De novo identification of bacterial antigens of a clinical isolate by combining use of proteosurfaceomics, secretomics, and BacScan technologies

ABSTRACT: Emerging infectious diseases pose a significant threat to both human and animal populations. Rapid de novo identification of protective antigens from a clinical isolate and development of an antigen-matched vaccine is a golden strategy to prevent the spread of emerging novel pathogens. Here, we have developed a universal pipeline by integrating proteosurfaceomics, secretomics, and BacScan technologies for the rapid de novo identification of bacterial protective proteins from a clinical isolate without prior knowledge of the pathogenic bacterium. As a proof of concept, we identified 3 novel protective proteins of A. pleuropneumoniae. Using the protective protein HBS1_14 and toxin proteins, we have developed a promising multivalent subunit vaccine against A. pleuropneumoniae. We believe that our strategy can be applied to any bacterial pathogen and has the potential to significantly accelerate the development of antigen-matched vaccines to prevent the spread of an emerging novel bacterial pathogen.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome LF-LC-MS/MS

Project description:Porcine pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae affects pig health status and the swine industry worldwide. Despite of the extensive number of studies focused on A. pleuropneumoniae infection and vaccine development, its exoproteome is still rather unexplored. By combining high-throughput mass spectrometry and immunoproteomic approaches, with our current work we provide an in-depth characterisation of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome. Label-free liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) combined with a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed 484 secreted proteins, of which 84 were predicted to be virulence factors and 142 to be exported via different export mechanisms. The RTX toxins ApxIIA, ApxIIIA and ApxIVA were found to be the most abundant proteins in the A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 exoproteome, although ApxIVA is commonly assumed to be expressed exclusively in vivo. Immunoproteomic approaches coupled to LC-MS/MS analysis allowed to portray the immunogenic proteins within the bacterial exoproteome to identify potential vaccine candidates. Using serum pools from uninfected, acutely infected and chronically infected animals, we were able to monitor the seroconversion during disease progression. Overall, our work is expected to contribute to the understanding of the complex pathogenic mechanisms and to facilitate the discovery of potential antimicrobial agents for controlling porcine pleuropneumonia.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae encodes multiple phase-variable DNA methyltransferases that control distinct phasevarions

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the cause of porcine pleuropneumonia, a severe respiratory tract infection that is responsible for major economic losses to the swine industry. Many host-adapted bacterial pathogens encode systems known as phasevarions (phase-variable regulons). Phasevarions result from variable expression of cytoplasmic DNA methyltransferases. Variable expression results in genome-wide methylation differences within a bacterial population, leading to altered expression of multiple genes via epigenetic mechanisms. Our examination of a diverse population of A. pleuropneumoniae strains determined that Type I and Type III DNA methyltransferases with the hallmarks of phase variation were present in this species. We demonstrate that phase variation is occurring in these methyltransferases, and show associations between particular Type III methyltransferase alleles and serovar. Using Pacific BioSciences Single-Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, we demonstrate the presence of the first ever characterised phase-variable, cytosine-specific Type III DNA methyltransferase. Phase variation of distinct Type III DNA methyltransferase in A. pleuropneumoniae results in the regulation of distinct phasevarions, and in multiple phenotypic differences relevant to pathobiology. Our characterisation of these newly described phasevarions in A. pleuropneumoniae will aid in the selection of stably expressed antigens, and direct and inform development of a rationally designed subunit vaccine against this major veterinary pathogen.

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae during a natural infection in pigs

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the etiological agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, a respiratory disease which causes great economic losses worldwide. Many virulence factors are involved in the pathogenesis, namely capsular polysaccharides, RTX toxins, LPS and many iron acquisition systems. In order to identify genes that are expressed in vivo during a natural infection, we undertook transcript profiling experiments with an A. pleuropneumoniae DNA microarray, after recovery of bacterial mRNAs from serotype 5b-infected porcine lungs. Comparative Genomic Hybridizations between Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5b strain L20 (ref) and serotype 5b fresh field isolate 896-07, recovered from infected pig lung tissues following natural acute infection. Two condition transcript profiling experiments : infectious 5b field strain isolated directly from lungs of naturally deceased pigs after acute infection vs infectious 5b field strain grown in BHI broth to an OD600 of 0.300.

A whole virion vaccine for COVID-19 produced via a novel inactivation method: results from animal challenge model studies

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic has generated intense interest in the rapid development and evaluation of vaccine candidates for this disease and other emerging diseases. Several novel methods for preparing vaccine candidates are currently undergoing clinical evaluation in response to the urgent need to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In many cases, these methods rely on new approaches for vaccine production and immune stimulation. We report on the use of a novel method (SolaVAXTM) for production of an inactivated vaccine candidate and the testing of that candidate in a hamster animal model for its ability to prevent infection upon challenge with SARS-CoV-2 virus. The studies employed in this work included an evaluation of the levels of neutralizing antibody produced post-vaccination, levels of specific antibody sub-types to RBD and spike protein that were generated, evaluation of viral shedding post-challenge, flow cytometric and single cell sequencing data on cellular fractions and histopathological evaluation of tissues post-challenge. The results from this study provide insight into the immunological responses occurring as a result of vaccination with the proposed vaccine candidate and the impact that adjuvant formulations, specifically developed to promote Th1 type immune responses, have on vaccine efficacy and protection against infection following challenge with live SARS-CoV-2. This data may have utility in the development of effective vaccine candidates broadly. Furthermore, the results suggest that preparation of a whole virion vaccine for COVID-19 using this specific photochemical method may have utility in the preparation of one such vaccine candidate.

