组比较,绿脓菌素浓度、弹性蛋白酶和蛋白水解酶活性的差异均无统计学意义(均P〉0.05);LFchimera(1μmol/L)组绿脓菌素浓度、弹性蛋白酶和蛋白水解酶活性较CIP组和LFchimera(0.25μmol/L)组降低,差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.05);CIP(0.04μg/mL)联合LFchimera(1μmol/L)组和各单独用药组比较,绿脓菌素浓度下降,弹性蛋白酶和蛋白水解酶活性降低,差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.05)。结论亚抑菌浓度的CIP和LFchimera都对铜绿假单胞菌毒力因子(绿脓菌素、弹性蛋白酶和蛋白水解酶)的生成有抑制作用,随着LFchime-ra浓度的提高这种抑制作用加强,而CIP联合LFchimera能进一步增强这种抑制作用,说明两者在抗铜绿假单胞菌毒力因子方面有协同作用。
Objective To investigate the effect of ciprofloxacin(CIP)in combination with lactoferrin-derived peptides chimera(LFchimera)on virulence factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa).Methods The wild type strain of P.aeruginosa-PAO1was used as experimental strain.Five groups were established,including control group(the wild type strain of P.aeruginosa-PAO1without any intervention),CIP group(0.04μg/mL)group,LFchimera(0.25and 1μmol/L) groups,LFchimera(1μmol/L)plus CIP(0.04μg/mL)group.The virulence factors,including pyocyanin,elastase and extracellular proteolytic enzyme,were determined by chloroform extraction method,Elastin-Congo Red method and Azocasein method,respectively.Results The pyocyanin concentration,elastase activity and proteolytic enzyme activity were significantly reduced in the CIP group,0.25μmol/L LFchimera group,1μmol/L LFchimera group and CIP plus LFchimera group compared with those in the control group(P〈0.05).There was no significant difference in the virulence factors between the CIP group and the 0.25μmol/L LFchimera group(P〈0.05).Moreover,the level of the virulence factors was substantially reduced in the CIP plus LFchimera group when compared with 1μmol/L LFchimera group and CIP group(P〉0.05).Conclusion Both CIP and LFchimera at sub-MICs can inhibit the production of virulence factors(such as pyocyanine,elastase and proteolytic enzyme)in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.They have synergistic effect on the resistance of virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
