Abstract
Periodontitis is a prevalent polymicrobial disease. It damages soft tissues and alveolar bone, and causes a significant public-health burden. Development of an advanced therapeutic approach and exploration of vaccines against periodontitis hold promise as potential treatment avenues. Clinical trials for a periodontitis vaccine are lacking. Therefore, it is crucial to address the urgent need for developing strategies to implement vaccines at the primary level of prevention in public health. A deep understanding of the principles and mechanisms of action of vaccines plays a crucial role in the successful development of vaccines and their clinical translation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of potential directions for the development of highly efficacious periodontitis vaccines. In addition, we address the limitations of these endeavors and explore future possibilities for the development of an efficacious vaccine against periodontitis.

Subcutaneous immunisation with zymosan generates mucosal IgA-eliciting memory and protects mice from heterologous influenza virus infection. Int Immunol 2023; 35:377-386. [PMID: 37140172 DOI: 10.1093/intimm/dxad013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant isotype of antibodies and provides a first line of defense at the mucosa against pathogens invading the host. It has been widely accepted that the mucosal IgA response provided by vaccination requires mucosal inoculation, and intranasal inoculation has been proposed for vaccines against influenza virus. Considering the difficulty of intranasal vaccination in infants or elderly people, however, parenteral vaccination that provides the mucosal IgA response is desirable. Here, we demonstrate that subcutaneous immunisation with zymosan, a yeast cell wall constituent known to be recognised by Dectin-1 and TLR2, potentiates the production of antigen-specific IgA antibodies in the sera and airway mucosa upon intranasal antigen challenge. We confirmed that the antigen-specific IgA-secreting cells accumulated in the lung and nasal-associated lymphoid tissues after the antigen challenge. Such an adjuvant effect of zymosan in the primary immunisation for the IgA response depended on Dectin-1 signalling, but not on TLR2. The IgA response to the antigen challenge required both antigen-specific memory B and T cells, and the generation of memory T cells, but not memory B cells, depended on zymosan as an adjuvant. Finally, we demonstrated that subcutaneous inoculation of inactivated influenza virus with zymosan, but not with alum, mostly protected the mice from infection with a lethal dose of a heterologous virus strain. These data suggest that zymosan is a possible adjuvant for parenteral immunisation that generates memory IgA responses to respiratory viruses such as influenza virus.

Human salivary protein-derived peptides specific-salivary SIgA antibodies enhanced by nasal double DNA adjuvant in mice play an essential role in preventing Porphyromonas gingivalis colonization: an in-vitro study. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:123. [PMID: 36829152 PMCID: PMC9950703 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-02821-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously showed that fimbriae-bore from Poryphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), one of the putative periodontopathogenic bacteria specifically bound to a peptide domain (stat23, prp21) shared on statherin or acidic proline-rich protein 1 (PRP1) molecule of human salivary proteins (HSPs). Here, we investigated whether the nasal administration of DNA plasmid expressing Flt3 ligand (pFL) and CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 1826 as double DNA adjuvant (dDA) with stat23 and prpr21 induces antigen (Ag)-specific salivary secretory IgA (SIgA) antibodies (Abs) in mice. Further, we examined that stat23- and prpr21-specific salivary SIgA Abs induced by dDA have an impact on Pg-binding to human whole saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads (wsHAPs). MATERIAL AND METHODS C57BL/6N mice were nasally immunized with dDA plus sta23 or/and prp21 peptide as Ag four times at weekly intervals. Saliva was collected one week after the final immunization and was subjected to Ag-specific ELISA. To examine the functional applicability of Ag-specific SIgA Abs, SIgA-enriched saliva samples were subjected to Pg binding inhibition assay to wsHAPs. RESULTS Significantly elevated levels of salivary SIgA Ab to stat23 or prp21 were seen in mice given nasal stat23 or prp21 with dDA compared to those in mice given Ag alone. Of interest, mice nasally given the mixture of stat23 and prp21 as double Ags plus dDA, resulted in both stat23- and prp21-specific salivary SIgA Ab responses, which are mediated through significantly increased numbers of CD11c+ dendritic cell populations and markedly elevated Th1 and Th2 cytokines production by CD4+ T cells in the mucosal inductive and effector tissues. The SIgA Ab-enriched saliva showed significantly reduced numbers of live Pg cells binding to wsHAPs as compared with those in mice given double Ags without dDA or naïve mice. Additionally, saliva from IgA-deficient mice given nasal double Ags plus dDA indicated no decrease of live Pg binding to wsHAPs. CONCLUSION These findings show that HSP-derived peptides-specific salivary SIgA Abs induced by nasal administration of stat23 and prp21 peptides plus dDA, play an essential role in preventing Pg attachment and colonization on the surface of teeth, suggesting a potency that the SIgA may interrupt and mask fimbriae-binding domains in HSPs on the teeth.

