Nitric oxide-assisted lipid nanoparticles amplify mRNA vaccine responses.

mRNA vaccines have made substantial clinical advances, yet their full clinical potential can be further expanded by enhancing cytosolic delivery. Here, we integrate a nitric oxide (NO) generator with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to boost mRNA delivery efficiency and mRNA-based vaccine efficacy. SM-102/DEA LNPs, the lead formulation, achieved significantly higher mRNA delivery compared with the FDA approved SM-102 LNPs in both cellular and animal models. The intramuscular administration of SM-102/DEA LNPs encapsulating mRNA encoding SARS-CoV-2 spike protein elicited substantially higher anti-spike IgG levels and robust CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses compared to SM-102 LNPs. Mechanistic studies revealed that DEA incorporation promotes endosomal escape of mRNA cargos in SM-102/DEA LNPs. These findings establish NO-assisted LNPs as a unique platform for potent mRNA delivery, which provides a new paradigm for overcoming endosomal barriers and improving the efficacy of mRNA vaccines.

Religious beliefs and practices, political orientation, and distrust in healthcare predict attitudes toward mRNA vaccines in the United States.

Religion has contributed to societal divides regarding COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. In this study, we conducted a secondary analysis of a survey of U.S. adults (N=4939) focused on how religious affiliations, beliefs, and practices impact attitudes toward genetic and genomic activities, one of which was mRNA vaccines. The dataset included large samples of participants from six religious groups in the U.S. (Black Protestant, Catholic, Evangelical Protestant, Jewish, Mainline Protestant, and Muslim), as well as individuals who were atheist, agnostic, or spiritual. ANCOVA results indicated that Evangelical Protestant participants showed significantly less support for mRNA vaccines than other groups, while atheist participants were the most supportive. Muslim participants had the highest concerns, whereas atheist participants had the lowest. Regression analyses indicated the strongest predictors of support for mRNA vaccines were more spiritual community support for community health, followed by higher acceptance of evolution, more liberal political orientation, less distrust toward the healthcare system, higher frequency of attending religious activities, higher income, lower fundamentalist religious beliefs, and more spiritual community support for liberal reproductive and end of life views. The strongest predictors of concerns about mRNA vaccines were more distrust toward the healthcare system and more conservative political orientation, followed by less spiritual community support for community health, stronger beliefs about God in the body, more fundamentalist religious beliefs, and lower knowledge of genetics. The large sample size, and examination of a broad array of religious variables alongside distrust and political orientation offer new insights. These findings add to the literature on the culture wars surrounding mRNA vaccines, and can perhaps aid in future efforts to build trust and relationships between public health and religious communities.

mRNA vaccine immunity is enhanced by hepatocyte detargeting and not dependent on dendritic cell expression.

Proteins encoded by mRNA vaccines can be expressed by a diversity of transfected cell types but how cell-type-specific expression influences immunity is poorly understood. To investigate this, we incorporated synthetic microRNA target sites (miRT) into lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-delivered mRNA vaccines to silence mRNA expression specifically in professional antigen-presenting cells (pAPCs), hepatocytes or myocytes. We found that mRNA expression in pAPCs was dispensable for priming antigen-specific T cells, whereas mRNA expression in myocytes induced similar or stronger immune responses, including for SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that antigen cross-presentation or cross-dressing may be more impactful than direct mRNA expression in pAPCs. In contrast, mRNA expression in hepatocytes suppressed the antigen-specific T cell response, partly through PD1/PDL1. In mice bearing tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-expressing lymphoma cells, miRT-mediated hepatocyte-silenced TAA mRNA vaccine enhanced immune response and reduced tumor burden. Thus, non-pAPC expression shapes immunity to mRNA-encoded protein and inclusion of miRTs can boost or blunt mRNA-LNP immunogenicity.

Potential of MRNA vaccines for mpox prevention: current evidence and future directions.

