본 발명은 YjeK 유전자가 결실된 살모넬라 티피뮤리움 균주 및 이의 용도에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 신규 살모넬라 티피뮤리움 균주; 및 이를 포함하는 백신 조성물, 면역원성 조성물 및 사료 조성물;에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a YjeK gene-deleted Salmonella typhimurium strain and a use thereof, and more particularly to a novel Salmonella typhimurium strain; And vaccine compositions, immunogenic compositions and feed compositions comprising the same; it relates to.
살모넬라(Salmonella)는 장내세균과에 속하는 그람음성의 통성 혐기성 세균으로, 아포를 형성하지 않는 간균이다. 살모넬라균은 사람뿐만 아니라 돼지, 소, 닭 등을 비롯한 다양한 가축에 감염되어 질병을 유발하는데, 사람에게 감염되어 식중독을 유발하고 동물에게 있어서는 다양한 살모넬라증(Salmonellosis)을 유발하는 병원성 미생물이다. 살모넬라 엔테리카(Salmonella enterica)는 혈청학적 구분에 의해 장티푸스를 일으키는 살모넬라 타이피(Salmonella Typhi), 쥐티푸스의 원인균인 살모넬라 티피뮤리움(Salmonella Typhimurium), 장염균인 살모넬라 엔테리티디스(Salmonella Enteriditis), 가금티푸스의 원인균인 살모넬라 갈리나룸(Salmonella Gallinarum), 추백리 원인균인 살모넬라 플로럼(Salmonella Pullorum) 등의 혈청종을 포함한다. 살모넬라균은 혈청형에 따라 인간뿐만 아니라 가축에게도 질병을 일으킬 수 있는 인수공통 감염원을 포함한다. 살모넬라 티피뮤리움과 살모넬라 엔테리티디스는 인수공통 감염원으로 사람에게 있어서는 식중독의 원인이 되며, 소, 닭, 돼지 등의 가축에 있어서는 살모넬라증(salmonellosis)을 일으켜 급성 또는 만성 장염과 패혈증, 더 나아가 폐렴, 관절염, 유산 등을 발생시킨다. 살모넬라 갈리나룸과 살모넬라 플로럼은 가금 특이적 감염균으로 가금티푸스와 추백리를 일으켜 가금류의 대량 폐사를 유발할 수 있다. 살모넬라 플로럼은 성계에서는 감염되어도 임상 증상이 없으나 부화된 후대 병아리에게 난계대 전염되어 추백리를 일으키며, 생후 1-2주령에서 가장 높은 폐사율이 나타난다. 주로 회백색의 설사 증세를 보이면서 항문을 막아 배분 곤란을 일으켜 복부가 팽창하고, 그로 인한 패혈증으로 폐사한다. 추백리와 같은 경우 상업화된 예방책이 없으며, 감염된 개체의 색출 및 도태를 통해서만 질병의 예방이 가능하다. Salmonella ( Salmonella ) is a gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium belonging to Enterobacteriaceae, and is a bacillus that does not form spores. Salmonella is a pathogenic microorganism that infects humans as well as various livestock including pigs, cows, chickens, etc. to cause diseases. It infects humans to cause food poisoning and causes various types of Salmonellosis in animals. Salmonella enterica is classified by serological classification as Salmonella Typhi, which causes typhoid fever, Salmonella Typhimurium, which is the causative agent of typhoid fever, Salmonella Enteriditis, which is an enteritis bacterium, and poultry It includes serospecies such as Salmonella Gallinarum, the causative bacterium of typhus, and Salmonella Pullorum, the causative bacterium of Chubaekri. Salmonella includes zoonotic agents that, depending on the serotype, can cause disease not only in humans but also in livestock. Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis are zoonotic infectious agents that cause food poisoning in humans and cause salmonellosis in livestock such as cattle, chickens and pigs, resulting in acute or chronic enteritis and sepsis, further pneumonia, It causes arthritis, miscarriage, etc. Salmonella galinarum and Salmonella florum are poultry-specific infections that can cause poultry typhus and chubaekri, which can cause mass mortality in poultry. Salmonella florum has no clinical symptoms even when infected in the sex system, but is transmitted from egg to hatched chicks, causing chubaekri, and the highest mortality rate occurs at 1-2 weeks of age. It mainly shows symptoms of grayish-white diarrhea, blocks the anus, causes difficulty in distribution, expands the abdomen, and dies from sepsis. In the case of Chubaekri, there is no commercialized preventive measure, and the disease can be prevented only through the search and culling of infected individuals.
