Generation of effector memory T cell-based mucosal and systemic immunity with pulmonary nanoparticle vaccination.

ABSTRACT: Many pathogens infiltrate the body and initiate infection via mucosal surfaces. Hence, eliciting cellular immune responses at mucosal portals of entry is of great interest for vaccine development against mucosal pathogens. We describe a pulmonary vaccination strategy combining Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists with antigen-carrying lipid nanocapsules [interbilayer-crosslinked multilamellar vesicles (ICMVs)], which elicit high-frequency, long-lived, antigen-specific effector memory T cell responses at multiple mucosal sites. Pulmonary immunization using protein- or peptide-loaded ICMVs combined with two TLR agonists, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (polyI:C) and monophosphoryl lipid A, was safe and well tolerated in mice, and led to increased antigen transport to draining lymph nodes compared to equivalent subcutaneous vaccination. This response was mediated by the vast number of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the lungs. Nanocapsules primed 13-fold more T cells than did equivalent soluble vaccines, elicited increased expression of mucosal homing integrin ?????, and generated long-lived T cells in both the lungs and distal (for example, vaginal) mucosa strongly biased toward an effector memory (T(EM)) phenotype. These T(EM) responses were highly protective in both therapeutic tumor and prophylactic viral vaccine settings. Together, these data suggest that targeting cross-presentation-promoting particulate vaccines to the APC-rich pulmonary mucosa can promote robust T cell responses for protection of mucosal surfaces.

Project description:Brucellosis remains the most common zoonotic disease globally. Currently no vaccines for humans exist, and conventional brucellosis vaccines for livestock fail to confer complete protection; hence, an improved vaccine is needed. Although Brucella infections primarily occur following a mucosal exposure, vaccines are administered parenterally. Few studies have considered mucosal vaccinations, or even targeting of tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells. TRM cells protect against viral infections, but less is known of their role in bacterial infections, and even less for brucellosis. Oral prime, nasal boost with a newly developed Brucella abortus double mutant (znBAZ) confers nearly complete protection against pulmonary challenge with wild-type (wt) B. abortus 2308, and its protective efficacy is >2800-fold better than the RB51 vaccine. Vaccination with znBAZ potently stimulated CD8+ T cells, whereas mucosal vaccination with RB51 induced mostly CD4+ T cells. Subsequent analysis revealed these pulmonary CD44+ CD69+ CD8+ T cells to be either CD103+ or CD103- TRM cells, and these sequestered to the lung parenchyma as CXCR3lo and to the airways as CXCR3hi. Both CD8+ TRM subsets contained single-positive IFN-? and TNF-?, as well as, polyfunctional cells. IL-17-producing CD8+ TRM cells were also induced by znBAZ vaccination, but in vivo IL-17 neutralization had no impact upon protection. In vivo depletion of CD4+ T cells had no impact upon protection in znBAZ-vaccinated mice. In contrast, CD4+ T cell depletion reduced RB51's protective efficacy in spleens and lungs by two- and three-logs, respectively. Although anti-CD8 mAb-treated znBAZ-vaccinated mice showed a significantly reduced pulmonary efficacy, this treatment failed to completely deplete the lung CD8+ T cells, leaving the CD103+ and CD103- CD8+ TRM cell ratios intact. Only znBAZ-vaccinated CD8-/- mice were fully sensitive to pulmonary challenge with virulent wt B. abortus 2308 since CD8+ TRM cells could not be induced. Collectively, these data demonstrate the key role of mucosal vaccination for the generation of CD8+ TRM cells in protecting against pulmonary challenge with virulent B. abortus.
