Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine, and particularly to a silver nanoparticle probiotic preparation, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Silver nanoparticles refer to silver particles with a size in the range of 1 - 100 nm in at least one dimension. As a highly potential nanomaterial, silver nanoparticles exhibit diverse biological activities due to their unique physical and chemical characteristics. Silver nanoparticles can not only release Ag + , bind to thiol groups on the cell membrane, disrupt the integrity of the cell membrane, interfere with cell functions, but also induce the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species, trigger oxidative stress, resulting in lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, silver nanoparticles can also interact with DNA, proteins and enzymes, inhibit gene expression, protein synthesis and enzyme activity, and thus affect the regulation of cell signaling pathways. Therefore, silver nanoparticles have been widely used in the biomedical field and shown important value in aspects such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antiviral, anti-diabetic, drug delivery, promoting wound repair and bone healing, enhancing vaccine immunogenicity, preventing cardiovascular diseases, developing biosensors and as additives for dental materials. However, their potential toxicity problems have also attracted the general attention of researchers. For example, the transformation of silver nanoparticles in the body after oral exposure can cause damage such as abnormal microvilli and intestinal glands of intestinal epithelial cells. Silver nanoparticles in the intestinal lumen can be absorbed into the systemic circulation through the gastrointestinal tract, accumulate in organ tissues across various biological barriers, and thus induce potential organ tissue toxicity, bringing unpredictable health effects. Therefore, how to reduce the potential toxicity of silver nanoparticles and prolong the intestinal retention of silver nanoparticles is a key technical problem to be solved urgently.

[0003] In recent years, probiotics have attracted much attention due to their unique advantages and have been widely explored as an efficient platform for oral delivery of nano-drugs. Bacillus subtilis is one of the most representative probiotic drug delivery carriers. First of all, Bacillus subtilis has been approved by the FDA as a safe food supplement and additive, and has various applications in the biomedical field, especially in the treatment of intestinal diseases, playing important roles such as reshaping the intestinal flora, balancing the immune system and repairing the intestinal barrier. More importantly, Bacillus subtilis can form spores under specific conditions, and its surface peptidoglycan and proteins are rich in various functional groups such as amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl and mercapto groups, which provides the possibility for loading molecules such as drugs. Some researchers have utilized Bacillus subtilis to achieve targeted delivery of various drugs such as monoclonal antibodies and hydrophobic chemical molecules in the intestine. Based on this, constructing a novel silver nanoparticle oral preparation by loading silver nanoparticles with Bacillus subtilis is expected to become a good drug delivery system for prolonging the retention of silver nanoparticles in the intestine, reducing their toxicity and enhancing their activity, but there has been no public report so far.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, additional modifications can be easily achieved. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to specific details.

[0027] The present invention uses Bacillus subtilis with probiotic benefits to prepare a novel micro-nano probiotic silver nanoparticle preparation based on the combination of Bacillus subtilis and silver nanoparticles. This drug has the following characteristics: 1) The proliferation ability of Bacillus subtilis loaded with silver nanoparticles is not affected; 2) The prepared micro-nano drug delivery system can prolong the retention of silver nanoparticles in the intestine and reduce the toxic and side effects of silver nanoparticles; 3) The prepared micro-nano drug delivery system has good anti-inflammatory activity and can enhance the effect of drug treatment for colitis.

[0028] The present invention relates to the construction of a novel silver nanoparticle preparation. First, taking advantage of the property that Bacillus subtilis can produce spores under the condition of high cell density or in the presence of manganese ions, Bacillus subtilis is inoculated in different culture media and cultured under different culture conditions to obtain a spore suspension. Then, taking advantage of the property that the active groups on the spore surface can physically adsorb silver nanoparticles, the spores and silver nanoparticles are mixed and stirred, or the spore suspension is added during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles to prepare silver nano-probiotics. In this process, Bacillus subtilis provides reaction sites for the attachment of silver nanoparticles on its surface, forming silver nanoparticles with uniform size. Silver nanoparticles and the antibacterial substances secreted by Bacillus subtilis play synergistic roles in anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, etc.

[0029] The silver nanoparticles used in the present invention are metal nanoparticles with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities prepared by chemical reduction method or biological reduction method from silver nitrate. As an important metal, silver has been widely used for treating infections, preventing bacterial growth, accelerating wound healing, etc. since ancient times, and it is a good anti-inflammatory and antibacterial material. Silver nanoparticles can slowly release Ag + ⁺, generate reactive oxygen species, and have excellent biological activity. The prepared micro-nano drug delivery system produces a synergistic effect without affecting the proliferation of probiotics, prolongs the intestinal retention of silver nanoparticles, reduces the toxicity of silver nanoparticles, and enhances the effect of silver nanoparticles in treating colitis. The relevant experimental data are as follows: Experiment 1: Particle size and zeta potential of silver nano-probiotics The silver nanoparticles and silver nano-probiotics were diluted to appropriate concentrations with ultrapure water. 1 mL of each sample was taken and placed in a cuvette, and the average particle size and Zeta potential of the samples were measured at 25 °C using a nanoparticle size and zeta potential analyzer. The experimental results showed that the average particle size of the silver nanoparticles was (94.69 ± 2.24) nm, and the potential was (-20.47 ± 0.38) mV. The particle size and potential of the silver nano-probiotics were (1457.39 ± 39.97) nm and (-29.67 ± 0.25) mV, respectively.

[0030] Experiment 2: Changes in cell proliferation before and after probiotics loaded with silver nanoparticles The dilution plating method was used to investigate the changes in cell proliferation of Bacillus subtilis after loading with silver nanoparticles. The experiment was divided into three groups: the Bacillus subtilis group; the mixed group of silver nanoparticles and Bacillus subtilis; the silver nano-probiotic group. The initial number of bacteria in each group was kept the same. After gradient dilution with sterile water, they were spread on LB solid medium and incubated in an incubator at 37 °C for 12 h, and the colony growth was observed. The experimental results showed that there were no significant differences in colony morphology or CFU count between the silver nano-probiotic group and the Bacillus subtilis group and the mixed group of silver nanoparticles and Bacillus subtilis, indicating that loading with silver nanoparticles had no significant effect on the germination and proliferation of Bacillus subtilis.

[0031] Experiment 3: Determination of fecal elimination after single-dose administration to explore the intestinal retention of silver nanoparticles After single-dose administration, mouse feces were collected at different time points, and the silver content in the feces was detected by ICP-MS to investigate the intestinal retention of silver nanoparticles. Normal (healthy) BABL / c mice were randomly divided into two groups, with 6 mice in each group and three replicates, and the average value was taken: 1) the silver nanoparticle group; 2) the silver nano-probiotic group. They were orally administered once by gavage. The dosage of silver nanoparticles was 5 mg / kg. The bedding of each group of mice was changed at 0 h, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 6 h, 9 h, 12 h, 18 h, and 24 h of the experiment, and all fecal samples in the bedding at different time points were collected. The silver content in the fecal samples of each group was detected by ICP-MS. The results showed that among the detected time points, the fecal silver concentration peak of the silver nanoparticle group reached at 3 h. Compared with the silver nanoparticle group, the fecal silver concentration peak of the silver nano-probiotic group reached at 6 h, indicating that the anchoring of Bacillus subtilis prolonged the intestinal retention time of silver nanoparticles.

[0032] Experiment 4: Effects of silver nano-probiotics on the liver function of healthy mice The liver is the main storage site of silver nanoparticles in the body, and liver function indicators are also important indicators reflecting the toxicity of silver nanoparticles. Twenty-four healthy BABL / c mice were randomly divided into three groups (8 mice in each group), namely: 1) normal saline control group, 2) silver nanoparticle group, and 3) silver nanoprobeiotic group. The dosage of silver nanoparticles was 2 mg / kg, and the dosage of Bacillus subtilis was 5×10 10 CFU / kg. They were administered orally every day, and blood was collected from the orbital cavity after 21 days. Part of the collected blood samples was stored in centrifuge tubes without anticoagulant to detect the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the serum. The experimental results showed that compared with the normal saline control group, the levels of serum ALT and AST in the silver nanoparticle group were significantly increased (2.22 times and 2.30 times that of the normal saline control group, respectively); compared with the silver nanoparticle group, the levels of serum ALT and AST in the silver nanoprobeiotic group were significantly decreased (0.58 times and 0.52 times that of the silver nanoparticle group, respectively), indicating that the compounding of Bacillus subtilis could effectively reduce the liver injury caused by the transport of free silver nanoparticles and alleviate the liver toxicity side effects.

[0033] Experiment 5: Therapeutic activity of silver nanoprobeiotics on murine colitis A chronic colitis model was established in male BALB / c mice and randomly divided into 4 groups, with 10 mice in each group: 1) normal saline control group, 2) colitis model group, 3) silver nanoparticle group, and 4) silver nanoprobeiotic group. The most widely used dextran sulfate sodium induction method was used to construct a murine chronic colitis model. During the model establishment, drug treatment was carried out simultaneously. The normal saline control group and the colitis model group were given an equal volume of normal saline, and the other groups were intragastrically administered silver nanoparticles and silver nanoprobeiotics, respectively. The dosage of silver nanoparticles was 2 mg / kg, and the dosage of Bacillus subtilis was 5×10 10 CFU / kg. They were administered once a day for 28 consecutive days. The body weights of the mice in each group were regularly recorded every two days, and the disease activity index (DAI) of the mice was calculated. After the last administration, all mice were fasted but not water-deprived for 12 h, and then sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The whole colon tissue was dissected from the abdominal cavity of the mice, rinsed with normal saline and blotted dry with filter paper, and then the intestinal segment was straightened to measure the colorectal length. The experimental results showed that compared with the normal saline control group, the body weight of the mice in the colitis model group decreased significantly periodically, the DAI score increased significantly periodically, and the final colon length was significantly shortened. Compared with the colitis model group, treatment with silver nanoprobeiotics could significantly restore the weight loss of colitis mice, reduce the DAI score of colitis mice, and relieve the colon shortening of colitis mice, showing an obvious therapeutic effect on colitis.

[0034] Experiment 6: Effects of silver nanoprobeiotics on murine intestinal flora A mouse model of chronic colitis was constructed by dextran sulfate sodium induction method. Silver nanometer probiotics were fed orally, and mouse fecal DNA was extracted for metagenomic detection. The experimental results showed that silver nanometer probiotics could regulate the changes of intestinal flora, inhibit the proliferation of harmful bacteria and promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria at the same time. For example, the treatment with nanometer probiotics would increase Lactobacillus, Paramuribaculum, and Alistipes the relative abundance of Prevotella and decrease the relative abundance of Lactobacillus It can regulate the intestinal flora and maintain the homeostasis of intestinal barrier through extracellular vesicles, thereby improving acute colitis. Intestinal symbiont Alistipes can reduce intestinal epithelial damage and cytokine secretion, and improve experimental colitis in mice. Prevotella The severity of DSS-induced colitis can be aggravated by reducing the expression of ATF4 and disturbing the intestinal microbiota. The results of KEGG pathway analysis showed that silver nanometer probiotics could reverse extracellular biosynthesis and DNA replication induced by colitis, which was beneficial to restore the normal physiological functions of the intestinal flora.

[0035] In summary, the preparation method of the present invention is simple, with rich raw materials and easy to produce and prepare. The prepared silver nanometer probiotic delivery system does not affect the proliferation of probiotics, can prolong the retention of silver nanoparticles in the intestine, reduce the potential toxicity of silver nanoparticles, and has good anti-inflammatory effects. The co-administration enhances the anti-inflammatory effect of silver nanoparticles, has good biocompatibility and safety, a wide range of applications, and can be effectively used for the preparation of drugs for treating colitis, bacterial infections, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. and the preparation of oral preparations for treating diseases, opening up new ways for the treatment of colitis, bacterial infections, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome drugs and their oral preparations, and having practical clinical significance and popularization and application value.
