Trained immunity induction by the inactivated mucosal vaccine MV130 protects against experimental viral respiratory infections
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: MV130 is an inactivated polybacterial mucosal vaccine that confers protection to patients against recurrent respiratory infections, including those of viral etiology. However, its mechanism of action remains poorly understood. Herein, we observe that intranasal prophylaxis with MV130 modulates the lung immune landscape and provides long term heterologous protection against viral respiratory infections in mice. Intranasal administration of MV130 provided protection against systemic candidiasis in wild-type and Rag1-deficient mice lacking functional lymphocytes, indicative of innate immune-mediated protection. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of trained immunity with metformin abrogated the protection conferred by MV130 against Influenza A virus respiratory infection. MV130 induced reprogramming of mouse bone marrow progenitor cells and human monocytes, promoting an enhanced cytokine production that relied on metabolic and epigenetic shifts. Our results unveil that the mucosal a dministration of a fully inactivated bacterial vaccine provides protection against viral infections by a mechanism associated with the induction of trained immunity. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

We showed that MV130 induces long term heterologous protection against viral respiratory infections in mice. Moreover, intranasal administration of MV130 provided protection against systemic candidiasis in wild-type and Rag1-deficient mice lacking functional lymphocytes, indicative of innate immune-mediated protection. As trained immunity acts via modulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (Kaufmann et al., 2018; Mitroulis et al., 2018) we hypothesized that MV130 could confer systemic long-term protection through reprogramming of hematopoietic precursors. For that we measured the chromatin accessibility landscape in multipotent progenitors (MPPs) coming from mice treated with MV130 or its excipient using ATAC-seq.

We showed that MV130 induces long term heterologous protection against viral respiratory infections in mice by a mechanism associated with the induction of trained immunity. Moreover, we found that MV130 induces reprogramming of in vitro human monocytes promoting metabolic changes and enhanced cytokine production. To assess the role of epigenetic changes in MV130-mediated trained immunity induction in human monocytes we measured the chromatin accessibility landscape using ATAC-seq.
Project description:The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) variants and “anatomical escape” characteristics threaten the effectiveness of current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines. There is an urgent need to understand the immunological mechanism of broad-spectrum respiratory tract protection to guide broader vaccines development. In this study, we investigated immune responses induced by an NS1-deleted influenza virus vectored intranasal COVID-19 vaccine (dNS1-RBD) which provides broad-spectrum protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Intranasal delivery of dNS1-RBD induced innate immunity, trained immunity and tissue-resident memory T cells covering the upper and lower respiratory tract. It restrained the inflammatory response by suppressing early phase viral load post SARS-CoV-2 challenge and attenuating pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-1B, and IFN-γ) levels, thereby reducing excess immune-induced tissue injury compared with the control group. By inducing local cellular immunity and trained immunity, intranasal delivery of NS1-deleted influenza virus vectored vaccine represents a broad-spectrum COVID-19 vaccine strategy to reduce disease burden. To investigate the immune response generated by dNS1-RBD vaccine in C57BL/6 mouse lung, we vaccinated C57BL/6 mice and collect the lung samples to sequence for the RNA-seq data, then performed gene expression analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 5 different time points before and after vaccinated with dNS1-RBD vaccine.

Then performed the differential peak and igv track visualization with this dataset.

To investigate the immune response, pathological process caused by SARS-CoV-2 Beta variants infection in Golden Hamster lung. Golden hamsters were vaccinated with dNS1-RBD vaccine at day0 and day 14, and 2 months later the vccinated hamster were challenged with SARS-CoV-2 Beta varians together with control group hamster. Then the lung samples were collected at 0, 1, 3, 5 post infection to sequence for the RNA-seq data, then performed gene expression analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq.
Project description:A major limitation of current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is that they provide minimal protection against acquisition of infection with current Omicron subvariants, although they still provide protection against severe disease. It has been hypothesized that enhanced mucosal immunity will be required to block infection and onward transmission. Intranasal administration of current vaccines has proven inconsistent, suggesting that alternative immunization strategies may be required. Here we show that intratracheal boosting with a bivalent Ad26 based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine results in substantial induction of mucosal humoral and cellular immunity and near complete protection against SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1.1 challenge.
Project description:Results from the Step trial in humans and studies in non-human primates highlighted a role for heightened activated CD4 T cell response in promoting HIV/SIV acquisition. However, the contribution of vaccine-specific CD4 T cell response in influencing protection is not known. Here, using the macaque model, we show that vaccine-induced Th1-biased CCR5+ CD4 T cell response in blood and mucosal tissue above a certain thresh¬old is detrimental for vaccine-mediated protection against pathogenic mucosal SIV infections.
