مستخلص: Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, mediated by natural killer (NK) cells and antibodies, emerged as a secondary correlate of protection in the RV144 HIV vaccine clinical trial, the only vaccine thus far demonstrating some efficacy in human. Therefore, leveraging NK cells with enhanced cytotoxic effector responses may bolster vaccine induced protection against HIV. Here, we investigated the effect of orally administering indole-3-carbinol (I3C), an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist, as an adjuvant to an RV144-like vaccine platform in a mouse model. We demonstrate the expansion of KLRG1-expressing NK cells induced by the vaccine together with I3C. This NK cell subset exhibited enhanced vaccine antigen-specific cytotoxic memory-like features. Our study underscores the potential of incorporating I3C as an oral adjuvant to HIV vaccine platforms to enhance antigen-specific (memory-like) cytotoxicity of NK cells against HIV-infected cells. This approach may contribute to enhancing the protective efficacy of HIV preventive vaccines against HIV acquisition.
