Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of antiviral microecological preparations for livestock and poultry, and particularly relates to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H-6 and its application in the preparation of a medicament for treating or preventing porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection. Background Art

[0002] Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) is a highly contagious disease mainly characterized by reproductive disorders in sows and respiratory disorders in pigs of all ages caused by Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSV). PRRSV infection can cause respiratory system diseases in pigs of all ages. At the same time, PRRSV infection can also cause disorders of the body's immune system, resulting in immunosuppression, thereby triggering secondary or mixed infections of other pathogens such as Porcine circovirus type 2, Streptococcus suis, and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. This causes multiple inflammations to break out simultaneously in the later stage of PRRSV infection, ultimately leading to an increase in the mortality rate of the infected pig population and causing huge economic losses to the live pig breeding industry. However, due to the high variability of PRRSV, the continuous emergence of new strains, immune escape, and poor cross-protection effects between heterologous strains, the protective efficacy of existing vaccines is limited, and PRRSV infection has not been well controlled. The emergence of mutant strains often leads to the prevalence of PRRSV diseases. Related antiviral drug research has found that the research and development of antiviral drugs often have the characteristics of high R & D costs, long R & D cycles, and high production costs. As a green and safe microorganism, probiotics have a wide variety of species and sources, providing a new idea for the research and development of anti-PRRSV drugs and being one of the effective options for developing anti-PRRSV drug preparations at present.

[0003] As one of the important infectious diseases affecting the development of the world's live pig breeding industry, although domestic and foreign research on PRRS has been carried out for more than 30 years, there is still no highly effective antiviral product in clinical practice. Summary of the Invention

[0038] To better understand the content of the present invention, the following further describes the content of the present invention in combination with specific embodiments. However, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. The test methods and conditions in the embodiments of the present invention are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified. The technical solutions described in the present invention are all conventional solutions in the field unless otherwise specified; the reagents or materials are all from commercial channels unless otherwise specified.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] Screening of probiotic strains against PRRSV infection

[0041] 1. Culture of Marc-145 cells

[0042] Take out the cryopreserved Marc145 cells from the liquid nitrogen tank, quickly thaw them by heating in a 37°C water bath, then place the cell suspension in a centrifuge tube for centrifugation. After centrifugation, discard the supernatant, resuspend with 1640 complete medium containing 10% serum and transfer to a T25 cell culture flask. Place the cell flask in a constant temperature cell incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 for culture. After the cells grow into a uniform monolayer, discard the supernatant, wash 3 times with PBS, then add trypsin to digest the cells for 3 - 5 minutes, terminate the digestion with 1640 complete medium, centrifuge and discard the supernatant, add fresh complete medium to resuspend the cells, and then transfer the cells into a new cell culture flask or culture plate for standby.

[0043] 2. Preparation of probiotic fermentation broth

[0044] Streak-culture the glycerol bacteria of 92 self-preserved Bacillus strains stored in the applicant's laboratory, then pick a single colony and inoculate it into 50 ml of NB liquid medium. After culturing on a shaker at 37°C for 24 hours, centrifuge at 3500 r / min for 10 minutes, take the supernatant and store it at -80°C for standby.

[0045] 3. Anti-PRRSV treatment of probiotic fermentation broth in Marc 145 cells and alveolar macrophages (PAM)

[0046] Uniformly inoculate Marc145 cells into a 24-well cell culture plate and place it in a constant temperature cell incubator for culture. After the cells grow into a uniform monolayer, discard the supernatant, wash 3 times with sterile PBS, then inoculate with 1640 medium containing different probiotic fermentation broths, where the concentration of the probiotic fermentation broth is 10 μL / mL. Additionally, set up a blank control group without the fermentation broth. After 6 hours, discard the supernatant, wash 3 times with PBS, then inoculate with a mixture of 1640 medium containing different probiotic fermentation broths and PRRSV virus (0.1 MOI). After culturing in the cell incubator for 2 hours, discard the supernatant, wash 3 times with PBS, then inoculate with a new medium containing different probiotic metabolites, and place the 24-well cell culture plate in a constant temperature cell incubator for 24 hours. The method of treating primary alveolar macrophages (PAM cells) with the probiotic fermentation broth is the same as that for Marc145.