현재 살모넬라 감염증을 예방 및 치료하기 위해 항생제를 주로 사용하고 있으나 살모넬라는 동물에 감염 시 세포내에 침투하여 증식하고 감염하는 경우가 많아 항생제나 약제, 기타 생균제가 침투하여 작용하기는 어려우며, 최근 많은 분야에서 항생제 감수성에 대한 문제가 발생되고 있어 이에 대한 원인을 항생제 오남용으로 규명하고 항생제를 충분히 사용하지 못하게 되었다. 이에 따라 산업동물의 배합 사료 내에 성장촉진제로 사용하는 항생제를 금지하기 시작하였고, 유럽연합에서는 2006년부터, 우리나라에서는 2011년 하반기부터 항생제 사용을 규제하기 시작하였다. 또한 항생제가 없는 안전한 먹거리에 대한 소비자의 요구가 증대되고 있어 점차 항생제 사용이 줄어들고 있다. 세균을 제어하는 항생제의 사용이 줄어듦에 따라 세균성 질병의 발생이 증가하고 있어 항생제를 사용하지 않고 세균성 질병을 제어하는 방법에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있다.Currently, antibiotics are mainly used to prevent and treat Salmonella infection, but Salmonella often penetrates into cells when animals are infected and proliferates, making it difficult for antibiotics, drugs, and other probiotics to penetrate and act. The problem of antibiotic susceptibility has been occurring, and the cause of this has been identified as the misuse of antibiotics, and antibiotics have not been used sufficiently. Accordingly, antibiotics used as growth promoters in compound feeds for industrial animals began to be banned, and antibiotic use began to be regulated in the European Union from 2006 and in Korea from the second half of 2011. In addition, as consumer demand for antibiotic-free safe food is increasing, the use of antibiotics is gradually decreasing. As the use of antibiotics to control bacteria is reduced, the occurrence of bacterial diseases is increasing, so there is an increasing demand for methods of controlling bacterial diseases without using antibiotics.

모든 실험에서 대조군으로 국내에서 분리된 야생형 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 1120(ST1120)을 사용하였다. 동물 챌린지 실험에서 플라스미드 pBBR1-MCS4로 형질전환된 S. Typhimurium 14028 균주(ST2173)를 사용하였다. 상기 ST2173 균주는 암피실린 내성 유전자를 포함한다. 박테리아 균주는 달리 명시되지 않는 한 필요한 경우 150μg/ml의 암피실린(Duchefa)과 함께 37°C의 Luria-Bertani(LB) broth(Duchefa, Haarlem, 네덜란드)에서 배양되었다. 모든 항생제는 Sigma-Aldrich(St. Louis, MO, USA)에서 구입했다. API 20E 키트(bioMerieux, Inc., Durham, NC, USA)를 사용하여 박테리아의 생화학적 특성을 확인했다. In all experiments, as a control, wild-type Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 1120 (ST1120) isolated in Korea was used. In animal challenge experiments, S. Typhimurium 14028 strain (ST2173) transformed with the plasmid pBBR1-MCS4 was used. The ST2173 strain contains an ampicillin resistance gene. Bacterial strains were cultured in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth (Duchefa, Haarlem, The Netherlands) at 37°C with 150 μg/ml ampicillin (Duchefa) when necessary unless otherwise specified. All antibiotics were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The biochemical properties of the bacteria were confirmed using the API 20E kit (bioMerieux, Inc., Durham, NC, USA).
yjeK 유전자가 결실된 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주는 플라스미드 pTP233, pKD3 및 pCP20을 사용한 λ red 재조합 방법을 사용하여 부위 지정 돌연변이 유발을 통해 생성되었다. 구체적으로, pTP233을 포함하는 ST1120은 yjeK 유전자와 상동인 서열이 측면에 있는 클로람페니콜 내성 유전자 카세트로 형질전환하여 ST2160 균주를 제조하였다. ST2160 균주에서 염색체 yjeK 및 CM 내성 카세트 사이의 상동 재조합은 40 μg/mL 클로람페니콜을 포함하는 LB 한천에 플레이팅한 후 진단 중합효소 연쇄 반응을 통해 확인하였다. pCP20 플라스미드 도입 후 클로람페니콜 감수성 균주를 선택하고, 염색체의 클로람페니콜 저항성 유전자를 제거하여 ST2161 균주를 얻었다. 마지막으로, 42℃에서 클로람페니콜-감수성 균주를 배양하여 pCP20 플라스미드를 제거하고, yjeK 및 CM 카세트의 결실을 진단 PCR을 사용하여 추가로 검증하였다.A ΔyjeK mutant strain in which the yjeK gene was deleted was generated through site-directed mutagenesis using the λ red recombination method using plasmids pTP233, pKD3 and pCP20. Specifically, ST1120 containing pTP233 was transformed with a chloramphenicol resistance gene cassette flanked by sequences homologous to the yjeK gene to prepare ST2160 strain. Homologous recombination between the chromosome yjeK and the CM resistance cassette in strain ST2160 was confirmed by diagnostic polymerase chain reaction after plating on LB agar containing 40 μg/mL chloramphenicol. After introducing the pCP20 plasmid, a chloramphenicol-sensitive strain was selected, and the chloramphenicol-resistance gene was removed from the chromosome to obtain strain ST2161. Finally, the pCP20 plasmid was removed by culturing the chloramphenicol-sensitive strain at 42° C., and deletion of the yjeK and CM cassettes was further verified using diagnostic PCR.

실시예 1. ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주의 생리학적 변화 분석Example 1. Analysis of physiological changes in ΔyjeK mutant strains
yjeK(1,029 bp) 및 efp(567 bp)의 인접한 두 유전자는 시작 코돈 사이에 40bp의 거리를 두고 서로 반대 방향으로 전사된다. 야생형 균주 ST1120의 yjek 유전자는 서열번호 2의 염기서열로 표시되며, λ red 재조합 방법을 사용하여 상기 야생형 yjek 유전자에서 서열번호 1의 뉴클레오티드를 결실시켰다. 즉, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주는 서열번호 1의 뉴틀레오티드가 결실된 yjek 유전자를 포함한다. efp 유전자는 결실 부위 근처에 있기 때문에 efp의 발현을 야생형과 결실 균주 사이에서 비교하였다. efp의 전사는 1yjeK 돌연변이 균주에서 결실에 의해 거의 영향을 받지 않아 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에서 EF-P 활성에 대한 극성 효과의 가능성을 배제했다. Two adjacent genes, yjeK (1,029 bp) and efp (567 bp), are transcribed in opposite directions with a distance of 40 bp between start codons. The yjek gene of the wild-type strain ST1120 is represented by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, and the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 was deleted from the wild-type yjek gene using the λ red recombination method. That is, the ΔyjeK mutant strain includes the yjek gene in which the nucleotide of SEQ ID NO: 1 is deleted. Since the efp gene is located near the deletion site, the expression of efp was compared between the wild-type and deletion strains. Transcription of efp was hardly affected by the deletion in the 1yjeK mutant strain, ruling out the possibility of a polar effect on EF-P activity in the ΔyjeK mutant strain.
Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주의 성장 및 운동성을 분석한 결과는 각각 도 1A 및 B에 나타내었다.The results of analyzing the growth and motility of the ΔyjeK mutant strain are shown in FIGS. 1A and B, respectively.
도 1A 및 B에 나타낸 바와 같이, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주는 야생형 균주에 비해 성장 및 운동성이 현저히 감소한 것을 확인하였다.As shown in FIGS. 1A and B, it was confirmed that the growth and motility of the ΔyjeK mutant strain was significantly reduced compared to that of the wild-type strain.
또한, 분석 프로필 지수(analytical profile index, API) 테스트 결과, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주는 아르기닌 디하이드롤라제(arginine dihydrolase) 및 라이신 디카르복실라제와 관련된 생화학적 활성을 차단하여 돌연변이 균주에서 아르기닌 및 라이신 디카르복실화의 변경된 대사 경로를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.In addition, as a result of the analytical profile index (API) test, the Δ yjeK mutant strain blocked the biochemical activities related to arginine dihydrolase and lysine decarboxylase, thereby reducing arginine and lysine decapsulants in the mutant strain. It was confirmed that it represents an altered metabolic pathway of reboxylation.
LPS 및 OMP 프로파일 분석 결과는 도 1C에 나타내었다.The LPS and OMP profile analysis results are shown in Figure 1C.

