Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical carrier and a construction method and application thereof, in particular to an intein-mediated nanocarrier module platform and a construction method and application thereof.
  • Vaccines are the most effective and economical means of medical intervention to prevent and control infectious diseases. Attenuated or inactivated pathogens have achieved great success as a traditional classic vaccine, helping humans eliminate smallpox and polio. However, traditional vaccines have potential safety hazards and cannot effectively prevent viruses with high-frequency mutation characteristics, such as HIV and influenza viruses.
  • Subunit vaccines use a certain surface structure component (antigen) of microorganisms to make a vaccine that does not contain nucleic acid and can induce the body to produce antibodies. It has attracted the attention of vaccinologists due to its advantages of easy purification, safety and effectiveness, and stable physical and chemical properties.
  • the subunit vaccine has poor immunogenicity, weak induction of immune response and short duration, which limits its clinical application. With the development of technology, this type of vaccine uses nano-delivery systems and immune adjuvants (referred to as adjuvants) to increase the breadth and strength of the body's immune response.
  • Nano delivery vehicles are usually 5-100nm nanoparticles, which have strong penetrating power and can freely diffuse to reflux lymph nodes where B cells and T cells are located, increasing the probability of antigen being captured by antigen presenting cells (APCs). Nanoparticles have a nanometer size effect, mimic natural pathogens, and are preferentially swallowed by APCs. In addition, nanoparticles promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), promote the secretion of a variety of cytokines, and enhance the immune response of B cells and T cells. In addition, the highly repetitively displayed antigens on the surface of nanoparticles can cross-link B cell receptors, directly activate B cells, and cause high-intensity humoral immune responses.
  • DCs dendritic cells
  • Adjuvants can help immune responses, especially immune enhancers, effectively activate innate immunity and adaptive immunity, and regulate the type, intensity and durability of immune responses. This is because the pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) is highly conserved and easily recognized by the corresponding receptors on natural immune cells. For example, CpG is recognized by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), and Salmonella flagellin protein is recognized by TLR5, both of which can be activated by myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) in DCs The NF- ⁇ B signaling pathway stimulates the release of pro-inflammatory factors and triggers a cascade of immune responses.

  • Salmonella flagellin protein is recognized by TLR5, both of which can be activated by myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) in DCs
  • MyD88 myeloid differentiation factor 88
  • immune enhancers can non-specifically enhance innate immunity and acquired immune response, and therefore may cause systemic inflammation, fever and even hepatosplenomegaly and other diseases.
  • co-localization of immune enhancers and antigens to the same APCs can significantly increase the effective concentration of adjuvants to improve the boosting effect of adjuvants, and reduce the doses of adjuvants and antigens to reduce side effects caused by non-specific immune responses.
  • the modification methods of nanoparticles are gene fusion method and chemical coupling method. Among them, the gene fusion method has high efficiency in loading antigens and adjuvant molecules, convenient operation, and is widely used in vaccine research and development.
  • the loaded antigen may seriously affect the assembly of nanoparticles, leading to the formation of precipitates of recombinant proteins, and a series of renaturation-reassembly is required to re-form nanoparticles.
  • the method of gene fusion is difficult to integrate antigen molecules and adjuvant molecules into the same nanoparticle at the same time.
  • the chemical coupling method can conveniently and polymorphically modify the nanoparticle to make it multifunctional and realize the co-delivery of adjuvant and antigen on the nanoparticle.
  • this method has low efficiency and poor specificity, and side effects are often accompanied by side effects.

Abstract

Plateforme modulaire de nanosupport à médiation par intéine, son procédé de construction et son application. La plateforme modulaire de nanosupport permet de co-administrer un immunopotentialisateur et un antigène sur le même nanosupport, ce qui améliore significativement l'effet d'assistance d'un adjuvant. La plateforme modulaire de nanosupport à médiation par intéine est constituée de nanoparticules polymères auto-assemblées à partir d'une protéine recombinée gbl-intéinec-X par l'intermédiaire de molécules formées par fusion d'une protéine X avec l'extrémité C-terminale d'un adaptateur gbl-intéine. L'extrémité N-terminale de la protéine X se prolonge jusqu'à la surface des nanoparticules.
