Prostanoids are potent inflammatory mediators that play a regulatory role in the innate immune activation of the adaptive immune response to determine the duration of protection against infection. We aim to quantify the modulation of prostanoids profiles in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated THP-1 cells treated with the novel pertussis antigen BscF. We compared the effect with pertussis antigens present in the current Tdap vaccine to understand the immunomodulatory effect that might contribute to the diminished Tdap vaccine effectiveness. The inflammatory challenge with LPS induced a robust elevation of most prostanoid family members compared to the control treatment. Treatment with BscF and Tdap significantly reduced the LPS-stimulated elevation of prostaglandins (PGs) D2, E2, and F2α, as well as thromboxane (TX) A2 levels. An opposite trend was observed for PGI2, as both antigens accelerated the LPS-stimulated upregulation. Further, we quantified cyclooxygenases (COXs) that catalyze the biosynthesis of prostanoids and found that both antigens significantly reduced LPS-stimulated COX-1 and COX-2, demonstrating that the waning of acellular pertussis vaccines' protective immunity may be due to other downstream enzymes not related to COXs. Our present study validates the potential role of BscF as an adjuvant, resulting in the next-generation pertussis vaccine discovery.
前列腺素是强有力的炎症介质,在适应性免疫对先天免疫的激活中起调节作用,以确定针对感染的保护持续时间。我们旨在定量检测新型百日咳抗原 BscF 处理脂多糖 (LPS) 刺激的 THP-1 细胞中前列腺素谱的调节。我们将其与当前 Tdap 疫苗中的百日咳抗原进行比较,以了解可能有助于降低 Tdap 疫苗效力的免疫调节作用。与对照处理相比,LPS 引起的炎症挑战导致大多数前列腺素家族成员的大量升高。BscF 和 Tdap 的治疗显著降低了 LPS 刺激的前列腺素 (PG) D2、E2 和 F2α以及血栓素 (TX) A2 水平的升高。PGI2 则表现出相反的趋势,两种抗原都加速了 LPS 刺激的上调。此外,我们定量检测了催化前列腺素生物合成的环氧化酶 (COXs),发现两种抗原均显著降低了 LPS 刺激的 COX-1 和 COX-2,表明无细胞百日咳疫苗保护免疫力的减弱可能是由于与 COXs 无关的其他下游酶。我们目前的研究验证了 BscF 作为佐剂的潜在作用,为下一代百日咳疫苗的发现奠定了基础。