In 2022, the presumption of monkeypox (mpox) to be of limited epidemiology shifted when a global outbreak was announced. Being a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the Poxviridae family, it'd been reported in over 82 countries with over 17 000 confirmed cases by July 2022, thus showing its capability for spreading rapidly. As the smallpox vaccine offers 85% cross-immunity against mpox, the outbreak highlighted the attenuation of global immunity against orthopoxviruses after the cessation of vaccination campaigns against smallpox. The mortality of this virus is higher in vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and immunosuppressed individuals. With treatment methods being limited to off-label use of antivirals, the need for urgent and efficient preventative measures is emphasized. At present, JYNNEOS (Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic), showing favorable safety, and ACAM2000, a live attenuated virus with a high risk of side effects, are two vaccines that are indicated for mpox immunization. However, neither of them has proven full safety, efficacy, and widespread accessibility against mpox. Hence, the use of mRNA vaccines has emerged as a better alternative to traditional vaccinations, as they leverage synthetic messenger RNA to instruct host cells to produce antigens, eliciting both humoral and cellular immune responses. Though they provided rapid scalability, adaptability to emerging viral variants, and an established safety profile after the COVID-19 pandemic, their usage in preventing mpox remains an area of research. This paper elucidates the potential of mRNA technology to address the unmet needs in mpox prevention. It also highlights the need for genomic surveillance, immunological insights, and innovative delivery systems.

Polarization of immunity induced by direct injection of naked sequence-stabilized mRNA vaccines.

In the context of developing a safe genetic vaccination strategy we tested and studied globin-stabilized mRNA-based vaccination in mice. This vaccination strategy has the advantages of genetic vaccination (easy production, adaptability to any disease and inexpensive storage when lyophilized), but not the drawbacks of DNA vaccination (long-term uncontrolled expression of a transgene, possibility of integration into the host genome and possible induction of anti-DNA antibodies). We report here that injection of naked beta-globin untranslated region (UTR)-stabilized mRNA coding for beta-galactosidase is followed by detectable translation in vivo. In addition, we show that such a vaccination strategy primes a T helper 2 (Th2) type of response which can be enhanced and shifted to a Th1-type immune response by application of recombinant granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor 1 day after mRNA injection. Our data demonstrate that the administration of globin UTR-stabilized mRNA is a versatile vaccination strategy that can be manipulated to fit the requirement of antiviral, antibacterial or antitumor immunity.

Safety and immunogenicity of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine administered to adults: A phase 2, randomized, active-controlled trial.

We conducted a phase 2, randomized, active-controlled, observer-blind study (NCT05960097) among healthy adults ≥18 y of age who completed a primary COVID-19 mRNA vaccination series, with or without a booster, ≥3 months earlier. Participants were randomized (1:1:1:1:1) to either receive an investigational bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccine encoding ancestral D614G and Omicron BA.4-5 spike proteins (CV0701 mRNA vaccine) at one of three dose levels, an investigational monovalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccine encoding the Omicron BA.4-5 spike protein (CV0601 mRNA vaccine), or a licensed Original Wuhan/Omicron BA.4-5 bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The primary objectives were to evaluate reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity post-vaccination. Secondary and tertiary objectives were to further evaluate humoral and cell-mediated immunity post-vaccination. In total, 425 participants were vaccinated and 381 were included in the Day 29 per-protocol immunogenicity analysis. Most solicited events were mild to moderate. No vaccine-related serious adverse events or myocarditis/pericarditis cases were reported. For the CV0701 mRNA vaccine, a dose-dependent increase in Day 29 neutralizing titers against ancestral D614G and Omicron BA.4-5 was observed. Neutralizing titers against ancestral D614G and Omicron BA.4-5 declined by Days 91 and 181, but remained above baseline. Similar immune responses were observed for the CV0601 mRNA vaccine. At Day 8, CD4+ T cells (Th1 profile) increased in all study groups and CD8+ T cells increased in all study groups, except the lowest CV0701 dose group. The CV0701 and CV0601 mRNA vaccines elicited robust humoral and cellular immunity with an acceptable safety profile, comparable to a licensed, bivalent mRNA vaccine.

Efficient induction of CD8 T-associated immune protection by vaccination with mRNA transfected dendritic cells.

