Objective To investigate the efficacy of small interfering RNA against Pseudomonos aeruginosa expressing MexA-MexB-OprM multidrug efflux pump in vivo.Methods Two short hairpin (sh)RNA expression vectors targeting the MexB gene,and negative controls,were designed,synthesized,and electrotransformed into the P.aeruginosa strain PAO1.The in vivo therapeutic efficacy of the MexB small interfering (si)RNAs was determined by infecting a murine model of chronic P.aeruginosa lung infection (1 × 107 CFU/ml).The mice were killed on day 3,5 and 7 after infection with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.Results In the murine infection model,treatment with MexB-siRNAs led to significantly reduced bacteria burden of the bellows by day 5 and 7 post-infection,and reduced the P.aeruginosa-induced pathological changes.In addition,MexB-siRNA2 treatment enhanced neutrophil recruitment and production of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β,IL-12) in the early infection stage (day 3) (P<0.05),both of which decreased by day 7.Conclusion MexB-siRNA could inhibit both mRNA expression and the activity of P.aeruginosa in vitro.siRNA was effective in reducing the bacterial load in a murine model of chronic lung infection.Targeting of MexB with siRNA appears to be a novel strategy for treating P.aeruginosa infections.

In order to investigate the role of the MexA-MexB-OprM efflux pump system in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA)-induced pulmonary infection, pulmonary infection models were established by intratracheal injection of K767 (wild type), nalB (MexA-MexB-OprM up-regulated mutant), and ΔmexB (knockout) strains, separately. All mice were treated with Meropenem (intraper Δ itoneal injection, 100 mg/kg body weight, twice every day), and strain-related pathology, bacteria count, cytokine level, myeloperoxidase (MPO, indicator of neutrophil recruitment) activity, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) expression were evaluated at early (3rd day post-infection) and late (7th and 14th day post-infection) stages of infection. E-test showed that ΔmexB was more significantly Δ sensitive to panipenan (ETP), meropenem (MP) and imipenem (IP) than K767 and nalB strains. There was no significant difference in sensitivity to cefepime (TM) among the three stains. In contrast to the K767 and nalB groups, the ΔmexB group showed decreased bacteria burden over time and less exte Δ nsive pathological change. Additionally, MPO activity and levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1b, IL-12, and TNF-α) were increased at the early stage (day 3) and decreased at the later stage (day 14). Serum MIP-2 expression level was steadily increased in all three groups from early to late stages, but significantly higher in ΔmexB group than in K767 and nalB groups ( Δ P<0.05). In conclusion, the MexA-MexB-OprM efflux pump system might play an important role in PA-induced chronic pulmonary infection. High expression of the MexA-MexB-OprM efflux pump could increase antibacterial resistance and promote infection.
