QseC Inhibitors as an Antivirulence Approach for Gram-Negative Pathogens

Abstract: Invasive pathogens interface with the host and its resident microbiota through interkingdom signaling. The bacterial receptor QseC, which is a membrane-bound histidine sensor kinase, responds to the host stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine and the bacterial signal AI-3, integrating interkingdom signaling at the biochemical level. Importantly, the QseC signaling cascade is exploited by many bacterial pathogens to promote virulence. Here, we translated this basic science information into development o… Show more

“…Based on (i) our observation that QseC functions in AIEC persistence and exacerbated colitis in ex-ASF mice and (ii) work demonstrating that the QseC inhibitor LED209 reduces Enterobacteriaceae pathogen virulence in vivo (21,22), we examined the effects of QseC blockade on host disease status in three experimental colitis models maintained under SPF conditions. This approach would allow us to explore the translational applicability of a QseC-targeted antivirulence strategy for IBD.…”

“…a histidine sensor kinase activated on detection of microbiotagenerated autoinducer-3 (AI-3) or host stress signals, specifically the catecholamines (CAs) norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (EPI) (20). Both NE and EPI induce QseC-mediated virulence in vitro and blocking QseBC signaling with the QseC inhibitor LED209 reduces the in vivo virulence of Gram-negative pathogens, including enterohemorrhagic E. coli and Salmonella enterica Typhimurium (21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Previous surveys of stool from the T-bet −/− Rag2 −/− preclinical colitis model following various treatment interventions revealed microbial features that discriminate between active disease and remission.…”

“…The sensor kinase QseC in Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and F. tularensis is a known protein target/receptor of the small molecule LED209. 10,11 In F. tularensis SchuS4, QseC (FTT_0094c) was found to be a virulence factor and to be a target of LED209, a compound that can rescue mice from tularemia infection. 10,12 This molecule serves as an example of a TCS-targeting small-molecule that could be useful for further development as a new therapeutic; however, LED209 is not FDA approved.…”

“…Another approach has been to find nontraditional therapeutics that target 2CSTS and do not cause cell death but downregulate the expression of virulence factors (13,16,17). For example, inhibition of the 2CSTS QseBC by the small molecule LED209 increased survival in animals infected with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium or Francisella tularensis (18,19). Thus, there is a rationale to expand the repertoire of nontraditional therapeutics that target 2CSTS.…”
