Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial additive technology, and in particular relates to a synbiotic composition and its application in improving Alzheimer's disease. Background Technology
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment, memory loss, and language difficulties. According to data released by the National Health Commission of China in 2022, there are over 10 million AD patients in my country, making its treatment and prevention a major public health issue. Currently, the main medications for AD treatment include methimazole, donepezil, and galantamine. While these drugs are effective, they also cause side effects and impact patients' quality of life to varying degrees. Therefore, a more gentle treatment strategy is needed.
[0003] Recent studies have revealed significant differences in the gut microbiota of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients compared to healthy individuals, leading to variations in gut metabolites. Indole lactic acid (ILA), a metabolite produced by the breakdown of tryptophan by gut microbiota, has been found to have significantly lower serum ILA levels in AD patients than in healthy individuals. Some interventions may improve AD by increasing ILA levels. Furthermore, research has demonstrated that ILA possesses anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective functions, promoting nerve cell development. Therefore, increasing ILA levels through specific interventions could be a novel strategy for treating AD.
[0004] Some probiotics of the Lactobacillus genus are known to produce ILA (intracellular inflammatory lesions) and play an important role in the prevention and treatment of some inflammatory diseases. However, no studies have yet demonstrated the role of these ILA-producing probiotics in alleviating Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, screening for a high-ILA-producing probiotic, constructing a synbiotic to promote its growth and metabolism, and conducting functional evaluation of the synbiotic combination's effect in alleviating Alzheimer's disease will contribute to the development of novel synbiotic products and provide new solutions for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

[0045] Example 2
[0046] Carbon source screening of Lactobacillus suiliensis AF91-01CMCA
[0047] 1. Materials and Methods
[0048] 1.1 Experimental Materials
[0049] Strain: *Lactobacillus suilingensis* AF91-01CMCA. Main reagents: GAM medium, inulin, ILA standard, chromatographic methanol, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, glacial acetic acid.
[0050] 1.2 Experimental Methods
[0051] Whole-genome sequencing analysis was performed on Lactobacillus suilingensis AF91-01CMCA. The sequencing results were compared and annotated using the CAZy carbohydrate enzyme database to obtain information on carbon source metabolism-related genes of Lactobacillus suilingensis AF91-01CMCA. Substrate and carbohydrate transporter information were further predicted. Based on the substrate and transporter information and their location on the genome, corresponding metabolic pathways were constructed, and then functional genomic analysis of carbohydrate utilization was performed to complete the prediction of specific prebiotics of Lactobacillus suilingensis AF91-01CMCA.
[0052] Next, the predicted results were validated in vitro. Using carbon-free semi-synthetic medium (GAM) as a control, *Lactobacillus suilingensis* AF91-01CMCA was inoculated into mediums containing different prebiotics and cultured for 48 hours. The OD of the medium was measured every 1 hour using a BioScreen growth curve analyzer. 600 The absorbance values were measured at nm, and growth curves were plotted based on these values to determine the effect of prebiotics on the growth of *Lactobacillus suiliengensis* AF91-01CMCA. Different concentrations of prebiotics were added to the culture medium: 10 g / L, 20 g / L, 30 g / L, and 40 g / L.
[0053] Finally, *Lactobacillus suilingensis* AF91-01CMCA was inoculated into GAM medium and GAM+20 g / L inulin medium. After fermentation for 48 h, the samples were centrifuged and prepared. The amount of ILA produced by the strain in ordinary and corresponding prebiotic media was determined using a Shimadzu LC-16 high performance liquid chromatograph.
[0054] The composition of the synbiotic was determined based on the growth curve results and the results of ILA production during fermentation.
[0055] Test results
[0056] 1. Carbon source prediction for Lactobacillus suilingensis AF91-01CMCA
[0057] The comparison results with the CAZy carbohydrate enzyme database are shown in Table 1. The analysis results indicate that *Lactobacillus suilingensis* AF91-01CMCA possesses inulinase, β-mannosidase, β-xylanase, and α-arabinosidase. These enzymes are related to the hydrolysis of inulin, xylooligosaccharides, and mannose, thus suggesting that it has the ability to utilize these carbon sources.
