摘要:

目的: 探讨Rv2048c基因敲除对结核分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium tuberculosis, MTB)药物敏感性的影响。方法: 本研究以MTB标准菌株(H37Rv-WT)为模版,基于同源重组原理构建Rv2048c基因敲除株(H37RvΔRv2048c)。通过固体培养、抗酸染色、扫描电镜观察菌落形态、菌体大小、细胞壁完整性;绘制生长曲线评估生长速度;采用微孔板法药物敏感性试验测定最低抑菌浓度(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC);利用溴化乙锭染色法检测细胞壁通透性。比较H37Rv-WT与H37RvΔRv2048c在生物学特性、抗结核药物敏感性及细胞壁通透性方面的差异,进而分析Rv2048c基因对MTB药物敏感性的作用及其潜在机制。结果: 成功构建了H37RvΔRv2048c;菌落形态由H37Rv-WT的粗糙型(R型)转变为H37RvΔRv2048c的光滑型(S型);两种菌体均呈棒状结构,细胞壁基本一致,H37RvΔRv2048c菌体长度变短;乙硫异烟胺(ethionamide, Eto)对H37RvΔRv2048c的MIC(1.25μg/ml)为Eto对H37Rv-WT的MIC(5.00μg/ml)的1/4;阿米卡星(amikacin, Am)对H37RvΔRv2048c的MIC(0.25μg/ml)为Am对H37Rv-WT的MIC(1.00μg/ml)的1/4;溴化乙锭染色后H37RvΔRv2048c的荧光强度(1.526RFU)较H37Rv-WT(0.924RFU)显著增高(t=16.960,P<0.001)。结论: Rv2048c基因的缺失可降低Eto和Am的MIC,该基因可能通过调控MTB细胞壁通透性影响MTB对Eto和Am的敏感性,为理解MTB耐药机制提供了新视角,并为增强Eto与Am疗效的研究提供了潜在靶点。

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the effect of Rv2048c gene knockout on the drug susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Methods: In this study, the MTB standard strain (H37Rv-WT) was used as a template to construct the Rv2048c gene knockout strain (H37RvΔRv2048c) via homologous recombination principle. Colony morphology, cell size, and cell wall integrity were evaluated through solid culture, acid-fast staining, and scanning electron microscopy. A growth curve was plotted to evaluate the growth rate. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using the microplate method for drug susceptibility testing. Cell wall permeability was assessed using ethidium bromide staining. The biological characteristics, anti-tuberculosis drug susceptibility, and cell wall permeability of H37Rv-WT and H37RvΔRv2048c were systematically compared. Subsequently, the influence of the Rv2048c gene on MTB drug susceptibility and its potential mechanism were analyzed. Results: H37RvΔRv2048c was successfully constructed. Colony morphology transitioned from the rough type (R type) in H37RV-WT to the smooth type (S type) in H37RvΔRv2048c. Both strains exhibited rod-like structures with comparable cell wall compositions; however, the bacterial length of H37RvΔRv2048c was significantly shorter. The MIC of ethionamide (Eto) against H37RvΔRv2048c (1.25 μg/ml) was 1/4 of the MIC of Eto against H37Rv-WT (5.00 μg/ml); the MIC of amikacin (Am) against H37RvΔRv2048c (0.25 μg/ml) was 1/4 of the MIC of Am against H37Rv-WT (1.00 μg/ml). After ethidium bromide staining, the fluorescence intensity of H37RvΔRv2048c (1.526 RFU) was significantly higher than that of H37Rv-WT (0.924 RFU)(t=16.960, P<0.001). Conclusion: Deletion of the Rv2048c gene results in reduced MIC values for Eto and Am. This gene may modulate MTB susceptibility to Eto and Am by altering cell wall permeability. This study provides new insights into MTB drug resistance mechanisms and identifies potential targets for enhancing the effectiveness of Eto and Am.
