Regulating effects of porcine interleukin-6 gene and CpG motifs on immune responses to porcine trivalent vaccines in mice

In order to develop novel immunoadjuvants to boost immune response of conventional vaccines, experiments were conducted to investigate the regulating effects of porcine interleukin-6 gene and CpG motifs as the molecular adjuvants on immune responses of mice that were co-inoculated with trivalent vaccines against Swine fever, the Pasteurellosis and Erysipelas suis. Synthetic oligodeoxynuleotides containing CpG motifs were ligated into pUC18, forming recombinant pUC18-CpG plasmid. Eukaryotic plasmid expressing porcine interleukin-6 (VPIL-6) were also constructed as molecular adjuvants in an attempt to enhance levels of immune responses of mice co-administered with the trivalent vaccines in this paper. The cellular and humoral immune responses of mice were systematically analysed, and the experimental results were observed that the number of white blood cells, monocytes, granuloytes and lymphocytes significantly increased, respectively, in the mice immunized with VPIL-6, compared with those of the control; the IgG content and titre of specific antibodies to the trivalent vaccine mounted remarkably in the sera from the VPIL-6 vaccinated mice; the proliferation of lymphocytes and induced IL-2 activities were significantly increased in the vaccinated groups. The above-mentioned immune responses of mice co-inoculated with pUC18-CpG plasmid were significantly stronger than those of co-inoculated with pUC18 plasmid, suggesting that the immunostimulatory effect of oligodeoxynuleotides CpG is closely connected with the number of CpG motifs. These results suggest that the porcine IL-6 gene and CpG motifs could be employed as effective immunoadjuvants to elevate immunity to conventional vaccines.     

Effect of transgenic expression of porcine interleukin-6 gene and CpG sequences on immune responses of newborn piglets inoculated with Pseudorabies attenuated vaccine

Porcine interleukin-6 gene and CpG sequences were used as immunoadjuvants to enhance the immune responses of newborn piglets to Pseudorabies attenuated vaccine (PAV). The titer of specific antibodies to PAV, the proliferation of lymphocytes and induced IL-2 activities were all examined to identify the immune response of the piglets. The results showed that the immune responses with CpG ODN and porcine interleukin-6 gene were significantly stronger than routine immunities. The data suggests that porcine IL-6 and CpG motifs could be employed as effective immunoadjuvants to raise the humoral and cellular responses of newborn piglets to Pseudorabies attenuated vaccine.     

Porcine interleukin-2 gene encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles enhances immune response of mice to piglet paratyphoid vaccine

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is vital to elicit and amplify the cellular and humoral immune responses to foreign antigens, which is extensively utilized in the control of infectious disease and treatment of various cancers. Porcine and murine IL-2 genes were, respectively, subcloned into VR1020, designated as VPIL-2 and VMIL-2, and then encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles (CNP) prepared by ionic linkage. The BALB/c mice were intramuscularly co-administrated with chitosan-IL-2 nanoparticles (CNP-IL2) and paratyphoid vaccine to test the adjuvant effect of CNP-IL2. On day 35, the immunized mice were orally challenged with virulent Salmonella. The content of IgG, IgA, IgM, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 and specific antibody titer as well as the number of immunocompetent cells were systematically analyzed in the vaccinated mice. The results revealed that the levels of immunoglobulins, cytokines, the specific antibodies, together with the numbers of lymphocytes significantly increased in vaccinated mice inoculated with CNP-VPIL2 in contrast with those with naked IL-2 plasmids and blank plasmids. The CNP-VPIL2 immunized mice exhibited higher humoral and cellular immune responses, less severe clinical signs and lesions of disease caused by the bacteria than the other groups after challenge. These findings suggest that CNP-VPIL2 has a significant enhancement effect on immune responses of mice, which results in better immunoprotection against Salmonella infection, indicating that CNP-VPIL2 could be employed as an effective immunoadjuvant to elevate immunity of animals to conventional vaccines.

