Figure Lengend Snippet: ABL/PI5P-amikacin combined treatment reduces Mab285 intracellular viability in macrophages of PWCF who do not receive ETI therapeutic regimen. MDM from PWCF without a modulator regimen (n = 6) were cultured at a concentration of 1 × 10 6 cells/mL in 96-well plates. Cells were then infected with Mycobacterium abscessus at multiplicity of infection 10 for 3 hours and stimulated with ABL/PI5P and/or 4 µg/mL amikacin for 18 hours. Finally, supernatant was collected, and MDM were lysed to enumerate extracellular ( A ) and intracellular ( B ) bacteria. Replication index was calculated as the ratio between the colony-forming units obtained 18 hours after infection in the presence or absence of ABL/PI5P and/or amikacin, and those obtained immediately after infection and before the stimuli. The results are shown as mean ± standard deviation of the values obtained. Statistical analysis was performed by 2-sided Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. * P < .05. If not indicated by the line, the comparisons were performed versus control. Abbreviations: ABL/PI5P, apoptotic body-like liposome/phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate; PWCF, people with cystic fibrosis; ETI, elexacaftor, tezacaftor, ivacaftor; MDM, monocyte-derived macrophages; ns, not significant.
