Comparative study of the effects of Montanide™ ISA 763A VG and ISA 763B VG adjuvants on the immune response against Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 134:108563. [PMID: 36717067 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Streptococcus agalactiae is regarded as a major bacterial pathogen of farmed fish, with outbreaks in Nile tilapia causing significant losses. Vaccination is considered the most suitable method for disease control in aquaculture, with the potential to prevent such outbreaks if highly efficacious vaccines are available for use. Several vaccines have been produced to protect against S. agalactiae infection in tilapia, including inactivated vaccines, live attenuated vaccines, and subunit vaccines, with variable levels of protection seen. Two commercial adjuvants, Montanide™ ISA 763A VG and ISA 763B VG, have been developed recently and designed to improve the safety and efficacy of oil-based emulsions delivered by intraperitoneal injection. In particular, their mode of action may help identify and stimulate particular immunological pathways linked to the intended protective response, which is an important tool for future vaccine development. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the potential of two adjuvanted-bacterial vaccines against S. agalactiae (SAIV) comparatively, to determine their usefulness for improving protection and to analyse the immune mechanisms involved. Nile tilapia were divided into four groups: 1) fish injected with PBS as a control, 2) fish injected with the SAIV alone, 3) fish injected with the SAIV + Montanide™ ISA 763A VG, and 4) fish injected with the SAIV + Montanide™ ISA 763B VG. Following immunization selected innate immune parameters were analysed, including serum lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, and bactericidal activity, with significantly increased levels seen after immunization. Cytokines associated with innate and adaptive immunity were also studied, with expression levels of several genes showing significant up-regulation, indicating good induction of cell-mediated immune responses. Additionally, the specific IgM antibody response against S. agalactiae was determined and found to be significantly induced post-vaccination, with higher levels seen in the presence of the adjuvants. In comparison to the protection seen with the unadjuvanted vaccine (61.29% RPS), both Montanide™ ISA 763A VG and Montanide™ ISA 763B VG improved the RPS, to 77.42% and 74.19% respectively. In conclusion, Montanide™ ISA 763A VG and Montanide™ ISA 763B VG have shown potential for use as adjuvants for fish vaccines against streptococcosis, as evidenced by the enhanced immunoprotection seen when given in combination with the SAIV vaccine employed in this study.

JOURNAL OF FISH DISEASES 2023; 46:147-156. [PMID: 36352832 DOI: 10.1111/jfd.13728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GLP) have been shown to possess strong immunoregulatory properties in aquatic animals. In this study, the fragment containing Vibrio harveyi flgJ gene was ligated into pcDNA3.1(+) vector and pcDNA3.1(+)-flgJ was constructed as DNA vaccine. APS and GLP were used as DNA vaccine adjuvants to evaluate the immunoregulatory effect by intramuscular injection to pearl gentian grouper (♀Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂E. lanceolatus). The results showed that pcDNA3.1(+)-flgJ combined with APS or GLP could significantly up-regulate the innate and adaptive immune response in fish, including serum-specific antibody titres, catalase and lysozyme activities. At the same time, DNA vaccine combined with APS or GLP significantly up-regulated the expression levels of CD8α, IgM, IL-1β, MHC-Iα, MyD88 and TLR3 genes in thymus, head kidney, spleen and liver of pearl gentian grouper in comparison with those of the pFlgJ group. After 42 days post-vaccination, V. harveyi was used to challenge pearl gentian grouper by intraperitoneal injection. The relative percentage of survival (RPS) of pFlgJ, pFlgJ +APS, pFlgJ +GLP and pFlgJ+APS+GLP groups were 69%, 81%, 77% and 88%, respectively. These results suggested APS and GLP were potential adjuvants for DNA vaccine against V. harveyi infection in pearl gentian grouper.

