Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of microbial technology, and in particular to a strain of Lactobacillus fermentum, its compound preparations, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a chronic clinical syndrome caused by purine metabolism disorders or abnormal uric acid excretion, resulting in a significantly higher than normal serum uric acid level. Generally, it is defined as a fasting serum uric acid level exceeding 420 μmol / L for men and 360 μmol / L for women on two separate occasions under normal purine dietary conditions. Gout is a crystalline arthritis caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals and is directly related to hyperuricemia due to purine metabolism disorders. In recent years, hyperuricemia in my country has shown a significant upward trend and a younger age of onset. Hyperuricemia is not only an early stage of gout but also an independent risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and chronic kidney disease. Gout has become the "fourth high" after diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, posing a serious threat to people's health.
[0003] Clinically, hyperuricemia is generally prevented and treated in three ways. The first is to reduce uric acid production using xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitors, such as allopurinol and febuxostat. The second is to increase uric acid excretion using URAT1 inhibitors, such as benzbromarone and ricinole. The third is to degrade uric acid using uricase drugs, such as raburicase and precancerous urate. However, xanthine oxidase inhibitors and URAT1 inhibitors are chemical drugs that can damage liver and kidney function and have strong toxic side effects. While uricase drugs are more effective, they have strong immunogenicity and are generally used as second-line drugs.
[0004] Under normal circumstances, the human body contains approximately 1200 mg of uric acid. About 600 mg is newly generated daily, while 600 mg is excreted, maintaining a balance. About 70% of the uric acid excreted is through the kidneys, with the remainder excreted in feces or further metabolized by intestinal flora. A small portion is excreted in the intestines or broken down by intestinal flora. In recent years, improving traditional metabolic diseases such as hyperuricemia based on gut microbiota has become a new research direction. Multiple studies have shown that regulating gut microbiota through probiotics and prebiotics plays an important role in regulating serum uric acid and its distribution in the body, and is helpful in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout.
[0005] This demonstrates that current medications for hyperuricemia have numerous problems, exhibiting significant side effects and being unsuitable for long-term use. While a growing number of probiotics have been shown to be effective in preventing or alleviating hyperuricemia, their efficacy in the actual adjunctive treatment of hyperuricemia and related diseases urgently needs improvement.

[0099] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, % means wt%, i.e., weight percentage.
[0100] Example 1: Preliminary screening of Lactobacillus fermentation strains
[0101] Commercially available bacterial slurry solutions were diluted 10, 100, and 1000 times, respectively, and spread onto MRS solid medium containing 1% CaCO3, with three replicates per group. The samples were incubated at 37°C. After three days of incubation, 25 colonies of varying morphology were picked from single colonies with a clear clear zone on the plates and inoculated onto MRS broth medium. The colonies were incubated at 37°C and 220 rpm for 24 hours. They were then transferred to fresh MRS broth medium and incubated for 16 hours. Once the bacterial culture became turbid, the nucleoside degradation capacity was tested.
[0102] Example 2: Determination of Nucleoside Degradation Capacity
[0103] In this embodiment, the nucleoside degradation ability of the strain obtained in Example 1 was determined. Simultaneously, *Lactobacillus fermentum* BNCC138617, purchased from Beina Chuanglian Biotechnology Co., Ltd., was used as a control strain for testing.
[0104] The method for detecting nucleoside degradation capacity includes: using MRS broth medium to measure the OD of the fermentation broth from Example 1 or Lactobacillus plantarum BNCC336943. 600 Adjust the pH to 4.0. Centrifuge 1 mL of fermentation broth at 4℃ and 8000 rpm for 2 min, discard the supernatant, and collect the bacterial cells. Add 750 μL of physiological saline to the bacterial cells and wash them twice, collecting the washed bacterial cells. Add 750 μL of nucleoside degradation solution to the collected bacterial cells, using equal volumes of physiological saline and MRS broth as blank controls. Set up a heat inactivation control by inactivating the bacterial cells at 100℃ for 10 min. Incubate the prepared nucleoside degradation system at 37℃ and 120 rpm for 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min, respectively. After the reaction, inactivate the system at 100℃ for 10 min and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min. Filter the supernatant through a 0.22 μm filter into a liquid chromatography vial for analysis.
