Induction of neutralizing antibodies in mice immunized with an amino-terminal polypeptide ofStreptococcus mutansP1 protein produced by a recombinantBacillus subtilisstrain

Abstract: The oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans expresses a surface protein, P1, which interacts with the salivary pellicle on the tooth surface or with fluid-phase saliva, resulting in bacterial adhesion or aggregation, respectively. P1 is a target of protective immunity. Its N-terminal region has been associated with adhesion and aggregation functions and contains epitopes recognized by efficacious antibodies. In this study, we used Bacillus subtilis, a gram-positive expression host, to produce a recombinant N-termin… Show more

“…1a). The vaccine vector pLDV702 was constructed after cloning the spaP1N gene (1.4 kb), which encodes the P1 antigen from S. mutans strain UA159 (29), into the pHCMC03 vector under the control of PgsiB, which is active only during the vegetative growth stage (9,30) (Fig. 1b).…”

“…Electrophoresis in denaturing gels was performed following a previously described protocol (33) and using a Mini-Protean II vertical electrophoresis unit (Bio-Rad). The Western blot assays were performed using previously described protocols (29). Reactive bands were detected with a chemiluminescence kit (SuperSignal; Pierce), as previously described (29).…”

“…Esse, primeiro estágio é independente de sacarose, e considerado reversível. Por outro lado, a segunda etapa, trata-se de um processo complexo e irreversível, o qual necessita de sacarose para a produção de polissacarídeos extracelulares (glucanos), que uma vez formados interagem com as proteínas de superfícies do patógeno, como as proteínas ligadoras de glucanos (Gbps) e as glicosiltransferases (GtfBs) que tem por consequência depósito de massa bacteriana na superfície do o dente, gerando o biofilme dental (BANAS, 2004;TAUBMAN;NASH, 2006;BRADY et al, 2010;KOO et al, 2010). Uma das primeiras estratégias vacinais desenvolvidas contra a cárie dental ocorreu na década de 1970 onde vários pesquisadores (TALBMAN;SMITH, 1974;MCGHEE et al, 1975) empregaram como antígeno alvo, o patógeno inteiro (S. mutans) por via subcutânea ou glândulas salvares em modelos murinos, com a finalidade de desenvolver uma resposta protetora contra a doença.…”

“…Porém outras pesquisas evidenciaram que essa estratégia poderia induzir anticorpos com reatividade cruzada com fibras cardíacas de humanos e também de coelho ( VAN DE RIJN;ZABRISKIE, 1976;HUGHES et al, 1980). Sendo assim, para a continuação das buscas por novas estratégias o foco principal das vacinas contra a cárie passou a ser restrito a proteínas, fragmentos ou peptídeos originários dos principais fatores de virulências do S. mutans envolvidos no mecanismo de patogenicidade, em especial aqueles derivados da proteína P1 que participa da primeira etapa da colonização (BRADY et al, 2010;ZHANG, 2013).…”
