Because of the Mycobacterium bovis, termed Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), the only available used Tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, retaining immunomodulatory properties that limit its protective immunogenicity, there are continuous efforts to identify the immunosuppression mechanism as well as new strategies for improving immunogenicity of BCG. Here, an ssDNA aptamer “antibody” BM2 that specifically bound to Mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM) of BCG was selected. BM2 significantly blocked ManLAM-Mannose Receptor (MR) binding and triggered ManLAM-CD44 signaling, and enhanced M1 macrophage and Th1 activation via cellular surface CD44 in vitro and in vivo. BM2 enhanced immunoprotective effects of BCG against virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) H37Rv infection in mice and monkeys models. Thus, we report a new mechanism of the interaction between ManLAM and CD44 on macrophages and CD4+ T cells, and reveal that ManLAM-binding membrane molecule CD44 is a novel target for the enhancement of BCG immunogenicity and BM2 has strong potential as an immune enhancer for BCG.