[0105] Nucleoside content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a mobile phase of 25 mM KH₂PO₄ containing 5% methanol. An ODS-3 (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) column was used. Detection conditions: PDA detector, detection wavelength 254 nm, column temperature 35 °C, flow rate 1 mL / min, injection volume 20 μL, retention time 20 min.
[0106] The formula for calculating the nucleoside degradation rate is: (Initial nucleoside concentration - Remaining nucleoside concentration after reaction) / Initial nucleoside concentration × 100%
[0107] Finally, a lactic acid bacterium, HXJS4-1, with high nucleoside degradation ability was obtained through screening. Its nucleoside degradation ability is shown in Table 1.
[0108] Table 1. Degradation capacity of HXJS4-1 nucleoside
[0109]
[0110] As shown in Table 1, compared with the control strain BNCC138617, strain HXJS4-1 can rapidly degrade nucleosides, achieving almost complete nucleoside degradation within 1 hour.
[0111] Example 3: Identification of the strain
[0112] (1) Colony morphology characteristics
[0113] The strain HXJS4-1 obtained in Example 2 is a Gram-positive bacterium that grows well in MRS medium. The optimal growth temperature is 37°C, and the optimal pH is 6.5. It does not form spores, lacks flagella, and enters the stationary phase after 16 hours of shake-in culture. On MRS solid medium (plates), the bacterial plaques are milky white, round, with neat edges, opaque, and smooth. Morphology as shown... Figure 1 As shown.
[0114] (2) Molecular biological identification
[0115] In this embodiment, 16S rDNA sequencing was performed on strain HXJS4-1: A small amount of colony was picked from an MRS solid plate and added to 20 μL of prepared PCR reaction solution (the composition of which is shown in Table 2). PCR amplification was performed according to the pre-set program (as shown in Table 3). Afterwards, 4 μL of the solution was run for DNA gel electrophoresis for verification, and a band was found at approximately 1400 bp. The primer sequences involved in the amplification were: 27F: 5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3'; 1492R: 5'-TACGG YTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3'.
[0116] The remaining PCR reaction solution was sent for sequencing, which was performed by Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The obtained 16S rDNA sequence (as shown in SEQ ID No. 1) was BLAST-aligned on NCBI and compared for homology with known strains to identify the classification of strain HXJS4-1. The strain was ultimately identified as *Lactobacillus fermentum*. This *Lactobacillus fermentum* HXJS4-1 was deposited on January 19, 2024, at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC), located at No. 3, Courtyard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, with accession number CGMCC NO: 29677.

[0123] Considering that human food may contain not only nucleosides but also many carbohydrates and proteins, this example further tested the degradation rate of nucleosides by *Lactobacillus fermentum* HXJS4-1 in the presence of different carbohydrate substrates. The specific substrates and detection methods are as follows:
[0124] Substrate 1: 1.26 mM inosine - 1.26 mM guanosine - 2 g / L sucrose - 2 g / L yeast extract;
[0125] Substrate 2: 1.26 mM inosine-1.26 mM guanosine-2 g / L glucose-2 g / L yeast extract;
[0126] Substrate 3: 1.26 mM inosine-1.26 mM guanosine.
[0127] Take OD 600 The Lactobacillus fermentum HXJS4-1 bacterial suspension with a pH of 4.0 was washed with physiological saline and then incubated with equal volumes of substrate solutions 1, 2, and 3 for 2 hours. Physiological saline and nucleoside degradation solution were used as blank controls. The determination method was the same as in Example 2. The nucleoside degradation ability of Lactobacillus fermentum HXJS4-1 under different conditions is shown in Table 4 below.
[0128] Table 4. Nucleoside degradation capacity of strains in the presence of carbon and nitrogen sources.
[0129]
[0130] The experimental results in Table 4 demonstrate that the presence of carbon and nitrogen sources does not affect the degradation of nucleosides by this strain.
[0131] Example 5: XOD Inhibition Ability Determination
[0132] Xanthine oxidase catalyzes the conversion of xanthine to uric acid, and the product uric acid has a characteristic absorption peak at 293 nm. The change in absorbance of the reaction system over a certain period of time, measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader, characterizes the amount of uric acid produced and can thus measure the change in xanthine oxidase activity.
