Abstract
Using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum as a food-grade carrier to create non-GMO whole-cell biocatalysts is gaining popularity. This work evaluates the immobilization yield of a chitosanase (CsnA, 30 kDa) from Bacillus subtilis and a mannanase (ManB, 40 kDa) from B. licheniformis on the surface of L. plantarum WCFS1 using either a single LysM domain derived from the extracellular transglycosylase Lp_3014 or a double LysM domain derived from the muropeptidase Lp_2162. ManB and CsnA were fused with the LysM domains of Lp_3014 or Lp_2162, produced in Escherichia coli and anchored to the cell surface of L. plantarum. The localization of the recombinant proteins on the bacterial cell surface was successfully confirmed by Western blot and flow cytometry analysis. The highest immobilization yields (44-48%) and activities of mannanase and chitosanase on the displaying cell surface (812 and 508 U/g of dry cell weight, respectively) were obtained when using the double LysM domain of Lp_2162 as an anchor. The presence of manno-oligosaccharides or chito-oligosaccharides in the reaction mixtures containing appropriate substrates and ManB or CsnA-displaying cells was determined by high-performance anion exchange chromatography. This study indicated that non-GMO Lactiplantibacillus chitosanase- and mannanase-displaying cells could be used to produce potentially prebiotic oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Bacterium-like particles (BLP) are the peptidoglycan skeleton particles of lactic acid bacteria, which have high safety, mucosal delivery efficiency, and adjuvant effect. It has been widely used in recent years in the development of vaccines. Existing anchoring proteins for BLP surfaces are few in number, so screening and characterization of new anchoring proteins are necessary. In this research, we created the OACD (C-terminal domain of Escherichia coli outer membrane protein A) to serve as an anchoring protein on the surface of BLP produced by the immunomodulatory bacteria Levilactobacillus brevis 23017. We used red fluorescent protein (RFP) to demonstrate the novel surface display system's effectiveness, stability, and ability to be adapted to a wide range of lactic acid bacteria. Furthermore, this study employed this surface display method to develop a novel vaccine (called COB17) by using the multi-epitope antigen of Clostridium perfringens as the model antigen. The vaccine can induce more than 50% protection rate against C. perfringens type A challenge in mice immunized with a single dose and has been tested through three routes. The vaccine yields protection rates of 75% for subcutaneous, 50% for intranasal, and 75% for oral immunization. Additionally, it elicits a strong mucosal immune response, markedly increasing levels of specific IgG, high-affinity IgG, specific IgA, and SIgA antibodies. Additionally, we used protein anchors (PA) and OACD simultaneous to show several antigens on the BLP surface. The discovery of novel BLP anchoring proteins may expand the possibilities for creating mucosal immunity subunit vaccines. Additionally, it may work in concert with PA to provide concepts for the creation of multivalent or multiple vaccines that may be used in clinical practice to treat complex illnesses.

Abstract
Bacterium-like particles (BLPs) are hollow peptidoglycan particles obtained from food-grade Lactococcus lactis inactivated by hot acid. With the advantage of easy preparation, high safety, great stability, high loading capacity, and high mucosal delivery efficiency, BLPs can load and display proteins on the surface with the help of protein anchor (PA), making BLPs a proper delivery system. Owning to these features, BLPs are widely used in the development of adjuvants, vaccine carriers, virus/antigens purification, and enzyme immobilization. This review has attempted to gather a full understanding of the technical composition, characteristics, applications. The mechanism by which BLPs induces superior adaptive immune responses is also discussed. Besides, this review tracked the latest developments in the field of BLPs, including Lactobacillus-derived BLPs and novel anchors. Finally, the main limitations and proposed breakthrough points to further enhance the immunogenicity of BLPs vaccines were discussed, providing directions for future research. We hope that further developments in the field of antigen delivery of subunit vaccines or others will benefit from BLPs.

Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) causes acute watery diarrhea and high mortality in newborn piglets. Activation of intestinal mucosal immunity is crucial to anti-PEDV infection. To develop a vaccine capable of stimulating intestinal mucosal immunity, we prepared a bacterium (Lactococcus lactis)-like particle (BLP) vaccine (S1-BLPs) displaying the S1 protein, a domain of PEDV spike protein (S), based on gram-positive enhancer matrix (GEM) particle display technology. We further compared the effects of different vaccination routes on mucosal immune responses in mice induced by S1-BLPs. The specific IgG titer in serum of intramuscularly immunized mice with S1-BLPs was significantly higher than that of the intranasally administered. The specific IgA antibody was found in the serum and intestinal lavage fluid of mice vaccinated intranasally, but not intramuscularly. Moreover, the intranasally inoculated S1-BLPs induced higher levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in serum than the intramuscularly inoculated. In addition, the ratio of serum IgG2a/IgG1 of mice inoculated intramuscularly was significantly higher with S1-BLPs compared to that of with S1 protein, suggesting that the immune responses induced by S1-BLPs was characterized by helper T (Th) cell type 1 immunity. The results indicated that S1-BLPs induced systemic and local immunity, and the immunization routes significantly affected the specific antibody classes and Th immune response types. The intranasally administered S1-BLPs could effectively stimulate intestinal mucosal specific secretory IgA response. S1-BLPs have the potential to be developed as PEDV mucosal vaccine.

The Respiratory Commensal Bacterium Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum as a Mucosal Adjuvant for Nasal Vaccines. Vaccines (Basel) 2023; 11:vaccines11030611. [PMID: 36992195 PMCID: PMC10058227 DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11030611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Previously, we demonstrated that nasally administered Corynebacterium pseudodiphteriticum 090104 (Cp) or its bacterium-like particles (BLPs) increase the resistance of mice against bacterial and viral respiratory pathogens by modulating the innate immunity. In this work, we evaluated the ability of Cp and BLPs to stimulate alveolar macrophages, and to enhance the humoral immune response induced by a commercial vaccine against Streptococcus pneumoniae. In the first set of experiments, Cp or the BLPs were incubated with primary cultures of murine alveolar macrophages and the phagocytic activity, and the production of cytokines was evaluated. The results revealed that Cp and BLPs were efficiently phagocyted by respiratory macrophages and that both treatments triggered the production of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-1β. In the second set of experiments, 3-week-old Swiss mice were intranasally immunized at days 0, 14, and 28 with the pneumococcal vaccine Prevenar®13 (PCV), Cp + PCV, or BLPs + PCV. On day 33, samples of bronco-alveolar lavages (BAL) and serum were collected for the study of specific antibodies. In addition, immunized mice were challenged with S. pneumoniae serotypes 6B or 19F on day 33 and sacrificed on day 35 (day 2 post-infection) to evaluate the resistance to the infection. Both Cp + PCV and BLPs + PCV groups had higher specific serum IgG and BAL IgA antibodies than the PCV control mice. In addition, the mice that were immunized with Cp + PCV or BLPs + PCV had lower lung and blood pneumococcal cell counts as well as lower levels of BAL albumin and LDH, indicating a reduced lung damage compared to the control mice. Improved levels of anti-pneumococcal antibodies were also detected in the serum and BAL samples after the challenges with the pathogens. The results demonstrated that C. pseudodiphteriticum 090104 and its bacterium-like particles are capable of stimulating the respiratory innate immune system serving as adjuvants to potentiate the adaptive humoral immune response. Our study is a step forward in the positioning of this respiratory commensal bacterium as a promising mucosal adjuvant for vaccine formulations aimed at combating respiratory infectious diseases.

