Epigallocatechin-3-gallate reduces liver and immune system damage in Acinetobacter baumannii-loaded mice with restraint stress.

Abstract:

AIM:Due to the significant increase in the antimicrobial resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii), new drugs to block the progression of infection are strongly needed. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, has exhibited potential activity against A. baumannii in vitro. The aim of this study was to determine if EGCG could be used for pretreating stress-related effects, liver damage, and immune dysfunction caused by A. baumannii infection in vivo. METHODS:Levels of stress hormones, oxidative stress, liver damage, and immune components were analyzed in a murine infection model in which the mice were pretreated with EGCG for one week then intranasally inoculated with A. baumannii. The mice were restrained for 12 h to promote infection because A. baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen. The pretreatment efficacy of EGCG against A. baumannii in mice was assessed for 24 h after the bacterial infection. RESULTS:Restraint stress strengthened the damage from the A. baumannii infection. Pretreatment with EGCG in the murine pneumonia model markedly reduced stress hormones, oxidative metabolites, and proinflammatory cytokine production. EGCG also increased the immune function by increasing the levels of sIgA, T cells and neutrophils after infection. Moreover, pretreatment with EGCG significantly decreased the liver damage by inhibiting the levels of transaminases, oxidative stress metabolites, and cytokines, while maintaining the normal activity of CYP450 enzymes in the liver. CONCLUSION:EGCG was efficacious as a preventative treatment for the damage seen in an experimental model of A. baumannii infection.
