This study developed an influenza vaccine using polymeric nanoparticles delivered through dissolving microneedles. The vaccine particles effectively stimulated antigen-presenting cells, resulting in enhanced autophagy, nitric oxide, and antigen presentation. In mice, the vaccine induced the production of M2e-specific antibodies and significant expression of CD4(+) and CD8(+) populations. The study demonstrated that polymeric particulates delivered via fast-dissolving microneedles significantly enhanced the immunogenicity of a conserved influenza antigen.
This study focused on developing an influenza vaccine delivered in polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) using dissolving microneedles. We first formulated an influenza extracellular matrix protein 2 virus-like particle (M2e VLP)-loaded with poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles, yielding M2e5x VLP PLGA NPs. The vaccine particles were characterized for their physical properties and in vitro immunogenicity. Next, the M2e5x VLP PLGA NPs, along with the adjuvant Alhydrogel(& REG;) and monophosphoryl lipid A(& REG;) (MPL-A(& REG;)) PLGA NPs, were loaded into fast-dissolving microneedles. The vaccine microneedle patches were then evaluated in vivo in a murine model. The results from this study demonstrated that the vaccine nanoparticles effectively stimulated antigen-presenting cells in vitro resulting in enhanced autophagy, nitric oxide, and antigen presentation. In mice, the vaccine elicited M2e-specific antibodies in both serum and lung supernatants (post-challenge) and induced significant expression of CD4(+) and CD8(+) populations in the lymph nodes and spleens of immunized mice. Hence, this study demonstrated that polymeric particulates for antigen and adjuvant encapsulation, delivered using fast-dissolving microneedles, significantly enhanced the immunogenicity of a conserved influenza antigen.
