[0053] Experimental Example 1: Obtaining of Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405

[0054] This experimental example provides the process for obtaining Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405, and the specific process is as follows:

[0055] In an anaerobic workbench, take 29 frozen fecal samples from healthy people in the Shenzhen area, mix them evenly by equal volume to obtain a mixed sample; suck 0.5 mL of the mixed sample into an anaerobic blood culture bottle, and after statically incubating it in a constant temperature incubator at 37 °C for 3 days, first suck 0.1 mL of the mixed sample cultured for 3 days into 0.9 mL of PBS buffer (purchased from Solarbio, product number P1020) containing 1 g / L L-cysteine hydrochloride to obtain 10 -1 dilution, and then suck 0.1 mL of the 10 -1 dilution into 0.9 mL of PBS buffer containing 1 g / L L-cysteine hydrochloride to obtain 10 -2 dilution. According to this operation, successively obtain 10 -3 、10 -4 、10 -5 、10 -6 、10 -7 dilutions; suck 10 -5 dilution, 10 -6 dilution and 10 -7The diluent was coated on the deoxygenated YCFA solid medium at a coating amount of 100 μL / plate (each dilution of the diluent corresponded to 3 deoxygenated YCFA solid media). After static culture in a constant temperature incubator at 37 °C for 3 days, single colonies were picked and inoculated into the deoxygenated BHI liquid medium, and then statically cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 37 °C for 3 days to obtain bacterial solutions. After numbering each strain corresponding to each bacterial solution, Gram staining, strain identification, physiological and biochemical experiments, and genomic identification and analysis were carried out according to the steps described in the textbook "Microbiology" (edited by Shen Ping and Chen Xiangdong). Strains with typical characteristics of Limosilactobacillus mucosae were selected to obtain strain XA-1405.

[0056] The process of strain identification is as follows:

[0057] Take the cells of XA-1405, extract the genome of XA-1405 using a bacterial genomic DNA extraction kit, and use the 27F / 1492R primer pair with sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.3 respectively. Using the extracted genome of XA-1405 as a template for amplification, the 16S rRNA of XA-1405 was obtained (the 16S rDNA sequence of XA-1405 is shown in SEQ ID NO.1). The 16S rDNA of XA-1405 was subjected to nucleic acid sequence alignment using the Blastn program of NCBI. The results showed that this strain was Limosilactobacillus mucosae, and it was named Limosilactobacillus mucosae XA-1405.

[0058] Experimental Example 2: Effect of Limosilactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 on tumor growth in a colon cancer model mouse

[0059] This experimental example provided an experiment on the effect of Limosilactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 on tumor growth in a colon cancer model mouse. The experimental process was as follows:

[0060] Twenty C57BL / 6J mice (female, 5 weeks old, weighing 16 - 20 g, purchased from Beijing Huafukang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 5 mice in each group. The 4 groups were: blank control group (NC), PD-1 treatment group intragastrically administered with PD-1 inhibitor, Limosilactobacillus mucosae single bacteria treatment group (Mu) intragastrically administered with Limosilactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 bacterial suspension, and Limosilactobacillus mucosae + PD-1 combination treatment group (Mu + PD-1) intragastrically administered with PD-1 inhibitor and Limosilactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 bacterial suspension.

[0061] Each group of mice was adaptively fed in an environment with constant temperature and humidity, with free access to water. The experiment started after 7 days of adaptive feeding. After the experiment started, each group of mice was treated with antibiotics for two weeks. The administration method of antibiotic treatment was as follows: drinking water containing an antibiotic aqueous solution with an ampicillin concentration of 1 mg / mL, and gavage with a mixed antibiotic aqueous solution with a neomycin concentration of 10 mg / mL, a metronidazole concentration of 10 mg / mL, and a vancomycin concentration of 5 mg / mL. The gavage dose was 200 μL / mouse / time, and gavage was performed once a day. After the antibiotic treatment ended, the mice in the single-bacteria treatment group and the combined treatment group were gavaged with the bacterial suspension at a dose of 1×10 8 CFU / mouse / time, and the mice in the other groups were gavaged with an equal volume of PBS buffer, once a day. After 7 days of gavage, 5×10 5 MC38 cells (purchased from the ATCC cell bank) were subcutaneously inoculated into each group of mice, and the day of subcutaneous tumor inoculation was recorded as D0 (baseline). After subcutaneous tumor inoculation, the mice in the single-bacteria treatment group and the combined treatment group continued to be gavaged with the bacterial suspension until the end of the experiment, and the mice in the blank control group and the PD-1 treatment group continued to be gavaged with PBS buffer until the end of the experiment. When the average tumor volume reached 50 mm 3 , the mice in the PD-1 treatment group and the combined treatment group began to be injected with the PD-1 inhibitor (purchased from Biocell Company) at a dose of 100 μg / mouse / time, once every three days, for a total of four injections. During the experiment, starting from D0, the size and weight of the tumors of each group of mice were observed and measured every two days, and the tumor volume of each group of mice was calculated according to the formula tumor volume = 1 / 2 × tumor long diameter 2 × tumor short diameter. The measurement and calculation results are shown in Figures 1 - 3 .

