Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of exosome application, and more specifically, to the use of Parabacteroides in the treatment of psoriasis. Background Art
[0002] Psoriasis is an innate and adaptive immune system disease. It is a common chronic, relapsing skin disease with clinical symptoms of papules covered with multiple layers of silvery-white scales. Keratinocytes, dendritic cells and T cells play a core role in the disease. Recent studies have shown that psoriasis is associated with many complications, especially metabolic diseases. Intestinal microorganisms not only have an important impact on psoriasis, but also have a regulatory effect on host metabolism and obesity. Studies have shown that the intestinal microbiota plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of the epithelial barrier and forming the mucosal immune system to fight exogenous pathogens.
[0003] At present, the treatment methods for psoriasis include topical medication and oral medication. Among them, topical medications include: emollients, glucocorticoid creams or ointments, vitamin A preparations, vitamin D3 derivatives, salicylic acid ointments, tar preparations, anthralin ointments and compound preparations. Topical medications are generally applied to the symptom site to achieve the purpose of alleviating and treating the disease. They have the advantages of fast onset and few systemic adverse reactions. However, local adverse reactions may occur after long-term application, it is inconvenient for patients with widespread skin lesions to apply, and there are large differences in patient compliance. In addition, for patients with severe conditions and large areas of skin lesions, there is no good treatment effect, and oral medications are needed for combined treatment. Among them, oral medications include: immunosuppressants, biological agents (targeted immunomodulatory preparations), antibiotics and hormone drugs. However, this type of drug has problems such as large side effects and repeated illness. For example, long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs such as methotrexate will cause greater damage to the liver, stomach and kidneys; for example, after taking hormone drugs, the drug is discontinued, and the recurrence of the disease is more significant.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop new uses for treating psoriasis, which can provide a new direction for improving the problem that current topical drugs cannot completely cure the disease. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present application provides a use of Parabacteroides in the treatment of psoriasis; Parabacteroides exosomes introduce new genes or proteins to improve psoriasis at the genetic level, providing a new direction for the treatment of psoriasis.
[0006] The present application provides a method for treating psoriasis with Parabacteroides exosomes using the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for treating psoriasis with exosomes of Parabacteroides, wherein the Parabacteroides is selected from Parabacteroides distilogenes ( Parabacteroides distasonis), Parabacteroides gordonii ( Parabacteroides gordonii ), Parabacteroides johnsonii ( Parabacteroides johnsonii ), Parabacteroides faecium ( Parabacteroides merdae ) and Parabacteroides gordonii ( Parabacteroides goldsteinii ) any one or more of ).
[0008] The interleukin (IL)-23 / Th17 axis in patients with psoriasis has received increasing attention because IL-23 drives the differentiation of Th17 cells, which then produce IL-22 and IL-17; these inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-17, accelerate the development of psoriasis. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the IL-23 / Th17 axis for the treatment of psoriasis. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (OMVs) are spherical nanovesicles formed by the outward protrusion of the outer membrane of bacteria during growth. The particle size is 10~300nm, mainly composed of phospholipids, proteins, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), nucleic acids and bacterial metabolites. They play a key role in intercellular communication by transporting bioactive molecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, metabolites) from donor cells to recipient cells. These active molecules enter the host, bind to certain receptor cell proteins, and produce an immune response. Among them, this application shows that Parabacteroides has a therapeutic effect on psoriasis.
[0009] Optionally, the Parabacteroides is Parabacteroides gordonii ( Parabacteroides goldsteinii ).
[0010] Parabacteroides gordonii ( Parabacteroides goldsteinii, Abbreviation P. goldsteinii ) is a new type of intestinal symbiotic probiotic, oral P. goldsteinii It can treat obesity and related metabolic disorders in mice, reduce inflammation and insulin resistance. This application verifies the probiotics from the intestine through mouse experiments. P. goldsteinii The extracellular vesicles (PG-OMVs) can improve the symptoms of psoriasis model mice. The results of H&E staining showed that the epidermal skin of psoriasis model mice became thinner, the invasion of the spinous part into the dermis was reduced, and the skin damage was alleviated. In other words, after PG-OMVs acted on psoriasis model mice, they could significantly improve the psoriasis symptoms of psoriasis model mice. In addition, the PG-OMVs can significantly improve the expression levels of related pro-inflammatory factors at the mRNA level, such as IL-1β and IL-23 / IL-17 axis-related cytokines (IL-23α, IL-22, IL-17A, IL17F). In other words, the PG-OMVs have the potential to target and cure psoriasis.
