Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms, and in particular to application of Akkermansia muciniphila in preparing products for preventing, treating and / or assisting in treating tumors. Background Art
[0002] Akkermansia belongs to the phylum Verrucomycetes. It is a Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, oval bacterium that colonizes the surface of the gastrointestinal mucosa and uses gastric mucus protein as a carbon source. Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK) is found in fecal specimens of healthy people. It resides in the intestinal mucosa layer, has adhesion to epithelial cells, and can degrade mucin on the surface of the intestinal epithelium.
[0003] Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as colorectal cancer, includes the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. It is a common malignant tumor that seriously endangers human health. The clinical manifestations of early colorectal cancer are mostly asymptomatic, and a few only show abdominal pain, abdominal distension and diarrhea. In the middle and late stages, it manifests as changes in stool properties, abdominal pain, abdominal masses and intestinal obstruction. Currently, surgical resection is the main treatment for colorectal cancer, but surgical resection may increase the risk of tumor spread and metastasis. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are commonly used treatments for patients with advanced colorectal cancer metastasis, but they are prone to drug resistance and side effects. Gene therapy, cell therapy and immunotherapy are expensive. At present, there is an urgent need for a method for treating colorectal cancer with high acceptance and good therapeutic effects.
[0004] Chinese patent CN108367031A discloses the use of Akkermansia muciniphila for treating inflammatory conditions, and specifically discloses that a composition comprising one or more strains of Akkermansia muciniphila has the effect of preventing and / or treating gastrointestinal inflammation associated with the following conditions: inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, pouchitis, and post-infectious colitis.

The study in this patent found that Akkermansia muciniphila JF3 can effectively improve rectal fibrosis, rectal mucosal damage, anal damage and colorectal inflammation caused by radiation proctopathy. Akkermansia muciniphila JF3 can be used as a drug for treating rectal fibrosis, rectal mucosal damage, anal damage and colorectal inflammation caused by radiation proctopathy.

[0205] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purpose and efficacy of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained in conjunction with specific embodiments below, but the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, not all. Based on the embodiments in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the operating methods used are conventional operating methods, the equipment used are conventional equipment, and the equipment materials used in each embodiment are the same.
[0206] Interleukin 1β (IL-1β): It is produced by activated macrophages in the form of proprotein and processed into active form by caspase-1 (CASP1 / ICE). IL-1β is an important mediator of inflammatory response and participates in a variety of cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.
[0207] Interleukin 6 (IL-6): It is an interleukin that can act as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. It is currently a commonly used indicator for detecting infectious diseases in clinical practice.
[0208] Interferon-γ (IFN-γ): is a cytokine, a protein produced by T lymphocytes, natural killer cells and some other immune cells. IFN-γ plays an important role in the immune system, enhancing the body's immunity and resisting the invasion of pathogens.
[0209] Inducible NO synthase (iNOS): It is a type of enzyme that uses nitric oxide's oxidative stress (free radicals) to assist macrophages in fighting pathogens in the immune system. iNOS is a messenger molecule that can produce nitric oxide (NO). When DSS causes inflammation in the body, a large amount of NO expression will aggravate the inflammation and promote the high expression of iNOS.
[0210] Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB): Participates in the response of cells to external stimuli, such as cytokines, radiation, heavy metals, viruses, etc. NF-κB plays a key role in the process of cell inflammation and immune response. NF-κB is composed of five transcription factors, which regulate the expression of various genes involved in a variety of biological processes. These processes include inflammation, cell development and differentiation, cell cycle progression, cell migration, etc.
[0211] The Akkermansia muciniphila in the present invention is AKK PROBIO, abbreviated as AKKP.
[0212] In the following examples, the AOM / DSS mouse model established by combining the mutagen azoxymethane (AOM) with the inflammatory agent dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) can simulate the whole process of the mouse colon from normal mucosa to inflammation, and then to tumor. The model tumor location is mostly located in the distal colon, first growing in a polyp-like shape, and its pathological characteristics are similar to those of human CRC (Snider AJ, Bialkowska AB, Ghaleb AM, et al. Murine model for colitis-associated cancer of the colon [J]. Methods Mol Biol, 2016, 1438: 245-254.), which can reflect the development pattern of human colon inflammation progressing to tumor.

[0232] 1.3 Experimental methods
[0233] 1.3.1 Animal grouping and treatment
[0234] SPF male C57BL / 6 mice, 6 weeks old, were purchased from Chongqing Labite Biotechnology Co., Ltd. They were kept in a standardized laboratory with a room temperature of 25±2℃, a relative humidity of 50±5%, and 12h light / 12h dark. After 1 week of adaptive feeding, they were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal group, model group, aspirin positive control group, AKK PROBIO low dose (AKKP-L) group and AKK PROBIO high dose (AKKP-H) group, with 8 mice in each group.
