Description | ヒト成人の皮膚総面積の200倍以上を占める粘膜の表層では,常に細菌やウイルスといったさまざまな病原体が体内への侵入を試みている.それに贖う手段として,非特異的防御バリア(自然免疫機構)と特異的防御バリア(獲得免疫機構)が粘膜部では作働している.粘膜ワクチンは,病原体の侵入門戸である粘膜面に病原体由来の抗原と免疫賦活化剤(アジュバント)を直接投与することにより,自然免疫機構を効率良く誘導し,異的防御バリアの主体となる抗原特異的分泌型IgA抗体を産生することを可能とする.
われわれはこれまで,加齢の影響を受けにくい鼻咽腔関連リンパ組織(NALT)の樹状細胞をターゲットに,サイトカインFlt3 ligand発現DNAプラスミドとCpGオリゴデオキシヌクレオチドを併用した経鼻ダブルDNAアジュバント(dDA)システムの構築を行い,高齢者にも応用可能な粘膜ワクチンの開発を目指してきた. 本稿では,経鼻dDAシステムが抗老化作用を有すること,また感染症のみならずNCDs発症を防ぐ経鼻ワクチンへの応用の可能性について,われわれの最新の知見を紹介する.近い将来,本粘膜ワクチンが,感染症だけでなくNCDsをも制御することで,わが国の「健康寿命の延伸」と「健康格差の縮小」という国家課題の克服と,世界的に進行する超高齢社会における高齢者のQOL向上に寄与できるツールとなり,口腔保健医療サービスの充実に貢献できればと考える. |
Description Alternative | The surface layer of the mucosa, which, in adult humans, is estimated to have a surface area over 200 times greater than that of the skin, is constantly in contact with foreign antigens, against which non-specific defense (innate immune mechanisms) and specific defense (acquired immune mechanisms) systems are activated. In the mucosal areas that are entry points for foreign antigens, the efficient production and secretion of secretory IgA (SIgA) antibodies, comprising the main form of specific defense, and mucosal vaccines, which are efficient antigen delivery systems for inducing and promoting antibody production, may offer strategic tools for preventing not only infections, but also the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We have previously undertaken research and development of an immunostimulating agent (adjuvant) for use with mucosal vaccines based on mucosal immunity, particularly nasal vaccines that are administered to the nasal cavity. More specifically, a double DNA adjuvant (dDA) system that targets dendritic cells, which are antigen-presenting cells, was developed, and basic research was conducted using a number of different antigens, including a comparison of the immune response to these antigens when they were introduced into the nasal cavities of young and old experimental animals (mice). Recently, we have been working toward the development of a mucosal vaccine capable of preventing infection or NCDs that can also be used by older people. In this review article, I will introduce the advantages of mucosal vaccines as well as recent findings in our group. We anticipate the development of an effective tool in the near future whereby mucosal vaccines could prevent NCDs as well as various infectious diseases and fulfil the national goals of “the extension of healthy life expectancies” and “reduction of health disparities”. In addition, we hope that mucosal vaccines will markedly contribute to the oral health service in the super-aging society.
