The implications of administration of mRNA vaccines to individuals with chronic inflammatory diseases, including myocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are unclear. We investigated mRNA vaccine effects in a chronic inflammation mouse model implanted with an LPS pump, focusing on toxicity and immunogenicity. Under chronic inflammation, mRNA vaccines exacerbated cardiac damage and myocarditis, inducing mild heart inflammation with heightened pro-inflammatory cytokine production and inflammatory cell infiltration in the heart. Concurrently, significant muscle damage occurred, with disturbances in mitochondrial fusion and fission factors signaling impaired muscle repair. However, chronic inflammation did not adversely affect muscles at the vaccination site or humoral immune responses; nevertheless, it partially reduced the cell-mediated immune response, particularly T-cell activation. These findings underscore the importance of addressing mRNA vaccine toxicity and immunogenicity in the context of chronic inflammation, ensuring their safe and effective utilization, particularly among vulnerable populations with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
给患有慢性炎症性疾病(包括心肌炎、类风湿性关节炎(RA)和炎症性肠病(IBD))的个体接种mRNA疫苗的影响尚不清楚。我们在植入脂多糖泵的慢性炎症小鼠模型中研究了mRNA疫苗的效果,重点关注毒性和免疫原性。在慢性炎症状态下,mRNA疫苗加剧了心脏损伤和心肌炎,引发轻度心脏炎症,伴有促炎细胞因子产生增加和炎症细胞浸润心脏。同时,发生了明显的肌肉损伤,线粒体融合和裂变因子信号传导紊乱,损害了肌肉修复。然而,慢性炎症并未对疫苗接种部位的肌肉或体液免疫反应产生不利影响;尽管如此,它部分降低了细胞介导的免疫反应,尤其是T细胞活化。这些发现强调了在慢性炎症背景下解决mRNA疫苗毒性和免疫原性问题的重要性,以确保其安全有效利用,特别是在患有免疫介导炎症性疾病的弱势群体中。
