Identification of Antimotilins, Novel Inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori Flagellar Motility That Inhibit Stomach Colonization in a Mouse Model
New treatment options against the widespread cancerogenic gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori are urgently needed. We describe a novel screening procedure for inhibitors of H. pylori flagellar biosynthesis. The assay is based on a flaA flagellin gene-luciferase reporter fusion in H. pylori and was...

description | New treatment options against the widespread cancerogenic gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori are urgently needed. We describe a novel screening procedure for inhibitors of H. pylori flagellar biosynthesis. The assay is based on a flaA flagellin gene-luciferase reporter fusion in H. pylori and was amenable to multi-well screening formats with an excellent Z factor. We screened various compound libraries to identify virulence blockers (“antimotilins”) that inhibit H. pylori motility or the flagellar type III secretion apparatus. We identified compounds that either inhibit both motility and the bacterial viability, or the flagellar system only, without negatively affecting bacterial growth. Novel anti-virulence compounds which suppressed flagellar biosynthesis in H. pylori were active on pure H. pylori cultures in vitro and partially suppressed motility directly, reduced flagellin transcript and flagellin protein amounts. We performed a proof-of-principle treatment study in a mouse model of chronic H. pylori infection and demonstrated a significant effect on H. pylori colonization for one antimotilin termed Active2 even as a monotherapy. The diversity of the intestinal microbiota was not significantly affected by Active2. In conclusion, the novel antimotilins active against motility and flagellar assembly bear promise to complement commonly used antibiotic-based combination therapies for treating and eradicating H. pylori infections. |
