The study demonstrates that plant-derived secretory component can enhance protease-resistance of SIgA, potentially contributing to its oral application. The reconstituted SIgA with plant-derived SC showed increased resistance to pepsin and trypsin, suggesting a promising alternative for efficient production of orally applicable SIgA.
Key message A plant-derived secretory component conferred protease-resistance to Shiga toxin-specific mammalian immunoglobulin A. The protease-resistance was functionally demonstrated by a toxin neutralization assay. Secretory component (SC) is believed to play roles in such as the protease-resistance of secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), allowing it to function on mucosae. Although the use of a plant expression system for SIgA production has been increasing, it has not been sufficiently assessed as to whether heterologously expressed SC could functionally contribute to the protease-resistance of SIgA. Here, we reconstituted SIgA using plant-derived SC and tested for changes in vulnerability to protease challenge. With glutathione redox buffers, plant-derived SC and mammalian cell-derived dimeric IgA (dIgA) specific for Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) efficiently formed SIgA. Prior ammonium sulfate precipitation of dIgA was also shown to be useful to enhance the formation of SIgA. The reconstituted SIgA was treated with two gastrointestinal proteases, pepsin and trypsin. After 2-h pepsin treatment, the signal from SIgA remained at 42% with plant-derived SC-reconstitution while that from dIgA remained at 12% without SC-reconstitution on western blot analysis. Similarly, the signal from SIgA remained at 74% with SC but that from dIgA remained at 36% without SC after 4-h trypsin treatment. Furthermore, an effect of SC-reconstitution of dIgA on pepsin-resistance was observed in a toxin neutralization assay involving Vero cells. These results indicated that the plant-derived SC could contribute to the production of orally applicable SIgA.