[0047] 4. Determination of virus load in cells and virus fluids

[0048] The 24-well cell plate after the above-mentioned 24-hour culture was placed in an -80°C refrigerator and repeatedly frozen and thawed 3 times to fully release the virus particles in the cells. Then, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation for virus load detection. The detection method was carried out according to the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method recommended by the national standard for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus detection in the People's Republic of China (GB / T 18090-2023). The primer sequences were F: 5’-GCACTGATTGACAYTGTGCC-3’; R: 5’-CGCATGGTTCTCGCCAAT-3’; and the probe primer was: 5’-(FAM)AGTCACCTATTCAATTAGGGCGACCG(TAMRA)-3’.

[0049] The results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 As shown, among the 92 screened probiotic strains, it was found that the fermentation broths of probiotic strains No. 57, No. 62, No. 66, No. 71, No. 74, and No. 88 had significant anti-PRRSV activity compared with the control group, with P < 0.001 and CT values higher than those of the control group. Marc145 cells and primary PAM cells were treated with the fermentation broth of strain No. 74 and then infected with the PRRSV attenuated strain NAD30, the highly virulent strain WH3, and the recombinant strain PRRSV-GFP, respectively. After 24 hours of infection, the virus content in the cells was detected. The results showed that the average CT values of NAD30, WH3, and PRRSV-GFP in Marc145 cells treated with the fermentation broth of strain No. 74 increased by 12.88, 13.09, and 2.39, respectively, compared with the control group; the average CT values of NAD30, WH3, and PRRSV-GFP in primary PAM cells treated with the fermentation broth of strain No. 74 increased by 7.43, 10.52, and 6.07, respectively, compared with the control group. The above results indicate that probiotic strain No. 74 can significantly inhibit the proliferation of the PRRSV attenuated strain NAD30, the highly virulent strain WH3, and the recombinant strain PRRSV-GFP in Marc145 cells and primary PAM cells. Strain No. 74 has broad-spectrum antiviral activity against PRRSV, so strain No. 74 was further identified.

[0050] 5. Biological characteristics and identification of strain H-6 with anti-PRRSV activity

[0051] After testing, it was found that probiotic strain No. 74 was a Gram-positive bacterium, which could form spores and was non-motile; the colonies on the NA medium were circular structures with a diameter of 3-4 mm and a smooth surface. The study found that the optimal growth temperature of this bacterium was 37°C, and the optimal growth pH was 6-7. 16S detection showed that the similarity of this bacterium to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was as high as 99.9%.

[0052] The applicant of the present invention named it Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H-6. This strain was sent to the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) on December 06, 2024. Classification name: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H-6, deposit number: CCTCC NO: M 20242740, address: Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

[0055] Example 2:

[0056] Effect of Probiotic Preparation on PRRSV Infection in Pigs

[0057] 1. Preparation of Probiotic Preparation Against PRRSV

[0058] First, the cryopreserved Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H-6 was resuscitated. An appropriate amount of freeze-dried bacterial powder was dipped with a 1 mL pipette tip and inoculated into NB liquid medium, followed by shaking culture at 37 °C for 12 h. After 12 h, an appropriate amount of bacterial liquid was taken with an inoculation loop and streaked on NA solid plate medium and cultured at 37 °C for 12 h. Then, single colonies were picked and inoculated into NB liquid medium, and cultured at 37 °C and 160 rpm for 12 h.

[0059] Subsequently, the H-6 bacterial liquid was inoculated into a 30 L small-scale industrial fermenter at a volume ratio of 1:1000 and fermented at a constant temperature of 37 °C. The fermentation medium was NB liquid medium with a pH of 6.5 - 7.0. During the fermentation process, the tank pressure was always maintained at 0.05 - 0.06 MPa, and the initial rotation speed of the fermenter was 150 rpm. When the dissolved oxygen in the fermenter was lower than 20%, the rotation speed was gradually increased to 700 rpm. After 16 h of fermentation, microscopic examination was carried out to observe the formation of bacterial spores, and the spore conversion rate was estimated by the five-point counting method. When the spore conversion rate reached more than 90%, the fermentation was stopped, the tank was emptied, and the bacterial liquid was counted. The concentration of the emptied bacteria was generally 100 - 150×10 9 CFU / mL. Then, the fermentation broth was spray-dried to prepare H-6 probiotic fermentation dry powder as the raw material of the probiotic preparation against PRRSV, and stored in a 4 °C refrigerator for later use.