Dendritic cells are excellent targets for antigen-specific immune intervention. Here we attempted to introduce a CD8 T cell-dependent epitope into dendritic cells for presentation on major histocompatibility complex class I and induction of immunity. Murine bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells were subjected to electroporation with mRNA transcribed in vitro from a plasmid encoding lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus glycoprotein or enhanced green fluorescent protein under the control of a T7 promotor. The transfection efficiency of dendritic cells was 22 to 40%. Maturation was not inhibited by the electroporation. Dendritic cells electroporated with the appropriate antigen induced cell number-dependent in vitro proliferation in CD8 T cells expressing a transgenic receptor recognizing the 33 to 41 sequence of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus glycoprotein in association with H-2Kb/Db, indicating correct synthesis, processing, and presentation of the epitope. Naive C57BL/6 mice vaccinated with electroporated dendritic cells and challenged with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus were protected. Vaccination induced epitope-specific T cells as assessed by tetramer staining in blood and spleen. These results indicate that targeting dendritic cells with antigen-encoding mRNA can induce antigen-specific CD8 T cell responses as well as protective anti-viral immunity in vivo. Targeting dendritic cells with antigen-encoding mRNA may find wider application for immune intervention in disorders such as autoimmunity and cancer.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination elicit distinct pharyngeal mucosal B cell responses in children.

Mucosal immunity is an important correlate of protection against respiratory infections such as SARS-CoV-2. Comparing B cell responses in the upper respiratory tract following vaccination and infection may offer unique insights into mucosal immunity. Here, we characterized antigen-specific B cells in the tonsils, adenoids, and peripheral blood of children who had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or vaccinated with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. SARS-CoV-2-specific switched memory B cells (BSM) and germinal center B cells were found in the blood and pharyngeal lymphoid tissues after vaccination or infection. However, infection generated a higher proportion of IgA+ BSM and CXCR3+CD21+ BSM, which showed distinct spatial localization, greater clonal expansion and increased propensity for plasma cell differentiation compared to their CXCR3- counterparts, accompanied by persistent activation of innate and T follicular helper cells in the tissues. Our data provide evidence for tissue-specific B cell memory after either SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or infection, but with distinct characteristics that can influence the quality, durability, and localization of immunity.

Enhanced mucosal SARS-CoV-2 immunity after heterologous intramuscular mRNA prime/intranasal protein boost vaccination with a combination adjuvant.

Current COVID-19 mRNA vaccines delivered intramuscularly (IM) induce effective systemic immunity, but with suboptimal immunity at mucosal sites, limiting their ability to impart sterilizing immunity. There is strong interest in rerouting immune responses induced in the periphery by parenteral vaccination to the portal entry site of respiratory viruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), by mucosal vaccination. We previously demonstrated the combination adjuvant, NE/IVT, consisting of a nanoemulsion (NE) and an RNA-based RIG-I agonist (IVT) induces potent systemic and mucosal immune responses in protein-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines administered intranasally (IN). Herein, we demonstrate priming IM with mRNA followed by heterologous IN boosting with NE/IVT adjuvanted recombinant antigen induces strong mucosal and systemic antibody responses and enhances antigen-specific T cell responses in mucosa-draining lymph nodes compared to IM/IM and IN/IN prime/boost regimens. While all regimens induced cross-neutralizing antibodies against divergent variants and sterilizing immunity in the lungs of challenged mice, mucosal vaccination, either as homologous prime/boost or heterologous IN boost after IM mRNA prime, was required to impart sterilizing immunity in the upper respiratory tract. Our data demonstrate the benefit of hybrid regimens whereby strong immune responses primed via IM vaccination are rerouted by IN vaccination to mucosal sites to provide optimal protection against SARS-CoV-2.

Oncogenic roles of young human de novo genes and their potential as neoantigens in cancer immunotherapy.

Young human de novo genes, recently emerging from non-coding regions, are expected to contribute to human-specific traits and diseases. However, systematic explorations of this connection have been lacking. Here, we report 37 recently originated de novo genes in humans, with their evolution and characteristics defined within an updated genomic context. The expression of these genes is significantly upregulated and temporospatially expanded in tumors, partially associated with extrachromosomal DNA amplification. Depletion of 57.1% of these genes suppresses tumor cell proliferation, underscoring their roles in tumorigenesis. As a proof of concept, we developed mRNA vaccines expressing ELFN1-AS1 and TYMSOS-young genes specifically expressed during early development but reactivated exclusively in tumors. In humanized mice, these vaccines triggered specific T cell activation and inhibited tumor growth. The antigens derived from these genes are immunogenic and capable of eliciting antigen-specific T cell activation in colorectal cancer patients. These findings underscore young human de novo genes as neoantigens in cancer immunotherapy.

In situ interleukin-4 gene expression in cancer patients treated with genetically modified tumor vaccine.

