| Summary: | Pasteurella multocida B:2 causes bovine haemorrhagic septicaemia leading
to acute fatality in cattle and buffaloes. This bacterium spread rapidly from
the respiratory tract into the bloodstream causing death within 24 hours.
Countries where the disease is endemic resort to routine prophylactic
vaccination. However, it failed to contain and eradicate the disease. Liveattenuated
vaccines have the advantage of a natural route of entry to the
host which allows targeting of immunomodulatory factors to the same sites
of the immune system as occurs in the natural infection and achieves longer
lasting immunity.Pasteurella multocida B:2 GDH7 is an attenuated derivative
of the wild-type P. multocida B:2 isolated from a previous outbreak in
Malaysia, that upon intranasal administration is an efficient vaccine for HS.
This strain was genetically modified by the disruption of the wild-type gdhA
gene with the insertion of a kanamycin cassette. This resulted in an
interference of bacterial metabolism hence arresting its pathogenicity. This
study primarily aims to investigate the potential of P. multocida B:2 GDH7
strain as a delivery vehicle for DNA vaccine applications. Following this, an
investigation on the adherence, invasion and intracellular survival of the
bacterial strains within the bovine aortic endothelial cell line (BAEC) were
carried out. The parent strain and another mutant strain from Sri Lanka, P.
multocida B:2 JRMT12 were used as control. The potential vaccine strain, P.
multocida B:2 GDH7, was significantly better at adhering to and invading
BAEC (p ≤ 0.05) compared to the wild-type. Moreover, this strain was
observed to survive intracellularly 7 hours post-treatment, although a steady
decline in viability was noted with time. A dual reporter plasmid, pSRGM that expresses red fluorescent protein
(RFP) from a constitutive prokaryotic promoter within P. multocida B:2 and
green fluorescent protein (GFP) from a constitutive eukaryotic promoter
within mammalian cells was subsequently transformed into P. multocida B:2
GDH7. This construct was used to colocalize the bacteria when moving from
the extracellular environment into the intracellular compartment of the
mammalian cells. Intracellular trafficking of the vaccine strain, P. multocida
B:2 GDH7 was visualized by tracking the reporter proteins via confocal laser
scanning microscopy (CLSM). Pasteurella multocida B:2 GDH7 was found
intracellularly of the mammalian cells and manage to release the reporter
plasmid into the cytoplasm and allows GFP expression from the mammalian
host at 3 h post-treatment. The ability of P. multocida B:2 GDH7 to model a
bactofection represents the possibility for this potential vaccine strain to be
used as a delivery vehicle for DNA vaccine. From this study, P. multocida
B:2 GDH7, showed to be a promising candidate as a potential delivery
vehicle for DNA vaccine. |
