Abstract

To overcome gastric acid degradation and ensure robust immune activation, a novel Pickering emulsion stabilized by poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles was developed for the co-delivery of vaccine antigens and adjuvants via the oral route. Pickering emulsions, stabilized by solid particles, can enhance stability and protect antigens from gastric degradation. We encapsulated a TLR7/8 agonist R848 in PLGA nanoparticles and fabricated Pickering emulsions (R848-PLGA-NP@PE) to boost immune activation, and further prepared model antigen Ovalbumin (OVA) loaded Pickering emulsion formulation (R848-PLGA-NP@PE-OVA) to induce antigen-specific immune responses. R848-PLGA-NPs can improve vaccine efficacy by serving both as a stabilizer and an adjuvant, activating antigen-presenting cells (APCs). R848-PLGA-NP@PE-OVA exhibited a uniform particle size (245 nm), stable zeta potential (-40 mV), and high antigen encapsulation efficiency (>80 %), that were tested in Simulated Intestinal Fluid (SIF) and Simulated Gastric Fluid (SGF). R848-PLGA-NP@PE exhibited enhanced uptake by and activation of dendritic cells compared to control groups. In vivo, R848-PLGA-NP@PE significantly improved CD4 + T cell, CD8 + T cell, and NK cell activation. Notably, granzyme B expression in NK cells reached 2.1 times the level of the PBS group and 1.45 times that of the Free OVA + R848 group. The OVA-specific IgG level in the R848-PLGA-NP@PE-OVA group was approximately 3.9 times that of the PBS group and 2.5 times that of the free R848 + OVA group. Fecal OVA-specific IgA levels were significantly higher than control group. The combined data suggests that Pickering emulsions fabricated with PLGA-NPs are versatile oral vaccine delivery platforms to induce cellular and humoral immune responses.

摘要

为了克服胃酸降解并确保强大的免疫激活,开发了一种由聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物(PLGA)纳米颗粒稳定的新型皮克林乳液,用于通过口服途径共同递送疫苗抗原和佐剂。由固体颗粒稳定的皮克林乳液可以提高稳定性并保护抗原免受胃酸降解。我们将TLR7/8激动剂R848封装在PLGA纳米颗粒中,并制备了皮克林乳液(R848-PLGA-NP@PE)以增强免疫激活,进一步制备了负载模型抗原卵清蛋白(OVA)的皮克林乳液制剂(R848-PLGA-NP@PE-OVA)以诱导抗原特异性免疫反应。R848-PLGA-NPs可以作为稳定剂和佐剂,激活抗原呈递细胞(APC),从而提高疫苗效力。R848-PLGA-NP@PE-OVA在模拟肠液(SIF)和模拟胃液(SGF)中测试时,表现出均匀的粒径(245nm)、稳定的zeta电位(-40mV)和高抗原包封率(>80%)。与对照组相比,R848-PLGA-NP@PE表现出增强的树突状细胞摄取和激活。在体内,R848-PLGA-NP@PE显著改善了CD4 + T细胞、CD8 + T细胞和NK细胞的激活。值得注意的是,NK细胞中的颗粒酶B表达达到PBS组水平的2.1倍和游离OVA + R848组的1.45倍。R848-PLGA-NP@PE-OVA组中的OVA特异性IgG水平约为PBS组的3.9倍和游离R848 + OVA组的2.5倍。粪便OVA特异性IgA水平显著高于对照组。综合数据表明,用PLGA-NPs制备的皮克林乳液是诱导细胞免疫和体液免疫反应的通用口服疫苗递送平台。
