Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly relates to application of modified Hui Liu decoction in preparation of products against Klebsiella and in vitro screening of active ingredients against Klebsiella. BACKGROUND
[0002] Klebsiella is a kind of gram-negative bacillus, belonging to Enterobacteriaceae, and mainly divided into 7 species, among which Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca are the main pathogenic bacteria. Klebsiella Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen in hospital-acquired and community infections, which can cause pneumonia, urinary tract infection, bloodstream infection, liver abscess, meningitis, enteritis and other diseases. Klebsiella pneumoniae In recent years, Klebsiella pneumoniae shows resistance to many antibiotics, especially carbapenem-resistant strains (CRKP), which poses a major threat to public health. Klebsiella oxytoca In order to adapt to the surrounding environment, Klebsiella pneumoniae forms a biofilm. Klebsiella pneumoniae forms a complex structure on the surface of the host body or internal organs through the biofilm, thereby enhancing its adhesion ability and protecting it from the host immune system. Therefore, Klebsiella pneumoniae in the biofilm state shows significant antibiotic resistance, and conventional antibiotics are difficult to eradicate the biofilm. In addition to the combination of multiple antibiotics, surgical debridement or new anti-biofilm strategies (such as phage therapy) are also needed. There is no specific antibiotic for Klebsiella.
[0003] However, the large use of antibiotics (especially broad-spectrum antibiotics) can destroy the balance of intestinal flora, and pathogenic bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterococcus, etc.) overproliferate, while probiotics (such as Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus) decrease. The toxins (such as endotoxins, enterotoxins) secreted by pathogenic bacteria can directly damage the intestinal mucosal barrier, increase intestinal permeability, and make bacteria and their metabolites enter the mucosal lamina propria, activate the immune system and trigger an inflammatory response.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0032] Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important pathogen in hospital-acquired and community infections, which can cause various diseases. Klebsiella pneumoniae has shown resistance to many antibiotics, and biofilm is a key factor for its antibiotic resistance. There is no specific antibiotic for Klebsiella alone, and it is difficult to eradicate biofilm with conventional antibiotics, so methods to deal with its drug resistance need to be combined with surgery debridement or new anti-biofilm strategies. However, the overuse of antibiotics can disrupt the balance of intestinal flora, causing excessive proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, which can directly damage the intestinal mucosal barrier and increase intestinal permeability, allowing bacteria and their metabolites to enter the mucosal lamina propria, activate the immune system and trigger an inflammatory response.
[0033] The present application first found that the modified Weiyu Decoction has significant antibacterial activity against Klebsiella, can significantly down-regulate the abundance of Klebsiella in the intestine, and has a significant inhibitory effect on Klebsiella biofilm formation. Therefore, the present application provides the application of the modified Weiyu Decoction in the preparation of products against Klebsiella.
[0034] The present application also provides the application of the modified Weiyu Decoction in screening active ingredients against Klebsiella or active ingredients affecting the expression of Klebsiella biofilm-related genes in vitro.
[0035] The scheme of the present application will be described below through specific embodiments.
[0036] The polygonatum, platycodon, halloysite, dasyochloa, mentha, and honeyed licorice used in the following embodiments all meet the respective provisions of the corresponding medicinal materials in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition, and the fresh green onions are commercially available.
[0037] The composition of the anaerobic culture solution used in the following embodiments is as follows: dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 0.293 g / L, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 0.176 g / L, sodium chloride 0.443 g / L, ammonium sulfate 0.45 g / L, calcium chloride 0.045 g / L, magnesium sulfate 0.094 g / L, resazurin 0.001 g / L, L-cysteine 0.5 g / L, L-ascorbic acid 0.5 g / L, sodium carbonate 4.0 g / L, beef extract powder 1.0 g / L, protein peptone 1.0 g / L, agar 1.0 g / L, and pH value (25℃) 7.5-8.0.
[0038] K. pneumoniae used in the following examples was from BNCC with strain number BNCC102997 (equivalent number ATCC10031).
[0039] Other reagents and drugs used in the following examples were obtained from commercial sources unless otherwise specified. The experiments involved in the following examples used conventional experimental methods in the art except for the contents specified.
