Chitosan-DNA nanoparticles enhanced the immunogenicity of multivalent DNA vaccination on mice against Trueperella pyogenes infection.

ABSTRACT: Trueperella pyogenes is a commensal and opportunistic pathogen that normally causes mastitis, liver abscesses and pneumonia of economically important livestock. To develop efficacious and potent vaccine against T. pyogenes, chimeric gene DNA vaccines were constructed and encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles (pPCFN-CpG-CS-NPs).The pPCFN-CpG-CS-NPs consists of the plo, cbpA, fimA, and nanH gene of T. pyogenes and CpG ODN1826. It was produced with good morphology, high stability, a mean diameter of 93.58 nm, and a zeta potential of + 5.27 mV. Additionally, chitosan encapsulation was confirmed to protect the DNA plasmid from DNase I digestion. The immunofluorescence assay indicated that the four-chimeric gene could synchronously express in HEK293T cells and maintain good bioactivity. Compared to the mice immunized with the control plasmid, in vivo immunization showed that mice immunized with the pPCFN-CpG-CS-NPs had better immune responses, and release of the plasmid DNA was prolonged. Importantly, immunization with pPCFN-CpG-CS-NPs could significantly protect mice from highly virulent T. pyogenes TP7 infection.This study indicates that chitosan-DNA nanoparticles are potent immunization candidates against T. pyogenes infection and provides strategies for the further development of novel vaccines encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles.

Project description:Trueperella pyogenes (T. pyogenes) is an important opportunistic animal pathogen that causes huge economic losses to the animal husbandry industry. The emergence of bacterial resistance and the unsatisfactory effect of the vaccine have prompted investigators to explore alternative strategies for controlling T. pyogenes infection. Due to the ability of phages to kill multidrug-resistant bacteria, the use of phage therapy to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections has attracted attention. In this study, a T. pyogenes phage, vB-ApyS-JF1 (JF1), was isolated from sewage samples, and its whole genome and biological characteristics were elucidated. Moreover, the protective effect of phage JF1 on a mouse bacteremic model caused by T. pyogenes was studied. JF1 harbors a double-stranded DNA genome with a length of 90,130 bp (30.57% G + C). The genome of JF1 lacked bacterial virulence-, antibiotic resistance- and lysogenesis-related genes. Moreover, the genome sequence of JF1 exhibited low coverage (<6%) with all published phages in the NCBI database, and a phylogenetic analysis of the terminase large subunits and capsid indicated that JF1 was evolutionarily distinct from known phages. In addition, JF1 was stable over a wide range of pH values (3 to 11) and temperatures (4 to 50°C) and exhibited strong lytic activity against T. pyogenes in vitro. In murine experiments, a single intraperitoneal administration of JF1 30 min post-inoculation provided 100% protection for mice against T. pyogenes infection. Compared to the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) treatment group, JF1 significantly (P < 0.01) reduced the bacterial load in the blood and tissues of infected mice. Meanwhile, treatment with phage JF1 relieved the pathological symptoms observed in each tissue. Furthermore, the levels of the inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the blood of infected mice were significantly (P < 0.01) decreased in the phage-treated group. Taken together, these results indicate that phage JF1 demonstrated great potential as an alternative therapeutic treatment against T. pyogenes infection.