[0235] During the experiment, mice were allowed to eat and drink freely. On the first day of the experiment, the model group, aspirin group, AKKPROBIO low-dose group and AKK PROBIO high-dose group were injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg / kg azoxymethane (AOM), and were fed with 2.5% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) aqueous solution at the 2nd, 5th and 8th weeks, respectively.
[0236] The mice in the normal group and the model group were gavaged with sterile saline every day; the mice in the aspirin group were gavaged with 67 mg / kg aspirin solution; the mice in the AKK PROBIO low-dose group and the AKK PROBIO high-dose group were gavaged with 1×10 8 CFU / cell and 1×10 9 CFU / mouse was administered by gavage for 10 weeks.
[0237] During the experiment, the diet, activity, spirit, hair condition and feces of each group of mice were observed, and the weight of the mice was weighed and recorded every week. After the experiment, blood was collected from the eyeballs and the mice were killed by spinal dissection. The large intestine, spleen, liver and kidney tissues of the mice were dissected and tested.
[0238] 1.3.2 Detection indicators
[0239] 1.3.2.1 Determination of organ indicators
[0240] After the mice were dissected, the large intestine, spleen, liver, and kidney tissues were removed and weighed, and the mouse organ index was calculated using the formula (organ index = liver weight (mg) / body weight (g)). At the same time, the colorectal length of the mice was measured and the number of colorectal tumors in the mice was recorded.
[0241] 1.3.2.2 Pathological observation of rectal tissue
[0242] The mouse rectum was fixed in tissue fixative for 24 hours, then transferred to 95% ethanol for dehydration, and then placed in xylene to displace the alcohol in the tissue to make the rectal tissue transparent. It was then embedded in paraffin, sliced with a microtome, stained with H&E and fixed to make mouse rectal pathological tissue sections with a thickness of 2-3 μm, and observed under an upright microscope.
[0243] 1.3.2.3 Number of colorectal tumors
[0244] After the mice were autopsied, the number of colorectal tumors in the mice was recorded.
[0245] 1.3.2.4 Determination of levels of inflammatory factors in mouse serum
[0246] Whole blood was collected from the eyeball, centrifuged at 4000 r / min, 4°C for 10 min, and the upper serum was separated. According to the instructions of the ELISA kit, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, iNOS and NF-κB in mouse serum were determined.
[0247] 1.3.2.5 Determination of the expression levels of inflammation- and apoptosis-related genes in mouse colon tissue
[0248] (1) Take 50 mg of colon tissue, wash it with physiological saline, and place it in a homogenizer tube containing 6 zirconium oxide beads. Add 500 μL Trizol reagent to extract RNA from the tissue. The purity and concentration of RNA are measured by micro-spectrophotometer. A260 / A280 is an indicator value for nucleic acid detection. A ratio between 1.8-2.0 indicates that the RNA purity is high and subsequent tests can be carried out.
[0249] (2) After generating cDNA by reverse transcription, prepare a reaction system containing 1 μL cDNA. The remaining reagents include 10 μL qPCRSYBR Green Master Mix, 7 μL sterile distilled water, and 1 μL each of upstream and downstream primers. qRT-PCR amplification reaction conditions: 95°C, 10 s, 60°C, 30 s, 40 cycles; 95°C, 15 s, 60°C, 60 s, 95°C, 15 s. With Eef2 as the internal reference gene, according to Formula 2 -△△Ct Calculate the relative mRNA expression of each target gene. Table 1 below shows the primer sequences used in this experiment.
[0250] Table 1.
[0251]
[0252] 1.4 Data Analysis
[0253] All the results in the experiment were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and the one-way ANOVA in IBM SPSS27.0 software was used to test whether there were significant differences among the experimental results of each group at the p < 0.05 level.
[0254] 1.4.1 Effect of AKK PROBIO on the body weight of colorectal cancer model mice
[0255] The mice in the normal group were healthy, moved freely, had shiny black fur, ate and drank water normally, and had no diarrhea or blood in the stool. The mice in the other four groups had loose stools, rectal prolapse, blood in the stool, and weight loss. Figure 1 The figure shows the statistical graph of the weight changes of mice in each group. During the period of administration of 2.5% DSS, the weight of mice in each modeling group showed a downward trend, and after cessation, the weight of mice in each group showed a gradual increasing trend. At the end of the experimental period, the weight of mice in each modeling group was significantly lower than that of mice in the normal group, among which the weight loss of mice in the model group was the lowest, while the weight of mice in the aspirin and AKK PROBIO intervention groups recovered. Compared with the normal group, the weight of the remaining four groups of mice at the end of the experimental period was significantly different (p<0.05). The results show that AOM / DSS can cause weight loss in mice, and aspirin and AKK PROBIO intervention can alleviate the weight loss of mice to a certain extent.
