Live attenuated bacteria are promising candidates for mucosal vaccine delivery due to their ability to elicit robust immune responses. FimH is the adhesion protein of type 1 fimbriae, which is used as mucosal adjuvants. This study aims to develop a novel attenuated live bacterial vector via fimbriae recovery on Methods: We generated pBAD-Fim/FWL01 by deleting IS elements in the fimbrial cluster of 2a strain T32. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a mannose-sensitive agglutination assay were used to confirm that type 1 fimbriae were displayed on the recombinant strain. We then evaluated the immune induction of pBAD-Fim/FWL01 in J774A.1 murine macrophages and mice. Additionally, we used pBAD-Fim/FWL01 to deliver the neutrophil-activating protein A subunit (NapA) to assess immunogenicity.
Functional type 1 fimbriae on pBAD-Fim/FWL01 were confirmed using TEM and mannose-sensitive agglutination assays. Transcriptome analysis, qRT-PCR, and ELISA assays revealed that pBAD-Fim/FWL01 significantly stimulated mouse macrophages to release cytokines IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10, inducing an immune response. Orally administrated pBAD-Fim-trc-napA-His/FWL01 elicited significant mucosal and humoral immune responses.
The strain pBAD-Fim/FWL01, which expresses type 1 fimbriae, holds promise for development as an attenuated bacterial vaccine vehicle.
减毒活细菌因其能够引发强烈的免疫反应,是黏膜疫苗递送的有前景的候选物。FimH是1型菌毛的粘附蛋白,可作为黏膜佐剂。本研究旨在通过菌毛回收开发一种新型减毒活细菌载体。方法:我们通过删除2a菌株T32菌毛簇中的插入序列元件构建了pBAD-Fim/FWL01。使用透射电子显微镜(TEM)和甘露糖敏感凝集试验来确认重组菌株上展示了1型菌毛。然后我们评估了pBAD-Fim/FWL01在J774A.1小鼠巨噬细胞和小鼠中的免疫诱导作用。此外,我们使用pBAD-Fim/FWL01递送中性粒细胞激活蛋白A亚基(NapA)来评估免疫原性。结果:使用TEM和甘露糖敏感凝集试验确认了pBAD-Fim/FWL01上功能性1型菌毛的存在。转录组分析、qRT-PCR和ELISA试验表明,pBAD-Fim/FWL01显著刺激小鼠巨噬细胞释放细胞因子IL-1α、IL-1β、IL-6和IL-10,诱导免疫反应。口服给予pBAD-Fim-trc-napA-His/FWL01引发了显著的黏膜和体液免疫反应。结论:表达1型菌毛的菌株pBAD-Fim/FWL01有望开发成为一种减毒细菌疫苗载体。
