Use of Bordetella Strains for the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a major clinical challenge mostly due to cigarette smoke exposure and affects more than 200 million people. The inventors tested if exposure to the Bordetella pertussis BPZE1 strain could modulate outcomes of chronic exposure to cigarette smoke in mice. In particular, they showed in mice chronically exposed to cigarette smoke that preventive and / or curative vaccination using BPZE1 could limit the lung inflammation and strongly contribute to the prevention of lung function decline. BPZE1 vaccination modulated pulmonary antigen presenting cells (macrophages and dendritic cells) to switch the immune response, by decreasing the IL-17 inflammatory pathway involved in the pathology of COPD itself, and by favouring a tolerogenic response (IL-10). Together, the data show that vaccination with BPZE1 of mice chronically exposed to cigarette smoke limits the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease outcomes and thus represents an interesting therapy.