[0060] 2. Preparation of Experimental Animal Facilities and Experimental Animals

[0061] One week before the start of the animal experiment, the animal experiment room was thoroughly cleaned and fumigated and disinfected for standby. Two days before the experiment, the experimental piglets were transported to the animal room. Ten healthy PRRSV-negative piglets at 40 days of age were randomly grouped and fed in the animal room for 2 days. The feeding status of the piglets was observed to ensure that each piglet could eat and drink normally.

[0062] 3. Animal experiment design

[0063] Ten PRRSV-negative pigs (40-day-old weaned piglets) were randomly divided into two groups, a control group and an experimental group, with 5 pigs in each group. The numbers of the 5 pigs in the control group were 131, 132, 133, 134, and 135 respectively, and the numbers of the 5 pigs in the experimental group were 41, 42, 43, 44, and 45. All animals were raised in an animal room that met the GMP animal experiment specifications. The control group was fed piglet feed without H-6 preparation; the experimental group was fed piglet feed containing H-6 preparation and ensured that each pig was fed 5×10 89 CFU live bacteria preparation; after 10 days of feeding, they were infected with the highly pathogenic PRRSV strain WH3 by nasal drip, and the infection dose was 10 4 TCID 50 , and the experimental grouping is shown in Table 2.

[0064] Table 2. Grouping of animal experiments on probiotic preparations against PRRSV infection

[0065]

[0066] 4. Effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens preparation on the clinical morbidity of PRRSV-infected pigs

[0067] After PRRSV infection, the body temperature (rectal temperature) and body weight of the piglets were measured. At the same time, the clinical characteristics of the piglets after infection were observed and recorded, including appetite, mental state, body surface state, respiratory symptoms, and neurological symptoms, and scored according to the clinical indicators shown in Table 3. Among them, the score for a death case = total clinical score + 5 points = 20 points, and the clinical evaluation criteria are shown in Table 3. The results are shown in Table 4 and Figure 3 as shown. The clinical morbidity symptoms of the experimental group after infection were significantly lower than those of the infected pigs in the control group.

[0072] 5. Effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens preparation on the mortality rate of PRRSV-infected pigs

[0073] After PRRSV infection, the health status of pigs was observed daily, and the clinical conditions of the infected pigs were recorded and clinically evaluated. The results are shown in Table 4: In the control group, 2 pigs died on the 14th day, 1 pig died on the 18th day, and 1 pig died on the 24th day, with a survival rate of 20%; no deaths occurred in the experimental group, and the survival rate was 100%.

[0074] 6. Effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens preparation on the body temperature of PRRSV-infected pigs

[0075] Starting from the 0th day after PRRSV infection, the body temperature of pigs was measured every other day until the 30th day. In the control group, the infected pigs began to die on the 14th day. The dead pigs were immediately dissected to observe the visceral lesions; after the experiment, all pigs in the experimental group were dissected to observe the visceral lesions.

[0076] The results are shown in Table 5 and Figure 5 as follows: In the control group, the body temperature of pig No. 131 reached 41°C on the 4th day after infection and remained above 40°C until it died on the 24th day; the body temperatures of pigs No. 132, 133, 134, and 135 all reached above 40°C on the 4th day after infection, and the body temperatures of pigs No. 133 and 134 reached above 41°C on the 6th day after infection. Then, pig No. 133 died on the 18th day after infection, and pig No. 134 died on the 14th day after infection; in the experimental group, pigs No. 41 and 42 began to show body temperatures above 40°C successively on the 8th day after infection. Among them, pigs No. 41 and 42 had a fever state of 41°C on the 10th and 12th days after infection, and then fluctuated between 40°C and 39°C and finally stabilized below 40°C, and no deaths occurred during this period.
