Nanoparticle-based Antigen Favors High Level of Humoral Immune Responses and Increases Antigenicity of Highly Glycosylated Protein

ABSTRACT: Nanoparticles (NPs) have shown great potential as advanced vaccines and immunotherapy platforms due to their size and polyvalent epitopes. However, the immune responses elicited by glycosylated antigens conjugated to NPs with variable antigen densities remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the glycosylation profile of the CD2v ectodomain (ED) of African swine fever virus, identifying 14 potential N-glycosylation sites (PNGS) among 192 residues, which markedly reduced its antigenicity. To enhance the antigenicity of CD2v, we designed three protein-based NPs derived from Ferritin, porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) capsid protein, and AP205 coat protein. Antigens were conjugated to the NP surfaces using the SpyTag/SpyCatcher system. Immunoassays demonstrated that these NPs rapidly induced higher levels of antigen-specific IgG compared to unconjugated antigens, with the effect being most pronounced for the highly glycosylated CD2v. All NPs significantly promoted IgG2a production, indicating a Th1-biased immune response. Furthermore, PCV2 NP reached the popliteal lymph node (PLN) within 5 min post-injection and persisted for 21 days, extensively interacting with B cells. These findings provide the potential of tailoring NP design to enhance antigenicity, providing a foundation for developing glycosylated antigen-targeted vaccines and immunotherapies.

A TLR7-nanoparticle adjuvant promotes broad immune responses against heterologous strains of Influenza and SARS-CoV-2

Project description:Effective vaccines against viruses such as Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 must elicit a diverse repertoire of antibodies against multiple variant virus strains. However, antibody responses to current vaccines often lack cross-reactivity due to immunodominance. Here, we describe the synthesis of a toll-like receptor 7 agonist (TLR7)-nanoparticle adjuvant, TLR7-NP, constructed from TLR7 agonist-initiated ring-opening polymerization of lactide and self-assembly with poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid). TLR7-NP can enhance lymph node targeting, leading to persistent activation of immune cells. When mixed with Alum-adsorbed antigens, this TLR7-NP adjuvant elicited cross-reactive antibodies for both dominant and subdominant epitopes, as well as antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses, in mice. TLR7-NP adjuvanted influenza subunit vaccine successfully protected mice from heterologous viral challenge. TLR7-NP also enhanced the antibody response to a SARS-CoV-2 subunit vaccine against multiple variants and revealed the mobilization of an antiviral response. We further demonstrate enhanced antigen-specific responses in human tonsil organoids with this novel adjuvant.

Proteomic analysis of antigen-capturing nanoparticles

Project description:Immunotherapy holds tremendous promise for improving cancer treatment. Administering radiotherapy with immunotherapy has been shown to improve immune responses and can elicit an “abscopal effect”. Unfortunately, response rates for this strategy remain low. Herein, we report an improved cancer immunotherapy approach that utilizes antigen-capturing nanoparticles (AC-NPs). We engineered several AC-NPs formulations and by using a proteomic approach, we demonstrated that the set of protein antigens captured by each AC-NP formulation is dependent upon NP surface properties.

Sialylation of N-linked glycans influences the immunomodulatory effects of IgM on T cells

Project description:Human serum IgM antibodies are composed of heavily glycosylated polymers with five glycosylation sites on the μ (heavy) chain and one glycosylation site on the J chain. In contrast to IgG glycans, which are vital for a number of biological functions, virtually nothing is known about structure-function relationships of IgM glycans. Natural IgM is the earliest immunoglobulin produced and recognizes multiple antigens with low affinity, whilst immune IgM is induced by antigen exposure and is characterized by a higher antigen specificity. Natural anti-lymphocyte IgM is present in the serum of healthy individuals and increases in inflammatory conditions. It is able to inhibit T cell activation, but the underlying molecular mechanism is not understood. Here we show, for the first time, that sialylated N-linked glycans induce the internalization of IgM by T cells, which in turn causes severe inhibition of T cell responses. The absence of sialic acid residues abolishes these inhibitory activities, showing a key role of sialylated N-glycans in inducing the IgM-mediated immune suppression.

Comprehensive and systematic characterization of novel nanodrug conjugate based on multi-functionalized magnetic iron-nanoparticles conjugated with cisplatin derivative: From the chemistry to the animal model

Project description:Nanodrugs need a completely characterization by both chemically and biological point of view. As nanoparticles have evolved as multi-functional systems combining different custom anchorages, their pharmacological involvements require more comprehensive analysis. In this work, we present the design and synthesis of novel iron-NPs conjugated with a cisplatin derivate and their biological evaluation by quantitative proteomics approches. To decipher detailed insights related to the NP interactions with environment (as protein corona) and pharmacodynamics functionalities of the nanodrugs conjugates, LC-MS/MS analysis was perform to stablish protein profile. Biocompatibility and animal model provided complete insights of the potential of multifunctional iron NPs.

Discovery and application of postnatal nucleus pulposus progenitors essential for intervertebral disc homeostasis and degeneration.

Project description:Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) results from dysfunction of nucleus pulposus cells (NPs) and exhaustion of NP progenitors (ProNPs). Cellular applications of NPs during IDD are currently limited by lack of in vivo studies showing whether NPs are heterogenous and contain ProNPs throughout postnatal stages. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing of purified NPs, we mapped four molecularly defined populations and identified Urotensin II receptor (UTS2R)-expressing postnatal ProNPs, which markedly exhausted during IDD, in mouse and human specimens. Lineage tracing showed that UTS2R+ ProNPs preferentially reside in the NP periphery with its niche factor-Tenascin-C and give rise to functional NPs. We also demonstrate that transplanting UTS2R+ ProNPs with Tenascin-C to injured intervertebral discs attenuates the progression of IDD. Our findings provide a novel NP cell atlas, identify resident ProNPs with regenerative potential and reveal promising diagnostic and therapeutic targets for IDD.