[0058] Table 1. Carbon source metabolic enzymes possessed by Lactobacillus suiliengensis AF91-01CMCA
[0059]
[0060] 2. Growth curve analysis results
[0061] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that among the three carbon source-supplemented culture media, inulin had the best growth-promoting effect on *Lactobacillus suilingensis* AF91-01CMCA, and the growth-promoting effect of inulin was the best at different carbon source supplementation concentrations. Figure 2 It can be seen that the growth of Lactobacillus suilingensis AF91-01CMCA is better with the increase of inulin concentration, but the growth-promoting effect of inulin concentrations of 20 g / L, 30 g / L and 40 g / L is similar.
[0062] 3. ILA production level during fermentation
[0063] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that, compared with GAM medium, the ILA production of Lactobacillus AF91-01CMCA in GAM medium supplemented with 20 g / L inulin was significantly increased, reaching about 25 μg / mL.
[0064] In summary, based on the growth curves and liquid phase results, the synbiotic combination was determined to be Lactobacillus suilingensis AF91-01CMCA and inulin.
[0065] Example 3
[0066] Synbiotics alleviate cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease
[0067] This invention uses animal experiments to evaluate the efficacy of the synbiotic composition of this invention, in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the synbiotic composition.
[0068] 1. Grouping of laboratory animals
[0069] Thirty-five 7-month-old 5×FAD mice (AD model mice) and ten C57 mice (Con normal control mice) were selected and divided into five groups: control group (Con), Alzheimer's disease model group (AD), model supplemented with prebiotics group (AI), model supplemented with probiotics group (AL), and model supplemented with synbiotics group (AS), with 8-10 mice in each group. The mice underwent 4 weeks of intervention with control, probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics.
[0070] 2. Processing methods for each group
[0071] Control group: Normal drinking water, supplemented with 100μL PBS by gavage daily.
[0072] Prebiotic treatment: Dissolve inulin in sterile water to a concentration of 20g / L and supplement with drinking water.
[0073] Probiotic treatment: The cultured Lactobacillus AF91-01CMCA from Suiling was suspended in an appropriate amount of PBS until the viable count reached 1×10⁻⁶. 11CFU / mL, prepare fresh before use. Administer 200 μL of bacterial suspension daily via gavage.
[0074] Synbiotic treatment: Daily gavage supplementation of bacterial suspension and drinking water supplementation of prebiotics.
[0075] 3. Animal behavioral testing methods
[0076] Behavioral analysis was performed on mice after 4 weeks of feeding to evaluate their cognitive abilities.
[0077] 3.1 New Object Recognition Test
[0078] A novel object recognition test was used to evaluate the short-term memory ability of mice. The test included an adaptation day, a training day, and a test day. On the adaptation day, mice were placed in an open cube (length × width × height; 40 cm × 40 cm × 40 cm) and allowed to explore freely for 5 minutes. On the training day, two identical objects were placed in the upper left and lower right corners of the cube, and the mouse was placed in the center and allowed to explore freely for 5 minutes. On the test day, one of the objects from the training day was replaced with a new object (the new object had a different shape and color than the old object), and the mouse was allowed to explore freely for 5 minutes. During this period, the mouse's activity trajectory and the time it spent sniffing the new and old objects were recorded using software. The discrimination index was calculated as: (new object exploration time - old object exploration time) / (new object exploration time + old object exploration time) × 100%.
[0079] 3.2 Barnes Maze Test
[0080] The day before the experiment, animals were individually placed in the target box from the target hole for 4 minutes to acclimatize. The animals were then placed in a 20 cm x 27 cm plastic cylinder in the center of the maze and their movement was restricted for 5 seconds. The cylinder was removed, and the software was activated. An escape attempt was counted when all four limbs of the animal entered the target box, and the animal remained in the box for 30 seconds. Each animal was observed for a maximum of 4 minutes at a time. If the animal still could not find the target box during this period, it was removed from the maze and placed in the target box for 30 seconds. This interval was used to clean the maze. Animals were trained once a day for four consecutive days. From the second training session onwards, the maze was rotated by one or more holes before each training session, but the target box remained fixed in the same direction. This was to prevent the animals from relying on scent and instead using memory to locate the target box. The latency to reach the target box and the number of errors for each animal were recorded. On the fifth day, the target box was removed, and the mice were allowed to explore freely for 120 seconds. The number of times any hole was explored, the time spent near the target box, and the time it took to first find the target box were recorded.
