Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), composed of lipid A, core, and O-antigen, is a major virulence factor of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, with lipid A being a major stimulator to induce the proinflammatory response via the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-MD2-CD14 pathway. While Salmonella msbB mutants lacking the myristate chain in lipid A were investigated widely as an anticancer vaccine, inclusion of the msbB mutation in a Salmonella vaccine to deliver heterologous antigens has not yet been investigated. We introduced the msbB mutation alone or in combination with mutations in other lipid A acyl chain modification genes encoding PagL, PagP, and LpxR into wild-type S. enterica serovar Typhimurium. The msbB mutation reduced virulence, while the pagL, pagP, and lpxR mutations did not affect virulence in the msbB mutant background when administered orally to BALB/c mice. Also, all mutants exhibited sensitivity to polymyxin B but did not display sensitivity to deoxycholate. LPS derived from msbB mutants induced less inflammatory responses in human Mono Mac 6 and murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells in vitro. However, an msbB mutant did not decrease the induction of inflammatory responses in mice compared to the levels induced by the wild-type strain, whereas an msbB pagP mutant induced less inflammatory responses in vivo. The mutations were moved to an attenuated Salmonella vaccine strain to evaluate their effects on immunogenicity. Lipid A modification caused by the msbB mutation alone and in combination with pagL, pagP, and lpxR mutations led to higher IgA production in the vaginal tract but still retained the same IgG titer level in serum to PspA, a test antigen from Streptococcus pneumoniae, and to outer membrane proteins (OMPs) from Salmonella.
脂多糖(LPS)由脂质 A、核心和 O 抗原组成,是沙门氏菌血清型 Typhimurium 的主要毒力因子,其中脂质 A 是通过 Toll 样受体 4(TLR4)-MD2-CD14 途径诱导促炎反应的主要刺激物。虽然缺乏脂质 A 豆蔻酸链的沙门氏菌 msbB 突变体被广泛研究作为抗癌疫苗,但在沙门氏菌疫苗中包含 msbB 突变以递送异源抗原尚未得到研究。我们单独或组合引入 msbB 突变以及编码 PagL、PagP 和 LpxR 的其他脂质 A 酰链修饰基因的突变到野生型沙门氏菌血清型 Typhimurium 中。msbB 突变降低了毒力,而在 msbB 突变体背景下,pagL、pagP 和 lpxR 突变不会影响口服给予 BALB/c 小鼠时的毒力。此外,所有突变体对多粘菌素 B 敏感,但对脱氧胆酸盐不敏感。LPS 衍生自 msbB 突变体在体外诱导人 Mono Mac 6 和鼠巨噬细胞 RAW264.7 细胞的炎症反应较少。然而,与野生型菌株诱导的水平相比,msbB 突变体并未降低在小鼠中诱导炎症反应的能力,而 msbB pagP 突变体在体内诱导的炎症反应较少。突变体被转移到减毒沙门氏菌疫苗株中以评估它们对免疫原性的影响。msbB 突变单独和与 pagL、pagP 和 lpxR 突变组合引起的脂质 A 修饰导致阴道分泌物中 IgA 产生增加,但仍保留血清中针对肺炎链球菌 PspA 和沙门氏菌外膜蛋白(OMP)的相同 IgG 滴度。
