Background
The baker’s yeast, saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been widely used throughout our daily life in diverse aspects for thousands of years. The saccharomyces cerevisiae was found to specifically target the dendritic cells (DCs) in mammalian with a manner of antigen-receptor interaction as described previously. It is necessary to investigate the effect of the baker’s yeasts on global gene expression dynamics of intestinal DCs and explore the possibilities of using baker’s yeast as gene delivery vehicle to modulate animal’s immune functions
Results
with a murine oral delivery model in vivo, we confirmed the feasibility of using budding yeast as gene delivery vehicle to the intestinal DCs using the Western blots. We then examined the transcriptome profile of the mouse intestinal DCs upon yeast stimulus. The enrichment analysis of unique transcripts indicated the beneficial role of yeast in modulating the DC-mediated adaptive immunity. Compared with previous study, we also found that a large fraction of the regulated genes is coincident with the response induced by other fungus, suggesting that the budding yeast induces a similar tailored unique genetic re-programming of DCs. Another analysis of transcriptome profile indicated that expression of β-catenin gene significantly changes DCs gene expression related to inflammatory response and cell adhesion.
Conclusions
Here, we defined the role of budding yeast on global gene expression of intestinal DCs, and confirmed the important role of β-catenin gene on the DCs-related inflammatory response, which provides a framework for the development of mucosa yeast-based DNA vaccine.
