Monoclonal antibodies recognizing EVETPIRN epitope of influenza A virus M2 protein could protect mice from lethal influenza A virus challenge

Based on the fact that the 24 amino acid extracellular domain of M2 protein (M2e) is nearly invariant in all influenza A strains, several different M2e vaccine constructs and vaccination modalities have been developed by others and us. Although most of these vaccines could induce efficient and broad-spectrum immunity inhibiting influenza A virus infection in mice model, information of the refined protective epitope on M2e was scarce. In this paper, two M2e specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) conferring protective immunity in vivo were reported, which in passive administration could protect 75% mice from five LD(50) (50% lethal dose) challenge of influenza virus A/PR/8/34. In addition, higher M2e specific antibody titer (over 1:1600) could be detected after 12h of intraperitoneal passive administration in mice sera. Peptide mapping assay indicated that both mAbs strongly interacted with N-terminus and middle part peptides of M2e (NM2, aa2-12; MM2, aa8-18), but not with the C-terminus peptide (CM2, aa13-24). More importantly, M2e specific mAbs could recognize EVETPIRN (aa6-13) peptide, which were the overlapping region of NM2 and MM2 peptide and the neighboring amino acid residues. In contrast, M2e domain that was deleted EVETPIR sequence could not be recognized by either mAb in immunoblotting assay. All these results indicated that the epitope EVETPIRN (aa6-13) on M2e could be responsible for the induction of the protective immunity.

Induction of heme oxygenase-1 expression inhibits platelet-dependent thrombosis

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) plays a key role in protecting tissue from oxidative stress. Although some studies implicate HO-1 in modulating thrombosis after vascular injury, the impact of HO-1 on the rate of clot formation in vivo is poorly defined. This study examined the potential function of HO-1 in regulating platelet-dependent arterial thrombosis. Platelet-rich thrombi were induced in C57BL/6J mice by applying 10% ferric chloride to the exposed carotid artery. Mean occlusion time of wild-type mice (n = 10) was 14.6 +/- 1.0 min versus 12.9 +/- 0.6 min for HO-1-/- mice (n = 11, p = 0.17). However, after challenge with hemin, mean occlusion time was significantly longer in wild-type mice (16.3 +/- 1.2 min, n = 15) than HO-1-/- mice (12.0 +/- 1.0 min, n = 9; p = 0.021). Hemin administration induced an approximately twofold increase in oxidative stress, measured as plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that hemin induced a robust increase in HO-1 expression within the carotid arterial wall. Ex vivo blood clotting within a collagen-coated perfusion chamber was studied to determine whether the accelerated thrombosis observed in HO-1-/- mice was contributed to by effects on the blood itself. Under basal conditions, mean clot formation during perfusion of blood over collagen did not differ between wild-type mice and HO-1-/- mice. However, after hemin challenge, mean clot formation was significantly increased in HO-1-/- mice compared with wild-type controls. These results suggest that, under basal conditions, HO-1 does not exert a significant effect on platelet-dependent clot formation in vivo. However, under conditions that stimulate HO-1 production, platelet-dependent thrombus formation is inhibited by HO-1. Enhanced HO-1 expression in response to oxidative stress may represent an adaptive response mechanism to down-regulate platelet activation under prothrombotic conditions.
