摘要:

目的 探讨利奈唑胺(LZD)联用血必净对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)感染引起的小鼠肺炎的协同保护作用及作用机制。 方法 通过气管滴注MRSA菌液构建肺炎小鼠模型。将60只SPF级雄性C57BL/6J小鼠随机分为6组(n=10):对照组、模型组、血必净单药组(13 mL·kg-1·d-1)、LZD单药组(80 mg·kg-1 ·d-1)、血必净+LZD低剂量组(血必净 6.5 mL·kg-1·d-1+LZD 80 mg·kg-1 ·d-1)及血必净+LZD高剂量组(血必净 13 mL·kg-1·d-1+LZD 80 mg·kg-1 ·d-1)。通过体外抑菌实验和溶血活性实验检测血必净和LZD对MRSA的最小抑菌浓度(MIC)及对MRSA生长曲线及溶血活性的影响。通过HE染色观察肺组织病理学改变,ELISA法检测肺匀浆中炎症因子IL-6、TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-18含量。qPCR实验检测MRSA Hla、NLRP3、Caspase-1和ASC的mRNA水平。Western blotting实验分析MRSA Hla、NLRP3、Caspase-1和ASC蛋白表达。免疫组织化学法检测各组小鼠肺组织NLRP3、Caspase-1和ASC蛋白表达量。 结果 LZD联用血必净可提高MRSA肺炎小鼠的生存率,降低MRSA肺炎小鼠的肺组织炎症细胞浸润及肺损伤评分(P<0.01);LZD联用血必净降低MRSA肺炎小鼠肺匀浆的IL-6、TNF-α、IL-1β和IL-18的含量(P<0.05),并抑制小鼠肺组织MRSA Hla、NLRP3、Caspase-1和ASC的mRNA水平和蛋白的表达(P<0.05)。血必净对MRSA无抑菌活性,且对MRSA的增殖无抑制作用,但可在体内外抑制MRSA分泌α-溶血素(Hla),进而通过NLRP3相关通路作用抑制炎症反应,而LZD无此作用。 结论 LZD与血必净联用可增强其改善MRSA肺炎的药效,其机制可能为血必净可通过抑制α-溶血素分泌进而降低NLRP3介导的炎症反应。

Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the synergistic protective effect of linezolid (LZD) combined with Xuebijing Injection (XBJ, a traditional Chinese medicine injection) against pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in mice and explore the underlying mechanism. Methods Fifty C57BL/6J mice with pneumonia induced by tracheal instillation of MRSA were randomized equally into model group, low- and high-dose XBJ treatment groups (13 and 80 mg·kg-1·d-1, respectively), and combined treatment groups with low- and high-dose XBJ (6.5 and 13 mL·kg-1·d-1, respectively) and LZD (80 mg·kg-1 ·d-1), with 10 PBS-treated mice as the normal control group. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of XBJ and LZD against MRSA and their effects on bacterial growth and hemolytic activity were assessed in vitro. After the treatments, lung pathologies of the mice were observed withHE staining, and IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels in lung homogenate were measured using ELISA; the mRNA and protein expressions of Hla, NLRP3, caspase-1, and ASC were detected using qPCR and Western blotting, and pulmonary expressions of NLRP3, caspase-1, and ASC were examined with immunohistochemistry. Results The combined treatment with LZD and XBJ significantly improved survival rates of the mouse models, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and lung injury scores, decreased the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18, and downregulated mRNA and protein expressions of Hla, NLRP3, caspase-1, and ASC. XBJ alone showed no antibacterial activity against MRSA but inhibited α-hemolysin (Hla) secretion both in vitro and in vivo to suppress NLRP3-mediated inflammation, while LZD did not produce this effect. Conclusion LZD combined with XBJ produces enhanced efficacy for improving MRSA pneumonia possibly due to XBJ-induced inhibition of NLRP3-mediated inflammatory response via inhibiting α-hemolysin secretion.