Promotion of immunity of mice to Pasteurella multocida and hog cholera vaccine by pig interleukin-6 gene and CpG motifs

A novel oligodeoxynuleotides containing 11 CpG motifs was synthesized and inserted into the VR1020 plasmid containing pig interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene (VPIL6) to construct recombinant plasmid, VPIL6C. The chitosan nanoparticles (CNP) were prepared by ionic cross linkage to entrap the VPIL6C (VPIL6C-CNP), VPIL6 (VPIL6-CNP) and CpG (CpG-CNP). 42-Day old female mice were divided into four groups and intramuscularly injected respectively with 6 pmol VPIL6C-CNP, VPIL6-CNP, CpG-CNP and VR1020-CNP along with the bivalent vaccines against the Pasteurellosis and hog cholera. The blood was weekly collected from mice after vaccination to detect the changes of immunoglobulins, specific antibodies, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 and immune cells. 28 days after vaccination, the mice were orally challenged with virulent Pasteurella multocida. The results showed that in comparison with those of the control VR1020 group, the content of immunoglobulins, specific antibodies and interleukins significantly increased in the sera from the treated two groups (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the number of lymphocytes and monocytes also remarkably elevated in the treated groups (P<0.05). The immune responses of VPIL6C mice were notably stronger than those of VPIL6 and CpG group. The challenge results proved that the overall immunity was further promoted in the treated mice which resisted the challenge infection; while the control mice manifested evident symptoms and lesions, and died of infection. These suggested that VPIL6C-CNP could better promote the immunity and resistance of mice against Pasteurellosis than VPIL6-CNP and CpG-CNP, and facilitate the development of effective adjuvant to enhance the immunity of animal against infection.

CpG oligodeoxynucleotides augment the immune responses of piglets to swine Pasteurella multocida living vaccine in vivo

Oligodeoxynucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG ODN) prevent development of T-helper type 2 (Th2) immune response and reverse established allergic responses in mouse models. However, little work on immune responses in piglets has been conducted in vivo. In this report, the ability of a porcine-specific CpG ODN to act as an immunostimulant and enhance immune responses of piglets to swine Pasteurella multocida living vaccine (SPML vaccine) was determined. The titre of IgG and IgG1/IgG2 isotype to SPML vaccine in serum, the proliferation of lymphocytes, SPML-specific interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-4 production of PBMCs in vitro and IFN-gamma, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-4, IL-10 in piglets serum were examined to identify the immune responses of the piglets. Immune responses of the piglets vaccinated with SPML and CpG ODN were significantly stronger than responses of piglets vaccinated with SPML alone. All these data summarized that immunostimulatory CpG ODN could modulate the immune response towards a Th1-like response when co-administered to piglets during SPML vaccination, which suggested that the therapeutic uses envisioned for these ODNs (as vaccine adjuvants and immunoprotective agents) may be applicable to husbandry animals.     

白细胞介素-12对犬细小病毒VP2 DNA疫苗的免疫增强作用

犬细小病毒编码的VP2蛋白是该病毒重要的结构蛋白和抗原蛋白。利用VP2基因制备的DNA疫苗能够刺激机体产生免疫应答反应。为进一步提高VP2DNA疫苗的免疫应答水平,本研究在小鼠体内尝试了利用白细胞介素12（IL-12）基因表达载体提高VP2DNA疫苗的免疫应答水平。首先采用RT-PCR方法从小鼠脾淋巴细胞中分别扩增IL-12大亚基（P40）和小亚基（P35）cDNA基因;然后在真核表达载体pcDNA3.1A上通过引入内部核糖体进入位点（IRES）序列,分别将P40基因和P35基因插入到IRES序列的上下游,构建成IL-12（P40和P35双亚基）基因表达载体,pcDNA-P40-IRES-P35。将上述表达载体与本室构建的VP2表达载体通过磷酸钙方法转染HEK 293T细胞进行瞬时表达,以确定构建的表达载体能否介导相应基因在真核细胞中进行分泌表达。然后用VP2载体单免疫和VP2载体和IL-12载体共免疫方法对小鼠进行免疫（用pcDNA3.1A作为对照）。免疫后在特定时间通过ELISA方法检测小鼠血清抗VP2蛋白的抗体水平,并通过淋巴细胞增殖实验检测免疫后35d小鼠脾脏淋巴细胞增殖反应。结果表明,扩增的小鼠IL-12P40和P35亚基基因与GenBank的参考序列基本一致。Western-blot检测结果表明,重组IL-12和VP2均能够在HEK293T细胞中进行分泌性表达。ELISA检测结果表明利用IL-2载体与VP2载体共免疫小鼠,其血清中抗VP2的抗体水平明显高于VP2载体单免疫组（P〈0.01）,抗体水平在第35天高达1：5120。淋巴细胞增殖试验结果表明,免疫小鼠的淋巴细胞刺激指数均明显高于对照组（P〈0.01）,VP2载体与IL2载体共免疫组的刺激指数明显高于VP2载体单免疫组（P〈0.05）。由此可见,在小鼠体内,IL-12基因表达载体可明显提高CPV VP2基因疫苗的免疫应答水平。

