Interleukin 34 Serves as a Novel Molecular Adjuvant against Nocardia Seriolae Infection in Largemouth Bass (Micropterus Salmoides).


ABSTRACT: DNA vaccines have been widely employed in controlling viral and bacterial infections in mammals and teleost fish. Co-injection of molecular adjuvants, including chemokines, cytokines, and immune co-stimulatory molecules, is one of the potential strategies used to improve DNA vaccine efficacy. In mammals and teleost fish, interleukin-34 (IL-34) had been described as a multifunctional cytokine and its immunological role had been confirmed; however, the adjuvant capacity of IL-34 remains to be elucidated. In this study, IL-34 was identified in largemouth bass. A recombinant plasmid of IL-34 (pcIL-34) was constructed and co-administered with a DNA vaccine encoding hypoxic response protein 1 (Hrp1; pcHrp1) to evaluate the adjuvant capacity of pcIL-34 against Nocardia seriolae infection. Our results indicated that pcIL-34 co-injected with pcHrp1 not only triggered innate immunity and a specific antibody response, but also enhanced the mRNA expression level of immune-related genes encoding for cytokines, chemokines, and humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Moreover, pcIL-34 enhanced the protection of pcHrp1 against N. seriolae challenge and conferred the relative percent survival of 82.14%. Collectively, IL-34 is a promising adjuvant in a DNA vaccine against nocardiosis in fish.
