Objective To evaluate the immune protective effect of resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) DNA vaccine on M.tuberculosis (Mtb) infected mice. Method Rpf D and Rpf E plasmid DNA vaccines were construct.180 BALB/c mice with 4weeks of age were divided into 6 groups, 30 mice each group were immunized with empty plasmid, Rpf D plasmid DNA, Rpf E plasmid DNA, BCG and saline,respectively.All of mice were infected by aerosol with Mtb H37Rv. Serum anti-Rpf D or E antibodies and IFN-γ were detected. The lymphocyte proliferation assay and cytotoxicity test were performed, IFN- γ, IL-12 and IL-2 levels were tested after immunization with RpfD, EDNA vaccine. Histopathologic examination of the lung and CFU count were performed. Results ( 1 ) The antibody levels against RpfD and E were as follow:Rpf D group 0.32±0.1, Rpf E group 0.39±0.1, BCG group 0.02±0.01, empty plasmid group 0.01±0.0, saline group 0.09±0.04, blank group 0.03±0.01.The antibody levels in RpfD group and E group were significantly higher than those in BCG group, empty plasmid group, saline group, and blank group (F value:Rpf D: (45.6, 43.2, 45.1, 45.7);RpfE: (51.6, 53.6, 51.0, 52.2);P〈0.01). Serum IFN-γ evels:Rpf D group (43.9±24.8) pg/ml, Rpf E group (45.9±21.0) pg/ml, BCG group (21.0±11.0) pg/ml, empty plasmid group (7.9±4.9) pg/ml, saline group (4.7±2.1) pg/ml, blank group (5.8±4.7) pg/ml, Serum IFN-γ levels of RpfD group and E group were higher than empty plasmid group, saline group, and blank group (F value:Rpf D:15.6, 17.8, 17.3 Serum IFN-γ levels of Rpf E:17.5, 21.1, 20.7, P〈0.01) . (2) The lymphocyte proliferation assay using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) showed:Rpf D group 176.0±4.2, Rpf E group 183.0±4.3, BCG group 101.0±1.1, empty plasmid group 100.0±6.8, saline group 104.0±8.4, blank group 116.0±2.2, which in vaccine groups were significantly higher than the other controls (F value:Rpf D:9.5, 10.1, 10.0, 9.0, Rpf E:11.2, 12.9, 11.7, 10.3, P〈0.05) . Cytotoxicity test showed:Rpf D group 32.0±3.2, Rpf E group 30.0±4.2, BCG group 16.0±5.9, empty plasmid group 3.3±1.5, saline group 6.7±0.5, blank group 7.3±3.5. The proliferation index in RpfD group and RpfE group was higher than the other control groups (F value Rpf D:8.8, 14.5, 13.7, 11.9; Rpf E:8.1, 12.5, 11.6, ll.1;P〈0.05) . (3) Cytokines in the supernatant of lymphocytes stimulated by Rpf D and Rpf E:IL-21evel:Rpf D group 9.5±-2.4, Rpf E group 9.2±1.2, BCG group 2.4±2.1, empty plasmid group 1.2±0.3, saline group 1.8 ± 1.0, blank group 1.5 ± 0.7. The IL-2 levels in RpfD group and RpfE group were higher than the other control groups (F value Rpf D: 12.5, 14.6, 13.5, 13.9 ; Rpf E:12.0, 13.6, 13.1, 13.2 ; P〈0.05) . IFN-γ level : Rpf D group 22.2±5.7, Rpf E group 28.7± 14.4, BCG group 16.1±10.1, empty plasmid group 9.8± 1.6, saline group 13.2±2.1, blank group 15.7±2.9. The IFN-γ level in RpfD group and RpfE group were higher than the other control groups (F value Rpf D:7.8, 12.6, 8.7, 8.3; Rpf E:11.3, 16.4, 14.7, 14.2 : P〈0.05) . Conclusion RpfD and RpfE DNA vaccines can induce immune responses including humoral and cellular immunogenicity in Mtb infected BALB/c mice. Rpf might be used as the vaccine candidate.