Abstract
Vibrio species are important pathogens that affect a wide range of farmed fish. Vaccination is regarded as the most efficacious strategy for fighting bacterial infections. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In the present study, a comparative transcriptome analysis was performed on the spleens from turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) induced by an inactivated bivalent vaccine (Vibrio anguillarum and Vibrio harveyi, IVVah1) at 4 week and 1 day post further challenge. Strong immune responses were induced by the bivalent vaccine, besides differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with adaptive immunity, more innate immunity-related DEGs were detected. At the late stage of vaccination, immune-related molecules associated with pattern recognition receptors, inflammatory factors, complement and coagulation cascade-related components, and antigen processing and presentation were significantly regulated, and some of them were even further up-regulated after the bacterial challenge, indicating the cooperation of multiple immune processes during the vaccine immunization process. In addition to the terms or pathways associated with the immune response, enrichment analysis revealed multiple significantly enriched terms/pathways associated with the response to stimulus/stress, homeostasis, metabolism, and biosynthesis, suggesting that a defensive status was established by the bivalent vaccine. This study furnishes new insights into the internal mechanism of immunity upon a combined vaccine administrating in turbot and lays a foundation for developing highly immunogenic vaccines in teleost.

Abstract
It is estimated that vibriosis account for about half of the economic losses in Asian fish culture. Consequently, the prevention and control of vibriosis is one of the priority research topics in the field of Asian fish culture disease. Relevant measures have been proposed to control some Vibrios that pose a threat to Asian fish culture, but there are currently only a few effective vaccines available to combat these Vibrios. The purpose of our review is to sum up the main prevention methods and the latest control strategies of seven Vibrio species that cause great harm to Asian aquaculture, including Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio mimicus, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio cholerae. Strategies such as antibiotics, probiotics, bacteriophages, antimicrobials from plants and other natural sources, as well as vaccines, are compared and discussed here. We expect this review will provide some new views and recommendations for the future better prevention and control of vibriosis in Asian fish culture.

Abstract
The oral mucosal vaccine has great potential in preventing a series of diseases caused by porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection. This study constructed a recombinant Bacillus subtilis RB with PCV2 Capsid protein (Cap) on its spore surface and cotB as a fusion partner. The immune properties of the recombinant strain were evaluated in a mouse model. IgA in intestinal contents and IgG in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results demonstrated that recombinant spores could activate strong specific mucosal and humoral immune responses. In addition, spores showed good mucosal immune adjuvant function, promoting the proliferation of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and other immune cells. We also found that the relative expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN in the small intestinal mucosa was significantly up-regulated under the stimulation of recombinant bacteriophage. These effects are important for the balance of Th1/Th2-like responses. In summary, our results suggest that recombinant B. subtilis RB as a feed additive provides a new strategy for the development of novel and safe PCV2 mucosal subunit vaccines.

Abstract
Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is the causative agent of visceral granulomas disease (VGD) in large yellow croaker (LYC, Larimichthys crocea) farming. However, multi-antibiotic resistant of P. plecoglossicida creates an urgent need of an efficient vaccine to combat this pathogen. In this study, an inactivated vaccine added polyactin (PA), CpG-riched plasmid (pCpG) and aluminum adjuvant (Al) was developed. As a result, its relative percentage survival (RPS) against P. plecoglossicida were up to 64%. Comparatively, RPS of groups that vaccinated with vaccines adjuvanted with PA and Al or CpG and Al were 49% and 39%. However, an interesting result that the vaccine combined with PA, CpG and Al did not show the strongest activation of total serum protein and antibody levels in serum among three vaccinated groups. According to expressions of some cellular immune related genes, we found that the inactivated vaccine combined with PA, CpG and Al was more likely to induce a cellular immune response rather than humoral immune response. Totally, our study demonstrated that the mixture of PA, CpG and aluminum adjuvant is a potential adjuvant system for LYC vaccine development.

