Formulation in DDA-MPLA-TDB Liposome Enhances the Immunogenicity and Protective Efficacy of a DNA Vaccine against Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection.

ABSTRACT: Despite the vaccine Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is used worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) remains the first killer among infectious diseases. An effective vaccine is urgently required. DNA vaccine has shown prophylactic as well as therapeutic effects against TB, while its weak immunogenicity hinders the application. As a strong inducer of Th1-biased immune response, DMT, consisting of dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDA) and two pattern recognition receptor agonists monophosphoryl lipid A and trehalose 6,6'-dibehenate (TDB), was a newly developed liposomal adjuvant. To elucidate the action mechanism of DMT and improve immunological effects induced by DNA vaccine, a new recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pCMFO that secretes the fusion of four multistage antigens (Rv2875, Rv3044, Rv2073c, and Rv0577) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was constructed. pCMFO/DDA and pCMFO/DMT complexes were then prepared and their physicochemical properties were analyzed. The immunogenicity and protection against M. tuberculosis infection in vaccinated C57BL/6 mice were compared. Formulation of DNA and two agonists into the DDA liposome decreased zeta potential but increased the stability of storage, which resulted in a slower and longer-lasting release of DNA from the DNA-DMT complex than the DNA-DDA liposome. Besides Th1-biased responses, pCMFO/DMT vaccinated mice elicited more significantly CFMO-specific IL2+ TCM cell responses in the spleen and provided an enhanced and persistent protection against M. tuberculosis aerosol infection, compared to pCMFO/DDA and pCMFO groups. Therefore, the adjuvant DMT can release DNA and agonists slowly, which might attribute to the improved protection of DMT adjuvanted vaccines. pCMFO/DMT, a very promising TB vaccine, warrants for further preclinical and clinical trials.

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-17A-producing T helper (Th)17 cells are increasingly being acknowledged to be associated with protective immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Subunit vaccines potently promote protective immune responses against Mtb infection that correlate with an expansion of IL-23-dependent Th17 cells. Previous studies revealed that after vaccination, IL-23 is required for protection against challenge with Mtb but the underlying IL-23-dependent-and possibly IL-17A-mediated-mechanisms remain elusive. Therefore, we here analyzed the early outcome of Mtb infection in C57BL/6, IL-23p19-deficient (-/-), and IL-17A-/- mice after vaccination with the subunit vaccine H1-DDA/TDB to investigate the role of the IL-23-Th17 immune axis for the instruction of vaccine-induced protection. While in IL-23p19-/- mice the protective effect was reduced, protection after vaccination was maintained in IL-17A-/- animals for the course of infection of 6 weeks, indicating that after vaccination with H1-DDA/TDB early protection against Mtb is-although dependent on IL-23-not mediated by IL-17A. In contrast, IL-17A deficiency appears to have an impact on maintaining long-term protection. In fact, IL-23 instructed the vaccine-induced memory immunity in the lung, in particular the sustained expansion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)+IL-2+ multifunctional T cells, independently of IL-17A. Altogether, a targeted induction of IL-23 during vaccination against Mtb might improve the magnitude and quality of vaccine-induced memory immune responses. KEY MESSAGES: After subunit Mtb vaccination with H1-DDA/TDB, IL-23 but not IL-17A contributes to vaccine-induced early protection against infection with Mtb. IL-17F does not compensate for IL-17A deficiency in terms of H1-DDA/TDB-induced protection against Mtb infection. IL 23 promotes the H1-DDA/TDB-induced accumulation of effector memory T cells independently of IL 17A. IL-23 arbitrates the induction of H1-specific IFN-γ-TNF+IL-2+ double-positive multifunctional CD4 T cells after subunit Mtb vaccination in an IL-17A-independent manner.

Project description:Mycobacterium kansasii is a bacterium included in non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause lung disease. It shares a significant number of antigens with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), suggesting that it has the potential to be used as a tuberculosis (TB) vaccine. Therefore, we subcutaneously vaccinated mice with reference strain, M. kansasii-ATCC12478 [M. kansasii-American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)], and clinically isolated strain, M. kansasii-SM-1 to evaluate potential as a TB vaccine by comparing with bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine. Ten weeks after vaccination, we evaluated immunogenicity of M. kansasii-ATCC and M. kansasii-SM-1, and M. kansasii-SM-1 immunization induces potent Mtb antigen-specific IFN-γ-producing CD4+ T cells than M. kansasii-ATCC. Upon Mtb infection, M. kansasii-SM-1 provided better protection than M. kansasii-ATCC, which was comparable to the efficacy of BCG. These results showed that the clinical strain M. kansasii-SM-1, which exhibits an enhanced Mtb antigen-specific Th1 response, shows greater vaccine efficacy compared to M. kansasii-ATCC. In this study, we demonstrated that vaccine efficacy can vary depending on the strain of M. kansasii and that its efficacy can be comparable to BCG. This suggests that M. kansasii has the potential to be a live TB vaccine candidate.IMPORTANCEMycobacterium kansasii, a non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species causing lung disease, shares key antigens with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), indicating its potential for TB vaccine development. Subcutaneous vaccination of mice with M. kansasii strains reference strain M. kansasii-ATCC12478 [(M. kansasii-American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)] and clinically isolated strain M. kansasii-SM-1 revealed differences in immunogenicity. M. kansasii-SM-1 induced a robust Mtb antigen-specific IFN-γ-producing CD4+ T cell response compared to M. kansasii-ATCC. Additionally, M. kansasii-SM-1 conferred better protection against Mtb infection than M. kansasii-ATCC, which is comparable to bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG). These findings underscore the variable vaccine efficacy among M. kansasii strains, with M. kansasii-SM-1 exhibiting promising potential as a live TB vaccine candidate, suggesting its comparative effectiveness to BCG.