[0062] As can be seen from Figures 1 - 3 , the tumors in the blank control group grew rapidly and reached 900 mm 3 at D21; the tumor growth rates in the PD-1 treatment group and the L. mucosae single-bacteria treatment group were significantly lower than those in the blank control group. The tumor volumes of these two groups at D21 were 416 mm 3 , 479 mm 3 respectively; the tumor growth rate in the L. mucosae + PD-1 combined treatment group was significantly lower than those in the blank control group, the PD-1 treatment group, and the L. mucosae single-bacteria treatment group, and the tumor volume at D21 was 109 mm 3 . This result shows that Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 can significantly reduce the growth rate of colon tumors, and can significantly increase the response efficiency of the PD-1 inhibitor, and further reduce the growth rate of colon tumors in the presence of the PD-1 inhibitor.

[0063] Experimental Example 3: Effect of Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 on the expression of related markers in tumors of colon cancer model mice

[0064] This experimental example provides an experiment on the effect of Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 on the expression of related markers in tumors of colon cancer model mice. The experimental procedure is as follows:

[0065] Add 3 mL of RPMI 1640 medium (Corning Cat#10-040-CVR) to each vial of Enzyme D freeze-dried powder in the Tumor Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi, CAT#130-096-730) to obtain Enzyme D solution; add 2.7 mL of RPMI 1640 medium to each vial of Enzyme R freeze-dried powder in the Tumor Dissociation Kit to obtain Enzyme R solution; add 1 mL of Buffer 1 reagent in the Tumor Dissociation Kit (Buffer 1 reagent: 1 part of Fixation / permeabilization Concentrate (4x) diluted with 3 parts of Fixation / Perm Diluent) to each vial of Enzyme A freeze-dried powder in the Tumor Dissociation Kit to obtain Enzyme A solution; add 2.35 mL of RPMI 1640 medium, 100 μL of Enzyme D solution, 50 μL of Enzyme R solution, and 12.5 μL of Enzyme A solution to a gentleMACS C tube to obtain a mixed enzyme solution; take the tumors of each group of mice at D21 obtained in Experimental Example 2; take the tumors, remove non-tumor tissues, cut them into pieces of 2 mm 3 After that, add them to the mixed enzyme solution to obtain a mixture; use a gentleMACS Octo tissue processor to filter, resuspend, and adjust the volume of the mixture to a cell concentration of 1×10 8 cell / μL to obtain a tumor cell suspension.

[0066] Take 10 μL of the tumor cell suspension and add it to a flow tube. Then, add 0.25 μg of CD8a antibody (APC-FIRE750 fluorescence) and 0.5 μg of CD45 antibody (BV785 fluorescence) (specific information on dyes and antibodies is shown in Table 1) to the flow tube to prepare a mixed solution. Centrifuge the mixed solution in the flow tube, discard the supernatant, resuspend it to the original volume with 100 μL of Buffer 2 reagent (Buffer 2 reagent: 1 part of Permeabilization Buffer (10x) diluted with 9 parts of pure water), and then load it onto the machine. Use a flow cytometer to collect data, and use Kaluza 2.1 software to analyze the percentages of CD45+ (immune cells) and CD4- / CD8a+ (cytotoxic T cells) in different immune cell subsets. Use Bartlett's test to test for homogeneity of variance and normality. The analysis results are shown in Figure 4 .

[0067] It can be seen from Figure 4 that compared with the PD-1 treatment group, the infiltration of CD8+ T cells (p < 0.05) in the tumor tissues of mice in the L. mucosae single-strain treatment group increased (by 5%). This result indicates that Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 mainly kills tumors by increasing the infiltration of CD8+ T cells and mainly kills tumors by increasing the infiltration of CD8+ T cells.

