Description

HPV vaccine composition, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomedical engineering, and in particular relates to an HPV vaccine composition, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in the field of immunotherapy and prevention.
Background
Human papillomavirus (human papillomavirus, HPV) is a non-enveloped, closed-loop, double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the subfamily polyomaviridae of papovaviridae, which mainly invades the epithelial mucosal tissue of the human body, thereby inducing various benign and malignant proliferative lesions. Over 200 types of HPV have been identified at present, HPV infection has obvious tissue specificity, different types of HPV have different tropisms to skin and mucous membrane, different papillary lesions can be induced, about 30 types of HPV are associated with genital tract infection, and about 20 types of HPV are associated with tumors.
Vaccination with prophylactic HPV vaccines is an effective and viable prophylactic means for the prevention of cervical cancer, and vaccines that have been marketed at present are vaccines based on Virus-like particles (VLPs) formed from HPV major capsid protein L1 as antigens, and the L1 protein expressed by gene recombination can form VLPs resembling viruses under certain conditions. Adjuvants which are important components of vaccines are mainly aluminum salt adjuvants, which exert an effect of enhancing immune responses through an antigen-depot effect and an immune stimulating effect of inducing inflammation and the like. However, aluminum salt adjuvants also have a number of limitations, such as inability to induce cellular immune responses, undesirable antigen presentation effects, delayed immune response generation time, susceptibility to side reactions, and the like.
Emulsion-type adjuvants (including oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions, etc.) are an important branch of new adjuvants, and emulsions can be used in combination with a variety of weak antigens (recombinant proteins, polypeptides, etc.) and elicit high titers of antigen-specific antibodies. Milk-type adjuvants generally comprise an oil phase component, an aqueous phase component and an emulsifier. The oil-in-water emulsion mainly comprises water phase components, has high tolerance to human body and has good compatibility with most vaccine antigens.
Although both dairy-based adjuvants and aluminum adjuvants have been widely used, there remains a need to date for new immune formulations and methods of immunization that provide vaccine formulations that are safer and more effective, easier to formulate, and less costly, and that are capable of rapidly inducing an immune response that is more efficient.

Mu.l of the antigen solution, followed by shaking at 15℃and 100rpm for 10 hours, to prepare a vaccine composition.
EXAMPLE 3 analysis of vaccine composition properties
The aluminum hydroxide adjuvant is actually an incomplete dehydration product of Al (OH) 3, namely aluminum metahydroxide AlO (OH) in fibrous crystalline form, as shown in fig. 1. In examples 1 and 2, HPV VLPs were adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide adjuvant when mixed with HPV VLPs as antigens, as shown in fig. 2.
The oil phase of the oil-in-water emulsions of examples 1 and 2 and the droplets formed by the surfactant were uniformly distributed in water as shown in fig. 3. The stability of both HPV antigens adsorbed to aluminum adjuvants and oil-in-water emulsions in examples 1 and 2 was higher, and the stability of the prepared two-component vaccine composition was also higher since the two components were independent of each other and did not affect each other.
In comparative example 1, since the formed complex adjuvant was an oily emulsion, delamination was found after mixing it with an aqueous phase containing an antigen and standing for a long period of time. Similarly, the compound adjuvant of comparative example 2 was a water-in-oil emulsion, and white flocculent, precipitated and layered phenomena were found after dilution with phosphate buffer solution and standing, as shown in fig. 4. The Pickering emulsion prepared in comparative example 3 is an emulsion system with solid particles instead of surfactant. The emulsion stabilizing mechanism is mainly that solid particles are adsorbed on an oil-water interface to form a solid particle single-layer or multi-layer structure, so that the emulsion is stabilized. However, this technique has high requirements on the preparation process conditions and poor emulsion stability, and the inventors found that delamination phenomenon occurs after long-term standing or centrifugation, as shown in fig. 5.
In comparative example 4, three components of an aluminum adjuvant, an oil-in-water emulsion, and an antigen were sequentially mixed, and droplets formed of an oil phase and a surfactant, and the antigen were sequentially adsorbed onto the aluminum adjuvant, as shown in fig. 6. The adsorption between the liquid drops formed by the oil phase and the surfactant and the aluminum adjuvant can compete with the adsorption between the antigen and the aluminum adjuvant, the aluminum adjuvant is difficult to effectively adsorb and protect the antigen, on the other hand, the aluminum adjuvant can destroy the balance of the water-oil interface of the emulsion, thereby destroying the form of the emulsion, and the advantages of the emulsion per se can not be exerted after the emulsion is mixed with the antigen.
