Mucosal adjuvant activity of cholera toxin requires Th17 cells and protects against inhalation anthrax

Abstract: Cholera toxin (CT) elicits a mucosal immune response in mice when used as a vaccine adjuvant. The mechanisms by which CT exerts its adjuvant effects are incompletely understood. We show that protection against inhalation anthrax by an irradiated spore vaccine depends on CT-mediated induction of IL-17-producing CD4 Th17 cells. Furthermore, IL-17 is involved in the induction of serum and mucosal antibody responses by CT. Th17 cells induced by CT have a unique cytokine profile compared with those induced by IL-6 … Show more

“…4). These data, combined with our previous observations that show induction of Th17 response (16) by high levels of cAMP in DC mostly via Gαs activation, indicate that in addition to PRR, signaling via regulators of cAMP levels, Gαs, and Gαi in CD11c + DC (and not in CD11c − ILC2 cells) (38) contributes to Th subset differentiation. Furthermore, the current findings help explain certain previous data, for example evidence that CGRP, a neuronally derived peptide that binds to a Gs-coupled receptor, can be an antiinflammatory mediator in the setting of allergic airway inflammation (39).…”

“…Based on these findings and our previous work that identified a role for cAMP in DC in Th17 induction (16), we hypothesized that cAMP regulates DC and affects Th differentiation bias. To test this hypothesis, we studied the regulation of DC activity by heterotrimeric (αβγ) GTP binding proteins that regulate cAMP synthesis through their modulation of the activity of adenylyl cyclases (ACs): Gαs, which stimulates AC activity, and Gαi, which inhibits membrane AC activity.…”

“…Several other bacteria-derived OMV-based antigens are also in development, while an OMV-based vaccine against Nesseria meningitidis has been licensed for (injectable) use in humans [107]. Anthrax spores have also been evaluated by the nasal route and successfully protected against challenge following vaccination [108]. The potential of these systems for oral vaccination is less clear but their efficacy could be enhanced by capsule based approaches with incorporated adjuvants.…”

“…This dominance of IL-17 was also observed in response to the CT b subunit (CTB). Although the precise mechanism for the adjuvant effect of CT is not completely understood, it appears that CTB targets DCs in vivo by binding to the cell membrane ganglioside GM1 [20]; moreover, the CT a subunit (CTA) triggers the PKA-mediated induction of cAMP, which plays a critical role in the subsequent induction of Th17 [21].…”

Here, we used intradermal (i.d.)…”
