More than half of the world's population is infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which may lead to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and stomach cancer. LeoA, a conserved antigen of H. pylori, aids in preventing this infection by triggering specific CD3+ T-cell responses. In this study, recombinant plasmids containing the LeoA gene of H. pylori are created and conjugated with chitosan nanoparticle (CSNP) to immunize BALB/c mice against the H. pylori infection. We used the online Vaxign tool to analyze the genomes of five distinct strains of H. pylori, and we chose the outer membrane as a prospective vaccine candidate. Afterward, the proteins' immunogenicity was evaluated. The DNA vaccine was constructed and then encapsulated in CSNPs. The effectiveness of the vaccine's immunoprotective effects was evaluated in BALB/c mice. Purified activated splenic CD3+ T cells are used to test the anticancer effects in vitro. Nanovaccines had apparent spherical forms, were small (mean size, 150-250 nm), and positively charged (41.3 ± 3.11 mV). A consistently delayed release pattern and an entrapment efficiency (73.35 ± 3.48%) could be established. Compared to the non-encapsulated DNA vaccine, vaccinated BALB/c mice produced higher amounts of LeoA-specific IgG in plasma and TNF-α in splenocyte lysate. Moreover, BALB/c mice inoculated with nanovaccine demonstrated considerable immunity (87.5%) against the H. pylori challenge and reduced stomach injury and bacterial burdens in the stomach. The immunological state in individuals with GC with chronic infection with H. pylori is mimicked by the H. pylori DNA nanovaccines by inducing a shift from Th1 to Th2 in the response. In vitro human GC cell development is inhibited by activated CD3+ T lymphocytes. According to our findings, the H. pylori vaccine-activated CD3+ has potential immunotherapeutic benefits.
世界上超过一半的人口感染了幽门螺杆菌(H. pylori),这可能导致慢性胃炎、消化性溃疡和胃癌。H. pylori 的保守抗原 LeoA 通过触发特定的 CD3+ T 细胞反应有助于预防这种感染。在这项研究中,构建了含有 H. pylori LeoA 基因的重组质粒,并与壳聚糖纳米颗粒(CSNP)缀合,以免疫 BALB/c 小鼠抵抗 H. pylori 感染。我们使用在线 Vaxign 工具分析了五株不同 H. pylori 菌株的基因组,并选择外膜作为有前途的疫苗候选物。然后评估了蛋白质的免疫原性。构建了 DNA 疫苗,然后将其包裹在 CSNPs 中。在 BALB/c 小鼠中评估了疫苗的免疫保护效果。纯化的激活脾 CD3+ T 细胞用于体外测试抗癌作用。纳米疫苗具有明显的球形形态,体积较小(平均大小为 150-250nm),带正电荷(41.3±3.11mV)。可以建立一致的延迟释放模式和包封效率(73.35±3.48%)。与未包封的 DNA 疫苗相比,接种疫苗的 BALB/c 小鼠在血浆中产生了更高量的 LeoA 特异性 IgG,在脾细胞裂解物中产生了更高量的 TNF-α。此外,接种纳米疫苗的 BALB/c 小鼠对 H. pylori 攻击表现出相当大的免疫力(87.5%),并减轻了胃损伤和胃中的细菌负荷。H. pylori DNA 纳米疫苗通过诱导反应从 Th1 向 Th2 转变,模拟了慢性 H. pylori 感染的 GC 个体的免疫状态。激活的 CD3+ T 淋巴细胞抑制体外人 GC 细胞的发展。根据我们的发现,H. pylori 疫苗激活的 CD3+具有潜在的免疫治疗益处。
