产品描述： Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a common pathogen affecting immunocompromised patients with acute

diseases such as pneumonia and vasculitis or chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis. It produces several phenazine

toxic metabolites, the most predominant of which is a blue pigment, pyocyanin. Pyocyanin, which can reach concentrations

of 100 µM in cystic fibrosis patients infected with P. aeruginosa, activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor with a Ki value of

5.4 µM.1 This induces the expression of both detoxifying enzymes, resulting in pyocyanin degradation, and cytokines that

facilitate the clearance of bacteria.1 Pyocyanin has been shown to accelerate neutrophil apoptosis in vitro, resulting in resolution

of acute inflammation, which is beneficial for bacterial survival. It also induces a 10-fold acceleration of neutrophil apoptosis in

vivo.2 Pyocyanin production results in reduced bacterial clearance from the lungs of immunocompromised patients. It has also

been reported to induce apoptosis in human lung epithelial cells and to induce premature cellular senescence in mammalian cells.

3 Pyocyanin undergoes nonenzymatic reduction by NADPH, which produces hydrogen peroxide and depletes intracellular glutathione

levels, causing oxidative stress in susceptible cells.4