Abstract
Direct administration of vaccines to mucosal surfaces, such as via oral or nasal vaccination, represents an attractive alternative, or complement, to current parenteral vaccination because it has a potential to induce antigen-specific immunity both at mucosal and systemic tissues. Although bacterium-like particles (BLPs), peptidoglycan structures derived from lactic acid bacteria, have been investigated as a novel adjuvant for oral or nasal vaccines, it remains unclear whether the administration routes differ the adjuvant effect of BLPs. Here, we showed that the adjuvant effect of BLPs from Lactococcus lactis NZ9000 is greater with the nasal administration than with the oral administration. We conjugated BLPs with Tir, a virulence factor of Citrobacter rodentium, as a model adjuvant-antigen complex, and found that nasal, but not oral, immunization of mice with BLP-Tir induced robust antigen-specific IgA responses at the respiratory and intestinal mucosa, IgG2b-skewed systemic responses, and Th17 cellular responses. As one of the underlying mechanisms, we demonstrated that the nasal administration has a greater delivery efficiency (~1,000-fold) of the BLPs-conjugated antigens to mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues than the oral administration. Furthermore, the nasal, but not oral, administration of BLP-Tir elicited robust innate immune responses that were characterized by the expression of various pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues. Considering these findings together, we anticipate that BLPs can be an attractive novel adjuvant for nasal vaccines targeting not only respiratory but also gastrointestinal infectious diseases.

The Ability of Postimmunobiotics from L. rhamnosus CRL1505 to Protect against Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Pneumococcal Super-Infection Is a Strain-Dependent Characteristic. Microorganisms 2022; 10:2185.

Abstract
Previously, we demonstrated that the non-viable strain Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 (NV1505) or its purified peptidoglycan (PG1505) differentially modulated the respiratory innate antiviral immune response triggered by Toll-like receptor (TLR)-3 activation in infant mice, improving the resistance to primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and secondary pneumococcal pneumonia. In this work, we evaluated the effect of other non-viable L. rhamnosus strains and their peptidoglycans on the respiratory immune response and their impact on primary and secondary respiratory infections. In addition, the duration of the protective effect induced by NV1505 and PG1505 as well as their ability to protect against different Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes were evaluated. Our results showed that among the five selected L. rhamnosus strains (CRL1505, CRL498, CRL576, UCO25A and IBL027), NV1505 and NVIBL027 improved the protection against viral and pneumococcal infections by modulating the respiratory immune response. Of note, only the PG1505 presented immunomodulatory activities when compared with the other purified peptidoglycans. Studies on alveolar macrophages showed that NV1505 and PG1505 differentially modulated the expression of IL-6, IFN-γ, IFN-β, TNF-α, OAS1, RNAseL and IL-27 genes in response to RSV infection, and IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-1β, TNF-α, CCL2, CXCL2, CXCL10 and IL-27 in response to pneumococcal challenge. Furthermore, we demonstrated that NV1505 and PG1505 treatments protected mice against secondary pneumococcal pneumonia produced by different serotypes of S. pneumoniae until 30 days after stimulation with poly(I:C). This work advances the characterization of the protective effect of NV1505 and PG1505 by demonstrating that they increase resistance against the pneumococcal serotypes 3, 6B, 14 and 19F, with an effect that lasts up to 30 days after the primary viral inflammation. The results also confirm that the immunomodulatory properties of NV1505 and PG1505 are unique and are not shared by other members of this species, and suggest the existence of a capacity to stimulate trained immunity in alveolar macrophages.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of surface display technology in therapeutic development and enzyme immobilization. Utilization of lactic acid bacteria in non-GMO surface display applications is advantageous due to its GRAS status. This study aimed to develop a novel, non-GMO cell wall anchoring system for lactic acid bacteria using a cell-surface hydrolase (CshA) from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SK156 for potential industrial and biomedical applications. Analysis of the CshA revealed that it does not contain any known classical anchor domains. Although CshA lacks a classical anchor domain, it successfully displayed the reporter protein superfolder GFP on the surface of several lactic acid bacteria in host dependent manner. CshA-sfGFP fusion protein was displayed greatest on Limosilactobacillus fermentum SK152. Pretreatment with trichloroacetic acid further enhanced the binding of CshA to Lm. fermentum. The binding conditions of CshA on pretreated Lm. fermentum (NaCl, pH, time, and temperature) were also optimized, resulting in a maximum binding of up to 106 CshA molecules per pretreated Lm. fermentum cell. Finally, this study demonstrated that CshA-decorated pretreated Lm. fermentum cells tolerates gastrointestinal stress, such as low pH and presence of bile acid. To our knowledge, this study is the first to characterize and demonstrate the cell-surface display ability of CshA. The potential application of CshA in non-GMO antigen delivery system and enzyme immobilization remains to be tested.
