Proteómica de expresión diferencial en Acinetobacter baumanii resistente a colistina

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii, normalmente aislado en suelos y aguas (corrientes o residuales), se ha convertido en importante patógeno nosocomial, siendo agente causal de, entre otras complicaciones, neumonías, septicemias e infecciones del tracto urinario de pacientes comprometidos en unidades hospitalarias de cuidados intensivos. La más reciente de sus capacidades adquiridas es la resistencia a colistina (polimixina E), antibiótico peptídico considerado la última opción terapéutica en contextos clínicos. Esta tesis doctoral emplea la proteómica descriptiva y de expresión diferencial cuantitativa para investigar la resistencia adquirida por A. baumannii a dicho antibiótico. Los resultados han supuesto la identificación de 1.097 proteínas de Acinetobacter mediante el empleo combinado de electroforesis bidimensional convencional (2DE), 2DE diferencial (DIGE) y marcaje peptídico mediante isótopos isobáricos estables (iTRAQ). Los análisis se han realizado en el proteoma expresado por una cepa de referencia sensible a colistina (A. baumannii ATCC 19606), así como en una cepa derivada de ésta en la que se ha inducido, a efectos comparativos, resistencia a colistina in vitro. El fenotipo resistente manifestó reducida adaptabilidad biológica, encontrándose las principales diferencias en la estructura de la membrana externa, en la expresión de transportadores activos de membrana, en diversos enzimas metabólicos (ácidos grasos, citrato, fenilacetato, piruvato, nitrógeno) y de respuesta a condiciones de estrés, así como en la expresión de proteínas participantes en la formación de biopelículas y en el proceso de síntesis y plegamiento de proteínas. Además, el trabajo ha permitido evaluar los puntos fuertes y débiles de las técnicas empleadas actualmente en este tipo de análisis proteómicos.

Normally present in water, soil and waste water, Acinetobacter baumannii has become an important nosocomial pathogen, as causal agent of pneumonias, septicemias and urinary tract infections, among other complications in compromised patients from hospital’s intensive care units. One of its last acquired abilities is the resistance to colistin (polymixin E), the last therapeutic option for its infections. In this thesis, descriptive and quantitative differential expression proteomics is used in the study of acquired colistin resistance. As result of this research, 1,097 proteins belonging to the Acinetobacter genus have been identified by combined application of bidimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE), differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE), and peptide labeling with stable isobaric isotopes tags (iTRAQ). Analyses have been performed on the global expressed proteome of a reference, colistin-sensible strain (A. baumannii ATCC 19606) and, for comparative purposes, on a derived strain on which colistin resistance has been induced in vitro. The resistant phenotype shows reduced fitness, with significant differences in expression found in outer membrane proteins, membrane active transporters, diverse metabolic enzymes (fatty acids, citrate, phenylacetate, piruvate and nitrogen), proteins involved in stress response and biofilm formation, as well as in protein synthesis and folding pathways. The work has allowed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the different techniques currently used in this type of proteomic analysis.