Patients with advanced malignancies, participating in our ongoing phase I interleukin-4 (IL-4) gene therapy protocol at the Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, were vaccinated with irradiated autologous tumor cells together with IL-4 gene-transduced irradiated autologous fibroblasts. The level of expression of the IL-4 gene in cultured transduced and selected fibroblasts and in biopsies obtained from vaccination sites was evaluated using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The number of copies of IL-4 mRNA/ng of total cellular RNA was determined in the transduced fibroblasts. Good agreement was observed between IL-4 message expression, as determined by RT-PCR, and IL-4 production, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the fibroblast supernatants. Tissue biopsies of multiple vaccination sites were obtained from the patients to determine the level of gene expression in situ for IL-4 and Neo-r. The Neo-r gene was used as a marker for transduced fibroblasts. Two weeks after the first vaccination, mRNA for the IL-4 gene was still detectable in all tissue biopsies. The Neo-r gene was also detectable, indicating the presence of transduced fibroblasts in the biopsy. After the second vaccination, expression of the IL-4 and Neo-r genes was generally the highest on day 1 after vaccine administration and was considerably lower but still detectable on day 14 in all biopsies tested. These data indicate that autologous dermal fibroblasts transduced with the IL-4 and Neo-r genes and used as a source of IL-4 in tumor vaccine are able to express the IL-4 gene in vivo.

Target, silence, replace: a review on RNA-based drugs in modern medicine.

RNA therapies have evolved into a revolutionary approach in contemporary medicine for treating various diseases by directly targeting RNA molecules engaged in disease pathogenesis. These therapeutic agents regulate biological processes through diverse mechanisms, including modulation of RNA function and gene expression. Medical applications of RNA are greatly enhanced by its structure, adaptability, and capacity for targeted binding. Among these traits is its ability to bind to certain molecules unique to those chemicals. RNA-based treatments have emerged from advancements in the production, modification, and cellular transport of RNA molecules. Several RNA drugs have been approved whereas some are under trial for few diseases. RNA therapeutics can function at the level of RNAs, DNAs and proteins. The evolution of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 epidemic emphasizes the exciting potential of RNA therapies in the treatment of diseases. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the several forms of RNA therapies, including small-interfering RNA (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and antisense-oligonucleotides (ASOs), together with information on their action mechanisms and delivery strategies that improve cellular absorption and shield RNA molecules from degradation. Further, CRISPR-based editing of the genome can be employed for modification of target RNA sequences for various disorders. Development of RNA aptamers have also been identified as pivotal RNA-therapeutic candidate. Additionally, we have explained mechanistic details and examples of drugs approved for RNA therapy. Emphasizing their potential to enhance patient outcomes and fulfil unmet medical requirements, we also highlight the clinical development of RNA therapies in treating cancer and other infectious diseases.

seq2ribo: structure-aware integration of machine learning and simulation to predict ribosome location profiles from RNA sequences.

MOTIVATION: Ribosome dynamics are vital in the process of protein expression. Current methods rely on ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq), RNA-seq profiles, and full genomic context. This restricts their use in de novo sequence design, like messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. Simulation-only approaches like the Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (TASEP) oversimplify translation by focusing solely on codon elongation times. RESULTS: We present seq2ribo, a hybrid simulation and machine learning framework that predicts ribosome A-site locations using only an mRNA sequence as input. Our method first employs a novel structure-aware TASEP (sTASEP), which models translation using a comprehensive set of fitted parameters that include codon wait times and structural features, such as local angles, base-pairing, and discrete positional buckets. The ribosome locations generated by sTASEP are then processed by a polisher model, which learns to refine the simulated ribosome distributions. seq2ribo provides high-fidelity predictions of ribosome locations across diverse cell types (iPSC, HEK293, LCL, and RPE-1), significantly outperforming baselines. seq2ribo is the first method to achieve meaningful positional correlation with observed ribosome profiles from sequence alone, reaching transcript-level Pearson correlations up to 0.920 and within-transcript shape correlations up to 0.186, where all baselines yield near-zero values on these metrics. seq2ribo also reduces elementwise error by up to 37.7% relative to the sequence-only Translatomer baseline. By adding a task-specific head, seq2ribo achieves Pearson correlations up to 0.732 with experimental translation efficiency (TE) across several cell lines, and up to 0.903 with measured protein expression. By operating from sequence alone, seq2ribo provides a new tool for synthetic biology, enabling the rational design and optimization of mRNA sequences without the need for expression-level data or genomic context. AVAILABILITY: seq2ribo is available at https://github.com/Kingsford-Group/seq2ribo.

