Abstract:
:Innate immunity is induced when pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) bind host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] is a synthetic analogue of viral dsRNA that acts as a PAMP, inducing type I interferons (IFNs) in vertebrates. In the present study, the immunostimulatory effects of high molecular weight (HMW) poly(I:C) in rainbow trout cells were measured when bound to a cationic phytoglycogen nanoparticle (Nano-HMW). The physical characteristics of the nanoparticle itself, when bound to different lengths of dsRNA and when cell associated was evaluated. Optimal concentration and timing for innate immune stimulation was measured using the RTG-P1 reporter cell line. The immunostimulatory effects of HMW poly (I:C) was compared to Nano-HMW in vitro using the RTgutGC cell line cultured in a conventional monolayer or a transwell culture system. The ability of an activated intestinal epithelium to transmit an antiviral signal to macrophages was evaluated using a co-culture of RTgutGC cells and RTSll (a monocyte/macrophage cell). In all culture conditions, Nano-HMW was a more effective inducer of IFN-related antiviral immune responses compared to HMW poly (I:C) alone. This study introduces the use of cationic phytoglycogen nanoparticles as a novel delivery system for immunomodulatory molecules to enhance immune responses in aquatic vertebrates.
