[0052] Example 1: Intestinal Ruminococcus contortus alleviates the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis model in mice

[0053] (1) Cultivation and preparation of intestinal Ruminococcus contortus

[0054] Ruminococcus torques (ATCC 27756) was cultured in an anaerobic environment. The culture medium used was ATCC Medium 1589. The preparation method was as follows: 8 g ATCC Medium 1589 was weighed into 100 mL of distilled water, 2 g agarose was added, 0.05 g L-cysteine ​​hydrochloride, 0.5 mg hemin chloride, 0.1 mg vitamin K1, 1 / 3 of the volume of the container was added with diced beef, mixed well, and sterilized at 121° C. for 15 min. After sterilization, it was placed in an anaerobic box composed of a mixed gas of 80% nitrogen, 10% hydrogen, and 10% carbon dioxide for overnight deoxygenation to obtain a deoxygenated liquid culture medium. Transfer the lyophilized powder of Ruminococcus twisted to the deoxygenated liquid culture medium, fully activate it, and culture it for 48 hours until flocculent precipitates are visible. After blowing and mixing, take 200 μL of the culture to the blood plate, spread it evenly with an L-shaped coating stick, and continue to culture it in an anaerobic environment for 48 hours at a temperature of 37°C. Circular transparent colonies can be seen on the blood plate. Use a sterile cotton swab to scrape the colonies from the blood plate into a sterile tube of anaerobic PBS, and adjust the bacterial solution concentration to 1×10 9 CFU / mL, and obtain Ruminococcus torques bacterial solution.

[0055] (2) Treatment of mouse ulcerative colitis model with intestinal Ruminococcus contortus

[0056] Thirty 8-week-old C57BL / 6J male mice were pre-fed for one week and then divided into three groups: PBS group, DSS+PBS group, and DSS+R.torques group. Mice in the PBS group were treated with 200 μL / d PBS by gavage for 17 days, and the drinking water was changed to sterile water from the 10th day. Mice in the DSS+PBS group were treated with 200 μL / d PBS by gavage for 17 days, and the drinking water was changed to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution from the 10th day. Mice in the DSS+R.torques group were treated with 200 μL / d Ruminococcustorques bacterial solution by gavage for 17 days, and the drinking water was changed to DSS solution from the 10th day. During the experiment, body weight was recorded and DAI scores were performed every day. The DAI scoring method can be found in the literature [Wirtz S, Popp V, Kindermann M, et al. Chemically induced mouse models of acute and chronic intestinal inflammation. Nat Protoc. 2017; 12(7): 1295-1309.]. After the experiment, anatomical sampling was performed to measure the colon length of the mice in their natural state. The results are shown in Figure 1 .

[0057] The results showed that during the induction period, the body weight of the DSS+R.torques group was significantly higher than that of the DSS+PBS group, the DAI score was significantly lower than that of the DSS+PBS group, and the colon length of the DSS+R.torques group was significantly higher than that of the DSS+PBS group, indicating that Ruminococcus torques can alleviate the intestinal symptoms of weight loss, shortened colon length, and bloody diarrhea in mice induced by DSS, providing a new probiotic for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

[0058] Example 2 Preparation and enzyme activity of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme

[0059] (1) Preparation of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes

[0060] 1.601 g of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO 3 ) 2 6H 2 O), 39 mg manganese chloride (MnCl 2 ) and 70 mg ferric triacetylacetonate (Fe(acac) 3 ) was dissolved in 40 mL of methanol to obtain reagent A. 3.7 g of 2-methylimidazole (2-MI) was dissolved in 40 mL of methanol to obtain reagent B. Reagent A was added to reagent B and stirred vigorously at room temperature for 1 hour. The solution gradually changed from red and transparent to orange. The stirred liquid was transferred to a high-pressure reactor and reacted at 120°C for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, centrifuged at 12000 rpm and 4°C for 10 minutes, and the precipitate was collected. The precipitate was centrifuged and washed 3 to 4 times with methanol under the same centrifugal conditions as before. The washed precipitate was dried in a vacuum oven to obtain a slightly brown manganese-iron bimetallic skeleton (FeMnZIF-8). FeMnZIF-8 was calcined in a tubular furnace under the following calcination conditions: the temperature was increased to 300°C at a rate of 5°C / min and maintained for 1 hour, and then the temperature was increased to 900°C at the same rate and maintained for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, a black manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme was obtained. Under a transmission electron microscope, it appeared as a rhombic dodecahedron with a particle size of about 200 nm. Figure 2 .

[0061] (2) As a comparison, the present invention adopts the method described in the literature [Chu D, Zhao M, Rong S, et al. Dual-Atom Nanozyme Eye Drops Attenuate Inflammation and Break the Vicious Cycle in DryEye Disease. Nanomicro Lett. 2024; 16(1): 120. Published 2024 Feb 19.] to etch the product of FeMnZIF-8 calcined in step (1): washing with 12% hydrogen fluoride, 1M hydrochloric acid, water and methanol for 3 times, and vacuum drying at 60°C. The transmission electron microscopy morphology is as follows Figure 3 It can be seen that the performance after etching is worse than before etching, so etching is chosen not to be performed in subsequent applications.

[0062] (3) Catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes

[0063] CAT activity: The manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme prepared in step (1) was added with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) can immediately generate a large number of bubbles ( Figure 4 (A).