[0040] Example 1 This example investigated the effect of modified Heiyou Decoction on inhibiting K. pneumoniae and its biofilm formation.
[0041] 1. Experimental materials 1.1 Preparation of modified Heiyou Decoction sample (JJ) Raw materials: 180 g of Polygonatum, 120 g of raw green onion, 90 g of Platycodon, 60 g of Cynanchum, 240 g of Soybean, 90 g of Mentha, 30 g of Fried Licorice, and 400 g of Jujube.
[0042] Except for Mentha and raw green onion, the rest of the medicinal materials were soaked in water with a water amount of 10 times the weight of the medicinal materials for 30 minutes, and extracted by heating reflux for 2 hours. The medicinal liquid was filtered through gauze. The second extraction was performed by adding water with a water amount of 8 times the weight of the medicinal materials, and extracting for 2 hours. 15 minutes before the end of the second extraction, Mentha and raw green onion were added. After removing the medicinal residues, the two medicinal liquids were combined. After cooling, the medicinal liquid was evaporated to dryness using a rotary evaporator, and concentrated to the state of extract. The extract was poured into a culture dish, covered with plastic wrap, and small holes were punched on the surface to facilitate the evaporation of water vapor. After being frozen overnight in a refrigerator at -25°C, the freeze-drying machine was started, and the sample was freeze-dried until the water was completely removed, and a powder was obtained. The powder was transferred to a centrifuge tube, sealed, and placed in a desiccator for standby.
[0043] 1.2 Preparation of modified Heiyou Decoction sample without Polygonatum (JY) Raw materials: 120 g of raw green onion, 90 g of Platycodon, 60 g of Cynanchum, 240 g of Soybean, 90 g of Mentha, 30 g of Fried Licorice, and 400 g of Jujube.
[0044] The preparation method was the same as that of the modified Heiyou Decoction sample.
[0045] 1.3 Preparation of Polygonatum sample (YZ) P. multiflora was soaked in 10 times the weight of water for 30 minutes, and extracted by heating reflux for 2 hours. The liquid was filtered through gauze. The second extraction was performed by adding 8 times the weight of water to P. multiflora, and boiling for 2 hours. The residue was removed, and the two extracts were combined. After the liquid was cooled, the excess water was evaporated using a rotary evaporator. The liquid was concentrated to the extract state, poured into a petri dish, covered with plastic wrap, and small holes were punched in the surface to allow the water vapor to escape. The sample was placed in a -25°C freezer overnight, and then placed in a freeze dryer. The sample was freeze-dried until the water was completely removed, and the sample was in powder form. The P. multiflora sample was obtained.
[0046] 2. Experimental methods 2.1 Antibacterial activity of modified Huiyu Decoction on Klebsiella pneumoniae JJ and JY freeze-dried powder was added to sterilized LB medium to prepare drug-containing medium (liquid) with a freeze-dried powder concentration of 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg / mL. YZ freeze-dried powder was added to sterilized LB medium to prepare drug-containing medium (liquid) with a freeze-dried powder concentration of 1.56, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg / mL. Klebsiella pneumoniae was activated and cultured to the logarithmic growth phase (bacterial solution concentration 1 x 10 7 CFU / mL), and the obtained bacterial suspension was added to LB agar medium (1:2500, v / v), mixed, and poured into a plate as a detection layer, with nutrient agar medium as a support layer. 50 μL of the liquid and 50 μL of sterile water for the negative control and 10 μL of 50 mg / mL kanamycin sulfate for the positive control were added to the wells. The Oxford cup method was used to detect the antibacterial ring size of JJ, JY, and YZ, and to evaluate the antibacterial activity.
[0047] 2.2 Effect of modified Huiyu Decoction and intestinal flora co-culture on intestinal flora abundance An appropriate amount of fresh mouse feces was placed in an anaerobic culture bag, transferred to an anaerobic incubator, mixed with sterile saline (feces: saline (m:v) = 1:5), and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was discarded to obtain a fecal bacterial suspension.