Example 4 monovalent HPV vaccine mouse immunization experiments
4.1 Comparison of two-component vaccine with vaccine composition comprising Complex adjuvant and antigen
BALB/c mice were immunized with the vaccine compositions of example 1 and comparative examples 1-3, with an Al (OH) 3 control group, 10 per group, were muscle immunized, HPV antigens contained 5 μg of HPV 45L 1 VLP, and adjuvant amounts are shown in Table 1. Mice were immunized on days 0 and 14, respectively, mice were killed and serum was isolated 7 days after the second immunization, and serum neutralization antibody detection was performed by HPV pseudovirus-based method.
TABLE 1
The detection results are shown in FIG. 7. It can be seen that the immune compositions prepared in example 1 and comparative example 1 each induced a higher titer of neutralizing antibodies than the Al (OH) 3 control group, but no significant difference was found between the two groups. The immune compositions prepared in comparative examples 2 and 3 induced a lower neutralizing antibody titer than the Al (OH) 3 control, which may be due to the poor stability of the immune compositions in the two comparative examples on the one hand, and the emulsion of the antigen and the aluminum adjuvant as an aqueous phase together with an oil phase on the other hand, the process of forming the emulsion resulted in a great destructive effect on the antigen, possibly affecting the immune effect of the antigen.
In the comprehensive view, the independently packaged bi-component vaccine composition is adopted, so that on one hand, the stability problem caused by mixing the aluminum adjuvant and the emulsion adjuvant can be avoided, and on the other hand, the immune effect of the antigen can be obviously improved.
4.2 Comparison of two-component vaccine with vaccine composition comprising adjuvant mixture and antigen
Vaccine compositions were prepared according to the methods of example 1 and comparative example 4, respectively. Wherein, in preparing the vaccine composition according to the method of comparative example 4, the adjuvant mixture of aluminum hydroxide and oil-in-water emulsion was formulated 14 days, 7 days, 3 days and the day before immunization, respectively, the adjuvant mixture was mixed with HPV 45L 1 antigen on the day of immunization, the corresponding vaccine compositions were designated as H-14, H-7, H-3 and H-0, respectively, and the two-component vaccine in example 1 was mixed on the day of immunization.
BALB/c mice were immunized with the vaccine compositions prepared in example 1 and comparative example 4, 9 mice per group were immunized by muscle, HPV antigen contained HPV 45L 1 VLP 2. Mu.g, emulsion adjuvants were used in an amount of 25. Mu.l, and Al (OH) 3 adjuvants were used in an amount of 50. Mu.g. Mice were immunized on days 0 and 21, respectively, mice were killed and serum was isolated 14 days after the second immunization, and serum neutralization antibody detection was performed by HPV pseudovirus-based method.
As can be seen from fig. 8, when preparing the vaccine composition according to the method of comparative example 4, the time of the placement of the adjuvant mixture may have an influence on the immune effect, i.e., the immune effect of the prepared vaccine composition is gradually enhanced after the placement of the adjuvant mixture for at least 3 days. This may be an initial stage after mixing the aluminum hydroxide and the oil-in-water emulsion, the adjuvant mixture is unstable due to adsorption of the aluminum hydroxide, and the immune effect of the antigen is not sufficiently improved, and after a period of time, the whole system becomes more stable and uniform, thereby being able to sufficiently exert the adjuvant effect. The two-component vaccine composition of example 1 was immunized after mixing, and a better immune effect was obtained, probably because the antigen in the first component was adsorbed to aluminum hydroxide, and the oil-in-water emulsion was inoculated immediately after mixing with it, and the stability of the whole system was not significantly affected.
EXAMPLE 5 nine-valent HPV vaccine mouse immunization experiment
BALB/c mice were immunized with the prepared vaccine composition, 8 mice per group, were immunized with muscle, HPV antigens contained HPV6 L1 3μg、HPV11 L1 4μg、HPV16 L1 6μg、HPV18 L1 4μg、HPV31 L1 2μg、HPV33L1 2μg、HPV45 L1 2μg、HPV52 L1 2μg and HPV 58L 12. Mu.g, and adjuvant amounts are shown in Table 2. Mice were immunized on days 0 and 14, respectively, mice were killed and serum was isolated 7 days after the second immunization, and serum neutralization antibody detection was performed by HPV pseudovirus-based method.