[0256] 1.4.2 Effects of AKK PROBIO on the colorectum of colorectal cancer model mice
[0257] like Figure 2 The following table shows the changes in the colorectum of each group of mice. When the colorectum of mice is inflamed, the length of the colorectum of the mice is shortened to a certain extent. The colorectal inflammation can be analyzed from the colorectal length. Compared with the normal group, the colorectal length of the other four groups was shorter (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the colorectal length of the aspirin group and the AKKP group was longer (P<0.05). As shown above, AKKP intervention can alleviate the shortening of the colorectum of mice.
[0258] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the ratio of the colorectal weight to the colorectal length of mice in the normal group was 2.81±0.34, the model group was 4.34±0.35, the aspirin group was 3.17±0.50, the AKKP-L group and the AKKP-H group were 3.18±0.31 and 2.97±0.18, respectively. The model group was significantly different from the normal group, the aspirin group, and the AKKP group (p<0.05). This shows that AKKP intervention can reduce the ratio of the colorectal weight to the colorectal length of mice.
[0259] The experimental results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in the figure, compared with the normal group, the number of colorectal tumors in the other four groups was significantly higher (p<0.05), and the number of colorectal tumors in the normal group was 0. Compared with the model group, the number of colorectal tumors in the aspirin group and the AKK PROBIO group was lower (p<0.05). The results show that AKK PROBIO intervention can effectively reduce the number of intestinal tumors in mice.
[0260] 1.4.3 Effects of AKK PROBIO on spleen, liver and kidney indexes in colorectal cancer model mice
[0261] Organ index is one of the basic indicators in biomedical research. Figure 5-Figure 7 The following are statistical graphs of the spleen, liver, and kidney indexes of mice in each group. Compared with the normal group, the spleen weight and liver weight of mice in the model group increased significantly (p<0.05), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the model group, the spleen weight and liver weight of the aspirin group and the AKK PROBIO group were reduced, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). The kidney tissue structure of the 5 groups of mice was normal, and there was no significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). It can be seen that AKK PROBIO can effectively alleviate the increase in spleen and liver indexes of colorectal cancer caused by AOM / DSS.
[0262] 1.4.4 Effect of AKK PROBIO on the pathological morphology of rectal tissue in colorectal cancer model mice
[0263] like Figure 8-Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the normal group mice had intact rectal mucosal epithelial cells, normal crypts, neatly arranged glands, and no ulcers. Severe erosion of the rectal mucosa was observed in the model group, almost all crypts were destroyed, goblet cells decreased sharply, inflammatory cell infiltration occurred, glandular disorder, and severe ulcers were observed. No obvious erosion was observed in the rectal mucosa of mice in the aspirin group, AKK PROBIO low-dose group, and AKK PROBIO high-dose group, the crypts were relatively intact, the glands were neatly arranged, and the goblet cells were relatively intact. Histological results showed that AKK PROBIO effectively reduced the histopathological damage of the rectum in AOM / DSS-induced mice.
[0264] 1.4.5 Effect of AKK PROBIO on serum inflammatory factor levels in colorectal cancer model mice
[0265] Cytokines are a class of small molecule proteins synthesized by immune cells and some non-immune cells, which can bind to corresponding receptors to regulate immune responses, mediate inflammation and participate in tissue repair. Neutrophil infiltration of colonic mucosa and macrophages secrete a large number of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines during inflammation, thereby exacerbating the inflammatory state. Figure 13-17 Shown are the results of measuring the levels of related proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, iNOS and NF-κB in the serum of CRC model mice.
[0266] The IL-1β content in the serum of mice in the model group was the highest, and the IL-1β content in the serum of mice in the normal group, aspirin group, and AKKP group was lower than that in the model group, and there was a significant difference (P<0.05). This shows that AKKP can significantly reduce the level of IL-1β in the serum of CRC mice.
[0267] Compared with the normal group, the IL-6 content in the serum of the model group mice was the highest, and there was a significant difference between the two (P<0.05). The IL-6 content in the serum of the aspirin group and the AKKP group mice was reduced, but there was no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05). This shows that AKKP can significantly reduce the inflammatory factors in the serum of CRC mice.
