Background

Pyocyanin (PCN) is a blue redox-active secondary metabolite produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PCN is readily recovered in large quantities in sputum from patients patients infected with P. aeruginosa [1]. PCN interferes with multiple cellular functions [1].

In vitro: Pyocyanin induced a time- and concentration-dependent acceleration of neutrophil apoptosis. Treatment with 50 μM pyocyanin resulted in a 10-fold induction of apoptosis at 5h(p < 0.001). The concentration 50 (μM) has been documented in sputum from patients colonized with P. aeruginosa. Pyocyanin showed no effects on the apoptosis of monocyte-derived macrophages or airway epithelial cells at time points up to 24 h [2]. Pyocyanin resulted in gradual onset of slowing and ultimate widespread ciliostasis with epithelial disruption [3].

In vivo: In a murine model of acute pneumonia, pyocyanin production by P. aeruginosa suppressed the acute inflammatory response by pathogen-driven acceleration of neutrophil apoptosis and by reducing local inflammation. Intratracheal instillation of wild-type and pyocyanin-deficient strains of P. aeruginosa caused a rapid increase in bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophil counts up to 18 h after infection.

In wild-type infection, the number of neutrophil declined steadily. neutrophil numbers increased up to 48 h in mice infected with pyocyanin-deficient P. aeruginosa. Pyocyanin production was associated with reduced bacterial clearance from the lungs. The concentration of potent neutrophil chemokines (MIP-2, KC) and cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β) were significantly lower in wild-type when compared with that of phenazine-deficient strain-infected mice at 18 h [4]. Pyocyanin (600 ng) resulted in 60% reduction in tracheal mucus velocity at 3 h, and no recovery occurred [5].
