A potential immunotherapy approach: Mucosal immunization with an IL-13 peptide-based virus-like particle vaccine in a mouse asthma model
چکیده انگلیسی

Interleukin (IL)-13 is critical in asthma pathogenesis. Previously, we have developed an IL-13 peptide-based vaccine and confirmed that subcutaneous immunization with the vaccine suppressed airway allergic inflammatory responses in a mouse asthma model. In the present study, we sought to test if mucosal immunization with the vaccine could be a potential approach, by inducing specific autoantibodies of both local IgA in the airway and systemic IgG in serum, to provide an overall suppression of redundant IL-13 effects. The results show that intranasal vaccination induces IL-13-specific IgA responses in multiple mucosal tissues and higher titers of IgG in serum than subcutaneous vaccination. This approach leads to a more effective suppression of ovalbumin-driven Th2 patterns of antibody responses and airway IL-13 and eosinophil accumulation than subcutaneous immunization, even when the induced IL-13 IgG responses were at a similar level. In conclusion, mucosal vaccination may be an innovative potential approach in the treatment of asthma.