[0011] Optionally, when the Parabacteroides exosomes are used to treat psoriasis, they are prepared into a pharmaceutical composition for use, and the dosage form of the pharmaceutical composition is selected from any one or more of microneedles, sprays, solutions, gelatin capsules, soft capsules, lozenges, chewing gum and dry powder preparations.

Specific pharmaceutical dosage forms include but are not limited to those listed above, and any pharmaceutical dosage forms that can achieve the effect of Parabacteroides exosomes are acceptable.
[0013] Optionally, the components in the pharmaceutical composition further include other auxiliary components, and the other auxiliary components are selected from one or more of probiotics, adjuvants, excipients, auxiliary agents, dispersants, food additives and pharmaceutical additives.

[0092] The specific staining results are as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0093] To analyze the effects of PG-OMVs, hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed on the injured skin of mice. Figure 4As shown in the figure, compared with the Control group, the epidermal area of the skin of the psoriasis model mice (IMQ group) after IMQ treatment increased significantly due to the excessive proliferation of keratinocytes, and the spinous layer thickened and invaded the dermis. The epidermal thickness of the mice on the back was subsequently measured, and the epidermal thickness of the mice in the IMQ group was significantly thickened compared with that in the Control group. There was no significant difference in the data between the IMQ group and the IMQ-G group, indicating that the hydrogel had no effect on psoriasis; by comparing the hematoxylin and eosin staining results of the IMQ group and the IMQ-GO group, it was found that after treatment with PG-OMVs, the epidermal skin of the mice in the IMQ-GO group became thinner, the invasion of the spinous part into the dermis was reduced, and the skin damage was alleviated, indicating that the application of PG-OMVs to psoriasis-like mice induced by imiquimod (IMQ) reduced the pathological characteristics of the mouse skin, and PG-OMVs had the effect of alleviating psoriasis.
[0094] 3. Determination of mRNA expression of inflammatory factors
[0095] (1) Tissue RNA extraction
[0096] I. Tissue Grinding
[0097] On the 8th day of the experiment, skin specimens from the injured area on the back of the mice were obtained for tissue RNA extraction.
[0098] Pre-treat the grinding tube, scissors, tweezers and grinding beads with DEPC-H2O (ultrapure water treated with diethylpyrocarbonate and sterilized by high temperature and high pressure, colorless liquid). Before grinding, pre-cool the grinding tube and adapter in -80℃. Prepare a 2mL centrifuge tube, add 2 6mm beads, cut the sample into small pieces of about 1-2mm, add them to the tube, cover the tube tightly and freeze it in liquid nitrogen for 60s, then add 1mL TRIzol reagent. Put the grinding tube into the adapter, place it symmetrically to keep the load flat, and finally install the test tube clamp and tighten the fixing nut. Start grinding, and take out the grinding tube containing the sample after it is finished.
[0099] II. Separation stage
[0100] The homogenized sample was placed at room temperature for 5 minutes to completely separate the nucleic acid-protein complex. 0.2 mL of chloroform was added to each 1 mL of TRIzol, and the mixture was shaken and mixed for 30 seconds. After standing at room temperature for 10 minutes, the mixture was centrifuged at 12000 g / min at low temperature (4°C) for 15 minutes. The sample was divided into three layers: the bottom layer was an organic phase, the upper layer was a colorless layer, and an intermediate layer was used. RNA was mainly in the upper aqueous phase, and the volume of the aqueous phase was about 50% of the TRIzol reagent used.