TABLE 2
Groups 1 and 3 are vaccine compositions comprising Al (OH) 3/emulsion or AlPO 4/ emulsion composite adjuvant and HPV antigen prepared according to the method of comparative example 1, groups 2 and 4 are two-component vaccine compositions prepared according to the method of example 1 or 2 (HPV antigen adsorbed on Al (OH) 3 or AlPO 4 as a first component, emulsion as a second component), the two components are mixed prior to administration, group 5 is a mixture of emulsion and HPV antigen as a vaccine composition, no aluminum adjuvant is included, and groups 6 and 7 are HPV antigen adsorbed on Al (OH) 3 or AlPO 4 as a vaccine composition, no emulsion adjuvant is included.
The results of the detection of neutralizing antibodies against HPV type 31 pseudoviruses are shown in FIG. 9. It can be seen that the highest neutralizing antibody titer was induced when using the emulsion adjuvant and the lowest neutralizing antibody titer was induced when using the AlPO 4 adjuvant. While the neutralizing antibody titer induced by group 2 (labeled "emulsion+al (OH) 3") was significantly higher when using both the emulsion and Al (OH) 3 or AlPO 4 adjuvants, indicating that a vaccine comprising Al (OH) 3 adjuvant in combination with an emulsion adjuvant may significantly enhance the immune effect, the neutralizing antibody titer induced by groups 4 (labeled "emulsion+alpo 4") and groups 1 and 3 (labeled "emulsion/Al (OH) 3" and "emulsion/AlPO 4") was slightly lower when using the emulsion adjuvant alone but significantly higher when using Al (OH) 3 or AlPO 4 alone.
The detection results of neutralizing antibodies against pseudoviruses of HPV types 6, 45 and 58 are shown in FIG. 10. The results also show that group 2 (labeled "emulsion+al (OH) 3") or group 4 (labeled "emulsion+alpo 4") induced a significantly higher neutralizing antibody titer than that induced by Al (OH) 3 or AlPO 4 adjuvants alone, and greater than that induced by group 1 (labeled "emulsion/Al (OH) 3"), demonstrating that a vaccine combination emulsion adjuvant comprising Al (OH) 3 or AlPO 4 adjuvants can significantly enhance immune efficacy and is superior to vaccine compositions "antigen+emulsion/Al (OH) 3 complex adjuvants" that are similar in composition but distinct in preparation.
The results show that the emulsion adjuvant can obviously enhance the immunogenicity of HPV antigen, and can obtain better immune effect by simply adding the emulsion adjuvant on the basis of the existing HPV vaccine containing aluminum adjuvant.
Example 6 Effect of emulsion adjuvant and HPV antigen adsorbed to aluminium adjuvant injection site and administration sequence on the immune Effect
The vaccine composition of example 1 of the present invention comprises two independent components, and the present invention investigated the effect of injection sites and administration sequences of the two components on the immune effect, and explored various combinations of injection sites and administration sequences in order to screen the administration modes that can obtain the optimal immune effect.
In the case of simultaneous administration, the antigen adsorbed to the aluminum adjuvant and the two components of the emulsion adjuvant may be mixed and administered, or the two components may be administered separately using two syringes. The application interval of the two components is short (e.g. within 1min, preferably within 30 s) and still considered to be simultaneous.
The two components of the antigen and emulsion adjuvant adsorbed to the aluminium adjuvant should be administered at least 1h apart when not administered simultaneously, in this example at intervals of 2h apart. The grouping situation is shown in table 3. The dose of each group of antigens was the same as in example 5.
TABLE 3 Table 3
/>
As shown in fig. 11, both components were administered sequentially or at different sites, the vaccine composition induced a lower neutralizing antibody titer than when the two components were mixed and administered at the same site, with the neutralizing antibody titer at the different sites being the lowest. Thus, the results of the study found that the optimal way was to mix the two components and apply them, followed by the two components in the same place.
The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, and is not meant to limit the invention thereto, but to limit the invention thereto, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and equivalents thereof may be made without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention.
