Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to application of Bifidobacterium breve lw01 in preparation of products for preventing or adjuvant treating obesity-related tumors. BACKGROUND
[0002] The prevalence of overweight / obese individuals has sharply increased and is associated with a higher risk of at least 13 cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. There is an interaction between gut microbiota and obesity, and obesity-related gut microbiota imbalance can promote cancer progression by affecting systemic immunity or destroying local immune surveillance. More and more evidence confirms that certain symbiotic bacteria can prevent cancer occurrence or improve the efficacy of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Although probiotics have a significant market position in weight management, their potential role in tumor regulation in obese individuals and their potential mechanisms still need further research.
[0003] Microbiota-derived metabolites are the key hub of the interaction between gut microbiota and tumors that cross the intestinal mucosal barrier. Short-chain fatty acids produced by complex carbohydrate fermentation, and tryptophan derivatives produced by bacterial enzymatic processes, are the most widely studied classes of small molecule metabolites. Although these metabolites are important, their effects on immune cells are different, and some of the effects even contradict each other. Recently, emerging research has focused on bile acids (BAs), a host-microorganism co-metabolite that can act as a messenger of gut microbiota. The effects of bile acids have both beneficial and harmful sides, depending on factors such as the specific type of affected tissue and metabolic state. Although bile acids are recognized to have a bidirectional regulatory role, how specific types of bile acids specifically affect the function, infiltration, and expansion of anti-tumor immune cells (especially CD8 + T cells) in the context of obesity, and whether this effect is a key link in obesity-promoted tumors, is not clear. There is a lack of mature methods that effectively and specifically regulate the levels of harmful bile acids in obese individuals to restore immune surveillance function.
[0004] Although probiotics are widely used in fields such as weight management, and some symbiotic bacteria have been confirmed to have potential anti-tumor or adjuvant therapy effects, there is a serious lack of research on the specific mechanisms by which they regulate tumor occurrence and development in obese individuals. Overweight can change the function of immune cells (such as natural killer (NK) cells or cytotoxic CD8 +The gut microbiota can remodel the tumor microenvironment (TME) by modulating the lipid and amino acid metabolism of T cells. Previous studies have focused on short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) or tryptophan metabolites, and there is a lack of in-depth exploration and solid evidence on whether and how probiotics can affect obesity-related TME and anti-tumor immunity by regulating key bile acid metabolism. A previous study on a probiotic, Bifidobacterium breve lw01, confirmed its anti-tumor effect on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which affects tryptophan metabolism, improves the pre-cancerous inflammatory intestinal environment by guiding the differentiation of immature colonic macrophages, and inhibits tumorigenesis. Therefore, it is valuable to further study the relationship between Bifidobacterium breve lw01 and obesity-related tumors in overweight / obese individuals. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to provide a use of Bifidobacterium breve lw01 in the preparation of a product for preventing or adjuvant therapy of obesity-related tumors. Bifidobacterium breve lw01 can target and regulate the disturbed bile acid metabolism in obesity, thereby significantly reducing the promotion of tumor growth by obesity, and ultimately achieving the purpose of inhibiting the development of obesity-related tumors.
[0006] To achieve the above application purposes, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present application provides a use of Bifidobacterium breve lw01 in the preparation of a product for preventing or adjuvant therapy of obesity-related tumors.
[0008] As a preferred, the classification name of the Bifidobacterium breve lw01 is Bifidobacterium breve, which has been preserved in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center on May 8, 2019, the address of the preservation center is No. 1, Beichen West Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China, the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the preservation number is CGMCC NO. 17727.
[0009] The present application provides a use of Bifidobacterium breve lw01 in the preparation of a product for targeting and regulating the intestinal flora in obesity.
[0010] The present application provides a use of Bifidobacterium breve lw01 in the preparation of a product for regulating the bile acid metabolism level in obesity.
[0011] The present application provides a use of bile acid as a target in the preparation of a product for preventing or adjuvant therapy of obesity-related tumors.
[0012] The present application provides an obesity-related tumor immunosuppression product, which comprises the Bifidobacterium breve lw01.
[0013] Preferably, the concentration of Bifidobacterium breve lw01 is (0.8-1.2) x 10 9 CFU / 100 μL.