한천 플레이트에서 Δ yjeK 균주의 운동성 감소에 따라 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에서 flagellin FliC flagellin FliC의 발현이 야생형 균주보다 감소되고, porin OmpD의 발현이 야생형 균주보다 증가되었다. 또한, 가장 풍부한 OMP 중 두 가지인 OmpA와 OmpD는 Δ yjeK 균주에서 발현의 변화를 보일 것으로 예측되었다.As the motility of the ΔyjeK strain decreased on agar plates, the expression of flagellin FliC and flagellin FliC in the ΔyjeK mutant strain was decreased compared to the wild-type strain, and the expression of porin OmpD was increased compared to the wild-type strain. In addition, two of the most abundant OMPs, OmpA and OmpD, were predicted to show changes in expression in the ΔyjeK strain.
상기 OmpA는 살모넬라 감염에서 강력한 면역원성을 유도하고, 포린 OmpD는 덜 생성되어 산화 분자에 대한 박테리아 투과성을 감소시키고 숙주에서 박테리아 생존을 촉진한다. 포린과 유출 펌프를 형성하는 박테리아 OMP는 투과성을 감소시키거나(포린) 약물 수출을 증가(유출 펌프)함으로써 항생제에 대한 박테리아 내성에 영향을 준다. 따라서 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에서 porin OmpD의 증가가 관찰된바, 항생제에 대한 내성을 추가로 확인하였다. 항생제에 대한 내성을 확인한 결과는 도 1D에 나타내었다.The OmpA induces strong immunogenicity in Salmonella infection, and less porin OmpD is produced, reducing bacterial permeability to oxidizing molecules and promoting bacterial survival in the host. Bacterial OMPs that form porins and efflux pumps affect bacterial resistance to antibiotics by reducing permeability (porins) or increasing drug export (efflux pumps). Therefore, as an increase in porin OmpD was observed in the ΔyjeK mutant strain, resistance to antibiotics was further confirmed. The results of confirming resistance to antibiotics are shown in FIG. 1D.
도 1D에 나타낸 바와 같이, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주는 NA, SXT 및 TE를 제외한 다른 항생제에 감수성이 있었다. 특히, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주 처리군에서 GM, N, K 및 AMC의 억제 영역은 각각 최대 77%(21.0 ± 0.0 mm), 45%(18.9 ± 0.5 mm), 36%(21.8 ± 1.1 mm), 34%(27.5 ± 0.7 mm)임을 확인하였다.As shown in Fig. 1D, the ΔyjeK mutant strain was susceptible to other antibiotics except NA, SXT and TE. In particular, in the ΔyjeK mutant strain treatment group, the inhibitory regions of GM, N, K, and AMC were up to 77% (21.0 ± 0.0 mm), 45% (18.9 ± 0.5 mm), 36% (21.8 ± 1.1 mm), and 34%, respectively. % (27.5 ± 0.7 mm).
상기 결과는 Δ yjeK 균주가 성장, 운동성, 대사 및 항생제 감수성에서 상당한 변화를 나타내었음을 의미한다.These results indicate that the ΔyjeK strain exhibited significant changes in growth, motility, metabolism, and antibiotic susceptibility.

도 2A에 나타낸 바와 같이, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주는 감염 후 2시간에 야생형 박테리아보다 3.73배 빠른 속도로 숙주 상피세포에 들어갔으나, 감염 10시간 후 대식세포 내에서 완전히 증식하지 못하는 것을 확인하였다.As shown in FIG. 2A, the ΔyjeK mutant strain entered host epithelial cells 3.73 times faster than wild-type bacteria at 2 hours after infection, but failed to fully proliferate in macrophages 10 hours after infection.
야생형 및 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주 사이의 SPI-1 및 SPI-2 T3SS와 관련된 유전자 발현을 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 도 2B에 나타내었다.Gene expression related to SPI-1 and SPI-2 T3SS between wild-type and ΔyjeK mutant strains was analyzed, and the results are shown in FIG. 2B.
도 2B에 나타낸 바와 같이, 대식세포 내부에서 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주는 야생형 균주에 비해 SPI-1 수준이 증가되고, SPI-2 수준이 감소된 것을 확인하였다(도 2B, 0h). 이는 SPI-1/SPI-2 T3SS 관련 유전자의 발현이 변경되었음을 의미한다. 그러나 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에서 이러한 차등 발현은 박테리아가 세포 내 환경에 적응하는 동안 완화되는 것을 확인하였다(도 2B, 10h).As shown in Figure 2B, it was confirmed that the level of SPI-1 was increased and the level of SPI-2 was decreased in the ΔyjeK mutant strain compared to the wild-type strain inside macrophages (Fig. 2B, 0h). This means that the expression of SPI-1/SPI-2 T3SS-related genes was altered. However, it was confirmed that this differential expression in the ΔyjeK mutant strain was alleviated while the bacteria adapted to the intracellular environment (Fig. 2B, 10h).
