    Adhesion Ability of Adherent-Invasive E. coli to Intestinal Epithelial Cells in Presence of Monovalent Compounds: Pre-, Co- and Post-Incubation Experiments.

    Bacterial Strain and Cell Line

    [1256] E. coli strain LF82 was isolated from a chronic ileal lesion of a patient with Crohn's disease (CD). Bacteria were grown routinely in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth overnight at 37 C. Intestinal epithelial cells T84 derived from colonic adenocarcinoma were maintained in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2 at 37 C. in DMEM/F12 (50/50) medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS), 1% L-glutamine, 100 000 U.1.sup.1 penicillin, 100 mg.1.sup.1 streptomycin, 25 g.1.sup.1 amphotericin B.

    Adhesion Ability of Adherent-Invasive E. coli to Intestinal Epithelial Cells in Presence of Monovalent Compounds.

    [1257] T84 were seeded in 48-well plates at a concentration of 1.510.sup.5 cells per well and grown for 48 h. AIEC LF82 bacteria were incubated 1 h with monovalent compounds prior the cell infection (pre-incubation protocol) or they were added simultaneously onto the cells (co-incubation protocol) in complete medium without antibiotics, containing heat inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS). Monovalent compound 10 was tested at a dose of 100; 10; 1 (and 0.1) M, compound 5 was tested at a dose of 500; 100; 10 and 1 M and D-mannose was tested at a dose of 10 000; 1 000; 100 or 10 M. Cells were infected with AIEC LF82 bacteria at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10 bacteria per cell for 3 h at 37 C.

    [1258] For the post-incubation protocol, monovalent compounds (same doses than in the pre- and co-incubation assays) were incubated with cells for 3 h after bacterial infection. A washing step was realized before this post-incubation to eliminate non-adherent bacteria.

    [1259] Monolayers were washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.2) and cells were then lysed with 1% Triton X-100 in deionized water. Samples were diluted and plated onto Luria Bertani agar plates to determine the number of colony-forming units (CFU) recovered from the lysed monolayers. Results were expressed as percentages of residual adhesion, considering adhesion level of AIEC LF82 without mannosides treatment as 100%.

    Results

    [1260] D-mannose, compounds 5 and 10 were assessed as putative inhibitors to compete the interaction of CEACAM6 expressed by T84 intestinal epithelial cells with the adhesin FimH of AIEC bacteria following three different protocols: pre-, co-and post-incubation experiments (FIG. 1).

    [1261] For co-incubation experiments, results clearly indicated that monovalent compound 10 possessed the best inhibitory effect, with a 50-fold increased potency in comparison with the compound 5 and a 100-fold increased potency in comparison with D-Mannose. Significant decreases in the bacterial adhesion levels were obtained at 10 M for compound 10, at 500 M for compound 5 and at 1 000 M for D-Mannose. Using the pre-incubation protocol, D-mannose showed a significant inhibitory effect on the bacterial adhesion at 100 M, whereas similar results than those observed with the co-incubation protocol were obtained for compounds 5 and 10. Finally, in post-incubation experiments, D-mannose decreased adhesion at a high dose of 10 mM, compound 5 was not able to decrease bacterial adhesion even at 500 M, and compound 10 showed a significant inhibitory effect at 100 M. These data indicated that monovalent compound 10 is a good inhibitor to detach bacteria adhering to intestinal epithelial cells at a dose of 100 M.

    [1263] The transgenic mouse model CEABAC10 expressing the human CEACAM6 protein is available in the UMR Inserm/Universit d'Auvergne 1071 led by Professor Arlette Darfeuille-Michaud at Clermont-Ferrand. This model is particularly suitable to mimic the abnormal colonization of gut mucosa by AIEC bacteria through the interaction of CEACAM6 abnormally expressed in the ileal mucosa of Crohn's disease and FimH adhesin of AIEC.

    Adhesion Assays of Adherent-Invasive E. coli Strains to Colonic Loops from CEABAC10 Mice in Presence of Monovalent Compounds.

    [1264] Three colonic loops were performed in anesthetized CEABAC10 mice. A volume of 100 l of a bacterial suspension containing 2.510.sup.7 bacteria/mL in the presence or absence of monovalent compounds was injected into the loops (here, compound 10 at a concentration of 100 M). After an incubation period of 4 h, mice were euthanized and each loop was longitudinally opened, extensively washed in phosphate buffer and homogenized to numerate adherent LF82 bacteria. Bacterial adhesion levels were expressed as colony forming units (CFU) per gram of colonic tissue in the FIG. 2 (100% corresponds to the LF82 adhesion in absence of any compound).