[0064] POD activity: 0.01 mL of 10 mg / mL chromogenic substrate TMB, 0.01 mL of 10 M HAc, and 0.43 mL of 0.2 M acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (HAc / NaAc) at pH 5.5 and 0.43 mL of 0.2 M acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer at pH 7.4 were added respectively. 2 O 2 and 0.05mL of 1mg / mL manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme. Ultrapure water was used in the control group instead of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme. The reaction was carried out at room temperature for 5 minutes. POD catalyzes TMB to produce a blue product. The colorimetric analysis with the control group reflects the POD activity of the manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme under different acid-base conditions. It can be seen that under pH 7.4, the manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme did not catalyze TMB to produce a large amount of blue products, indicating that the manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme is acid-dependent and does not produce a large amount of reactive oxygen species in the neutral-weakly alkaline intestinal microenvironment ( Figure 4 (middle B).

[0065] Example 3 Ability of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes to scavenge reactive oxygen species

[0066] (1) Linker modification of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes

[0067] 10 mg of C18-PEG-PBA was dissolved in 5 mL of water, and 10 mg of the manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme prepared in Example 2 was added thereto, and the mixture was ultrasonicated in an ice bath for 20 min. Centrifuged at 12000 rpm and 4 ° C for 10 min, the precipitate was collected, and the precipitate was washed twice by centrifugation with water under the same centrifugation conditions as before. The washed precipitate was ultrasonically dispersed with 5 mL of water to obtain the linker-modified manganese-iron bimetallic nanozyme (MnFe-PBA) at a concentration of 2 mg / mL.

[0068] (2) Remove superoxide anion free radicals (O 2.- )

[0069] Scavenges superoxide anion free radicals (O 2. - ) can be reflected by the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD can catalyze the dismutation of superoxide anion free radicals to generate hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and oxygen, and is an important antioxidant enzyme in organisms. Use the total SOD activity detection kit (WST-8 method) to detect SOD enzyme activity. Dilute the 2 mg / mL MnFe-PBA stock solution with ultrapure water to a final concentration of 100 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, 25 μg / mL, 12.5 μg / mL, 6.25 μg / mL, and 0 μg / mL. Refer to the kit instructions to detect the SOD enzyme activity of different final concentrations of MnFe-PBA. The results are as follows: Figure 5 In Figure A, it can be seen that MnFe-PBA has good SOD enzyme activity.

[0070] (3) Removal of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )

[0071] Removal of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) can be reflected by the activity of catalase (CAT), which can catalyze hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen. Use a catalase detection kit to detect CAT enzyme activity. Dilute the 2 mg / mL MnFe-PBA stock solution with ultrapure water to a final concentration of 250 μg / mL, 200 μg / mL, 150 μg / mL, 100 μg / mL, and 50 μg / mL. Refer to the kit instructions to detect the CAT enzyme activity of MnFe-PBA at different final concentrations. The results are as follows: Figure 5 In B, it can be seen that MnFe-PBA has good CAT enzyme activity.

[0072] Example 4 Binding ability of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes with probiotics at different concentrations

[0073] Ruminococcus spp. was cultured in liquid medium until 1×10 8 CFU / mL, take 2mL into a centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 3000rpm, 4℃ for 5min, collect the precipitate, wash the precipitate twice with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) by centrifugation, centrifugation conditions are the same as before, resuspend the washed precipitate with 1mL PBS to obtain the resuspended bacterial solution (referred as Ruminococcus torques), the concentration is 2×10 8 CFU / mL.

[0074] The MnFe-PBA prepared in Example 3 was diluted to 200 μg / 100 μL, 40 μg / 100 μL, and 4 μg / 100 μL, and 100 μL of each was taken and evenly mixed with 100 μL of bacterial solution, respectively, and reacted for 30 minutes, vortexed for 10 seconds every 10 minutes, and reaction solutions corresponding to different MnFe-PBA concentrations were obtained. The bacterial solution and different reaction solutions were observed under a transmission electron microscope, and the results are shown in FIG. Figure 6 It can be seen that different concentrations of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes can successfully modify intestinal Ruminococcus contortus without destroying the activity and structure of the bacteria.

[0075] Example 5 Effects of different concentrations of manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes on the activity of probiotics

[0076] Ruminococcus torques (Rt) was cultured in an anaerobic environment for 48 hours. Flocculent precipitates were visible in the liquid culture medium. After mixing by blowing, 200 μL of the culture was taken to a blood plate and evenly spread with an L-shaped coating stick. The culture was continued in an anaerobic environment for 48 hours. Round transparent colonies were visible on the blood plate. The colonies were scraped from the blood plate with a sterile cotton swab and placed in a sterile tube of anaerobic PBS. The concentration of the bacterial solution was adjusted to 2×10 9 CFU / mL.

[0077] The MnFe-PBA prepared in Example 3 was diluted to 200 μg / mL, 100 μg / mL, and 50 μg / mL, and 500 μL of each was taken and evenly mixed with 500 μL of bacterial solution, respectively, and reacted for 30 min, during which vortexing was performed for 10 s every 10 min. The Ruminococcus torques modified with manganese-iron bimetallic nanozymes of different concentrations were obtained: Rt@MnFe-PBA 100 (1×10 9 CFU Rt / 100μg MnFe-PBA), Rt@MnFe-PBA 50 (1×10 9 CFU Rt / 50μg MnFe-PBA), Rt@MnFe-PBA 25 (1×10 9CFU Rt / 25μg MnFe-PBA). Take 100μL of each of the modified bacterial solutions and resuspend them in new liquid culture medium. After culturing in an anaerobic environment for 24h, count the cells to observe whether MnFe-PBA has an effect on the activity of the bacteria. Use the new liquid culture medium as a blank control, and take 100μL of 1×10 9 CFU / mL of Ruminococcus torques bacteria were resuspended in new liquid culture medium as a positive control. Figure 7 It can be seen that different concentrations of MnFe-PBA do not affect the activity of bacteria after combining with bacteria.
