WS08.05Multi-omics insights into Pseudomonas aeruginosa’s adaptation to elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor therapy
Objectives
Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) offers significant clinical benefits for eligible people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), though treatment effectiveness varies, potentially due to factors like individual lung microbiological profiles. We aim to investigate Pa response to ETI by integrating phenotypic, transcriptomic, and genomic data to identify adaptive traits and understand variability in treatment outcomes.
Methods
Clonally-related Pa isolates were collected from 3 pwCF before and up to 18 months after starting ETI treatment. Phenotypic traits linked to acute/intermittent infection and chronic colonization were analyzed. Isolates underwent a 6-hour in vitro exposure to ETI or DMSO in artificial sputum medium, simulating the conditions in CF sputum. Bacterial RNA was sequenced, transcripts were quantified, and differential expression (DEA) and pathways enrichment analysis were carried out.
Results
Phenotypic analysis showed strain-dependent adaptation, mainly affecting pyocyanin production and biofilm formation. DEA of longitudinal isolates revealed a small overlap in modulated transcripts across clonal lineages (upregulated=0.3%, downregulated=0.07%), indicating a strain-specific transcriptional response to in vivo ETI exposure. Shared modulated transcripts were linked to secretion systems, beta-lactam resistance, ABC transporters, and metabolic pathways. In vitro ETI treatment caused no consistent transcript modulation across isolates, but 0.6–3.7% of transcripts modulated in vitro were also affected in vivo, suggesting a direct ETI impact. Eight additional pwCF have been recruited, and whole genome sequencing is ongoing to explore pathoadaptive mutations.
Conclusion
Our findings indicate that exposure to ETI treatment can modify specific Pa phenotypic traits and transcriptomes in a pwCF-specific manner, providing insights into variability in treatment efficacy. This study was supported by the Italian CF Foundation (FFC#16/2021).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cystic Fibrosis is the official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society. The journal is devoted to promoting the research and treatment of cystic fibrosis. To this end the journal publishes original scientific articles, editorials, case reports, short communications and other information relevant to cystic fibrosis. The journal also publishes news and articles concerning the activities and policies of the ECFS as well as those of other societies related the ECFS.