    Results

    [1265] A-two fold decrease in the number of LF82 bacteria adhering to colonic mucosa was observed in the presence of the monovalent compound 10 at a concentration of 100 M (FIG. 2).

    Bacterial Strain and Transgenic Mouse Model

    [1266] E. coli strain LF82 was isolated from a chronic ileal lesion of a patient with Crohn's disease (CD). Bacteria were grown routinely in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth overnight at 37 C. The transgenic mouse model CEABAC10 expressing the human CEACAM6 protein is available in the UMR Inserm/Universit d'Auvergne 1071 led by Professor Arlette Darfeuille-Michaud at Clermont-Ferrand. This model is particularly suitable to mimic the abnormal colonization of gut mucosa by AIEC bacteria through the interaction of CEACAM6 abnormally expressed in the ileal mucosa of Crohn's disease and FimH adhesin of AIEC.

    AIEC colonization assessment in CEABAC10 mice treated with monovalent compounds.

    [1267] To mimic curative treatment, compounds were analyzed for their anti-adhesive effect on a pre-established LF82 colonization in CEABAC10 mice. CEABAC10 mice were given 0.5% of DSS in drinking water. Two days later, mice were treated per os with streptomycin sulfate, 5 mg/mouse. Twenty four hours later, (corresponding to day 0), a five-hour culture of AIEC LF82 bacteria in LB broth was concentrated to reach 510.sup.9 bacteria/mL and was administered by gavage 2 h after the intragastric administration of cimetidine at 50 mg/kg in order to ablate gastric secretion. Oral administration of monovalent compounds at a range from 1 to 1000 g/mouse (=0.04 to 40 mg/kg) was realized 2 h after LF82 infection. A second administration of the compounds was realized 18 h later (cimetidine was also given 2 h before administration of the compounds). Body weight and signs of colitis were followed for 4 days. Stools were collected from day 1 to day 4 post-infection to assess bacterial colonization. Mice were euthanized at day+4 and the entire intestine was collected to assess the number of AIEC bacteria associated with the gut mucosa, to measure pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, to measure myeloperoxidase activity as indicator of neutrophil infiltration in the intestinal tissue, to determine the disease activity index and to estimate histological damages of the mucosa.

    [1268] Similar protocol was realized in testing a prophylactic administration of the compounds (administration of similar doses of monovalent compounds 5 h before infection). Compounds were compared for their efficacy, depending on the dose and on the preventive or curative effect. To analyze whether the inhibitory effects could be related to toxicity effects, the absence of cell death of intestinal epithelial cells or bacteria was assessed at the highest dose of each compound.

    [1269] CEABAC10 mice were infected with 10.sup.9 bacteria at day 0 (DO) and then orally treated two times with 10 mg/kg of compounds 5 and 10 (curative treatment). Body weight was followed during 3 days before LF82 infection and until day 4 post-infection. Bacterial loads in feces and signs of colitis were followed at day 1, 3 and 4 after infection as well as the severity of colitis, assessed by establishment of the Disease Activity Index score (DAI). The numbers of bacteria associated to the intestinal mucosa were assessed at day 4 post-infection.

    [1270] Intestinal tissues were sampled to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and to analyze damages of mucosa (HES staining of colonic slices). Finally, spleen were collected and weighted.

    Results

    [1271] The body weight mean of the LF82-infected mice strongly decreased between day 0 and day 4 post-infection, compared to the non-infected group. LF82-infected mice treated with compound 5 or 10 did not show any decrease in the body weight (FIG. 3). Compared to LF82-infected mice, LF82-infected mice treated with monovalent compounds 5 or 10 showed very low DAI scores at day 3 and 4 post-infection, similar to that of non-infected mice (FIG. 4D). The LF82 colonization levels were strongly decreased in the feces of LF82-infected mice treated with 5 and 10 (with less than 10.sup.4 bacteria/g of feces), in comparison with LF82-infected but non treated mice (more than 10.sup.6 bacteria/g of feces) (FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C). Similar decreased colonization in the presence of compounds 5 and 10 was observed for the number of bacteria associated to the ileum and the colon (0 CFU/g of intestinal tissue) compared to 510.sup.3 and 110.sup.4 CFU/g of tissue for ileum and colon, respectively, in the absence of any compounds (FIG. 5). Compared to the non-infected mice, increased spleen weight was observed in LF82-infected mice. This was no longer observed when mice were treated with monovalent compounds 5 and 10 (FIG. 6). Finally, in that infection model, LF82 was able to increase the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-23, KC and TNF- secreted, compared to non-infected mice. When mice were treated with monovalent compound, 5 and 10 the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted were decreased compared to non-treated mice. Decreases were significant for the three IL-23, KC and TNF- cytokines in the presence of compound 10 but not in the presence of compound 5 (FIG. 7).

