PLGA nanoparticles loaded with KMP-11 stimulate innate immunity and induce the killing of Leishmania
چکیده انگلیسی

We recently demonstrated that immunization with polyester poly(lactide-co-glycolide acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with the 11-kDa Leishmania vaccine candidate kinetoplastid membrane protein 11 (KMP-11) significantly reduced parasite load in vivo. Presently, we explored the ability of the recombinant PLGA nanoparticles to stimulate innate responses in macrophages and the outcome of infection with Leishmania braziliensis in vitro. Incubation of macrophages with KMP-11-loaded PLGA nanoparticles significantly decreased parasite load. In parallel, we observed the augmented production of nitric oxide, superoxide, TNF-α and IL-6. An increased release of CCL2/MCP-1 and CXCL1/KC was also observed, resulting in macrophage and neutrophil recruitment in vitro. Lastly, the incubation of macrophages with KMP-11-loaded PLGA nanoparticles triggered the activation of caspase-1 and the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18, suggesting inflammasome participation. Inhibition of caspase-1 significantly increased the parasite load. We conclude that KMP-11-loaded PLGA nanoparticles promote the killing of intracellular Leishmania parasites through the induction of potent innate responses.From the Clinical EditorIn this novel study, KMP-11-loaded PLGA nanoparticles are demonstrated to promote the killing of intracellular Leishmania parasites through enhanced innate immune responses by multiple mechanisms. Future clinical applications would have a major effect on our efforts to address parasitic infections.

Graphical AbstractMacrophage stimulation with KMP-11-loaded PLGA nanoparticles induces an innate response characterized by the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and reactive oxygen intermediates and by triggering of the inflammasome that, collectively, result in Leishmania braziliensis killing.Figure optionsDownload high-quality image (73 K)Download as PowerPoint slide