De novo sequencing of an unknown monoclonal antibody using BU-MS and elucidation of the neutralizing antibody-Streptolysin O complex via cross-linking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry

Project description:The identification of protective epitopes in bacterial pathogens using mass spectrometry proteomics is essential for advancing vaccine design, especially against the backdrop of increasing antibiotic resistance. Our study introduces an innovative strategy, leveraging multi-modal mass spectrometry techniques, to decode the interaction between a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (nAb) and the Streptolysin O (SLO) toxin from Streptococcus pyogenes. By integrating XL-MS, HDX-MS, and computational modeling, we successfully identified and characterized a conserved protective epitope within SLO, providing critical insights for vaccine development. Utilizing a novel nAb sequenced through de novo bottom-up shotgun MS, we explored its binding mechanism and interaction with the SLO antigen with structural proteomics such as XL-MS and HDX-MS. This study not only clarifies the conformational epitope structure but also illuminated the antibody's unique protective mechanism mode. The epitope's high conservation (near 100%) across various S. pyogenes strains underscores its potential as a universal target for vaccine strategies. Additionally, our approach overcomes traditional limitations in epitope mapping, showcasing the power of mass spectrometry in resolving challenging antibody-antigen interfaces. Our findings represent a significant leap in understanding bacterial pathogenesis and immune defense, laying the groundwork for designing next-generation vaccines. The data generated from this study can guide the development of targeted therapies and vaccines, offering new solutions to combat severe streptococcal infections.

Effects of two-component system NarQ/P deletion on gene expression of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in nitrate-rich anaerobic growth

Project description:Nitrate metabolism is an adaptation mechanism used by many bacteria for survival under anaerobic environments. As a by-product of inflammation, nitrate is used by the intestinal bacterial pathogens to enable gut infection. However, the responses of bacterial respiratory pathogens to nitrate are less well understood. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important bacterial respiratory pathogen of swine. Previous studies have suggested that adaptation of A. pleuropneumoniae to anaerobiosis is important for infection. In this work, A. pleuropneumoniae growth and pathogenesis in response to the nitrate were investigated. Nitrate significantly promoted A. pleuropneumoniae growth under anaerobic condition in vitro and lethality in mice. By using narQ and narP deletion mutants, and single-residue mutation complementary strains of ΔnarQ, the two-component system NarQ/P were confirmed to be critical for nitrate induced growth, with Arg50 in NarQ as an essential functional residue. Transcriptome analysis showed that nitrate up-regulated multiple energy-generating pathways, including nitrate metabolism, mannose and pentose metabolism and glycerolipid metabolism via the regulation of NarQ/P. Furthermore, narQ, narP and its target gene encoding the nitrate reductase Nap contributed to the pathogenicity of A. pleuropneumoniae. The Nap inhibitor tungstate significantly reduced the survival of A. pleuropneumoniae in vivo, suggesting that Nap is a potential drug target. These results give new insights into how the respiratory pathogen A. pleuropneumoniae utilizes alternative electron acceptor nitrate to overcome the hypoxia microenvironment, which can occur in the inflammatory or necrotic infected tissues.

Transcriptomic profiling of rhesus macaques vaccinated with Ad26/ALVAC+gp120 or DNA/ALVAC+gp120

Project description:We contrasted innate and adaptive immune responses of HIV vaccine candidates of varying efficacy in macaques that shared the ALVAC+gp120 protein boost with an ALVAC, DNA or Ad26 prime modality. The vaccine efficacies of the DNA/ALVAC+gp120 and ALVAC/ALVAC+gp120 vaccine regimens, both protective, were associated with qualitative temporal-spatial differences in the innate CD14+ and CD16+ cells in blood and tissues. The activation of hypoxia and the inflammasome in CD14+ DR+ CD16- classical monocytes and CD4+ Th2 responses correlated with a decreased risk of SIVmac251 acquisition. CD4+ Th2 cells, in turn, correlated with mucosal NKp44+ cells and mucosal protective antibodies to V2. In contrast, the Ad26/ALVAC+gp120 vaccine resulted in increased de novo differentiated CX3CR1+ CD163+ macrophages in lymph nodes, increased CD4+ Th17 cells in blood and rectal mucosa, and a lack vaccine efficacy. These data posit that the engagement of classical monocytes and inflammasome activation is central for the elicitation of protective innate and adaptive responses by the ALVAC-based HIV vaccine platform.

Transcript profiling in A. pleuropneumoniae under iron restriction

Project description:To better understand effects of iron starvation on A. pleuropneumoniae and to identify new potential vaccine targets, we conducted transcript profiling using a DNA microarray containing all 2025 ORFs of the genome of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 5b strain L20. Upon comparing growth of this pathogen in iron-sufficient versus iron-depleted medium, 210 genes were identified as being differentially expressed. Some genes (92) were identified as being up-regulated; many have confirmed or putative roles in iron acquisition, such as the genes coding for two TonB energy-transducing proteins and the hemoglobin receptor HgbA. Transcript profiling also led to identification of some new iron acquisition systems of A. pleuropneumoniae. Keywords: stress respsonse
