Abstract
To develop vaccine adjuvants from bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) the immunostimulatory activity of lysozyme-solubilized PG derived from Levilactobacillus brevis and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum was investigated. Solubilized PG from both bacteria induced IL-8 in THP-1 cells, and periodate oxidation of L. plantarum PG reduced the activity, suggesting that muramyl dipeptide was partially destroyed. Periodate-oxidized L. plantarum PG showed reduced IL-8 inducing activity in NOD2-expressing cells, while it remained in NOD1-expressing cells, suggesting that γ-d-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid structure was maintained. All PG preparations stimulated RAW264.7 cells to proliferate, suggesting that they could be potent candidates for vaccine adjuvants.
为研制细菌肽聚糖(PG)疫苗佐剂,研究了短乳杆菌和植物乳杆菌溶菌酶溶肽聚糖的免疫刺激活性。两种细菌的溶解PG诱导THP-1细胞中的IL-8,植物乳杆菌PG的高碘酸氧化降低了活性,表明muramyl二肽被部分破坏。在表达nod2的细胞中,经高碘酸盐氧化的L. plantarum PG的IL-8诱导活性降低,而在表达nod1的细胞中,IL-8诱导活性保持不变,表明γ-d-谷氨酰胺-中二氨基戊酸结构得以维持。所有PG制剂都能刺激RAW264.7细胞增殖,表明它们可能是疫苗佐剂的有力候选物。
