De novo sequencing of an unknown monoclonal antibody using BU-MS and elucidation of the neutralizing antibody-Streptolysin O complex via cross-linking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry

ABSTRACT: The identification of protective epitopes in bacterial pathogens using mass spectrometry proteomics is essential for advancing vaccine design, especially against the backdrop of increasing antibiotic resistance. Our study introduces an innovative strategy, leveraging multi-modal mass spectrometry techniques, to decode the interaction between a neutralizing monoclonal antibody (nAb) and the Streptolysin O (SLO) toxin from Streptococcus pyogenes. By integrating XL-MS, HDX-MS, and computational modeling, we successfully identified and characterized a conserved protective epitope within SLO, providing critical insights for vaccine development. Utilizing a novel nAb sequenced through de novo bottom-up shotgun MS, we explored its binding mechanism and interaction with the SLO antigen with structural proteomics such as XL-MS and HDX-MS. This study not only clarifies the conformational epitope structure but also illuminated the antibody's unique protective mechanism mode. The epitope's high conservation (near 100%) across various S. pyogenes strains underscores its potential as a universal target for vaccine strategies. Additionally, our approach overcomes traditional limitations in epitope mapping, showcasing the power of mass spectrometry in resolving challenging antibody-antigen interfaces. Our findings represent a significant leap in understanding bacterial pathogenesis and immune defense, laying the groundwork for designing next-generation vaccines. The data generated from this study can guide the development of targeted therapies and vaccines, offering new solutions to combat severe streptococcal infections.

An important element of antibody-guided vaccine design is the use of neutralizing or opsonic monoclonal antibodies to define protective epitopes in their native three-dimensional conformation. Here, we demonstrate a multimodal mass spectrometry-based strategy for in-depth characterization of antigen-antibody complexes to enable the identification of protective epitopes using the cytolytic exotoxin Streptolysin O (SLO) from <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> as a showcase. We first discovered a monocl ...[more]

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) as a common complication of diabetes is the primary cause of end-stage renal disease. Sodium butyrate (NaB) is a short chain fatty acid in the metabolic products of intestinal bacterium, and its kidney protective effect has been reported in DN. However, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of NaB on globe transcriptome changes in DN. In our study, eight-week-male db/db mice which were established DN mice were randomly divided into two groups: the DN+NaB group (DN mice treated with NaB, 5g/kg/day) and the DN group (DN mice treated with saline). Also, the normal db/m mice were used as NC group. Further, blood glucose, body weight, urinary microalbumin and urinary creatinine of mice were measured in three groups. Whole-transcriptome analysis was performed by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to evaluate profiling of lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Bioinformatic analysis was performed to predict the potential NaB-related lncRNAs and genes in DN. The expressions of lncRNAs and mRNAs were tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in renal tissues and mesangial cells treated with NaB. The results of the present study demonstrated that NaB ameliorated renal dysfunction in DN mice. Moreover, RNA-Seq results identified that 17 lncRNAs and 180 mRNAs reversely changed in DN+NaB group when compared with those in DN group. Additionally, the integrated co-expression networks of NaB-related lncRNAs revealed these lncRNAs interacted with 155 key mRNAs. The co-expression networks of mRNAs associated to immune response, antigen processing and presentation and acute inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. The qRT-PCR data showed that eight mRNAs and seven lncRNAs were dysexpressed by NaB in DN mice and mesangial cell under high glucose condition. Furthermore, the co-expression network of inflammation related lncRNAs and mRNAs demonstrated that those 17 reversed lncRNAs and 37 mRNAs also play essential roles in inflammatory response. In summary, the present study suggests that NaB ameliorates diabetes induced renal dysfunction and regulates transcriptome changes in DN. NaB related lncRNA-mRNA may play roles in the protective effect of NaB in DN.