[0133] In this embodiment, the xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibition ability of Lactobacillus fermentum HXJS4-1 was determined. Lactobacillus fermentum BNCC138617 (purchased from the manufacturer) was used as a control. The specific determination method is as follows:
[0134] Take 0.75 mL of xanthine substrate solution and an equal volume of fermentation broth (OD200). 600Mix the Lactobacillus fermentum HXJS4-1 or Lactobacillus fermentum BNCC138617 bacterial suspensions with a value of 4.0, and finally add 0.5 mL of xanthine oxidase solution (0.5 U / mL) that has been incubated at 25 °C for 20 min. After reacting the reaction system at 25 °C for 30 min, measure the absorbance at a wavelength of 293 nm. Each group has three replicates.
[0135] The specific reaction groups and reaction systems are as follows:
[0136] Control sample ①: 0.75 mL xanthine + 0.5 mL xanthine oxidase + 0.75 mL PBS;
[0137] Control sample ②: 0.75 mL xanthine + 0.5 mL PBS + 0.75 mL fermentation broth;
[0138] Experimental sample ③: 0.75 mL xanthine + 0.5 mL xanthine oxidase + 0.75 mL fermentation broth;
[0139] Control sample ④: 0.75 mL xanthine + 1.25 mL PBS.
[0140] The XOD inhibition rate was calculated by detecting xanthine oxidase activity as follows, and the results are shown in Table 5 below.
[0141] XOD inhibition rate calculation formula: ((Absorbance value of control sample ① - Absorbance value of control sample ④) - (Absorbance value of test sample ③ - Absorbance value of control sample ②)) / (Control sample ① - Control sample ④) × 100%
[0142] Table 5 XOD Inhibition Rate
[0143] HXJS4-1 71.5% BNCC138617 11.3%
[0144] As shown in Table 5, the *Lactobacillus fermentum* HXJS4-1 obtained in this application achieved an inhibition rate of 71.5% against xanthine oxidase, while the inhibition rate of xanthine oxidase in the control strain was only 11.3%.
[0145] Example 6: Screening of Lactobacillus paracasei HXXJ-008
[0146] Undamaged cow dung was collected by sample collectors from the Narat Grassland in Xinjiang. Wearing disposable sterile gloves, the sampling shovel and spoon were disinfected with 75% alcohol. 5-10g of the core portion was extracted from the cow dung, placed in a sterile sampling bag, sealed, and stored. Sample information was recorded, and the sample was kept in a cold storage box (with ice packs inside). It was then mailed to a Beijing laboratory via low-temperature cold chain express on the same day for experimental purposes. Weigh 1g of cow dung sample and place it in a sterile homogenizing cup. Add 10mL of sterile physiological saline and mix using a vortex mixer for 1-2 minutes to prepare a suspension. Filter the suspension through 4 layers of sterile gauze. Dilute the filtered suspension 10 times, 100 times, and 1000 times respectively and spread it onto MRS solid medium containing 1% CaCO3. After three days of incubation, pick 25 colonies with different morphologies from single colonies with obvious clear zones on the plates. Sequencing the 16S rDNA revealed a strain of Lactobacillus paracasei, named HXXJ-008.
[0147] Example 7: Identification of Lactobacillus paracasei HXXJ-008
[0148] (1) Colony morphology characteristics
[0149] The strain HXXJ-008 obtained in Example 6 is a Gram-positive bacterium that grows well in MRS medium. The optimal growth temperature is 37°C, and the optimal growth pH is 6.5. It does not form spores, lacks flagella, and enters the stationary phase after 16 hours of shake-in culture. On MRS solid plates, the bacterial plaques are milky white, round, with neat edges, opaque, and smooth. Figure 2 As shown.
[0150] (2) Molecular biological identification
[0151] 16S rDNA sequencing: A small amount of colony was picked from an MRS solid plate and added to 20 μL of prepared PCR reaction solution (see Table 6 for the composition). PCR amplification was performed according to the pre-set program (as shown in Table 7). Afterwards, 4 μL of the amplified DNA was run on a DNA gel electrophoresis plate for verification. A band was observed at approximately 1400 bp. Primer sequences involved in the amplification were: 27F: 5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3'; 1492R: 5'-TACGGYTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3'.