감염 마우스 모델을 사용하여 생체 내에서 Δ yjeK 돌연변이의 독성을 추가로 평가했으며, 그 결과는 표 4에 나타내었다.The toxicity of the ΔyjeK mutant was further evaluated in vivo using an infection mouse model, and the results are shown in Table 4.

표 4에 나타낸 바와 같이, ip 경로를 통해 BALB/c 마우스에 접종된 ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주는 LD50 값이 106.5 CFU로, 야생형 ST1120(103.2 CFU)보다 약 100배 감소된 것을 확인하였다.As shown in Table 4, it was confirmed that the ΔyjeK mutant strain inoculated into BALB/c mice through the ip route had an LD 50 value of 10 6.5 CFU, about 100 times lower than wild-type ST1120 (10 3.2 CFU).
Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에 감염된 마우스를 희생시킨 후 비장 및 신체의 무게를 측정하였다. 또한 분리된 비장 내 박테리아 수를 계수하였다. 마우스 비장의 무게 및 비장 내 박테리아 수를 확인한 결과는 각각 도 3A 및 B에 나타내었다. 또한 희생된 마우스의 신체 무게를 측정한 결과는 도 3C에 나타내었다.After sacrifice of mice infected with the ΔyjeK mutant strain, spleen and body weights were measured. The number of bacteria in the isolated spleen was also counted. The results of confirming the weight of the mouse spleen and the number of bacteria in the spleen are shown in FIGS. 3A and B, respectively. In addition, the result of measuring the body weight of the sacrificed mouse is shown in Figure 3C.
도 3A에 나타낸 바와 같이, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에 감염된 마우스의 임상 징후 및 박테리아 부담도 야생형 감염 그룹의 임상 징후와 명확하게 달랐다. Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주 감염 후 비장의 무게가 유의하게 감소한 반면(Δ yjeK, 0.34 ± 0.05 g vs. wild-type, 0.72 ± 0.12 g), 야생형 균주 감염에서는 살모넬라 균주에 의한 비장종대(splenomegaly)가 관찰되었다.As shown in Fig. 3A, the clinical signs and bacterial burden of mice infected with the ΔyjeK mutant strain were also clearly different from those of the wild-type infected group. After infection with the ΔyjeK mutant strain, the weight of the spleen was significantly reduced (ΔyjeK, 0.34 ± 0.05 g vs. wild-type, 0.72 ± 0.12 g), whereas splenomegaly caused by the Salmonella strain was observed in the infection with the wild-type strain. .
도 3B에 나타낸 바와 같이, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주 처리군의 비장 내 박테리아 수는 4.6X104 CFU/g이며, 이는 야생형 균주 처리군(2.6X105 CFU/g)에 비해 현저히 낮은 것을 확인하였다.As shown in FIG. 3B, the number of bacteria in the spleen of the ΔyjeK mutant strain treatment group was 4.6X10 4 CFU/g, which was significantly lower than that of the wild-type strain treatment group (2.6X10 5 CFU/g).
도 3C에 나타낸 바와 같이, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주 및 야생형 균주 처리군은 모두 체중에 유의한 변화가 없는 것을 확인하였다.As shown in Figure 3C, it was confirmed that there was no significant change in the body weight of both the Δ yjeK mutant strain and the wild-type strain treatment group.
상기 결과는 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에 감염된 마우스의 비장에서 관찰된 비장종대 및 박테리아 수 감소는 상기 균주가 생체 내에서 약독화되었음을 의미한다.The above results indicate that the spleen enlargement and decrease in the number of bacteria observed in the spleen of mice infected with the ΔyjeK mutant strain indicate that the strain is attenuated in vivo.
