Abstract

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) or stress proteins are produced by prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in response to a variety of insults. After this original definition, it has become increasingly clear that HSPs can modify the function and destiny of other proteins and thus play an important role in numerous physiological processes. The heat shock response is one of the most universal reactions known and HSPs are among the most conserved molecules in phylogeny. Here Stefan H.E. Kaufmann discusses the role of HSPs in immunity with respect to both their function and their antigenicity.

Phylogenetic analysis of Babesia gibsoni isolates of south India using apical membrane antigen, 50 kDa surface antigen, and 70 kDa heat shock protein genes
2023, Experimental Parasitology
The prevalence of canine babesiosis due to Babesia gibsoni has increased throughout the world including in southern India. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based molecular characterization of B. gibsoni in dogs of Kerala, south India, targeting three specific genes viz., apical membrane antigen (AMA1), 50 kDa surface antigen (P50), and heat shock protein (HSP70) was undertaken in this study. Out of 297 blood samples collected from clinically suspected animals, microscopy detected piroplasms of B. gibsoni in 60 (20.20 per cent), while the PCR targeting the BgP50 gene detected 85 (28.61 per cent). Polymerase chain reaction targeting the BgAMA1 and BgHSP70 detected a lesser number of samples (60 and 65 respectively) as positive. The phylogenetic analysis of BgHSP70 gene sequences did not reveal genetic heterogeneity among the B. gibsoni isolates of South India and from other countries, while the BgP50 gene differentiated the Indian isolates from Japanese isolates. When BgAMA1 was used for phylogenetic analysis, genetic variation was not observed among Indian and Taiwanese isolates, however, differentiated them from the Japanese isolates.
In silico and in vivo approaches to recombinant multi-epitope immunogen of GroEL provides efficient cross protection against S. Typhimurium, S. flexneri, and S. dysenteriae
2022, Molecular Immunology
Stress or Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) have been included in various operations like protein folding, autophagy, and apoptosis. HSP families recognize as protective antigens in a wide range of bacteria because they have been conserved through evolution. Due to their homology as well as antigenicity they are competent for applying in cross-protection against bacterial diseases.
In the present study, bioinformatics approaches utilized to design epitope-based construction of Hsp60 (or GroEL) protein. In this regard, potential B-cell and T-cell epitopes except for allergenic sequences were selected by immunoinformatic tools. The structural and functional aspects of the DNA, RNA, and protein levels were assessed by bioinformatics software. Following in silico investigations, recombinant GroEL multi-epitope of Salmonella typhi was expressed, purified, and validated. Mouse groups were immunized with recombinant protein and humoral immune response was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Animal challenge against Salmonella Typhimurium, Shigella flexneri, and Shigella dysenteriae was evaluated.
recombinant protein expression and purification with 14.3 kilodaltons (kDa) was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting. After animal administration, the immunoglobulins evaluated increase after each immunization. Immunized antisera exhibited 80%, 40%, and 40% protection against the lethal dose infection by S. Typhimurium, S. flexneri, and S. dysenteriae respectively. Passive immunization conferred 50%, 30%, and 30% protection in mice against S. Typhimurium, S. flexneri and S. dysentery respectively. In addition, bacterial organ load had exhibited a significant decrease in colony forming unit (CFU) in the liver and spleen of the immunized mice compared to the control.
Our study demonstrates the efficacy of S. Typhi recombinant GroEL multi-epitope to consider as a universal immunogen candidate versus multiple bacterial pathogens.
Nutritional and stress effects on immunologic function
2020, Stiehm's Immune Deficiencies: Inborn Errors of Immunity
Immune cell function and metabolism are closely linked. Alterations in cellular metabolism influence cell function. The best studied example of critical energy changes are in T cells. Naïve T cells utilize oxidative phosphorylation of lipids, amino acids, and glucose-derived pyruvate. Once activated, they increase glucose uptake, glycolysis, and reduction of pyruvate to lactate, a process aptly named aerobic glycolysis. Less well understood, however, are the effects of systemic metabolism or whole organism nutritional status on immune cell function and metabolism. Emerging epidemiological and basic studies are now elucidating dietary and other metabolic effects on immune function.
Expanding the Organismal Proteostasis Network: Linking Systemic Stress Signaling with the Innate Immune Response
2019, Trends in Biochemical Sciences
Stress response pathways regulate proteostasis and mitigate macromolecular damage to promote long-term cellular health. Intercellular signaling is an essential layer of systemic proteostasis in an organism and is facilitated via transcellular signaling molecules that orchestrate the activation of stress responses across tissues and organs. Accumulating evidence indicates that components of the immune response act as signaling factors that regulate the cell-non-autonomous proteostasis network. Here, we review emergent advances in our understanding of cell-non-autonomous regulators of proteostasis networks in multicellular settings, from the model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans, to humans. We further discuss how innate immune responses can be players of the organismal proteostasis network and discuss how both are linked in cancer.
Interplay of oxidative stress and antioxidant bio markers in oil adjuvant Brucella melitensis vaccinated and challenged mice
2019, Vaccine
The intracellular nature of Brucella leads to rise in oxidative stress due to bacterial invasion, particularly at the site of predilection spleen and lymph nodes. The present study aimed to evaluate the erythrocytic and tissue specific oxidative stress responses induced during oil adjuvant killed Brucella melitensis vaccination. The results of the study clearly implicated a significant increase in level of catalase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and lipid peroxidation (LPO), and total protein content in erythrocytes after vaccination. The activity of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) was unaltered during the period of experiment. The catalase activity and GSH content was significantly increased in lung and spleen tissues. The tissues GST levels increased significantly in all tissues, while tissue SOD level increased significantly only in lung tissues. Thus, it can be inferred that oil adjuvant based Brucella vaccine induces negligible signs of inflammatory pathophysiology and supports the development of significant level of protection against virulent Brucella challenge.
Caprine humoral response to burkholderia pseudomallei antigens during acute melioidosis from aerosol exposure
2019, PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis, a common source of pneumonia and sepsis in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia that results in high mortality rates. A caprine melioidosis model of aerosol infection that leads to a systemic infection has the potential to characterize the humoral immune response. This could help identify immunogenic proteins for new diagnostics and vaccine candidates. Outbred goats may more accurately mimic human infection, in contrast to the inbred mouse models used to date. B. pseudomallei infection was delivered as an intratracheal aerosol. Antigenic protein profiling was generated from the infecting strain MSHR511. Humoral immune responses were analyzed by ELISA and western blot, and the antigenic proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. Throughout the course of the infection the assay results demonstrated a much greater humoral response with IgG antibodies, in both breadth and quantity, compared to IgM antibodies. Pre-infection sera showed multiple immunogenic proteins already reactive for IgG (7–20) and IgM (0–12) in most of the goats despite no previous exposure to B. pseudomallei. After infection, the number of IgG reactive proteins showed a marked increase as the disease progressed. Early stage infection (day 7) showed immune reaction to chaperone proteins (GroEL, EF-Tu, and DnaK). These three proteins were detected in all serum samples after infection, with GroEL immunogenically dominant. Seven common reactive antigens were selected for further analysis using ELISA. The heat shock protein GroEL1 elicited the strongest goat antibody immune response compared to the other six antigens. Most of the six antigens showed the peak IgM reactivity at day 14, whereas the IgG reactivity increased further as the disease progressed. An overall MSHR511 proteomic comparison between the goat model and human sera showed that many immune reactive proteins are common between humans and goats with melioidosis.