[0048] The drug group: the fecal bacterial suspension was mixed with JJ, JY, and YZ anaerobic culture solution at a volume ratio of 1:9, and the final concentration of JJ, JY, and YZ was 5 mg / mL. The blank group (con) was a mixture of anaerobic culture solution without drugs and fecal bacterial suspension at a volume ratio of 1:9. The mixtures of the drug group and the blank group were cultured at 37°C under anaerobic conditions, and samples were taken at 0 and 24 h. The fecal genomic DNA of the samples was extracted. Using the extracted sample genomic DNA as a template, the mRNA expression levels of different bacterial genera were detected and calculated (using the con group as a control reference, relative expression = 2 -△△ct ).
[0049] 2.3 Effect of Jiajian Weirui Decoction on Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm formation After activating the frozen bacterial suspension, subculture until bacterial growth stabilizes and viability is restored. Transfer 10 μL of the bacterial suspension to LB medium and LB medium containing JJ (5 mg / mL) and culture until the bacterial logarithmic growth phase. Transfer the activated bacterial suspension to a 24-well plate. Add LB medium alone and LB medium containing JJ as blank controls. Incubate in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C for 24 hours to promote biofilm formation. Biofilm formation in each group was examined using crystal violet staining. Finally, add 75% ethanol to each well, gently shake the plate, and completely dissolve the biofilm for 3-5 minutes at room temperature. Absorbance was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader.
[0050] Frozen Klebsiella pneumoniae were activated by inoculating 10 μL of the frozen bacterial solution into 5 mL of LB medium and shaking at 200 rpm for 18 h. After 1-2 passages, 10 μL of the bacterial solution was transferred to LB medium and LB medium containing modified Weirui Decoction (5 mg / mL). After shaking and incubation for 24 h, the bacterial solution was centrifuged and the supernatant of the bacterial culture was collected. The concentration of bacterial autoinducer-2 (AI-2) was detected by ELISA kit.
[0051] 2.4 Effect of Jiajian Weirui Decoction on Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm-related genes Drug-containing media (JJ, JY, and YZ) at a concentration of 5 mg / mL were prepared using LB medium. A blank control (con group) was inoculated with activated K. pneumoniae culture medium containing no drug and cultured on a shaking platform for 24 hours. Bacterial RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed, and the expression levels of biofilm genes were determined using fluorescent quantitative PCR.
[0052] 3. Experimental results 3.1 Antibacterial activity of JJ, JY, and YZ against Klebsiella pneumoniae According to the evaluation index: inhibition zone > 20 mm is extremely sensitive, 15-20 mm is highly sensitive, 10-15 mm is moderately sensitive, and <10 mm is resistant, the antibacterial activity of different concentrations of drug solution was judged. The antibacterial diameter of JJ at 200 mg / mL was 13.2±0.2 mm, which showed moderate sensitivity, and the antibacterial diameter of JJ at 400 mg / mL was 15.3±0.2 mm, which showed high sensitivity; the antibacterial diameter of JY at 200 mg / mL was 10.8±0.2 mm, and the antibacterial diameter of JY at 400 mg / mL was 14.3±0.2 mm, both showing moderate sensitivity. The other concentrations had no antibacterial activity. Figure 1 shown.
[0053] 3.2 Effects of JJ, JY and YZ on the abundance of intestinal flora in mice The abundance of intestinal flora at the phylum and genus levels was determined by in vitro co-culture of JJ, JY and YZ with intestinal microorganisms in mice and qPCR technique. At the phylum level, the abundance of Firmicutes was significantly increased in JJ and JY groups (p<0.05, p<0.01), and the abundance of Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria tended to decrease in JJ and JY groups compared with the con24 group (blank group at 24 h). The abundance of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria was also reduced in YZ group. At the genus level, the abundance of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Bacteroides tended to increase in JJ group compared with the con24 group, and the abundance of Akkermansia was significantly increased in JJ and JY groups compared with the con0 group (blank group at 0 h) (p<0.01, p<0.05). The abundance of Klebsiella was significantly reduced in JJ, JY and YZ groups compared with the con24 group (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.01). As shown in Figure 3. Figure 2
[0054] 3.3 Effects of JJ on the formation of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm Biofilm crystal violet staining showed that JJ and JY significantly inhibited the formation of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm. Semi-quantitative detection by enzyme-labeled instrument showed that LB medium containing 5 mg / mL JJ and JY could significantly inhibit the formation of Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm compared with LB medium (p<0.001).