[0070] Experimental Example 4: Effects of Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 on the secretion of Granzyme B, IFN-γ, and TNF-α by CD8+ T cells

[0071] This experimental example provides an experiment on the effects of Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 on the secretion of Granzyme B, IFN-γ, and TNF-α by CD8+ T cells. The experimental procedure is as follows:

[0072] Isolate lymphocytes from Cd4 cre Id2 fl / fl mice (Taconic Stock#4196), and purify CD8+ T cells using MACS negative selection (Thermo Fisher Scientific) (purity > 95%). Purified CD8+ T cells were seeded at 1 × 10 6The addition amount of CFU / mL was added to RPMI 1640 medium (Corning Cat#10 - 040 - CVR) containing 10 ng / mL recombinant mouse IL - 2 pre - coated with anti - CD3 (concentration 1 μg / mL) and anti - CD28 (concentration 2 mg / mL), and incubated statically in an incubator at 37°C and 5% (v / v) CO 2 for 48 h; after 48 h of culture, the CD8+ T cells were washed with PBS buffer; after washing, using PBS buffer as the blank control and MRS liquid medium as the negative control, the CD8+ T cells were added to the heat - inactivated dead bacteria suspension of Lactobacillus mucosae and the culture supernatant of Lactobacillus mucosae until the cell concentration reached 1×10 6 CFU / mL, and incubated statically in an incubator at 37°C and 5% (v / v) CO 2 for 24 h; after 24 h of incubation, the contents of Granzyme B, IFN - γ and TNF - α in the incubation supernatant were detected by flow cytometry, and the experimental results are shown in Figures 5 - 7 .

[0073] It can be seen from Figures 5 - 7 that the heat - inactivated dead bacteria of Lactobacillus mucosae XA - 1405 can significantly promote the expression of IFN - γ (p = 0.005) and Granzyme B (p = 0.002) in CD8+ T cells, and the culture supernatant of Lactobacillus mucosae XA - 1405 can significantly promote the expression of TNF - α in CD8+ T cells (p = 0.020) (a 5% increase compared with the negative control group). This result indicates that the metabolites of Lactobacillus mucosae XA - 1405 can effectively promote anti - tumor immunity.

[0075] This experimental example provides an experiment on the effects of Lactobacillus mucosae XA - 1405 on the proliferation of gastric cancer cell line AGS and colon cancer cell line HCT116. The experimental procedure is as follows:

[0076] Co - culture experiment of gastric cancer cell line AGS: One vial of gastric cancer cell line AGS cells (purchased from ATCC) was added to a T25 cell flask containing RPMI 1640 medium (Corning Cat#10 - 040 - CVR) with 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum, 1% (w / v, g / 100 mL) penicillin and 1% (w / v, g / 100 mL) streptomycin, and incubated at 37°C and 5% (v / v) CO 2It was statically cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C for 72 h to obtain adherent AGS cells. After discarding the culture supernatant in the T25 cell flask, the adherent AGS cells in the T25 cell flask were washed with PBS buffer. After the washing was completed, 0.25% trypsin digestion solution was added to the T25 cell flask at an addition amount of 2 mL / flask to soak the adherent AGS cells for 30 s. After the soaking was completed, the 0.25% trypsin digestion solution was discarded, and the adherent AGS cells in the T25 cell flask were digested at 37°C for 2 min. After the digestion was completed, the AGS cells in the T25 cell flask were resuspended with RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum and pipetted evenly to obtain an AGS suspension with a cell concentration of 2×10 4 CFU / mL; Using PBS buffer as a blank control and Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) (purchased from ATCC) as a negative control, after inoculating the AGS suspension into a 96-well plate at an inoculation amount of 100 μL / well, the cells of Lactobacillus mucosae were inoculated into the 96-well plate at an inoculation amount of 2×10 6 CFU (MOI = 100:1), and it was statically cultured in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and 5% (v / v) CO 2 . During the culture period, the cell density in the 96-well plate was detected every 24 h for 4 consecutive days. The detection results are shown in Figure 8 ; Among them, the detection method of cell density was as follows: After discarding the culture supernatant in the 96-well plate, 100 μL of RPMI 1640 medium containing 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent (purchased from Dojindo) was added to each well, and it was incubated in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and 5% (v / v) CO 2 for 2 h. After the incubation was completed, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader.

[0077] Co-culture experiment of colon cancer cell line HCT116: On the basis of the co-culture experiment of gastric cancer cell line AGS, the AGS cells of gastric cancer cell line were replaced with HCT116 cells of colon cancer cell line (purchased from ATCC). The detection results are shown in Figure 9 ; Among them, the detection method of cell density was as follows: After discarding the culture supernatant in the 96-well plate, 100 μL of RPMI 1640 medium containing 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent (purchased from Dojindo) was added to each well, and it was incubated in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and 5% (v / v) CO 2 for 2 h. After the incubation was completed, the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader.

[0078] As can be seen from Figures 8 - 9 , the viable bacteria of Lactobacillus mucosae XA-1405 have a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of gastric cancer cell line AGS and colon cancer cell line HCT116 (compared with the blank control group, it inhibited by 38%).

[0079] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or alterations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or alterations derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of this invention.