Suppressive immunization with DNA encoding a self-peptide prevents autoimmune disease: modulation of T cell costimulation.

Usually we rely on vaccination to promote an immune response to a pathogenic microbe. In this study, we demonstrate a suppressive from of vaccination, with DNA encoding a minigene for residues 139-151 of myelin proteolipid protein (PLP139-151), a pathogenic self-Ag. This suppressive vaccination attenuates a prototypic autoimmune disease, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, which presents clinically with paralysis. Proliferative responses and production of the Th1 cytokines, IL-2 and IFN-gamma, were reduced in T cells responsive to PLP139-151. In the brains of mice that were successfully vaccinated, mRNA for IL-2, IL-15, and IFN-gamma were reduced. A mechanism underlying the reduction in severity and incidence of paralytic autoimmune disease and the reduction in Th1 cytokines involves altered costimulation of T cells; loading of APCs with DNA encoding PLP139-151 reduced the capacity of a T cell line reactive to PLP139-151 to proliferate even in the presence of exogenous CD28 costimulation. DNA immunization with the myelin minigene for PLP-altered expression of B7.1 (CD80), and B7.2 (CD86) on APCs in the spleen. Suppressive immunization against self-Ags encoded by DNA may be exploited to treat autoimmune diseases.

Programmable antibody-based chimeric entry receptors for sarbecoviruses.

Despite frequent spillover of sarbecoviruses, most SARS-related viruses discovered in animals fail to engage human ACE2 (hACE2), limiting mechanistic insight and risk assessment. Here we developed antibody-based chimeric entry receptors (ABCERs) that reprogram antibody-antigen recognition into a synthetic, cell-anchored receptor interface. By replacing the extracellular protease domain of hACE2 with single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) from broadly neutralizing antibodies, ABCERs mimic viral receptor engagement while preserving the intracellular architecture required for cathepsin L-dependent endocytic fusion. This modular design converts antibody specificity into a programmable entry module, supporting efficient infection and replication of diverse sarbecoviruses from both clinical and animal sources. Among the tested scFvs, E7 exhibited exceptional breadth, recognizing conserved epitopes shared across representative sarbecoviruses from all clades. Sera from Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-vaccinated individuals potently blocked E7 binding to SARS-CoV-2 but showed limited cross-inhibition of E7 interactions with RBDs from hACE2-independent sarbecoviruses, revealing a substantial gap in current vaccine-induced humoral immunity. Together, our findings establish E7-based ABCERs as a programmable synthetic receptor platform that bridges antibody recognition and viral propagation, offering a universal tool for isolating, studying, and surveying sarbecoviruses beyond the hACE2-dependent paradigm.

Dose-dependent IFN programs in myeloid cells after mRNA and adenovirus COVID-19 vaccination.

BACKGROUNDThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic provided a rare opportunity to study how human immune responses develop to a novel viral antigen delivered through different vaccine platforms. However, to date, no study has directly compared immune responses to all 3 FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccines at single-cell multiomic resolution.METHODSWe longitudinally profiled SARS-CoV-2-naive adults (n = 31) vaccinated with BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, or Ad26.COV2.S, integrating plasma cytokines, antibody titers, and single-cell multiomic data (DOGMA-Seq).RESULTSWe discovered a distinct, transient IFN program termed ISG-dim, which emerged specifically 1-2 days after the first mRNA dose in approximately 10% of myeloid cells. This state was characterized by ISGF3 complex activation and its target genes (e.g., MX1, MX2, DDX58), with transcriptional and epigenetic profiles distinct from the robust IFN program observed after mRNA boosting or a single Ad26.COV2.S dose (ISG-high). In vitro stimulation of human monocytes showed that IFN-α alone recapitulates ISG-dim, whereas both IFN-α and IFN-γ are required for ISG-high.CONCLUSIONThese findings define dose-dependent IFN programming in human myeloid cells and highlight mechanistic differences between priming and boosting, with implications for optimizing vaccine platform choice, dose scheduling, and formulation.FUNDINGNIH grants AI142086, U19 AI135972, U01 AI165452, U01 AI165452, R01 AI160706, and P30 AG067988.