Abstract
Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and several other pathogenic microorganisms usually infect the host via the surface cells of respiratory mucosa. Nasal vaccination could provide a strong mucosal and systemic immunity to combat these infections. The intranasal route of vaccination offers the advantage of easy accessibility over the injection administration. Therefore, nasal immunization is considered a promising strategy for disease prevention, particularly in the case of infectious diseases of the respiratory system. The development of a nasal vaccine, particularly the strategies of adjuvant and antigens design and optimization, enabling rapid induction of protective mucosal and systemic responses against the disease. In recent times, the development of efficacious nasal vaccines with an adequate safety profile has progressed rapidly, with effective handling and overcoming of the challenges encountered during the process. In this context, the present report summarizes the most recent findings regarding the strategies used for developing nasal vaccines as an efficient alternative to conventional vaccines.

Pan-Genome Analysis of Oral Bacterial Pathogens to Predict a Potential Novel Multi-Epitopes Vaccine Candidate. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19148408.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, mainly present in the oral cavity and causes periodontal infections. Currently, no licensed vaccine is available against P. gingivalis and other oral bacterial pathogens. To develop a vaccine against P. gingivalis, herein, we applied a bacterial pan-genome analysis (BPGA) on the bacterial genomes that retrieved a total number of 4908 core proteins, which were further utilized for the identification of good vaccine candidates. After several vaccine candidacy analyses, three proteins, namely lytic transglycosylase domain-containing protein, FKBP-type peptidyl-propyl cis-trans isomerase and superoxide dismutase, were shortlisted for epitopes prediction. In the epitopes prediction phase, different types of B and T-cell epitopes were predicted and only those with an antigenic, immunogenic, non-allergenic, and non-toxic profile were selected. Moreover, all the predicted epitopes were joined with each other to make a multi-epitopes vaccine construct, which was linked further to the cholera toxin B-subunit to enhance the antigenicity of the vaccine. For downward analysis, a three dimensional structure of the designed vaccine was modeled. The modeled structure was checked for binding potency with major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I), major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) immune cell receptors which revealed that the designed vaccine performed proper binding with respect to immune cell receptors. Additionally, the binding efficacy of the vaccine was validated through a molecular dynamic simulation that interpreted strong intermolecular vaccine-receptor binding and confirmed the exposed situation of vaccine epitopes to the host immune system. In conclusion, the study suggested that the model vaccine construct has the potency to generate protective host immune responses and that it might be a good vaccine candidate for experimental in vivo and in vitro studies.

CpG immunostimulatory oligodeoxynucleotide 1826 as a novel nasal ODN adjuvant enhanced the protective efficacy of the periodontitis gene vaccine in a periodontitis model in SD rats. BMC Oral Health 2021; 21:403. [PMID: 34399747 PMCID: PMC8369760 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-021-01763-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated that nasal administration of periodontitis gene vaccine (pVAX1-HA2-fimA) or pVAX1-HA2-fimA plus IL-15 as adjuvant provoked protective immunity in the periodontal tissue of SD rats. This study evaluated the immune effect of pVAX1-HA2-fimA plus CpG-ODN 1826 as an adjuvant in the SD rat periodontitis models to improve the efficacy of the previously used vaccine. METHODS Periodontitis was induced in maxillary second molars in SD rats receiving a ligature and infected with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Forty-two SD rats were randomly assigned to six groups: A, control without P. gingivalis; B, P. gingivalis with saline; C, P. gingivalis with pVAX1; D, P. gingivalis with pVAX1-HA2-fimA; E, P. gingivalis with pVAX1-HA2-fimA/IL-15; F, P. gingivalis with pVAX1-HA2-fimA+CpG ODN 1826 (30 µg). The levels of FimA-specific and HA2-specific secretory IgA antibodies in the saliva of rats were measured by ELISA. The levels of COX-2 and RANKL were detected by immunohistochemical assay. Morphometric analysis was used to evaluate alveolar bone loss. Major organs were observed by HE staining. RESULTS 30 μg could be the optimal immunization dose for CpG-ODN 1826 and the levels of SIgA antibody were consistently higher in the pVAX1-HA2-fimA+CpG-ODN 1826 (30 µg) group than in the other groups during weeks 1-8 (P < 0.05, except week 1 or 2). Morphometric analysis demonstrated that pVAX1-HA2-fimA+CpG-ODN 1826 (30 µg) significantly reduced alveolar bone loss in ligated maxillary molars in group F compared with groups B-E (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical assays revealed that the levels of COX-2 and RANKL were significantly lower in group F compared with groups B-E (P < 0.05). HE staining results of the major organs indicated that pVAX1-HA2-fimA with or without CpG-ODN 1826 was not toxic for in vivo use. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that CpG-ODN 1826 (30 µg) could be used as an effective and safe mucosal adjuvant for pVAX1-HA2-fimA in SD rats since it could elicit mucosal SIgA responses and modulate COX-2 and RANKL production during weeks 1-8, thereby inhibiting inflammation and decreasing bone loss.