실시예 3. ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주로 면역화된 마우스에서 면역 반응 분석Example 3. Analysis of immune responses in mice immunized with ΔyjeK mutant strains
3-1. 혈청 항체 분석3-1. Serum antibody assay
ΔyjeK 돌연변이체의 면역학적 효과는 BALB/c 마우스에서 감염 후 생성된 혈청 항체(IgG 및 IgM)의 수준을 측정하였다. IgG 및 IgM의 발현 수준을 분석한 결과는 각각 도 4A 및 B에 나타내었다.The immunological effect of the ΔyjeK mutant was measured by the level of serum antibodies (IgG and IgM) produced after infection in BALB/c mice. The results of analyzing the expression levels of IgG and IgM are shown in FIGS. 4A and B, respectively.
도 4A 및 B에 나타낸 바와 같이, IgG 및 IgM 항체의 수준은 14 dpi까지 야생형 및 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주로 감염된 그룹은 유사하였다. 28 dpi에서 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주에 의한 면역화로 인해 IgG 및 IgM 항체의 수준은 14 dpi에 비해 각각 1.7 및 1.5배 증가했다.As shown in Figures 4A and B, the levels of IgG and IgM antibodies were similar for groups infected with wild-type and ΔyjeK mutant strains up to 14 dpi. At 28 dpi, immunization with the ΔyjeK mutant strain resulted in a 1.7- and 1.5-fold increase in the levels of IgG and IgM antibodies compared to 14 dpi, respectively.
IgG2a/IgG1 비율은 미생물 감염에 대한 T 헬퍼(Th)1과 Th2 반응 사이의 면역 균형을 위한 대리 마커로 일반적으로 사용된다. 면역된 마우스의 IgG2a/IgG1 비율을 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 도 4C에 나타내었다.The IgG2a/IgG1 ratio is commonly used as a surrogate marker for the immune balance between T helper (Th)1 and Th2 responses to microbial infections. The IgG2a/IgG1 ratio of the immunized mice was measured, and the results are shown in FIG. 4C.
도 4C에 나타낸 바와 같이, ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주로 면역된 마우스의 IgG2a/IgG1 비율은 2.32(28 dpi) 내지 3.66(14 dpi) 범위에 있고, 야생형 균주로 감염된 그룹의 IgG2a/IgG1 비율은 5.16(28 dpi) 내지 5.65(14 dpi)임을 확인하였다.As shown in Fig. 4C, the IgG2a/IgG1 ratio of the mice immunized with the ΔyjeK mutant strain ranged from 2.32 (28 dpi) to 3.66 (14 dpi), and the IgG2a/IgG1 ratio of the group infected with the wild-type strain was 5.16 (28 dpi). ) to 5.65 (14 dpi).
상기 결과는 야생형 및 ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주 모두 BALB/c 마우스에서 Th2 매개 면역 반응보다 Th1 매개 면역 반응을 더 강력하게 자극했음을 의미한다. ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주가 야생형 균주보다 더 높은 수준의 IgG를 유도하지만 더 낮은 IgG2a/IgG1 비율을 유도한다는 점을 고려할 때, ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주를 이용한 면역화는 야생형 살모넬라균보다 더 강력하게 IgG2a 및 IgG1 관련 보호도 부여한다는 것을 의미한다.These results indicate that both the wild-type and ΔyjeK mutant strains stimulated the Th1-mediated immune response more strongly than the Th2-mediated immune response in BALB/c mice. Given that the ΔyjeK mutant strain induces higher levels of IgG than the wild-type strain but lower IgG2a/IgG1 ratio, immunization with the ΔyjeK mutant strain also conferred more potent IgG2a and IgG1-related protection than wild-type Salmonella means to do
3-2. 사이토카인 분석3-2. Cytokine analysis
면역 후 마우스의 비장을 28dpi로 채취하고 비장에서 분리한 비장세포를 S. Typhimurium LPS 및 HKC로 처리하여 살모넬라 면역원에 대한 사이토카인 생산 수준을 추정하였다. 면역화된 마우스 비장세포에서 사이토카인 IFN-γ, IL-6 및 TNF-α를 분석한 결과는 각각 도 5A 내지 C에 나타내었다.After immunization, the spleen of the mouse was collected at 28 dpi, and the splenocytes isolated from the spleen were treated with S. Typhimurium LPS and HKC to estimate the cytokine production level for the Salmonella immunogen. The results of analyzing the cytokines IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α in the immunized mouse splenocytes are shown in FIGS. 5A to C, respectively.
