چکیده

Objective(s): Many types of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been identified, with some leading to cancer and others to skin lesions such as anogenital warts. Studies have demonstrated an association between oncogenic HPV and cervical cancer and many researchers have focused on therapeutic vaccines development. At present, the modulatory effect of opioids on the innate and acquired immune system is characterized. Antagonists of opioid receptors such as naloxone (NLX) can contribute to the shifting Th۲ response toward Th۱. Herein; we studied the adjuvant activity of NLX/Alum mixture for improvement of the immunogenicity of HPV-۱۶E۷d vaccine. Materials and Methods: The mice were administered different regimens of vaccine; E۷d, E۷d-NLX, E۷d-Alum, E۷d-NLX-Alum, NLX, alum and PBS via subcutaneous route for three times with two weeks interval. Two weeks after the last immunization, the sera were assessed for total antibody, IgG۱ and IgG۲a with an optimized ELISA method. The splenocytes culture supernatant was analyzed by ELISA for the presence of IL-۴, IFN-g and IL-۱۷ cytokines and lymphocyte proliferation was evaluated with Brdu method. Results: Immunization of mice with HPV-۱۶ E۷d vaccine formulated in NLX/Alum mixture significantly increased lymphocyte proliferation and Th۱ and Th۱۷ cytokines responses compared to other experimental groups. Analysis of humoral immune responses revealed that administration of vaccine with NLX/Alum mixture significantly increased specific IgG responses and also isotypes compared to control groups. Conclusion: NLX/Alum mixture as an adjuvant could improve cellular and humoral immune responses and the adjuvant maybe useful for HPV vaccines model for further studies in human clinical trial.