[0081] Test results
[0082] Depend on Figure 4It was found that, compared with WT mice, AD mice exhibited significantly reduced cognitive abilities, manifested as decreased target quadrant exploration time and a lower discrimination index. However, after 4 weeks of synbiotic supplementation, AD mice showed a significant increase in target quadrant exploration time and a significant improvement in the discrimination index during the new object test, with effects superior to probiotic or prebiotic supplementation alone. These results indicate that synbiotics can alleviate cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's mice.
[0083] Example 4
[0084] Synbiotics reduce Aβ accumulation in the brain
[0085] 1. The experimental grouping and treatment are the same as in Example 2.
[0086] 2. Experimental Methods
[0087] Mice were euthanized after a 4-week intervention, and their brain tissue was collected, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, and then subjected to steps such as embedding, sectioning, dewaxing, permeabilization, antigen retrieval, inactivation of endogenous enzyme activity, blocking, primary antibody incubation, secondary antibody incubation, and DAPI mounting before being photographed under a fluorescence microscope to observe the accumulation of Aβ in the brain.
[0088] Test results
[0089] Excessive accumulation of Aβ is one of the pathological features of Alzheimer's disease, caused by... Figure 5 It is known that AD mice have a large amount of Aβ accumulation in the CA1, DG, and Cortex regions of their brains. Four weeks of synbiotic intervention can significantly reduce Aβ deposition in the brain, and the effect is better than probiotic or prebiotic supplementation alone.

[0092] 1. The experimental grouping and treatment are the same as in Example 2.
[0093] 2. Experimental Methods
[0094] Mice were treated for 4 weeks, and their feces were collected. They were then sacrificed, and their serum was collected. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect ILA levels in the feces and serum. The specific methods are as follows:
[0095] Fecal sample preparation: Weigh 0.10 g of mouse feces, add 1 mL of methanol, vortex mix, and incubate in a water bath at 40℃ for 20 min, mixing once every 5 min. After the water bath, place in a -20℃ refrigerator for 20 min, then remove and centrifuge at 13000 r / min for 10 min at 4℃. Filter the supernatant after centrifugation through a 0.22 µm microporous membrane (organic phase), add to a brown vial, and store as the test sample in a 4℃ refrigerator.
[0096] Serum sample preparation: Take 30 μL of serum and dilute it with methanol to 300 μL. Then, place it at -20℃ for 20 min and centrifuge it at 4℃ and 13000 r / min for 10 min. Filter the supernatant through a 0.22 μm organic filter membrane, add it to a brown bottle, and place it in a 4℃ refrigerator for testing.
[0097] Liquid chromatography: A ZORBAX XDB C18 column (4.6×250 μm, 5 μm) was used as the analytical column. Mobile phase A: 15 mmol / L sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution (pH 2.8), mobile phase B: chromatographic methanol, flow rate: 1.0 ml / min, gradient elution program: 0-12 min, A:B=42:58, 12-28 min, A:B=50:50, 28-35 min, A:B=85:15, column temperature: 30℃, detection wavelength fluorescence detector (excitation wavelength / emission wavelength): 282 / 352 nm, injection volume: 10 μL.
[0098] Test results
[0099] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that after 4 weeks of intervention, compared with the AD group, the addition of synbiotic significantly increased the levels of ILA in the feces and serum of mice.
[0100] Data and Statistical Analysis
[0101] All experimental data were analyzed using the Duncan method of one-way ANOVA in SPSS 26.0 software (P < 0.05), and plotted using Graphpad 8.0. All results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and each experiment was performed in triplicate.
