Developing new adjuvants that can effectively induce both humoral and cellular immune responses while broadening the immune response is of great value. In this study, we aimed to develop GM-CSF- or IL-18-expressing single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) adjuvants based on the encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and tested their efficacy in combination with ovalbumin (OVA) or inactivated influenza vaccines. Notably, cytokine-expressing RNA adjuvants increased the expression of antigen-presenting cell activation markers. Specifically, GM-CSF-expressing RNA adjuvants increased CD4+T cell responses, while IL-18-expressing RNA adjuvants increased CD8+T cell responses in mice when combined with OVA. In addition, cytokine-expressing RNA adjuvants increased the frequency of polyclonal T cells in combination with the influenza vaccine and reduced the clinical illness scores and weight loss of mice after viral challenge. Collectively, our results suggest that cytokine-expressing RNA adjuvants can be applied to protein-based or inactivated vaccines to increase their efficacy.