    In Vitro Screening of Anti-FimH Molecules

    [1272] Molecules were screened for their inhibition effect on the adhesion of the AIEC LF82 strain to intestinal epithelial T84 cells.

    [1273] The molecules tested were the O-glycosides 10 and 5, the S-glycoside 16 and the C-glycoside 22.

    Post-Incubation Protocol with Undifferentiated T84 Cells:

    [1274] The AIEC LF82 strain was incubated with T84 cells and then the tested molecule was added.

    [1275] The Protocol is as follows: [1276] Cells: T84, 48h culture, in 48 wells plate at 1.510.sup.5 cells/well; [1277] Bacteria: AIEC LF82 strain, Culture ON; [1278] Inhibitor compounds in mother solutions (10, 20, 50 or 100 mM); [1279] Measure the OD(620) of the bacterial culture; [1280] Prepare the bacterial suspension at 610 .sup.6 bact/mL in DMEM/F12/SVF dec 10% medium; [1281] Wash twice the cellular layer with PBS; [1282] Add 250 l/well of bacteria suspension, id. 1.510.sup.6 bact/well (MOI=10); [1283] Incubate 3 hours at 37 C.; [1284] Prepare inhibitor compounds at the wished final concentration in DMEM/F12/SVF dec 10% medium and filtrate at 0.2 l filter; [1285] Wash 5 times the cellular layer with PBS; [1286] Add 250 L of inhibitor compounds/well; [1287] Incubate 3 hours at 37 C.; [1288] Wash 5 times the cellular layer with PBS; [1289] Add 250 L of Triton X-100 at 1%, incubate 5 min at room temperature then add Triton in each well; [1290] Take the entire content of each well and transfer it in an Eppendorf tube of 1.5 mL; [1291] Perform serial dilutions in physiological water: 50 l of sample in 450 l of physiological water;

    [1292] (NB: Prepare physiological water +2% D-mannose if difficulty met to get isolated colonies) [1293] Spread 25 l of dilution on LB-agar gelose; [1294] Incubate overnight at 37 C.

    [1295] For this experiment, all compounds have been tested at a final concentration of 100 M.

    Criteria of Evaluation:

    [1296] The criteria of evaluation is the residual adhesion (level of colonization/decolonization of AIEC measured on cells) expressed in percentage.

    Results: Dose Effect with Tested Molecule at Different Concentrations:

    [1297] Pre incubation experiments and post incubation experiments (FIG. 8) provide consistent results with respect to 10/22 and 5/16.

    In Vivo Testing of Anti-Adhesive Effect of Molecules on AIEC LF82 Colonization in CEABAC10 Mice

    [1298] Molecules tested: 10 (1 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg), 22 (10 mg/kg), 16 (10 mg/kg), 5 (10 mg/kg) The aim was to test different compounds given per os to CEABAC10 mice infected by AIEC LF82 strains by assessing their ability to decrease bacterial colonization and related colitis.

    Protocol:

    [1299] Mice CEABAC10 (8 weeks-old males) were given DSS 0.5% in water for all the time of experiment. [1300] Two days later, mice were treated p.o. with Streptomycin sulfate, 5 mg/mouse (in water). [1301] The following day (=DO), LB broth was inoculated (1/100.sup.th) with an ON culture of AIEC LF82 and incubated at 37 C. with shaking in order to obtain a DO=0.5 or 0.6 maximum. Bacteria were concentrated at 1.510.sup.10 bacteria/mL and 0.2 mL was administered intra-gastrically to mice (=310.sup.9 bact/mouse) 2 h after oral administration of cimetidine at 50 mg/kg in order to ablate gastric secretion (6.25 mg/mL in water, 0.2mL/mouse). [1302] Tested molecules were orally given twice at a dose of 250 g/mouse (=10 mg/kg) or 25 g/mouse (=1 mg/kg) in PBS, 2 h and 18 h after infection (cimetidine was given 2 h before each administration of the compounds). [1303] Body weight were followed for 3 (for ANRS) to 4 (for ANR3) days. [1304] Stools were collected at day+1 (ANR3 and ANRS), day+3 post-infection (ANRS), day+4 post-infection (ANR3) to assess bacterial colonization. [1305] Mice were euthanized at day+4 for ANR3 and day+3 for ANRS and entire intestine was collected to assess the bacterial colonization at the mucosa (ileum+colon), to measure pro-inflammatory cytokine secretions, to assess the neutrophil infiltration into the tissues (myeloperoxidase activity), to assess the disease activity index. [1306] ANR3: Groups of male mice (32 mice in total): [1307] A. Non-infected (NI) mice; n=8 [1308] B. LF82-Infected mice without treatment; n=8 [1309] C. LF82-Infected mice+10 at 10 mg/kg; n=8 [1310] D. LF82-Infected mice+5 at 10 mg/kg; n=8 [1311] ANRS: Groups of male mice (48 mice in total): [1312] E. Non-infected (NI) mice; n=12 [1313] F. LF82-Infected mice without treatment; n=12 [1314] G. LF82-Infected mice+22 at 10 mg/kg; n=12 [1315] H. LF82-Infected mice+16 at 10 mg/kg; n=12

    Criteria of Evaluation:

    [1316] 1. Body weight

    [1317] 2. Disease activity index (DAI)

    [1318] 3. Bacterial colonization in stools

    [1319] 4. Bacterial colonization at the mucosa

    [1320] 5. Pro-inflammatory cytokine secretions

    [1321] 6. Neutrophil infiltration into the tissues (myeloperoxidase activity)

    Results:

    [1322] The evolution of the weight of CEABAC10 transgenic mice uninfected or infected with AIEC LF82 was followed after administration of various molecules to be tested (FIG. 9). Infection of mice with MEC LF82 leads to a decrease in the weight of mouse. The administration of molecules 10, 22 and 16 prevents weight loss induced by infection with the AIEC LF82 strain (FIGS. 9A and 9B). This observation correlates with decreased of disease activity index (DAT score) 3 days after infection following administration of molecules 10, 22 and 16 in mice infected with AIEC LF82 (FIG. 10). To assess the ability of molecules to reduce the colonization of the intestinal mucosa by AIEC strains, the amount of AIEC bacteria present in the feces, which reflects the amount of AIEC bacteria associated with intestinal mucosa, was measured. As control, one day post-infection, the amount of MEC bacteria present in feces was comparable irrespective of the administration of molecules tested, indicating a similar level of colonization in all the batches from the experiment. Interestingly, administration of molecule 22 lead to a decrease in the amount of AMC LF82 bacteria in the feces of infected mice at 3 and 4 days post-infection, showing the effectiveness of these molecules to decrease the ability of the MEC LF82 to colonize the mouse intestine (FIG. 11). In addition, the count of ALEC LF82 bacteria associated with ileal or colonic mucosa at 4 day post-infection shows that the molecules 22 and 16 decolonized AIEC bacteria very effectively at the ileal and colonic mucosa (FIG. 12), Various inflammatory parameters were measured at 3 or 4 days post-infection. First, the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, which reflects the infiltration of the intestinal mucosa by neutrophils, was measured. Interestingly, administration of molecules 10, 5, 22 led to a decrease in MPO activity (FIG. 13). In addition, the quantification of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL23 (FIG. 14) and IL-Ibeta (FIG. 15) was performed at the level of mucosa from infected mice. The administration of the molecules 10, 5, 16 resulted in a reduction of the cytokine IL23 level and administration of the molecules 10, 5 led to a decrease in the release of IL I-beta.

    [1323] All of these in vivo results obtained in the transgenic mouse model CEABAC 10 infected with AIEC LF82 shows that different molecules tested either reduced the activity of the disease (weight and score DAT), the level of colonization of mucosa or inflammatory parameters (MPO activity and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines), suggesting that these molecules are potentially useful in the treatment of Crohn's disease patients colonized by AIEC strains.

    Example 43

    Ex Vivo Protocol

    [1324] The ex vivo model of explant cultures from human colonic mucosa is used to examine the interactions of the AIEC strain LF82 with human colonic mucosa (controls) cells and the decolonization of AIEC from mucosa cells thanks to the FimH antagonists molecules (treated).