Differential Gene Expression in Daphnia magna Suggests Distinct Modes of Action and Bioavailability for ZnO nanoparticles and Zn ions

Project description:Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are being rapidly developed for use in consumer products, wastewater treatment and chemotherapy providing several possible routes for ZnO NP exposure to humans and aquatic organisms. Recent studies have shown that ZnO NPs undergo rapid dissolution to Zn+2, but the relative contribution of Zn+2 to ZnO NP bioavailability and toxicity is not clear. Gene expression profiling of D. magna exposed to ZnO NPs or ZnSO4 at equitoxic concentrations demonstrated that the particles cause toxicity through a distinct mechanism compared with Zn+2. D. magna were also exposed to a SiO NPs as a particle control at equimolar concentrations. The SiO NPs resulted in few differentially expressed genes and there was very little overlap between the genes affected by the ZnO NPs and the SiO NPs, suggesting that ZnO NPs cause a distinct pattern of differentially expressed genes. In the ZnO NP exposures, effects were observed to genes involved in cytoskeletal transport, cellular respiration and reproduction. Three biomarker genes including a multi-cystatin, ferritin and a C1q containing gene were confirmed as differentially expressed in a specific pattern by ZnO NP and provide a suite of biomarkers for identifying environmental exposure to ZnO NP and differentiating between NP and ionic exposure.

RNA sequencing analysis of embryos exposed to nanoplastics: effects on developmental and transcriptomic alteration

Project description:The increasing prevalence of nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment has raised concerns regarding their potential risks to ecosystems and human health. NP exposure has been shown to interfere with cellular processes; however, their effects on preimplantation embryonic development remain unclear. Given the critical role of zygotic genome activation and early cell cycle progression, disruption during this period can significantly affect embryonic viability. To investigate the molecular effects of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-NPs on early embryonic development, mouse zygotes were exposed to 0.1 or 1 mg/mL PMMA-NPs, and RNA sequencing was performed on four-cell stage embryos. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that 0.1 mg/mL NP exposure affected genes related to DNA damage repair, transcriptional regulation, and cellular homeostasis while 1 mg/mL NP exposure altered the expression of genes associated with apoptotic signaling, cell cycle arrest, and failure of blastocyst formation, suggesting a concentration-dependent effect on developmental progression. Thus, PMMA-NP exposure disrupts early embryonic development by inducing specific transcriptomic changes that potentially affect genome integrity and developmental competency. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying NP-induced embryo toxicity and elucidate the effect of NPs on preimplantation embryo development.

Toxicity and transcriptomic analysis in Hyalella azteca suggests increased exposure and susceptibility of epibenthic organisms to Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Project description:Abstract: Nanoparticles (NPs) are expected to make their way into the aquatic environment where sedimentation of particles will likely occur, putting benthic organisms at particular risk. Therefore, organisms such as Hyalella azteca, an epibenthic crustacean which forages at the sediment surface, is likely to have a high potential exposure. Here we show that Zinc Oxide (ZnO) NPs are more toxic to H. azteca compared with the corresponding metal ion, Zn2+. Dissolution of ZnO NPs contributes about 50% of the Zn measured in the ZnO NP suspensions, and cannot account for the toxicity of these particles to H. azteca. However, gene expression analysis is unable to distinguish between the ZnO NP exposures and Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4) exposures at equitoxic concentrations. These results lead us to hypothesize that ZnO NPs provide and an enhanced exposure route for Zn2+ uptake into H. azteca, and possibly other sediment dwelling organisms. Our study supports the prediction that sediment dwelling organisms are highly susceptible to the effects of ZnO NPs and should be considered in the risk assessment of these nanomaterials. This experiment included four different treatments and an untreated control. Each treatment or control, consisted of ten independent replicates of twenty Hyalella azteca. Of these, six were randomly chosen to be used for the microarray analysis.

Comprehensive analysis of platelet glycoprotein Ibα glycosylation.

Project description:Background: Platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ibα is the major ligand-binding subunit of the GPIb-IX-V complex that binds von Willebrand Factor (VWF). GPIbα is heavily glycosylated, and its glycans have been proposed to play key roles in platelet clearance, VWF binding, and as target antigens in immune thrombocytopenia syndromes. Despite its importance in platelet biology, the glycosylation profile of GPIbα is not well characterized. Objectives: The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze GPIbα amino acid sites of glycosylation (glycosites) and glycan structures. Methods: GPIbα ectodomain that was recombinantly expressed or that was purified from human platelets was analyzed by Western blot, mass spectrometry (MS) glycomics, and MS glycoproteomics to define glycosites and the structures of the attached glycans. Results: We identified a diverse repertoire of N- and O-glycans, including sialoglycans, Tn antigen, T antigen, and ABH blood group antigens. In the analysis of the recombinant protein, we identified 62 unique O-glycosites. In the analysis of the endogenous protein purified from platelets, we identified at least 48 unique O-glycosites and 1 N-glycosite. The GPIbα mucin domain is densely O-glycosylated. Glycosites are also located within the macroglycopeptide domain and mechanosensory domain (MSD). Conclusions: This comprehensive analysis of GPIbα glycosylation lays the foundation for further studies to determine the functional and structural roles of GPIbα glycans.