[0152] The remaining PCR reaction solution was sent for sequencing, which was performed by Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The obtained 16S rDNA sequence (as shown in SEQ ID No. 2) was BLAST-aligned on NCBI and compared for homology with known strains to identify the strain. The strain was ultimately identified as *Lactobacillus paracasei*. This *Lactobacillus fermentum* HXXJ-008 was deposited on April 30, 2024, at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC), located at No. 3, Courtyard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with accession number CGMCC NO: 30483.

[0185] 1. Modeling and feeding of mice with hyperuricemia
[0186] Eighteen male mice, 4 weeks old and weighing 16-20g, were purchased and allowed to acclimatize for one week before the experiment. They were housed under standard laboratory conditions at 22℃±1℃ and 60% relative humidity, with a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle (7:00-19:00 light). The mice were fed standard commercial mouse food, with a probiotic (Lactobacillus paracasei HXXJ-008) dosage of 1×10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / each. Divided into the following groups on average:
[0187] (1) Control group: fed basic feed and gavaged with 0.5 mL of sterile skim milk daily.
[0188] (2) Model group: fed a basal diet, and gavage with 300 mg / kg / d potassium oxonate (OP) and 10 g / kg / d yeast extract in sterile skim milk.

[0190] 2. Detection of inflammatory factor markers
[0191] On day 21 of feeding, liver and kidney samples were collected from mice. The samples were rinsed with physiological saline, diluted with 1 mL of PBS in pre-weighed test tubes, and stored at -20°C for use. Fresh liver and kidney samples were ground on ice using a hand grinder and then centrifuged at low speed (8000 rpm, 10 min) to obtain sample suspensions. The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6 in the liver and kidneys were measured according to the instructions provided by Beijing Bioscience.
[0192] Test results are shown Figure 3-4 It can be seen that the Lactobacillus paracasei HXXJ-008 treatment group has a good inhibitory effect on the inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6 in the liver and kidney of hyperuricemic mice. Figure 3 It was found that *Lactobacillus paracasei* HXXJ-008 inhibited the inflammatory factor IL-1β in the liver and kidney of hyperuricemic mice by 42.82% and 64.09%, respectively. Figure 4 It can be seen that Lactobacillus paracasei HXXJ-008 inhibited the inflammatory factor IL-6 in the liver and kidney of hyperuricemic mice by 44.67% and 58.99%, respectively, and had a good inhibitory effect on inflammatory factors.
[0193] Example 9: Mouse Experiment with Compound Strains
[0194] 1. Modeling and feeding of mice with hyperuricemia
[0195] Sixty male mice, 4 weeks old and weighing 16-20g, were purchased and allowed to acclimatize for one week before the experiment. They were housed under standard laboratory conditions at 22℃±1℃ and 60% relative humidity, with a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle (7:00-19:00 light). The mice were fed standard commercial mouse food and divided into the following groups:

[0199] (4) HUA+ treatment group 2: fed a basal diet containing 300 mg / kg / d potassium oxonate (OP) and 10 g / kg yeast extract powder, and also containing 1×10 live probiotics HXJS4-1. 9 An equal volume and concentration of CFU of sterile skim milk was administered via gavage.
[0200] (5) HUA+ treatment group 3: fed a basal diet containing 300 mg / kg / d potassium oxonate (OP) and 10 g / kg yeast extract powder, and also containing probiotic HXXJ-008 with a live count of 1×10⁻⁶. 9 An equal volume and concentration of CFU of sterile skim milk was administered via gavage.
[0201] (6) HUA+ treatment group 4: fed a basal diet containing 300 mg / kg / d potassium oxonate (OP) and 10 g / kg yeast extract, along with equal amounts of probiotics HXJS3-1, HXJS4-1, and HXXJ-008, with a total live bacteria count of 1×10⁻⁶. 7 An equal volume and concentration of CFU of sterile skim milk was administered via gavage.
[0202] (7) HUA+ treatment group 5: fed a basal diet containing 300 mg / kg / d potassium oxonate (OP) and 10 g / kg yeast extract, along with equal amounts of probiotics HXJS3-1, HXJS4-1, and HXXJ-008, with a total live bacteria count of 1×10⁻⁶. 8 An equal volume and concentration of CFU of sterile skim milk was administered via gavage.
[0203] (8) HUA+ treatment group 6: fed a basal diet containing 300 mg / kg / d potassium oxonate (OP) and 10 g / kg yeast extract, along with equal amounts of probiotics HXJS3-1, HXJS4-1, and HXXJ-008, with a total live bacteria count of 1×10⁻⁶. 9An equal volume and concentration of CFU of sterile skim milk was administered via gavage.

[0206] Feed continuously for 21 days according to the above standards.
[0207] 2. Detection indicators and results
[0208] (1) Uric acid content detection
[0209] A urine
[0210] During the 21-day feeding period, mice from each group were moved to clean, empty cages every three days for 1 hour to collect urine samples. The fresh urine was diluted 10 times with distilled water and placed in a 60°C water bath to ensure no urate crystals were deposited in the urine samples. The uric acid content of all samples was then tested according to the instructions provided with the UA test kit (Nanjing Jiancheng, China). Testing was performed immediately after sample collection.
[0211] The effects of each treatment group on the uric acid content in the urine of hyperuricemic mice are shown in the figure. Figure 7 It is evident that gavage administration of probiotics to mice significantly reduces uric acid levels in the urine of hyperuricemic mice. The HUA+ treatment groups 6 and 7 showed the most significant effects, comparable to the positive control group (allopurinol). The effect of HUA+ treatment group 4 was comparable to that of single-strain administration, while the effect of HUA+ treatment group 5 was significantly better than that of single-strain administration. This indicates that the uric acid-lowering effect is enhanced with increasing gavage count of probiotics when using a combination of three probiotics. A gavage count greater than 1×10⁻⁶ probiotics is considered optimal. 8 CFU / each can significantly reduce uric acid in urine.
[0212] B blood
[0213] Blood samples were collected from each group of mice on days 0, 7, 14, and 21 and allowed to stand for 30 minutes. The collected blood samples were then centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 20 minutes to obtain serum. The uric acid content was then measured according to the instructions provided by the UA test kit (Nanjing Jiancheng, China).
[0214] The effects of each treatment group on serum uric acid levels in hyperuricemic mice are shown in the table below. Figure 6 It was observed that all probiotic treatment groups effectively inhibited the uric acid content in the serum of hyperuricemic mice. The HUA+ treatment groups 6 and 7 showed the highest inhibition rates, with serum uric acid inhibition rates of 56.81% and 59.85%, respectively, comparable to the positive control group. The uric acid-lowering effect was enhanced with increasing gavage count of live bacteria. The combined use of three live bacteria resulted in a gavage count greater than 1×10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / each can significantly reduce uric acid in urine.
[0215] (2) XOD activity index detection
[0216] On day 21 of feeding, liver and blood samples were collected from mice. The liver samples were then rinsed with physiological saline, diluted with 1 mL of PBS in pre-weighed test tubes, and stored at -20°C for use. Fresh liver samples were ground on ice using a hand grinder and then centrifuged at low speed (8000 rpm, 10 min) to obtain a liver sample suspension. XOD was detected in the liver samples (according to the instructions provided with the Nanjing Jiancheng XOD Detection Kit). The collected blood samples were centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 20 min to obtain serum, and XOD activity in the serum was detected according to the instructions provided with the Nanjing Jiancheng XOD Detection Kit.
[0217] The inhibition of XOD activity in the liver and serum of hyperuricemic mice by each treatment group is shown in the figure. Figure 5 It was observed that all probiotic treatment groups had a certain inhibitory effect on XOD activity in the liver and serum of hyperuricemic mice. The HUA+ treatment groups 6 and 7 showed the highest inhibition rates, with HUA+ treatment group 6 achieving inhibition rates of 85.71% and 78.21%, respectively, and HUA+ treatment group 7 achieving inhibition rates of 86.93% and 78.69%, respectively. These results were comparable to the positive control group, effectively inhibiting the production of uric acid from purines. The uric acid-lowering effect was enhanced with increasing gavage count of live bacteria. The combined use of three live bacteria resulted in a gavage count greater than 1×10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / each can significantly and effectively inhibit the production of uric acid from purines.
[0218] (3) Detection of inflammatory factor markers
[0219] On day 21 of feeding, liver and kidney samples were collected from mice. The samples were rinsed with physiological saline, diluted with 1 mL of PBS in pre-weighed test tubes, and stored at -20°C for use. Fresh liver and kidney samples were ground on ice using a hand grinder and then centrifuged at low speed (8000 rpm, 10 min) to obtain sample suspensions. The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-11 in the liver and kidneys were measured according to the instructions provided by Beijing Biosciences.
[0220] Test results are shown Figure 8-11 It was found that each probiotic treatment group had a good inhibitory effect on the inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor TNF-α, and IL-11 in the liver and kidneys of hyperuricemic mice. The uric acid-lowering effect was enhanced with the increase of the number of live bacteria administered by gavage. The number of live bacteria administered by gavage with the combination of three live bacteria was greater than 1×10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / unit can significantly inhibit inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor TNF-α, and IL-11. According to Figure 8 It was found that HUA+ treatment groups 6 and 7 showed the best inhibitory effect on the inflammatory factor IL-1β in the liver and kidneys of hyperuricemic mice. The inhibition rates of HUA+ treatment group 6 were 76.61% and 80.83%, respectively, while those of HUA+ treatment group 7 were 77.5% and 81.95%, respectively, comparable to the positive control group. Figure 9 It was found that HUA+ treatment groups 6 and 7 showed the best inhibitory effect on the inflammatory factor TNF-α in the liver and kidneys of hyperuricemic mice. The inhibition rates of HUA+ treatment group 6 were 76.92% and 77.43%, respectively, while those of HUA+ treatment group 7 were 77.51% and 79.45%, respectively, second only to the positive control group. Figure 10 It was found that HUA+ treatment groups 6 and 7 showed the best inhibitory effect on the inflammatory factor IL-6 in the liver of hyperuricemic mice. The inhibition rates of HUA+ treatment group 6 were 83.1% and 71.35%, respectively, while those of HUA+ treatment group 7 were 84.7% and 71.78%, respectively, second only to the positive control group. Figure 11 It can be seen that HUA+ treatment group 6 and HUA+ treatment group 7 have the best inhibitory effect on the inflammatory factor IL-11 in the liver and kidney of hyperuricemic mice. The inhibition rates of HUA+ treatment group 6 are 76.96% and 81.67%, respectively, and the inhibition rates of HUA+ treatment group 7 are 77.77% and 83.19%, respectively, which are second only to the positive drug group.
[0221] (4) Detection of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10
[0222] The anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 in the liver and kidneys of hyperuricemic mice was detected using a method for detecting inflammatory factor indicators.
[0223] Test results are shown Figure 12 It can be seen that HUA+ treatment groups 1-7 all showed good recovery effects on the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 in the liver and kidneys of hyperuricemic mice. Among them, HUA+ treatment groups 5, 6 and 7 showed more significant recovery effects on the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 in the liver and kidneys of hyperuricemic mice. The inhibition rates of HUA+ treatment group 6 were 66.7% and 71.56%, respectively, and the inhibition rates of HUA+ treatment group 7 were 70.55% and 73.1%, respectively, which were better than the positive drug group.
[0224] In summary, strains HXJS3-1, HXJS4-1, and HXXJ-008 significantly reduced serum uric acid, urinary uric acid, XOD activity in the liver and serum, and the levels of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-11) in the liver and kidneys of hyperuricemic mice, while increasing the level of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10. However, the combined use of these three strains was more effective. When the combined use of these three strains resulted in a gavage count of 1×10⁻⁶ live bacteria, the effect was significantly enhanced. 7 When the CFU / vial count is equal to that of a single bacterium, the effect is comparable. When the number of live bacteria administered via gavage is greater than 1×10⁻⁶. 8 When CFU / unit is used, it can better prevent and treat hyperuricemia, and its efficacy is similar to or comparable to that of the positive control drug allopurinol.
