Abstract
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) outbreak has emerged as a global public health crisis. Therefore, new and innovative therapeutic options like host-directed therapies (HDTs) through novel modulators are urgently required to overcome the challenges associated with TB. In the present study, we have investigated the anti-mycobacterial effect of 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol. Cell-viability assay asserted that 50 μM of 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol was not cytotoxic to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) differentiated THP-1 (dTHP-1) cells. It was observed that 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol activates p53 expression by hindering its association with KDM1A. Increased ROS, intracellular Ca2+ and phagosome-lysosome fusion, were also observed upon 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol treatment. 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol mediated killing of intracellular mycobacteria was abrogated in the presence of specific inhibitors of ROS, Ca2+ and phagosome-lysosome fusion like NAC, BAPTA-AM, and W7, respectively. We further demonstrate that 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol mediated enhanced ROS production is mediated by acetylation of p53. Blocking of p53 acetylation by Pifithrin-α (PFT- α) enhanced intracellular mycobacterial growth by blocking the mycobactericidal effect of 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol. Altogether, the results showed that 4-(Benzyloxy)phenol executed its anti-mycobacterial effect by modulating p53-mediated ROS production to regulate phagosome-lysosome fusion through Ca2+ production.