도 5A 내지 C에 나타낸 바와 같이, 사이토카인 IFN-γ, IL-6 및 TNF-α는 면역화에 사용된 박테리아 균주에 관계없이 LPS 또는 HKC에 대한 반응으로 모두 증가했다. 흥미롭게도, Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주를 사용한 면역은 야생형 살모넬라 에서 관찰된 것보다 LPS(2.24배) 및 HKC(1.5배)에 대한 IFN-γ 생산을 더 크게 촉진했다(도 5A). 그러나 전염증성 사이토카인 IL-6 및 TNF-α의 생성은 LPS 및 HKC 처리 둘 다에 대해 ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주로 면역화한 후 더 낮은 정도로 유도되었다(도 5B 및 C).As shown in Figures 5A-C, the cytokines IFN-γ, IL-6 and TNF-α were all increased in response to LPS or HKC, regardless of the bacterial strain used for immunization. Interestingly, immunization with the ΔyjeK mutant strain promoted IFN-γ production to a greater extent for LPS (2.24-fold) and HKC (1.5-fold) than was observed for wild-type Salmonella (Fig. 5A). However, production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α was induced to a lesser extent after immunization with the ΔyjeK mutant strain for both LPS and HKC treatment (FIGS. 5B and C).
상기 결과는 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주로 면역화된 마우스는 숙주 기관에서 전신 감염 징후 없이 IgG 및 IgM 항체를 유도하고, 동시에 살모넬라의 면역원성 항원에 대한 챌린지에 대해 사이토카인 생산을 조절한다는 것을 시사한다.These results suggest that mice immunized with the ΔyjeK mutant strain induce IgG and IgM antibodies without signs of systemic infection in the host organ, and at the same time modulate cytokine production in response to challenge with immunogenic antigens of Salmonella.
실시예 4. Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주로 면역된 마우스에서 살모넬라증 예방 효과 확인Example 4. Confirmation of salmonellosis preventive effect in mice immunized with ΔyjeK mutant strain
도 6A와 같은 실험 일정으로, ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주를 이용한 면역화에 의한 예방 효과를 BALB/c 마우스에서 평가하였다. 구체적으로, 후보 백신인 ΔyjeK 돌연변이 균주를 마우스에 복강 내 투여하여 면역화시켰다. 면역화된 마우스(28 dpi)에 야생형 S. Typhimurium 2173(ST2173) 균주를 경구 감염시켰다. 상기 야생형 S. Typhimurium 2173(ST2173) 균주가 감염된 마우스의 살모넬라 감염 예방 효과를 분석하였다.According to the experimental schedule shown in FIG. 6A, the preventive effect of immunization with the ΔyjeK mutant strain was evaluated in BALB/c mice. Specifically, the ΔyjeK mutant strain, which is a candidate vaccine, was immunized by intraperitoneal administration to mice. Immunized mice (28 dpi) were orally infected with wild-type S. Typhimurium 2173 (ST2173) strain. The effect of preventing Salmonella infection in mice infected with the wild-type S. Typhimurium 2173 (ST2173) strain was analyzed.
4-1. 임상증상 관찰4-1. Observation of clinical symptoms
야생형 S. Typhimurium 2173(ST2173) 균주가 감염된 마우스의 임상증상을 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 사전 예방접종 없이 ST2173에 감염된 생쥐에서 거친 털, 딱딱하고 감긴 눈, 식욕 부진, 구부린 자세, 떨림, 체중 감소 및 사망을 포함한 살모넬라 감염의 전형적인 임상 증상이 관찰되었다.Clinical symptoms of mice infected with the wild-type S. Typhimurium 2173 (ST2173) strain were observed. As a result, ST2173-infected mice without prior vaccination showed typical clinical signs of Salmonella infection, including coarse fur, hard, closed eyes, anorexia, hunched posture, tremors, weight loss and death.
4-2 체중 측정4-2 Weight measurement
상기 야생형 S. Typhimurium 2173(ST2173) 균주가 감염된 마우스의 체중을 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 도 6B에 나타내었다.The body weight of mice infected with the wild-type S. Typhimurium 2173 (ST2173) strain was measured, and the results are shown in FIG. 6B.