[0101] III. RNA precipitation
[0102] Pipette the upper aqueous phase into a new centrifuge tube, add 0.5 mL of isopropanol to every 1 mL of TRIzol, mix gently, let stand at room temperature for 10 min, and centrifuge at 12000 g / min at low temperature (4°C) for 10 min. After centrifugation, the RNA precipitate is collected on the side of the bottom of the centrifuge tube. The RNA precipitate is white and slightly transparent and is not easy to observe. The RNA precipitate is usually not visible before centrifugation, forming a gelatinous flaky precipitate attached to the wall and bottom of the test tube.
[0103] IV. Elution of RNA
[0104] Add at least 1 mL of pre-cooled 75 Vol.% ethanol to every 1 mL of TRIzol. Mix well and centrifuge at 7500g / min for 5 minutes at low temperature (4°C). After centrifugation, discard the waste liquid, open the cap of the centrifuge tube, turn it upside down on the filter paper, and leave it to dry at room temperature or vacuum dry the RNA precipitate for about 8 minutes to dry the RNA precipitate.
[0105] V. Redissolution of RNA
[0106] When the RNA precipitate becomes translucent, add 50 μL DEPC-H2O to the centrifuge tube to dissolve the RNA precipitate.
[0107] VI. RNA concentration determination
[0108] Use a spectrophotometer to test the RNA solution and keep a record of the sample name, concentration, and purity.

[0127] Expression of psoriasis-related inflammatory factor mRNA Figure 5 As shown. Cytokines play important physiological and pathological roles in many diseases. Therefore, in order to further explore whether PG-OMVs can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory and IL-23 / IL-17 axis-related cytokines, this application uses real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR analysis to detect the expression of psoriasis-related cytokines in skin lesions. The results of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR are shown in the figure. Compared with the Control group, the expression levels of related inflammatory factors in the psoriasis model mice (IMQ group) increased, indicating that our model was successfully established. There was no significant difference between the IMQ group and the IMQ-G group, indicating that the hydrogel has no therapeutic effect on psoriasis. Comparing the IMQ group with the IMQ-G group, and the IMQ-G group with the IMQ-GO group, the results showed that treatment with PG-OMVs significantly reduced the levels of proinflammatory cytokine mRNA that cause psoriasis in mice, including IL-1β and IL-23 / IL-17 axis-related cytokines (IL-23α, IL-22, IL-17A, IL17F), but the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α was not reduced, indicating that PG-OMVs treat psoriasis not by regulating TNF-α.
[0128] In addition, the Parabacteroides exosomes of Examples 4-6 were further subjected to mouse experiments, and 6-8 week old BALB / c mice were divided into four groups, namely IMQ-GO-4, IMQ-GO-5 and IMQ-GO-6, with 6 mice in each group. The hair of each mouse was removed, and 62.5 mg of imiquimod (abbreviated as IMQ) cream was applied with a scraper every day in the IMQ-GO-4, IMQ-GO-5 and IMQ-GO-6 groups for 7 consecutive days to form a psoriasis-like model in the mice. On the 5th day, the mixture of the exosomes of Example 4 and PF-127 hydrogel was orally administered to the mice in the IMQ-GO-4 group, the mixture of the exosomes of Example 5 and PF-127 hydrogel was orally administered to the mice in the IMQ-GO-5 group, and the mixture of the exosomes of Example 6 and PF-127 hydrogel was orally administered to the mice in the IMQ-GO-6 group. The exosome concentration of each group was 7.9×10 12 The mice were killed on the eighth day. The H&E staining experiment was carried out by the above method to obtain the surface thickness of the mouse skin of Example 4, Example 5 and Example 6, respectively. The specific results are shown in Table 7.

[0131] From the data results in Table 7, it can be seen that the exosomes of Parabacteroides distichous of Example 4, the exosomes of Parabacteroides johnsonii of Example 5, and the exosomes of Parabacteroides gordonii of Example 6 have a certain therapeutic effect on psoriasis, but compared with Parabacteroides gordonii, the effect is average.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications to the present embodiment without any creative contribution as needed. However, as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present application, it shall be protected by the patent law.