[0055] LB medium containing 5 mg / mL JJ and JY could significantly reduce the production of AI-2 compared with LB medium alone (p<0.001). As shown in Figure 4. Figure 3

[0058] 1. Experimental materials: same as in Example 1.
[0059] 2. Experimental method 2.1 Preparation of experimental animal model, grouping and administration scheme 6-week-old clean healthy C57BL / 6N male mice were used as research subjects.
[0060] Experimental grouping: C57BL / 6N mice were randomly divided into control (Control, hereinafter abbreviated as Con) group, model group (Model), administration group (respectively: Jiawei Heiyu Decoction (JJ) group, Jiawei Heiyu Decoction without Yu Zhu (JY) group, Yu Zhu (YZ) group, high-dose Yu Zhu (2YZ) group, positive drug (dexamethasone, DEX) group) by random number control method, a total of 7 groups, 18 mice in each group.
[0061] Preparation of animal model: Before modeling, the mice were weighed and placed in a fixed device, exposing the tail, and the tail was wiped with a 75% alcohol cotton ball to fully reveal the tail vein. A disposable 1 mL sterile insulin syringe was used to draw the LPS (1 mg / mL) solution prepared in advance, with a modeling dose of 5 mg / kg, and injected at a dose of 0.1 mL / 20g. During the drawing process, large air bubbles were avoided, the needle was slowly inserted into the vein, and the liquid was pushed at a uniform speed. Dry cotton balls were used to press the injection site to prevent bleeding. The model group and the administration group were injected into the tail vein for modeling for 3 consecutive days on the 3rd, 4th and 5th days of the experiment, and the blank group was injected with an equal amount of normal saline.
[0062] Dosing method: each group of mice was given intragastrically once a day for 7 consecutive days. According to the clinical drug dose and the conversion relationship between the mouse dose and humans, the mouse doses of the positive drug group, the modified Weiliu Decoction group, the modified Weiliu Decoction without Yu Zhu group, the Yu Zhu group, and the high-dose Yu Zhu group were 5 mg / kg, 7.8650 g / kg (clinical equivalent dose, calculated as crude drug), 6.6950 g / kg (calculated as crude drug), 1.56 g / kg (clinical equivalent dose, calculated as crude drug), and 3.12 g / kg, respectively. The intervention was performed at a dose of 0.1 mL per 10 g of body weight, and the blank group and the model group were given the same volume of ultrapure water.

[0069] 3. Experimental results 3.1 Mouse signs Intraperitoneal injection of LPS can significantly induce abnormal physiological state of mice. Compared with the control group, the model group mice showed fluffy and upright fur, reduced spontaneous activity, slow reaction, and typical symptoms such as loose stool or diarrhea. After administration of JJ and YZ, the spirit, hair and feces of mice were improved. As shown in the table. Figure 5 .
[0070] 3.2 Mouse weight The body weight of mice in the control group gradually increased over time, while the body weight of mice in the model group decreased continuously from the 4th day after modeling. Compared with the control group, the body weight of mice in the model group decreased significantly (p<0.001) at the end of the experiment. After administration, JJ group, YZ group and 2YZ group significantly improved the weight loss of mice caused by LPS modeling (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001), and JY group had no effect on the weight of mice. As shown in the table. Figure 6 .
[0071] 3.3 Colonic pathological injury of mice The crypt structure of the mucosa layer of the control group mice was complete, compared with the control group, the crypt structure of the model group was distorted, the inflammation infiltration of the lamina propria and submucosa appeared, the submucosa edema, and the connective tissue hyperplasia, suggesting intestinal barrier dysfunction. Compared with the model group, the colonic pathological injury was reduced after treatment with JJ and YZ. As shown in the table. Figure 7 .
[0072] 3.4 Intestinal lamina propria immune cells of mice The flow cytometry results showed that Figure 8 .
