A chitosan-based nanosystem as pneumococcal vaccine delivery platform

Résumé

Chitosan-based nanosystems have been described as interesting tools for antigen delivery and for enhancing the immunogenicity of nasally administered vaccines. As a possible vaccine delivery method, the chemical conjugation of chitosan nanocapsules with the Streptococcus pneumoniae cell membrane protein PsaA (pneumococcal surface adhesin A) is suggested here. The antigen PsaA, common to all pneumococcus serotypes, is expected to improve its uptake by immune cells and to activate specific T cells, generating an adaptive immune response against pneumococcus. With this aim, chitosan nanocapsules with thiol-maleimide conjugation between the polymer (chitosan) and the antigen (PsaA) were designed to enable the surface presentation of PsaA for immune cell recognition. Spherical shaped particles, with a size of 266±32 nm, positive charge of +30±1 mV and good stability profiles in simulated nasal fluids (up to 24 h) were achieved. PsaA association rates were three times higher compared to nanocapsules without covalent polymer-protein conjugation. Cytotoxicity studies in cell culture media showed non-toxic effect under 150 µg/mL concentration of nanocapsules, and subsequent studies on the maturation of immature dendritic cells in the presence of antigen-conjugated nanocapsules displayed peripheral blood mononuclear cell activation and lymphocyte differentiation after their presentation by dendritic cells. Secretion of TNFα following exposure to nanocapsules and the ability of nanocapsules to activate CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes has also been studied.
