Respiratory syncytial virus-like nanoparticle vaccination induces long-term protection without pulmonary disease by modulating cytokines and T-cells partially through alveolar macrophages.

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms of protection against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are poorly understood. Virus-like nanoparticles expressing RSV glycoproteins (eg, a combination of fusion and glycoprotein virus-like nanoparticles [FG VLPs]) have been suggested to be a promising RSV vaccine candidate. To understand the roles of alveolar macrophages (AMs) in inducing long-term protection, mice that were 12 months earlier vaccinated with formalin-inactivated RSV (FI-RSV) or FG VLPs were treated with clodronate liposome prior to RSV infection. FI-RSV immune mice with clodronate liposome treatment showed increases in eosinophils, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, interleukin (IL)-4(+) T-cell infiltration, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and, in particular, mucus production upon RSV infection. In contrast to FI-RSV immune mice with severe pulmonary histopathology, FG VLP immune mice showed no overt sign of histopathology and significantly lower levels of eosinophils, T-cell infiltration, and inflammatory cytokines, but higher levels of interferon-?, which are correlated with protection against RSV disease. FG VLP immune mice with depletion of AMs showed increases in inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, as well as eosinophils. The results in this study suggest that FG nanoparticle vaccination induces long-term protection against RSV and that AMs play a role in the RSV protection by modulating eosinophilia, mucus production, inflammatory cytokines, and T-cell infiltration.

Project description:The nasal priming with nonviable Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 (NV1505) or its purified peptidoglycan (PG1505) differentially modulates the respiratory innate immune response in infant mice, improving their resistance to primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and secondary pneumococcal pneumonia. In association with the protection against RSV-pneumococcal superinfection, it was found that NV1505 or PG1505 significantly enhance the numbers of CD11c+SiglecF+ alveolar macrophages (AMs) producing interferon (IFN)-β. In this work, we aimed to further advance in the characterization of the beneficial effects of NV1505 and PG1505 in the context of a respiratory superinfection by evaluating whether their immunomodulatory properties are dependent on AM functions. Macrophage depletion experiments and a detailed study of their production of cytokines and antiviral factors clearly demonstrated the key role of this immune cell population in the improvement of both the reduction of pathogens loads and the protection against lung tissue damage induced by the immunobiotic CRL1505 strain. Studies at basal conditions during primary RSV or S. pneumoniae infections, as well as during secondary pneumococcal pneumonia, brought the following five notable findings regarding the immunomodulatory effects of NV1505 and PG1505: (a) AMs play a key role in the beneficial modulation of the respiratory innate immune response and protection against RSV infection, (b) AMs are necessary for improved protection against primary and secondary pneumococcal pneumonia, (c) the generation of activated/trained AMs would be essential for the enhanced protection against respiratory pathogens, (d) other immune and nonimmune cell populations in the respiratory tract may contribute to the protection against bacterial and viral infections, and (e) the immunomodulatory properties of NV1505 and PG1505 are strain-specific. These findings significantly improve our knowledge about the immunological mechanisms involved in the modulation of respiratory immunity induced by beneficial microbes.

Project description:ImportanceA nonadjuvanted bivalent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prefusion F (RSVpreF [Pfizer]) protein subunit vaccine was newly approved and recommended for pregnant individuals at 32 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks' gestation during the 2023 to 2024 RSV season; however, clinical vaccine data are lacking.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between prenatal RSV vaccination status and perinatal outcomes among patients who delivered during the vaccination season.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective observational cohort study was conducted at 2 New York City hospitals within 1 health care system among patients who gave birth to singleton gestations at 32 weeks' gestation or later from September 22, 2023, to January 31, 2024.ExposurePrenatal RSV vaccination with the RSVpreF vaccine captured from the health system's electronic health records.Main outcome and measuresThe primary outcome is preterm birth (PTB), defined as less than 37 weeks' gestation. Secondary outcomes included hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), stillbirth, small-for-gestational age birth weight, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, neonatal respiratory distress with NICU admission, neonatal jaundice or hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and neonatal sepsis. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs), and multivariable logistic regression models and time-dependent covariate Cox regression models were performed.ResultsOf 2973 pregnant individuals (median [IQR] age, 34.9 [32.4-37.7] years), 1026 (34.5%) received prenatal RSVpreF vaccination. Fifteen patients inappropriately received the vaccine at 37 weeks' gestation or later and were included in the nonvaccinated group. During the study period, 60 patients who had evidence of prenatal vaccination (5.9%) experienced PTB vs 131 of those who did not (6.7%). Prenatal vaccination was not associated with an increased risk for PTB after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.62-1.20) and addressing immortal time bias (hazard ratio [HR], 0.93; 95% CI, 0.64-1.34). There were no significant differences in pregnancy and neonatal outcomes based on vaccination status in the logistic regression models, but an increased risk of HDP in the time-dependent model was seen (HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.16-1.77).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of pregnant individuals who delivered at 32 weeks' gestation or later, the RSVpreF vaccine was not associated with an increased risk of PTB and perinatal outcomes. These data support the safety of prenatal RSVpreF vaccination, but further investigation into the risk of HDP is warranted.
