Abstract

Epitope vaccine is a promising option for prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination against Helicobacter pylori infection. Urease is an essential virulence factor and colonization factor for H. pylori. In this study, we constructed a multi-epitope vaccine named CTB-UE with mucosal adjuvant cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) and tandem copies of Th and B cell epitopes from H. pylori urease A and B subunits. The immunogenicity, specificity, ability to induce neutralizing antibodies against H. pylori urease, and prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of the CTB-UE vaccine were evaluated in BALB/c mice model after purification. The experimental results indicated that CTB-UE could induce comparatively high levels of specific antibodies against native H. pylori urease, UreA, UreB, or the selected B cell epitopes UreA₁₈₃₋₂₀₃ and UreB₃₂₇₋₃₃₄ involved with the active site of urease and showed an effectively inhibitory effect on the enzymatic activity of urease. Besides, oral prophylactic or therapeutic immunization with CTB-UE significantly decreased H. pylori colonization compared with oral immunization with rUreB or PBS, and the protection was correlated with antigen-specific CD4⁺ T cells and IgG, IgA, and mucosal sIgA antibody responses. This CTB-UE vaccine may be a promising vaccine candidate for the control of H. pylori infection.

摘要

表位疫苗是预防和治疗幽门螺杆菌感染的一种有前景的疫苗选择。脲酶是幽门螺杆菌的一种必需毒力因子和定植因子。在本研究中,我们构建了一种名为CTB-UE的多表位疫苗,其含有黏膜佐剂霍乱毒素B亚单位(CTB)以及来自幽门螺杆菌脲酶A和B亚单位的Th和B细胞表位的串联拷贝。纯化后,在BALB/c小鼠模型中评估了CTB-UE疫苗的免疫原性、特异性、诱导抗幽门螺杆菌脲酶中和抗体的能力以及预防和治疗效果。实验结果表明,CTB-UE可诱导产生针对天然幽门螺杆菌脲酶、UreA、UreB或与脲酶活性位点相关的选定B细胞表位UreA₁₈₃₋₂₀₃和UreB₃₂₇₋₃₃₄的较高水平特异性抗体,并对脲酶的酶活性显示出有效抑制作用。此外,与用rUreB或PBS口服免疫相比,用CTB-UE进行口服预防或治疗性免疫显著降低了幽门螺杆菌的定植,且这种保护作用与抗原特异性CD4⁺ T细胞以及IgG、IgA和黏膜sIgA抗体反应相关。这种CTB-UE疫苗可能是控制幽门螺杆菌感染的一种有前景的候选疫苗。
