Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic pathogen has shown an upsurge in its multi-drug resistant isolates. OmpA of A. baumannii induces incomplete autophagy and apoptosis in host cells. Various therapeutic alternatives are under investigation against A. baumannii. Here, the major emphasis has been laid on comparing the efficacy of AgNP with different capping agents. OmpA targeted lead, Ivermectin capped AgNP (IVM-AgNP) has been compared with the antibacterial polyvinylpyrrolidone capped AgNP (PVP-AgNP) for their role in the modulations of host autophagy. Upregulation of p62 and LC3B confirmed by real-time PCR analysis indicated an increased autophagic flux upon the treatment with AgNPs. The elongation and closure of autophagic vacuoles was also supported by upregulated Atg genes (Atg4, Atg3, Atg5) in A. baumannii infected cells after treatment with AgNP. Autophagic flux increased on treatment with PVP-AgNP as suggested by the rise in mcherryLC3B fluorescence in A549 cells treated with PVP-AgNP as compared to the GFP-LC3B of IVM-AgNP. This suggests that PVP-AgNP treatment more effectively promotes the elongation and maturation stages of autophagy by increasing autophagic flux. These results indicate that capped AgNPs have the efficiency to revert the incomplete autophagy induced by A. baumannii back to normal autophagic levels.
