生物矿化启发的磷酸锰基纳米疫苗制备及体外免疫应用

Biomineralization-Inspired Manganese Phosphate-Based Nanovaccine: Fabrication and in vitro Immunological Application

  • 摘要: 传统疫苗(如铝盐佐剂组成的疫苗)难以有效诱导细胞免疫,限制了肿瘤疫苗的疗效。以卵清蛋白(OVA)为模版,通过生物矿化策略构建了一种负载OVA的磷酸锰纳米疫苗(OVA@MnP)。经TEM、SEM、XPS等表征,其形貌与元素价态明确,且具有良好的生理稳定性和pH响应释放特性(酸性环境中释放抗原及Mn2+)。采用荧光团共轭OVA@MnP-FITC监测,纳米疫苗可被DC2.4细胞有效摄取并实现溶酶体逃逸,释放的Mn2+进入胞质后增强cGAS敏感性,显著上调STING及pSTING水平,强效激活cGAS-STING通路。该过程使骨髓来源树突细胞(BMDCs)成熟率提高2.41倍,巨噬细胞M1/M2比例提升7.54倍,有效诱发抗原特异性细胞免疫应答。综上,OVA@MnP作为高效的肿瘤疫苗候选体系,为肿瘤免疫治疗提供了新思路。

     

    Abstract: Conventional vaccines, particularly those formulated with aluminum salt adjuvants, are ineffective at inducing cellular immunity, limiting the therapeutic efficacy of tumor vaccines. Herein, using ovalbumin (OVA) as a template, an OVA-loaded manganese phosphate nanovaccine (OVA@MnP) was constructed via a biomineralization strategy. The nanovaccine was systematically characterized by TEM, SEM, and XPS, confirming its well-defined morphology and elemental composition. OVA@MnP exhibited excellent physiological stability and pH-responsive release behavior, enabling triggered antigen and Mn2+ release in acidic environments. Cellular uptake and lysosomal escape were confirmed using fluorophore-conjugated OVA@MnP-FITC in DC2.4 cells. Upon cytosolic entry, released Mn2+ enhanced cGAS sensitivity, significantly upregulating STING and pSTING levels and potently activating the cGAS-STING pathway. This activation increased bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) maturation by 2.41-fold and elevated the M1/M2 macrophage ratio by 7.54-fold, effectively inducing antigen-specific cellular immune responses. In summary, OVA@MnP represents a promising tumor vaccine candidate, offering a novel strategy for cancer immunotherapy.
