Zusammenfassung:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by chronic bacterial infections and heightened inflammation. Widespread ineffective antibiotic use has led to increased isolation of drug resistant bacterial strains from respiratory samples. (R)-roscovitine (Seliciclib) is a unique drug that has many benefits in CF studies. We sought to determine roscovitine’s impact on macrophage function and killing of multi-drug resistant bacteria. Human blood monocytes were isolated from CF (F508del/F508del) and non-CF persons and derived into macrophages (MDMs). MDMs were infected with CF clinical isolates of B. cenocepacia and P. aeruginosa. MDMs were treated with (R)-roscovitine or its main hepatic metabolite (M3). Macrophage responses to infection and subsequent treatment were determined. (R)-roscovitine and M3 significantly increased killing of B. cenocepacia and P. aeruginosa in CF MDMs in a dose-dependent manner. (R)-roscovitine-mediated effects were partially dependent on CFTR and the TRPC6 channel. (R)-roscovitine-mediated killing of B. cenocepacia was enhanced by combination with the CFTR modulator tezacaftor/ivacaftor and/or the alternative CFTR modulator cysteamine. (R)-roscovitine also increased MDM CFTR function compared to tezacaftor/ivacaftor treatment alone. (R)-roscovitine increases CF macrophage-mediated killing of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. (R)-roscovitine also enhances other macrophage functions including CFTR-mediated ion efflux. Effects of (R)-roscovitine are greatest when combined with CFTR modulators or cysteamine, justifying further clinical testing of (R)-roscovitine or optimized derivatives.
