Induction of systemic immunity through nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) of mice intranasally immunized with Brucella abortus malate dehydrogenase-loaded chitosan nanoparticles.

Infection with Brucella abortus causes contagious zoonosis, brucellosis, and leads to abortion in animals and chronic illness in humans. Chitosan nanoparticles (CNs), biocompatible and nontoxic polymers, acts as a mucosal adjuvant. In our previous study, B. abortus malate dehydrogenase (Mdh) was loa...

description Infection with Brucella abortus causes contagious zoonosis, brucellosis, and leads to abortion in animals and chronic illness in humans. Chitosan nanoparticles (CNs), biocompatible and nontoxic polymers, acts as a mucosal adjuvant. In our previous study, B. abortus malate dehydrogenase (Mdh) was loaded in CNs, and it induced high production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in THP-1 cells and systemic IgA in BALB/C mice. In this study, the time-series gene expression analysis of nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) was performed to identify the mechanism by which Mdh affect the target site of nasal immunization. We showed that intranasal immunization of CNs-Mdh reduced cell viability of epithelial cells and muscle cells at first 1 h, then induced cellular movement of immune cells such as granulocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes at 6h, and activated IL-6 signaling pathway at 12h within NALT. These activation of immune cells also promoted signaling pathway for high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), followed by the maturation of DCs required for mucosal immunity. The CNs also triggered the response to other organism and inflammatory response, showing it is immune-enhancing adjuvant. The ELISA showed that significant production of specific IgA was detected in the fecal excretions and genital secretions from the CNs-Mdh-immunized group after 2 weeks-post immunization. Collectively, these results suggest that B. abortus Mdh-loaded CNs triggers activation of HMGB1, IL-6 and DCs maturation signaling within NALT and induce production of systemic IgG and IgA.
