Title in Portuguese
Efeito adjuvante de esporos de Bacillus subtilis coadministrados a vacinas de DNA.
Keywords in Portuguese
Adjuvantes imunológicos
Anticorpos
DNA
Esporos bacterianos
Vacinas
Abstract in Portuguese
Esporos de Bacillus subtilis podem ser utilizados como veículos vacinais capazes de expressar ou adsorver proteínas heterólogas em sua superfície. Estudos recentes indicaram que esporos de B. subtilis também conferem um forte efeito adjuvante para vacinas baseadas em proteínas purificadas administradas por via parenteral. Nesse cenário, o objetivo do presente projeto foi avaliar o papel adjuvante dos esporos de B. subtilis e viabilizar sua utilização como carregadores de vacinas de DNA pelo método da biobalística (gene gun). Nesta metodologia, os esporos foram utilizados como substitutos das micropartículas de ouro usualmente empregadas, mantendo a capacidade de transfecção de células eucarióticas in vitro, e produção de anticorpos específicos em camundongos C57BL/6 imunizados com o plasmídeo vacinal pgDE7h (que codifica para uma forma atóxica da oncoproteína E7 do HPV-16). Além disso, esporos de B. subtilis foram capazes de ativar células dendríticas in vitro e, quando coadministrados a pgDE7h pela via intramuscular, conferiram um aumento de 50% na proteção anti-tumoral de animais previamente transplantados com a linhagem tumoral TC-1 (que expressa a proteína E7 do HPV-16), em uma relação dose-dependente.

Abstract in English
Bacillus subtilis spores can be used as vaccine vehicles capable of to display or adsorb heterologous proteins in its surface. Recent studies have indicated that spores of B. subtilis confer a strong adjuvant effect for vaccines based on purified proteins administered by the parenteral route. In this scenario, the objective of this project is to evaluate the adjuvant role of B. subtilis spores e viabilize its use as DNA vaccine carriers of biolistic method (gene gun). In this methodology, the spores are used as gold microparticles substitutes usually employed, maintaining the ability to transfect eukaryotic cells in vitro and production of specific antibodies in C57BL / 6 mice immunized with the vaccine plasmid pgDE7h (encoding a non-toxic form of the E7oncoprotein of HPV-16). Additionally, spores of B. subtilis were able to activate dendritic cells in vitro when co-administered intramuscularly to pgDE7h, conferring an increase of 50% of anti-tumor protection in animals previously transplanted with the TC-1 tumor cell line (expressing the E7 protein of HPV-16) in a dose-dependent manner.
