Abstract
Mucosal immunization is a powerful weapon against viral infection. In this paper, large pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (LMSN) with different particle sizes were synthesized for loading influenza split vaccine (SV) to explore the effect of nanoparticle sizes on mucosal immunization and adjuvant efficacy. Interestingly, it was found that among the three particle sizes of nanoparticles, only LMSN-M with around 250 nm could significantly enhance the mucosal immune effect of SV, possessing adjuvant effect. The results indicated that particle size affected the adjuvant effect of LMSN. There was no apparent difference in vaccine loading capacity of LMSN with different particle sizes, but the release of SV depended on the pore length of LMSN. The adjuvant effect of LMSN-M was attributed to its higher cellular uptake performance, intestine absorption and transport efficiency, and the ability to stimulate the maturation of dendritic cells. Simultaneously, compared with LMSN-S and LMSN-L, the more retention of LMSN-M in mesenteric lymph nodes increased the chance of interaction between vaccine and immune system, resulting in the enhanced immunity. This is the first time to study the impact of particle size of LMSN adjuvant on improving mucosal immunity of oral influenza vaccine, and the present work provides a scientific reference for adjuvant design of oral vaccine.

Display of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus spike protein B-cell linear epitope on Lactobacillus mucosae G01 S-layer surface induce a robust immunogenicity in mice. Microb Cell Fact 2024; 23:142. [PMID: 38773481 PMCID: PMC11110301 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-024-02409-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) presents a substantial risk to the domestic pig industry, resulting in extensive and fatal viral diarrhea among piglets. Recognizing the mucosal stimulation triggered by PEDV and harnessing the regulatory impact of lactobacilli on intestinal function, we have developed a lactobacillus-based vaccine that is carefully designed to elicit a strong mucosal immune response. Through bioinformatics analysis, we examined PEDV S proteins to identify B-cell linear epitopes that meet the criteria of being non-toxic, soluble, antigenic, and capable of neutralizing the virus. In this study, a genetically modified strain of Lactobacillus mucosae G01 (L.mucosae G01) was created by utilizing the S layer protein (SLP) as a scaffold for surface presentation. Chimeric immunodominant epitopes with neutralizing activity were incorporated at various sites on SLP. The successful expression of SLP chimeric immunodominant epitope 1 on the surface of L.mucosae G01 was confirmed through indirect immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy, revealing the formation of a transparent membrane. The findings demonstrate that the oral administration of L.mucosae G01, which expresses the SLP chimeric immunodominant gene epitope1, induces the production of secreted IgA in the intestine and feces of mice. Additionally, there is an elevation in IgG levels in the serum. Moreover, the levels of cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IFN-γ, and IL-17 are significantly increased compared to the negative control group. These results suggest that L. mucosae G01 has the ability to deliver exogenous antigens and elicit a specific mucosal immune response against PEDV. This investigation presents new possibilities for immunoprophylaxis against PEDV-induced diarrhea.

Abstract
Vaccines are essential tools to prevent infection and control transmission of infectious diseases that threaten public health. Most infectious agents enter their hosts across mucosal surfaces, which make up key first lines of host defense against pathogens. Mucosal immune responses play critical roles in host immune defense to provide durable and better recall responses. Substantial attention has been focused on developing effective mucosal vaccines to elicit robust localized and systemic immune responses by administration via mucosal routes. Mucosal vaccines that elicit effective immune responses yield protection superior to parenterally delivered vaccines. Beyond their valuable immunogenicity, mucosal vaccines can be less expensive and easier to administer without a need for injection materials and more highly trained personnel. However, developing effective mucosal vaccines faces many challenges, and much effort has been directed at their development. In this article, we review the history of mucosal vaccine development and present an overview of mucosal compartment biology and the roles that mucosal immunity plays in defending against infection, knowledge that has helped inform mucosal vaccine development. We explore new progress in mucosal vaccine design and optimization and novel approaches created to improve the efficacy and safety of mucosal vaccines.

Abstract
Despite the current advances in global vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, boosting is still required to sustain immunity in the population, and the induction of sterilizing immunity remains as a pending goal. Low-cost oral immunogens could be used as the basis for the design of affordable and easy-to-administer booster vaccines. Algae stand as promising platforms to produce immunogens at low cost, and it is possible to use them as oral delivery carriers since they are edible (not requiring complex purification and formulation processes). Herein, a Chlamydomonas-made SARS-CoV-2 RBD was evaluated as an oral immunogen in mice to explore the feasibility of developing an oral algae-based vaccine. The test immunogen was stable in freeze-dried algae biomass and able to induce, by the oral route, systemic and mucosal humoral responses against the spike protein at a similar magnitude to those induced by injected antigen plus alum adjuvant. IgG subclass analysis revealed a Th2-bias response which lasted over 4 months after the last immunization. The induced antibodies showed a similar reactivity against either Delta or Omicron variants. This study represents a step forward in the development of oral vaccines that could accelerate massive immunization.

Abstract
Obesity-related diseases are always the major health problems that concern the whole world. Serial studies have reported that obesity development is closely related to the out-of-control leptin encoded by the obesity gene (ob). The latest report declaimed “Less Is More,” a model explaining that partial leptin reduction triggers leptin sensitization and contributes to obesity control. Here, we came up with a novel concept, in vivo protein interference (iPRTi), an interesting protein knock-down strategy for in vivo partial leptin reduction. First, the specific immune response against leptin induced by the oral administration of ob recombinant yeast was confirmed. Subsequentally, leptin resistance was observed in diet-induced obese mice, and oral administration with ob recombinant yeast declined the circulating leptin and reduced significantly the body weight gain. To further investigate whether the iPRTi strategy is capable of obesity management, the diet-induced obese mice were administrated with ob recombinant yeast. All the indexes examined including the circulating leptin, triglyceride, and total cholesterol, as well as food intake and weight gain, demonstrated a positive effect of the iPRTi strategy on obesity control. In short, this study provides a novel strategy for the potential application of recombinant yeast for the therapy of obese individuals with leptin resistance.
