摘要


Novel therapies to counteract multidrug-resistant gonorrhea are urgently needed. A unique gonococcal immune evasion strategy involves capping of lipooligosaccharide (LOS) with sialic acid by gonococcal sialyltransferase (Lst), utilizing host-derived CMP-sialic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac in humans). LOS sialylation renders gonococci resistant to complement and cationic peptides, and down-regulates the inflammatory response by engaging siglecs. CMP-sialic acid analogs (CMP-nonulosonates [CMP-NulOs]) such as CMP-Leg5,7Ac2 and CMP-Kdn are also utilized by Lst. Incorporation of these NulO analogs into LOS maintains gonococci susceptible to complement. Intravaginal administration of CMP-Kdn or CMP-Leg5,7Ac2 attenuates gonococcal colonization of mouse vaginas. Here, we identify a key mechanism of action for the efficacy of CMP-NulOs. Surprisingly, CMP-NulOs remained effective in complement C1q-/- and C3-/- mice. LOS Neu5Ac, but not Leg5,7Ac2 or Kdn, conferred resistance to the cathelicidins LL-37 (human) and mouse cathelicidin-related antimicrobial peptide in vitro. CMP-NulOs were ineffective in Camp-/- mice, revealing that cathelicidins largely mediate the efficacy of therapeutic CMP-NulOs. © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of the National Research Council of Canada, 2020.