Abstract
Tongue sole tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2) C-terminus derived peptide, TC38, has previously been shown to kill Vibrio vulnificus cells without lysing the cell membrane; thus, the remaining bacterial shell has potential application as an inactivated vaccine. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the immune response induced by the novel V. vulnificus vaccine. The protective potential of TC38-killed V. vulnificus cells (TKC) was examined in a turbot model. Fish were intramuscularly vaccinated with TKC or FKC (formalin-killed V. vulnificus cells) and challenged with a lethal-dose of V. vulnificus. The results showed that compared with FKC, TKC was effective in protecting fish against V. vulnificus infection, with relative percent of survival (RPS) rates of 53.29% and 63.64%, respectively. The immunological analysis revealed that compared with the FKC and control groups, the TKC group exhibited: 1) significantly higher respiratory burst ability and bactericidal activity of macrophages at 7 d post-vaccination; 2) increased alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, lysozyme, and total superoxide dismutase levels post-vaccination; 3) higher serum agglutinating antibody titer with corresponding higher serum bactericidal ability, and a more potent serum agglutination effect, as well as an increased IgM expression level; 4) higher expression of immune relevant genes, which were involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. Taken together, this is the first study to develop a novel V. vulnificus inactivated vaccine based on AMP inactivation, and TKC is an effective vaccine against V. vulnificus infection for aquaculture.

Abstract
Streptococcus agalactiae is one of the most important pathogens infecting tilapia worldwide and causes meningoencephalitis, septicemia and high mortalities with considerable losses. Various types of vaccines have been developed against S. agalactiae infection, such as inactivated vaccines, live attenuated vaccines and subunit vaccines. Bacterial ghosts (BGs) are nonliving, empty cell envelopes and have been reported as novel vaccine candidates. Therefore, the main aims of this study were to develop an S. agalactiae ghost vaccine (SAGV) and to evaluate the immune response and protective effect of SAGV against S. agalactiae with two novel adjuvants, Montanide™ ISA 763B VG and Montanide™ GEL02. Nile tilapia, mean weight 50 g, were divided into four groups as follows; 1) fish injected with PBS as control, 2) fish injected with the SAGV alone; 3) fish injected with the SAGV+Montanide™ ISA 763B VG; and 4) fish injected with SAGV+Montanide™ GEL02. Following vaccination, innate immunity parameters including serum lysozyme, myeloperoxidase, catalase, and bactericidal activity were all significantly enhanced. Moreover, specific serum IgM antibodies were induced and reached their highest level 2-8 weeks post vaccination. Importantly, the relative percent survival of tilapia vaccinated against the SAGV formulated with both adjuvants was 80-93%. Furthermore, the transcription of immune-related genes (IgM, TCRβ, IL-1β, IL-8 and TNFα) were up-regulated in tilapia after vaccination, indicating that both cellular and humoral immune responses were induced by these adjuvanted vaccines. In summary, Montanide™ ISA 763B VG and Montanide™ GEL02 can enhance immunoprotection induced by the SAGV vaccine against streptococcosis, demonstrating that both have value as potential adjuvants of fish vaccines.

Abstract
DNA vaccines have been widely employed in controlling viral and bacterial infections in mammals and teleost fish. Co-injection of molecular adjuvants, including chemokines, cytokines, and immune co-stimulatory molecules, is one of the potential strategies used to improve DNA vaccine efficacy. In mammals and teleost fish, interleukin-34 (IL-34) had been described as a multifunctional cytokine and its immunological role had been confirmed; however, the adjuvant capacity of IL-34 remains to be elucidated. In this study, IL-34 was identified in largemouth bass. A recombinant plasmid of IL-34 (pcIL-34) was constructed and co-administered with a DNA vaccine encoding hypoxic response protein 1 (Hrp1; pcHrp1) to evaluate the adjuvant capacity of pcIL-34 against Nocardia seriolae infection. Our results indicated that pcIL-34 co-injected with pcHrp1 not only triggered innate immunity and a specific antibody response, but also enhanced the mRNA expression level of immune-related genes encoding for cytokines, chemokines, and humoral and cell-mediated immunity. Moreover, pcIL-34 enhanced the protection of pcHrp1 against N. seriolae challenge and conferred the relative percent survival of 82.14%. Collectively, IL-34 is a promising adjuvant in a DNA vaccine against nocardiosis in fish.