The purpose of this study was to construct a recombinant Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) expressing the cap protein of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and evaluate its effect on immune response in mice. The cap protein gene of PCV2b strain isolated and stored in the laboratory was amplified by PCR. A recombinant strain pPG-T7 g10-PPT-cap / L. reuteri expressing the cap protein was constructed using L. reuteri of pig origin as the host strain and explored the immune effect of BALB/c mice with recombinant bacteria orogastrically. Indirect ELISA was used to determine the level of antigen-specific IgG antibodies in the serum of mice after immunization, the levels of antigen-specific sIgA antibodies in stool, nasal wash, reproductive tract wash, and intestinal mucus, and the levels of various cytokines in mouse serum; MTT method was used to detect mouse spleen lymphocyte proliferation levels; flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the levels of CD4⁺ T cells and CD8⁺ T cells in mouse spleen lymphocytes; fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the viral load of organs in challenged mice after immunization. The results showed that the serum levels of IgG antibodies in the mice of the oral immune recombinant strain group (OIG) were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01); the levels of sIgA antibodies in the stool, nasal wash, reproductive tract wash, and intestinal mucus of the mice in OIG were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01); Compared with the control group, the levels of cytokines in the serum of OIG were as follows: The levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-12 increased, the levels of IL-10 decreased, and the levels of IFN-α did not change significantly; Incubation of PCV2 and mouse spleen lymphocytes in vitro showed that the proliferation stimulating index of spleen lymphocytes in OIG was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01); FCM results showed that CD4⁺ T cells and CD8⁺ T cells were higher than those of the control group; the results of fluorescent quantitative PCR showed that compared with the control group, the viral load in the OIG was significantly lower than that of the control group. In summary, the recombinant L. reuteri expressing the PCV2 cap protein were successfully constructed, and the constructed recombinant L. reuteri can stimulate mice to produce humoral and cellular immune responses after oragastrical immunization, and can exert a certain immune protection effect.

Induction of Th1 immune responses to Japanese cedar pollen allergen (Cry j 1) in mice immunized with Cry j 1 conjugated with CpG oligodeoxynucleotide

We determined whether a major Japanese cedar pollen allergen (Cry j 1) conjugated with CpG oligodeoxynucleotide would enhance allergen-specific Th1 responses in mice. Cry j 1 conjugated with CpG (Cry j 1-CpG) induced IL-12 in the spleen cells of naïve mice. Cry j 1-CpG immunization of BALB/c mice suppressed anti-Cry j 1 IgE response and enhanced anti-Cry j 1 IgG_2a to subsequent Cry j 1 and alum adjuvant injection. CD4⁺T cells isolated from the spleens in mice immunized with Cry j 1-CpG produced higher IFN-γ levels than did CD4⁺T cells obtained from mice as negative controls. Our results suggested that Cry j 1-CpG immunization can induce Cry j 1-specific Th1 immune responses, thereby inhibiting IgE response to the pollen allergen.
