Bacterial phospholipases C as vaccine candidate antigens against cystic fibrosis respiratory pathogens: the Mycobacterium abscessus model

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Vaccine strategies represent one of the fighting answers against multiresistant bacteria in a number of clinical settings like cystic fibrosis (CF). Mycobacterium abscessus, an emerging CF pathogen, raises difficult therapeutic problems due to its intrinsic antibiotic multiresistance. METHODS: By reverse vaccinology, we identified M. abscessus phospholipase C (MA-PLC) as a potential vaccine target. We deciphered here the protective response generated by vaccination with plasmid DNA encoding the MA-PLC formulated with a tetra functional block copolymer 704, in CF (ΔF508) mice. Protection was tested against aerosolized smooth and rough (hypervirulent) variants of M. abscessus. RESULTS: MA-PLC DNA vaccination (days 0, 21, 42) elicited a strong antibody response. A significant protective effect was obtained against aerosolized M. abscessus (S variant) in ΔF508 mice, but not in wild-type FVB littermates; similar results were observed when: (i) challenging mice with the "hypervirulent" R variant, and; (ii) immunizing mice with purified MA-PLC protein. High IgG titers against MA-PLC protein were measured in CF patients with M. abscessus infection; interestingly, significant titers were also detected in CF patients positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa versus P. aeruginosa-negative controls. CONCLUSIONS: MA-PLC DNA- and PLC protein-vaccinated mice cleared more rapidly M. abscessus than β-galactosidase DNA- or PBS- vaccinated mice in the context of CF. PLCs could constitute interesting vaccine targets against common PLC-producing CF pathogens like P. aeruginosa.
