Role of lipid rafts in innate immunity and phagocytosis of polystyrene latex microspheres

Understanding of the association of phagocytosis of polymers with signaling of innate immunity of macrophages is the major purpose of this study. Polymer conjugates have been utilized for clinical therapy of cancer and infections, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, as effective vectors of drug-delivery systems. They are incorporated through phagocytosis into macrophages and activate innate immunity signaling, which plays a crucial role in its therapeutic and side effects. Macrophage phagocytosis of polystyrene latex microspheres was examined and assayed by treatment of macrophages with the cholesterol depletor methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) or the sphingolipid depletor n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (OGP). Expressions of various mRNAs during phagocytosis were quantified by real-time PCR. Phagocytosis of polystyrene latex microspheres by various macrophages, such as murine monocyte-derived macrophage J774, rat alveolar macrophage NR8383, and murine Kupffer cell KC13-2, was suppressed by treatment with MβCD or OGP in a concentration-dependent manner. The expression of mRNAs of TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and CXCL10 genes induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was not suppressed by treatment with MβCD in J774 cells. Moreover, genes that were induced by LPS were up-regulated even in the absence of LPS by the phagocytosis of polymer conjugates, but such up-regulations were not suppressed by the treatment with MβCD. It was shown that lipid rafts play a significant role in incorporation of polymer conjugates through phagocytosis of macrophages, but their association with signal transduction in innate immunity is very limited.

A single HBsAg DNA vaccination in combination with electroporation elicits long-term antibody responses in sheep

Vaccines continue to be the most cost effective method to reduce the burden of disease in both human and animal health. However, there is a need to improve the duration of immunity following vaccination, since maintenance of protective levels of antibody in serum or the ability to rapidly respond upon re-exposure (memory) is critical if vaccines are to provide long-term protective immunity. The purpose of this experiment was to test the duration of antibody responses and the ability to generate anamnestic responses following a single immunization with a DNA vaccine encoding hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) delivered by a variety of routes. Sheep immunized with the conventional HBsAg subunit vaccine (Engerix-B) as well as sheep immunized with a HBsAg DNA vaccine, combined with electroporation, generated significant antibody responses that were sustained for 25 weeks after primary immunization. At 25 weeks, all experimental groups received a secondary immunization with the HBsAg subunit vaccine. Sheep that received a primary DNA immunization, in combination with electroporation, mounted an anamnestic response similar to the cohort immunized with the HBsAg subunit vaccine. In contrast, animals immunized with DNA vaccines administered without electroporation elicited no detectable memory response. The presence of immune memory was significantly correlated with the induction of a prolonged primary immune response. Thus, a single DNA vaccination, in combination with electroporation, approached the efficacy of the commercial subunit vaccine in the maintenance of long-term protective serum antibody titres and immune memory.     

ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION INDUCED CHANGES IN MACROPHAGE ACTIVITY

Abstract— The effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on macrophage activity was examined. Thioglycollate-stimulated peritoneal exudate cells were collected from adult C57BL/6 mice. Ninety-five per cent of the cells adhering to plastic petri dishes were macrophages as determined by the presence of a non-specific esterase. Adherent cells were exposed to UV radiation of 0.5-13.2 J/m². Viability and phagocytosis were measured at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after exposure. A statistically significant UV exposure-dependent decrease in macrophage viability and phagocytic capacity was observed. Macrophage viability and phagocytosis also decreased as a function of time after exposure to UV radiation.

Orally administered Dendrobium officinale and its polysaccharides enhance immune functions in BALB/c mice

The immunoactivity was evaluated of Dendrobium officinale Kimura & Migo, a Chinese herbal plant, and its crude polysaccharides. Different dosages of D. officinale and its polysaccharides were orally administered to healthy BALB/c mice. The control group was given distilled water. After 4 weeks, immune parameters, including cellular immunity (delayed-type hypersensitivity and natural killer cell activity), humoral immunity (serum hemolytic complement activity), nonspecific immunity (peritoneal macrophage phagocytosis) and interferon-gamma production by splenocytes were measured. The results showed that D. officinale and its polysaccharides can significantly enhance cellular immunity and nonspecific immunity in mice. Humoral immunity was also enhanced after oral administration of D. officinale, but the polysaccharides had no influence. Both D. officinale and its polysaccharides markedly increased IFN-gamma production by murine splenocytes. Six fractions were isolated from the polysaccharides; the molecular weight of the major fraction was 533,700 Da, and composed of mannose, glucose and rhamnose in a molar ratio of 7.3:1.3:1.0.     

A fully synthetic self-adjuvanting globo H-Based vaccine elicited strong T cell-mediated antitumor immunity

Therapeutic cancer vaccines based on the abnormal glycans expressed on cancer cells, such as the globo H antigen, have witnessed great progress in recent years. For example, the keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugate of globo H has been on clinical trials as a cancer vaccine. However, such vaccines have intrinsic problems, such as inconsistence in eliciting T cell-mediated immunity in cancer patients and difficult quality control. To address the issue, a structurally defined fully synthetic glycoconjugate vaccine composed of globo H and monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) was developed. The new vaccine was shown to elicit robust IgG1 antibody responses and T cell-dependent immunity, which is desired for anticancer vaccines, and induce significantly faster and stronger immune responses than the globo H–KLH conjugate. Moreover, it was self-adjuvanting, namely, inducing immune responses without the use of an external adjuvant, thus MPLA was not only a vaccine carrier but also a build-in adjuvant. It was also found that antibodies induced by the new vaccine could selectively bind to and mediate strong complement-dependent cytotoxicity to globo H-expressing MCF-7 cancer cell. All of the results have demonstrated that the globo H–MPLA conjugate is a better cancer vaccine than the globo H–KLH conjugate under experimental conditions and is worth further investigation and development.     

Immune Responses to a Dicistronic Plasmid Expressing HBsAg of Hepatitis B Virus and Interferon-γ

DNA vaccines encoding a viral protein have been shown to induce antiviral immune responses and provide protection against subsequent viral challenge. The present article deals with the efficacy of a DNA vaccine greatly improved by the simultaneous expression of HBsAg and interferon-γ gene. We constructed a dual expression vector pHIN encoding the HBsAg of Hepatitis B virus and murine IFN-γ which are connected with Internal Ribosome Entry Site(IRES). Mice inmunized with this dual expression DNA vaccine exhibited the enhancement of cellular immune response and increased the production of anti-HBV surface antibody, compared with the mice of single gene expression control. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the application of a cytokine gene in a DNA vaccine formulation as an adjuvant can improve its immunigenicity.     

Immunogenicity and Efficacy of Liposome-encapsulated Influenza Split Vaccine in BALB/c Mice

The cellular immunity of current influenza split vaccine is relatively low. It is necessary to develop a novel vaccine to improve the cellular immunity. Thes of this study prepared liposome-encapsulated influenza split vaccine and tested it in BALB/c mice. The mice were immunized once with 4 μg of haemagglutinin of monovalent A/New Caledonia/20/99(H1N1) encapsulated with liposomes or the split virus vaccine only through intrastomach injection. In a comparative study, it was observed that the liposome-encapsulated vaccine elicited a higher neutralizing antibody response, more effectively stimulated spleen cell proliferation, increased cell subsets like CD4 and CD4 /CD8 , and triggered IL-4 and IFN-γ production.