도 6B에 나타낸 바와 같이, 35 dpi에서 야생형 S. Typhimurium 2173(ST2173) 균주가 감염된 마우스의 체중은 ST2173 감염에 의해 약 77%로 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주로 면역된 마우스는 ST2173 감염 후 7일 동안 체중 증가를 나타내어 살모넬라 균주를 주사하지 않은 건강한 마우스와 유사한 체중을 나타냈다.As shown in FIG. 6B, it was confirmed that at 35 dpi, the body weight of mice infected with the wild-type S. Typhimurium 2173 (ST2173) strain was reduced by about 77% by ST2173 infection. However, mice immunized with the ΔyjeK mutant strain showed weight gain for 7 days after infection with ST2173, similar to healthy mice not injected with the Salmonella strain.
4-3. 간 및 비장의 박테리아 수 분석4-3. Analysis of the number of bacteria in the liver and spleen
상기 야생형 S. Typhimurium 2173(ST2173) 균주가 감염된 마우스를 희생시킨 후 간 및 비장의 무게를 측정하였고, 간 및 비장 내의 박테리아 수를 분석하였다. 간의 무게 및 박테리아 수를 분석한 결과는 도 6C에 나타내었고, 비장의 무게 및 박테리아 수를 분석한 결과는 도 6D에 나타내었다.After the mice infected with the wild-type S. Typhimurium 2173 (ST2173) strain were sacrificed, the weight of the liver and spleen was measured, and the number of bacteria in the liver and spleen was analyzed. The results of analyzing the weight and number of bacteria in the liver are shown in FIG. 6C, and the results of analyzing the weight and number of bacteria in the spleen are shown in FIG. 6D.
도 6B 및 C에 나타낸 바와 같이, 후보 백신으로 면역된 마우스(Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주 접종 그룹)에서는 간과 비장의 비대의 징후가 없었지만, 사전 예방접종을 하지 않은 공격받은 마우스는 간 및 비장이 비대했다. 또한 후보 백신으로 면역된 마우스(3.0 X 103 CFU/g liver 및 4.8 X 103 CFU/g spleen)의 간 및 비장의 세균 부담은 야생형 살모넬라로 면역된 마우스(2.3 X 104 CFU/g liver 및 7.5 × 104 CFU/g spleen) 및 면역되지 않은 마우스(positive challenge control: 3.9 X 105 CFU/g liver 및 2.5 X 106 CFU/g spleen)에 비해 유의하게 완화되었다.As shown in Fig. 6B and C, mice immunized with the candidate vaccine (ΔyjeK mutant strain inoculated group) showed no signs of liver and spleen enlargement, whereas challenged mice without prior vaccination had enlarged livers and spleens. In addition, the bacterial burden in the liver and spleen of mice immunized with the candidate vaccine (3.0 X 10 3 CFU/g liver and 4.8 X 10 3 CFU/g spleen) was higher than that of mice immunized with wild-type Salmonella (2.3 X 10 4 CFU/g liver and 7.5 × 10 4 CFU/g spleen) and unimmunized mice (positive challenge control: 3.9 X 10 5 CFU/g liver and 2.5 X 10 6 CFU/g spleen).
4-4. 생존 분석4-4. survival analysis
100 LD50의 박테리아 용량으로 ST2173의 경구 감염 후 면역화된 마우스의 생존율을 모니터링하여 후보 백신의 예방 효과를 평가하였다. 평가 결과는 도 6E에 나타내었다.The prophylactic effect of the candidate vaccine was evaluated by monitoring the survival of immunized mice after oral infection with ST2173 at a bacterial dose of 100 LD 50 . The evaluation results are shown in Fig. 6E.
도 6E에 나타낸 바와 같이, 살모넬라 균주로 면역화되지 않은 양성 대조군(P control)의 대부분은 ST2173 감염 후 1주 이내에 사망했다. 그러나 후보 백신으로 면역된 마우스(Δ yjeK)는 모니터링 기간 동안 ST2173 감염에서 살아남았다. 야생형 살모넬라균에 미리 감염된 마우스(WT)는 24dpi에서 독성 균주에 대한 공격에 대해 75% 생존했다.As shown in Fig. 6E, most of the positive control (P control) not immunized with the Salmonella strain died within 1 week after infection with ST2173. However, mice immunized with the candidate vaccine (ΔyjeK) survived ST2173 infection during the monitoring period. Mice pre-infected with wild-type Salmonella (WT) survived 75% challenge with the virulent strain at 24 dpi.
상기 결과는 후보 백신인 Δ yjeK 돌연변이 균주가 살모넬라균에 대한 완전한 보호를 제공할 수 있음을 의미한다.These results indicate that the candidate vaccine, the ΔyjeK mutant strain, can provide complete protection against Salmonella.
