- Abstract
Trichinellosis is a very important food-borne parasitic disease, that seriously endangers animal husbandry and food safety. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a safe and effective vaccine against Trichinella spiralis infection. In this experiment, invasive Lactobacillus plantarum carrying the FnBPA gene served as a live bacterial vector to deliver nucleic acids to the host to produce a novel oral nucleic acid vaccine. Coexpression of the T. spiralis cathepsin F-like protease 1 gene (TsCPF1) and murine IL-4 (mIL-4) by the nucleic acid vaccine was constructed and subsequently delivered to intestinal epithelial cells via invasive L. plantarum. Thirty-seven days after the first immunization, the experimental mice were challenged with 350 T. spiralis infective larvae by oral gavage. The results showed that mice orally immune-stimulated with invasive L. plantarum pValac-TsCPF1/pSIP409-FnBPA not only produce anti-TsCPF1-specific IgG antibodies, sIgA, Th1/Th2 cytokine distinctly increased but also intestinal damage and worm burden relieved compare to non-invasive TsCPF1 group (pValac-TsCPF1/pSIP409). Most notably, experimental mice immunized with invasive L. plantarum coexpressing TsCPF1 and mIL-4 (pValac-TsCPF1-IL-4/pSIP409-FnBPA) exhibited the highest protection efficiency against T. spiralis infection. The above results reveal that invasive L. plantarum-expressing the FnBPA protein improved mucosal and cellular immunity and enhanced resistance to T. spiralis. The nucleic acid vaccine delivered by invasive L. plantarum described in this study offers a novel idea for the prevention of T. spiralis., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)