    [1325] Human Colonic mucosa explants. The mucosa is carefully stripped from the underlying compartment. Fragments of 40 mg are maintained in culture overnight in RPMI-BSA 0.01% supplemented with gentamicin to get rid of commensal bacteria, and fungizone washed twice in RPMI, and then incubated for 4 h with or without bacterial cultures (LF82-GFP) in 2 ml culture medium without antibiotics. The explants are maintained at 37 C. in a 95% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide humid atmosphere on a rocking platform at low speed. In each experiment, at least three explants are cultured for each condition. The supernatants are centrifuged and aliquots are stored at 80 C. for further analysis.

    [1326] Bacterial strains and media. The prototype AIEC strain LF82-GFP is used (UMR 1071 Inserm/Universite d'Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, France). The strains are stored at 20 C. in cryotubes. Before the experiments, the bacteria are cultivated on TS agar at 37 C. for 24 h after thawing. For each experiment, bacteria are subcultured in LB broth at 37 C. for 18h with shaking. The bacteria are then centrifuged for 10 min at 800g. The pellet is washed twice with sterile PBS, and the suspension is adjusted to 0.510.sup.8 or 0.510.sup.9 bacteria per milliliter, in culture medium (RPMI/BSA 0.01% without antibiotics).

    [1327] The explant cultures, left to stabilize overnight in culture medium with antibiotics, were co-incubated with LF82-green fluorescent protein (GFP) (10.sup.8 or 10.sup.9 bacteria per explant) without antibiotics for 4 h. LF82 bacteria, detected by immunoperoxidase using an anti-GFP antibody on paraffin sections, are found adhering to the apical pole of a few epithelial cells of the surface and crypt base, scattered or sometimes focally clustered.

    3. Analysis

    [1363] 3.1. Analysis of plasma samples

    [1364] 100 L of the plasma sample are taken and 300 L of acetonitrile are added. After protein precipitation, analysis are performed using LC-MS/MS determination according to previous analytical test results.

    Testing of Resistance to Mannosidases

    [1382] Compounds are testing for degradation by intestinal enzymes like mannosidases, known to preferentially induce breakage between mannose and O-linkage. To avoid such degradation, several analogues have been designed, for example 22 (CH2-analogue of 10), 16 (S analogue of 5).

    [1383] Each compound is incubated with mannosidase and with or without inhibitors of mannosidase. Mass spectrometry experiments are performed to detect native and degraded compounds.

    In Vitro Toxicity Studies

    [1384] The cytotoxic activity of compounds 10 and 22 against normal cell lines using MTS assay was determined.

    Materials and Methods

    [1385] Compounds 10 and 22 were extemporaneously dissolved at 100 mM in water to obtain a stock solution.

    [1386] The final concentrations of compounds 10 and 22 were 100 nM, 1 M, 10 M, 100 M and 1 mM within wells.

    [1387] The cell lines that were used are detailed in the table hereafter:

    TABLE-US-00004 Cell line Type Species Origin HUV-EC-C Umbilical vein Human Millipore endothelial cells CCD-18Co Colon normal Human ATCC CRL-1459 fibroblast MRC-5 Normal ftal Human ATCC CCL-171 lung fibroblast PWR-1E Normal prostate Human ATCC CRL-11611 cells

    [1388] The 4 cell lines were plated at optimal density per well in 96-well plates. Plates were incubated at 37 C. for 24 hours before treatment, in drug-free culture medium. Cell lines were then incubated for 96 hours at 37 C. under 5% CO.sub.2 with the 5 concentrations of compounds 10 or 22 in 1:10 dilution steps. Each concentration was done in triplicate. Control cells were treated with vehicle alone (water). At the end of the treatment, the cytotoxic activity of compounds 10 and 22 was assessed by MTS assay.

    [1389] The in vitro cytotoxic activity of compounds 10 and 22 was revealed by a MTS assay using tetrazolium compound (MTS, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxy phenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) and an electron coupling reagent named PMS (phenazine methosulfate).

    [1390] The dose response for index of cytotoxicity (IC) is expressed as following:

    [00003] IC = OD drug - exposed .Math. .Math. wells OD vehicule - exposed .Math. .Math. wells 100

    [1391] The OD values are the mean of 3 experimental measurements. IC.sub.50 represents the drug concentration required to obtain 50% of cellular cytotoxicity. The IC.sub.50 determination values were calculated from semi-log curves.

    Results

    [1392] Cytotoxicity studies have shown that compounds 10 and 22 do not present an acute toxicity towards the above-mentioned four cell lines.

    [1393] The values obtained for Docetaxel (control compound) are consistent with known values of inherent toxicity, thus validating these experiments.