[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The technical scheme of the present application discloses a specific molecular mechanism of how abnormal increase of a specific bile acid, Taurocholic Acid (TCA) level, exacerbates tumor growth by directly inhibiting the accumulation, local expansion and function of key anti-tumor immune cells (especially cytotoxic CD8 + T cells) in the tumor microenvironment. It is clear that TCA is a key effector molecule and potential intervention target of obesity-related tumor immunosuppression. TCA down-regulates the expression of chemokine receptor CXCR6 on the surface of CD8 + T cells in the tumor microenvironment by inhibiting the MAPK / ERK pathway, interferes with its recruitment and infiltration to the tumor site, and weakens its cytotoxic function, thereby inhibiting the anti-tumor immune response.
[0016] 2. The technical scheme of the present application studies that Bifidobacterium breve lw01 can effectively reduce the serum and local TCA level of obese individuals, and confirms that the probiotic can target and regulate the disturbed bile acid metabolism in obesity, degrade bile salts by using bile salt hydrolase, especially reduce TCA which has immunosuppressive effect, and then improve the inhibitory tumor immune microenvironment to play a tumor inhibition effect.
[0017] 3. The technical scheme of the present application proves that taking Bifidobacterium breve lw01 can reduce the TCA level, can effectively reverse the inhibition of CD8 + T cell function induced by obesity, restore its infiltration, expansion and killing activity at the tumor site, thereby significantly reducing the promotion of tumor growth by obesity, and ultimately achieving the purpose of inhibiting the development of obesity-related tumors.

[0247] In summary, tauroursodeoxycholic acid inhibits the MAPK / ERK pathway, limits the local CD8 + T cell infiltration in tumor, and weakens its cytotoxic function, promoting tumor growth.
[0248] Example 9
[0249] The collected tumor infiltrating CD8 + T cells were sent to Shenzhen Huada Gene Technology Co., Ltd. for mRNA sequencing analysis.
[0250] The collected tumor infiltrating CD8 +Data processing and analysis of T cell mRNA: The raw data obtained by sequencing was filtered using SOAPnuke to filter out reads containing adapters, reads with unknown base N content greater than 5%, and low-quality reads (reads with a proportion of bases with quality values less than 15 accounting for more than 20% of the total number of bases in the reads). Clean data was obtained. Subsequently, data analysis, plotting, and mining were performed using Dr. Tom's multi-omics data mining system. (2) Clean data was aligned to the reference genome using HISTA2 software. Then, Ericscript was used for gene fusion detection, and rMATS was used for variable splicing and differential variable splicing detection. (3) Clean data was aligned to the reference gene set using Bowtie2. Gene expression quantification was performed using RSEM (v1.3.1) [6] software, and pheatmap was used to plot the expression quantity clustering heat map of genes in different samples. DESeq2 was used for differential gene detection with a condition of Q value≤0.05 or FDR≤0.001. (4) Further exploration of the functions of genes related to phenotype changes, based on hypergeometric test, Phyper was used for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of differential genes, with Qvalue≤0.05 as the threshold, and genes meeting this condition were defined as significantly enriched in candidate genes.
[0251] CD8 + T cells isolated from Hepa1-6 tumors of TCA group and PBS group mice were analyzed by RNA sequencing. The results of RNA sequencing analysis are shown in Figure 53 . The relative expression of characteristic genes in CD8 + T cells from TCA-treated and PBS group mice is shown in Figure 54 . The results of KEGG pathway enrichment analysis are shown in Figure 55 . The results of biological process (GO-BP) analysis of down-regulated genes in TCA-treated CD8 + T cells are shown in Figure 56 . The top 20 pathways identified are shown.
[0252] CD8 + T cells isolated from WT mice were treated with different doses of TCA, and the phosphorylation of ERK, P38, JNK, and P65 was analyzed by immunoblotting (the same as in Example 2). The relative expression of ERK, P38, JNK, and P65 was determined by normalization to RPS-18, and the results are shown in Figure 57 .
[0253] The effect of TCA on CD8 +The effects of ERK phosphorylation, proliferation and cytotoxic cytokine and chemokine receptors expression at the transcriptional and protein levels in T cells were manipulated as in Example 8, and the results are shown in Figure 58 and Figure 59 .
[0254] In summary, TCA inactivates CD8 + T cells through the MAPK / ERK pathway.
[0255] In summary, oral B. breve lw01 degrades the elevated circulating taurocholic acid in obese mice using bile salt hydrolase, rescues the impaired chemotaxis and cytotoxic effect of CD8 + T cells by restoring their ERK phosphorylation levels, improves the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, and inhibits tumor development in obese mice (as shown in Figure 60 .
