BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori), is an established causative factor for the development of gastric cancer and the induction of persistent stomach infections that may lead to peptic ulcers. In recent decades, several endeavours have been undertaken to develop a vaccine for H. pylori, although none have advanced to the clinical phase. The development of a successful H. pylori vaccine is hindered by particular challenges, such as the absence of secure mucosal vaccines to enhance local immune responses, the absence of identified antigens that are effective in vaccinations, and the absence of recognized indicators of protection. METHODS: The DNA vaccine was chemically cloned, and the cloning was verified using PCR and restriction enzyme digestion. The efficacy of the vaccination was investigated. The immunogenicity and immune-protective efficacy of the vaccination were assessed in BALB/c mice. This study demonstrated that administering a preventive Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH Nanovaccine directly into the stomach effectively triggered a robust immune response to protect against H. pylori infection in mice. RESULTS: The level of immune protection achieved with this nano vaccine was similar to that observed when using the widely accepted formalin-killed H. pylori Hel 305 as a positive control. The Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH Nanovaccine composition elicited significant mucosal and systemic antigen-specific antibody responses and strong intestinal and systemic Th1 responses. Moreover, the activation of IL-17R signaling is necessary for the defensive Th1 immune responses in the intestines triggered by Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH. CONCLUSION: Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH is a potential Nanovaccine for use in an oral vaccine versus H. pylori infection, according to our findings.
背景:幽门螺杆菌(H. pylori)是导致胃癌发展和持续性胃部感染的既定致病因素,可能导致消化性溃疡。近几十年来,人们已经开展了多项开发 H. pylori 疫苗的努力,尽管没有一种疫苗能够进入临床阶段。开发成功的 H. pylori 疫苗面临着一些特殊的挑战,例如缺乏增强局部免疫反应的安全黏膜疫苗、缺乏有效的疫苗抗原以及缺乏公认的保护指标。
方法:采用化学方法克隆 DNA 疫苗,并通过 PCR 和限制性内切酶消化验证克隆。研究了疫苗的功效。在 BALB/c 小鼠中评估了疫苗的免疫原性和免疫保护效果。研究表明,将预防性藻酸盐/ pCI-neo-UreH 纳米疫苗直接注入胃部可有效引发强烈的免疫反应,从而保护小鼠免受 H. pylori 感染。
结果:该纳米疫苗实现的免疫保护水平与广泛使用的福尔马林灭活 H. pylori Hel 305 作为阳性对照观察到的水平相似。藻酸盐/ pCI-neo-UreH 纳米疫苗组成引发了显著的黏膜和系统抗原特异性抗体反应以及强烈的肠道和系统 Th1 反应。此外,IL-17R 信号的激活对于藻酸盐/ pCI-neo-UreH 触发的肠道防御性 Th1 免疫反应是必要的。
结论:根据我们的研究结果,藻酸盐/ pCI-neo-UreH 是一种有潜力的针对 H. pylori 感染的口服疫苗纳米疫苗。