[0268] Compared with the normal group, the IFN-γ content in the serum of mice in the model group was the highest, and there was a significant difference between the two (P<0.05). The IFN-γ content in the serum of mice in the aspirin group and AKKP group was lower than that in the model group (P<0.05), and the content in the AKKP-H group was similar to that in the normal group, with no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05).
[0269] The iNOS content in the serum of mice in the model group was the highest. The iNOS content in the serum of mice in the normal group, aspirin group and AKKP group was lower than that in the model group, and there were significant differences between them (P<0.05).
[0270] The NF-κB content in the serum of mice in the model group was the highest. The NF-κB content in the serum of mice in the normal group, aspirin group and AKKP group was lower than that in the model group (P<0.05), and the content in the AKKP-H group was similar to that in the aspirin group, with no significant difference among the groups (P>0.05).
[0271] 1.4.6 Effect of AKK PROBIO on mRNA expression levels of related factors in colon tissue of colorectal cancer model mice
[0272] 1.4.6.1 mRNA expression levels of inflammatory pathway-related factors in colon tissue
[0273] Members of the NF-κB family include RelA / p65, RelB, c-Rel, NF-κB1 (p50 / p105) and NF-κB2 (p52 / p100). Studies have shown that under the induction of AOM / DSS, the NF-κB signaling pathway of mice is activated, which is manifested as increased levels of inflammation in the body. Therefore, by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, mice can be protected from inflammatory stimulation and the occurrence and development of CRC can be intervened.
[0274] Figure 18-21 is the mRNA expression level of p50, p52, p65 and IκBβ.
[0275] The mRNA expression levels of p50 and IκBβ in the colon tissue of mice in the model group were the highest. The relative mRNA expression levels of p50 and IκBβ in the colon tissue of mice in the aspirin group and AKKP-H group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the relative expression levels of p50 and IκBβ in the colon tissue of mice in the high-concentration group and the normal group (P>0.05).
[0276] The mRNA expression levels of p52 and p65 in the colon tissue of mice in the model group were the highest. The relative mRNA expression levels of p52 and p65 in the colon tissue of mice in the normal group, aspirin group and AKKP group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the relative expression levels of p52 and p65 in the colon tissue of mice in the AKKP-H group and the aspirin group (P>0.05).
[0277] 1.4.6.2 mRNA expression levels of apoptosis pathway-related factors in colon tissue
[0278] Caspases are central to the apoptotic machinery, as they are both initiators (caspase-2, caspase-8, caspase-9, and caspase-10, which are primarily responsible for the initiation of the apoptotic pathway) and executioners (caspase-3, caspase-6, and caspase-7, which are responsible for the definitive cleavage of cellular components) of cell death. The intrinsic pathway is tightly regulated by the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of intracellular proteins. Bid is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that is directly regulated by miR-20a in CRC cells to induce mitochondrial apoptosis. Bim-mediated intrinsic apoptosis regulates apoptosis in CRC cells.
[0279] Figure 22-Figure 24 The relative expression of caspase-9, Bid and Bim in the colon of mice in the model group was the lowest, and the relative expression of caspase-9, Bid and Bim in the colon tissue of mice in the normal group, aspirin group and AKK PROBIO group was significantly increased (p<0.05), and the mRNA expression in the AKK PROBIO group showed a concentration-dependent trend. With the increase of AKK PROBIO gavage concentration, the mRNA expression of caspase-9, Bid and Bim in the colon of mice in the AKK PROBIO high-dose group was significantly increased (p<0.05). This shows that gavage of AKK PROBIO to CRC mice can increase the mRNA expression of caspase-9, Bid and Bim in colon tissue, thereby reducing the degree of intestinal damage.
[0280] In summary, AKK PROBIO has a significant regulatory effect on mouse colorectal cancer. It can alleviate the weight loss, shortened colorectal length, and increased spleen and liver indexes induced by AOM / DSS in mice to a certain extent, effectively reducing the number of tumors in CRC mice and the degree of damage to rectal tissues; it can significantly reduce the expression levels of proinflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ, iNOS, and NF-κB in mouse serum; at the gene level, it can significantly downregulate the mRNA expression levels of p50, p52, p65, and IκBβ in colon tissues, and upregulate the mRNA expression levels of caspase-9, Bid, and Bim in colon tissues, reduce the degree of intestinal inflammation, and affect the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer. AKK PROBIO has a good intervention effect on colorectal cancer.
[0281] Comparative Example
[0282] Referring to the experimental method in Example 1, the strain was replaced with the ATCC standard strain (ATCC BAA 835). The dose of ATCC standard strain group mice was 1×109 CFU / piece, and the rest were the same as in Example 1.
[0283] The experimental results are shown in the following table:
