Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine and relates to new uses of known bacterial species, and specifically relates to the use of Alistipes putredinis in preparing a drug for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Background Art

[0002] Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinical and pathological syndrome characterized by excessive fat deposition in hepatocytes after the exclusion of alcohol and other clear liver-damaging factors. It is an acquired metabolic stress-induced liver injury closely related to insulin resistance and genetic susceptibility. It includes simple fatty liver (SFL), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and its related cirrhosis.

[0003] In addition to directly leading to decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and recurrence of transplanted livers, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can also influence the progression of other chronic liver diseases and contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. Metabolic syndrome-related malignancies, arteriosclerotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and cirrhosis are important factors affecting the quality of life and life expectancy of patients with NAFLD. Therefore, NAFLD presents a new challenge in contemporary medicine, and its harm to human health will continue to increase.

[0004] The treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease mainly focuses on improving lifestyle and drug therapy. Improving lifestyle includes controlling diet, reducing the intake of high-calorie, high-fat, and high-sugar foods, increasing dietary fiber intake, and moderately increasing exercise. Strict dietary control and regular exercise plans may impose certain restrictions on patients' daily lives, affecting the convenience and comfort of life, such as limited choices when dining out. Drug treatment has certain side effects, and different drugs have different side effects. For example, some drugs may affect gastrointestinal function, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

[0005] In order to develop drugs for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide use of the Alistipes putredinis strain or its culture solution in preparing a medicament for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

[0007] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] Application of the Alistipes putredinis strain or its culture solution in preparing a medicine for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

[0009] Preferably, the Alistipes putredinis is Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800.

[0010] Preferably, the drug uses the strain or its culture solution as an active ingredient and is prepared into a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

[0011] More preferably, the carrier or excipient is solid, liquid or semisolid.

[0012] More preferably, the dosage form is a tablet, capsule, injection or pill.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, using a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease cell model commonly used in the art, Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 demonstrated a more significant therapeutic improvement in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease than Alistipes onderdonkii ATCCBAA-1178 and Alistipes finegoldii DSM17242, both members of the same genus. The former demonstrated approximately 100% higher improvement in the markers of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease model group than the latter two strains. Those skilled in the art are aware that Alistipes is a relatively new bacterial genus, primarily isolated from the human intestinal microbiome. Bacteria of this genus not only participate in the development and progression of various diseases but also have protective effects against certain diseases. It is generally believed that Alistipes finegoldii and Alistipes onderdonkii of the genus Alistipes have better activity, but experiments in the present invention have shown that the Alistipes putredinis strain Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 of this genus has a significantly better therapeutic effect on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and the improvement rate of landmark indicators far exceeds that of Alistipes finegoldii strain Alistipes finegoldii DSM17242 and Alistipes onderdonkii strain Alistipes onderdonkii ATCC BAA-1178. This technical effect is unexpected.

[0015] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, an animal model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease commonly used in the art was used to demonstrate that Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 can effectively improve the body weight, liver weight, glucose tolerance, and insulin tolerance of mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, effectively reduce hepatic lipid accumulation in mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, effectively reduce blood lipids and liver lipids in mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and improve liver function in mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

[0016] Therefore, the Alistipes putredinis strain (such as Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800) or its culture fluid has the prospect of being developed into a drug for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0061] 2. Bacterial culture and sample preparation

[0062] (1) Bacterial culture

[0063] Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800, Alistipes onderdonkii ATCC BAA-1178, and Alistipes finegoldii DSM17242 were cultured in minced meat carbohydrate liquid medium in an anaerobic incubator containing 10% CO2, 10% H2, and 80% N2.

[0064] (2) Sample preparation

[0065] Preparation of cell experiment samples: The growth curves of each bacteria were determined by preliminary experiments, and the mid-exponential harvest point was determined. Then, the cells were harvested at the same initial bacterial density (1×10 8 CFU / mL) was inoculated and cultured. The strain was collected when the target OD value was ±10%, and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm and 4°C for 10 min. The total colony count corresponding to each supernatant was determined after centrifugation. The supernatant was diluted / concentrated according to the CFU ratio to an equivalent bacterial secretion amount. The supernatant with an equivalent bacterial secretion amount was then filtered through a 0.22 μm sterile filter membrane to remove residual bacteria and particulate matter before use for cell administration.

[0066] Animal experiment sample preparation: Bacteria were collected in the logarithmic phase, centrifuged at 13000 rpm and 20°C for 10 min, and diluted to 2×10 8 CFU / mL was used for gavage.

[0067] 3. Effects on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease cell models

[0068] (1) Cell culture

[0069] HepG2 cells were cultured in DEME high-glucose medium (penicillin 100 U / mL, streptomycin 100 μg / mL) containing dual-antibody antibodies, followed by addition of inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) to a complete medium containing 15% FBS. The cells were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator and passaged using 0.25% trypsin when they reached 70% to 80% confluency.

[0070] (2) Establishment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease cell model, grouped drug administration, and determination of markers

[0071] HepG2 cells were plated in 6-well plates (about 8 × 10 cells per well). 5 cells), cultured in 15% FBS DMEM high-glucose medium containing double antibodies, and administered the next day. A control group (replaced with normal medium containing 15% FBS), a model group (replaced with 15% FBS medium containing 400 μM OA, 200 μM PA, and 20% minced meat carbohydrate culture solution), an Ao-administered group (replaced with 15% FBS medium containing 400 μM OA, 200 μM PA, and 20% Alistipes onderdonkii supernatant), an Ap-administered group (replaced with 15% FBS medium containing 400 μM OA, 200 μM PA, and 20% Alistipes putredinis supernatant), and an Af-administered group (replaced with 15% FBS medium containing 400 μM OA, 200 μM PA, and 20% Alistipes finegoldii supernatant) were set up. 24 hours after administration, discard the culture medium and rinse twice with PBS buffer. Trypsinize for 2 minutes, then pipette cells with PBS and transfer to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and retain the cell pellet. Homogenize the cell pellet with 0.2 ml of PBS and disrupt with ultrasound in an ice-water bath. The homogenate was then assayed for TG content according to the TG kit instructions without centrifugation.

[0072] 4. Effects on animal models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

[0073] (1) Establishment of animal model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and group-based drug administration

[0074] After one week of adaptive feeding, mice were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (Chow, n=8) was fed a normal diet, while a model group (HFD, n=8) and an Ap administration group (HFD+Ap, n=8) were fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks. Mice in the HFD+Ap group were gavaged daily with Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 dissolved in sterile PBS, while mice in the Chow and HFD groups were gavaged daily with an equal volume of PBS. During the daily dosing period, mice had unlimited access to water and food intake, and their body weights were recorded weekly.

[0075] (2) Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT)

[0076] An OGTT test was performed after 8 weeks of dosing. After fasting for 12 hours, the mice in each group had their blood glucose levels measured at 0 minutes. Subsequently, they were gavaged with a 2g / kg glucose solution, and their blood glucose levels were measured at 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. A line graph was plotted with time on the X-axis and blood glucose on the Y-axis, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.

[0077] An ITT study was performed 8 weeks after administration. After fasting for 4 hours, blood glucose levels were measured at 0 minutes. Each mouse was then intraperitoneally injected with insulin solution (0.75 U / kg). Blood glucose levels were measured at 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. A line graph was plotted with time as the X-axis and blood glucose as the Y-axis, and the AUC was calculated.

[0078] (3) Collection and processing of samples at the end of animal experiments

[0079] After 8 weeks of dosing, various indicators were measured. After the mice stabilized for 3 days, they were fasted for 12 hours. Blood was collected by removing the eyeballs and allowed to stand at room temperature for 4 hours. The cells were then centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was collected and aliquoted for later use (stored at -80°C). The liver tissue was removed and weighed. After washing with saline, tissue from three mice in each group was fixed with a universal tissue fixative. The remaining tissue was quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen and then transferred to -80°C for storage.

[0080] (4) Observation of liver tissue pathology

[0081] Liver samples were fixed in 4% PFA and embedded in paraffin. The embedded sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E). Some frozen liver tissue was stained with Oil Red O to observe lipid accumulation in the liver.

[0082] (5) Detection of biochemical indicators in mouse serum and liver

[0083] The kits were used to determine total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum as well as total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) in liver according to the instructions.

[0084] (6) Data analysis methods

[0085] Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 9.5.0 software, and all experimental data are expressed as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA was used to compare differences between multiple groups, with P < 0.05 indicating statistical significance (P < 0.05 is marked with "*"; P < 0.01 is marked with "**"; and P < 0.001 is marked with "***").

[0086] 3. Experimental Results

[0087] 1. Improvement of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease cell model

[0088] The experimental results are shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. Compared with the control group, the TG content in the model group cells was significantly increased, indicating successful model establishment. Compared with the model group, the TG content in the groups treated with supernatants from Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800, Alistipes onderdonkii ATCC BAA-1178, and Alistipes finegoldii DSM 17242 bacteria was significantly decreased. The supernatant from Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 showed the greatest improvement, with the improvement rate of the marker relative to the model group approximately 100% higher than that of the other two strains. Therefore, Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 was selected for subsequent experiments.

[0112] In summary:

[0113] The above experiments, using a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease cell model commonly used in the art, demonstrated that Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 exhibited a more significant therapeutic improvement in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease than Alistipes onderdonkii ATCC BAA-1178 and Alistipes finegoldii DSM17242, both of the same genus Alistipes. The former demonstrated approximately 100% higher improvement in the markers of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease model group than the latter two strains. Those skilled in the art are aware that Alistipes is a relatively new bacterial genus, primarily isolated from the human intestinal microbiome. Bacteria of this genus not only participate in the development and progression of various diseases but also have protective effects against certain diseases. It is generally believed that Alistipes finegoldii and Alistipes onderdonkii of the genus Alistipes have better activity, but the above experiments have proved that the Alistipes putredinis strain Alistipes putredinis ATCC 29800 of this genus has a significantly better therapeutic effect on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and the improvement rate of landmark indicators far exceeds that of Alistipes finegoldii strain Alistipes finegoldii DSM17242 and Alistipes onderdonkii strain Alistipes onderdonkii ATCC BAA-1178. This technical effect is unexpected.
