Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of tumor drugs, and particularly relates to a tumor inhibiting preparation based on Akkermansia muciniphila. BACKGROUND

[0002] Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK for short) is an anaerobic bacterium that inhabits in the human intestinal tract. As an important member of the human intestinal microflora, AKK can utilize mucin in the intestinal tract as its sole carbon and nitrogen source, and plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier. Meanwhile, it can also colonize in the intestines of other animals including mice and protect the function of the intestines.

[0003] These functions are mainly attributed to the fact that AKK can promote the repair and regeneration of intestinal epithelial cells by consuming mucin, thereby enhancing the intestinal barrier function and preventing harmful substances from entering the body. Meanwhile, the decomposed mucin can serve as food for other intestinal probiotics, and these combined effects can further enhance the host's immune system, increase the body's immunity, and prevent the occurrence of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

[0004] AKK is closely related to human health. A large number of studies have shown that intestinal AKK directly affects metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. In summary, AKK bacteria have broad application prospects in preventing various metabolic diseases. SUMMARY

[0050] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0051] The concepts involved in the present application will be described below first with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following descriptions of the concepts are only for the purpose of making the content of the present application easier to understand, and do not represent the limitation on the protection scope of the present application; meanwhile, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0052] The research content of the embodiments of the present application is as follows: Culture of Akkermansia muciniphila: Akkermansia muciniphila with the preservation number of ATCC BAA-835 was purchased from Beijing Biozym Scientific Co., Ltd. Akkermansia muciniphila was cultured in a brain heart infusion (BHI) medium containing mucin under strict anaerobic conditions. Colony forming units (CFU / mL) were determined by performing plate colony counting on a BHI medium containing 1% agarose. For experimental use, the cultured Akkermansia muciniphila was diluted with a phosphate buffer solution (PBS) to achieve a final content of 1×10 9 CFU in 200 microliters of volume, to obtain a bacterial suspension. In pasteurization, the bacterial suspension was incubated at 70°C for 30 minutes.

[0053] Culture of tumor cells: The mouse colorectal cancer cell lines were MC38 and CT26, which were purchased from the Shanghai Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. MC38 or CT26 was cultured in a DMEM medium added with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin and streptomycin. The cells were cultured at 37°C under a condition of 5% carbon dioxide. Before use, the cells were confirmed to be free of mycoplasma contamination by PCR detection.

[0054] Specific pathogen free (SPF) C57BL / 6 mice were purchased from the Animal Center of Hangzhou Medical College and acclimated for one week prior to treatment. C57BL / 6 mice were 4-6 weeks old and housed in a 22-23 °C environment with a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle and free access to water and regular food.

[0055] Two delivery methods were used in this study: 1) oral gavage, i.e. the conventional gavage method, and 2) direct mixing with tumor cells followed by subcutaneous injection, i.e. direct delivery method, as shown in the schematic diagram of delivery methods Figure 1 AKK for oral gavage was dispersed in sterile PBS solution to obtain AKK suspension. For the first delivery method, mice were administered once every 3 days by oral gavage. Control mice were gavaged with the same volume of sterile PBS. For the second delivery method, AKK suspension was mixed with tumor cells at a certain ratio to obtain a mixture, and finally 100 microliters of the mixture was injected subcutaneously into mice. The concentration of AKK suspension was 1 x 10 9 cells were suspended in 200 microliters of PBS.

[0056] Intratumoral injection of AKK: 1 x 10 6 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously, and 5-7 days later, AKK suspension was administered by intratumoral injection. After injection, tumor samples were collected at 24 hours and 48 hours, and the tumor homogenate was diluted and spotted on BHI plates containing gentamicin and kanamycin. The concentration of AKK suspension was 5 x 10 8 CFU was dissolved in 30 microliters of PBS.

[0057] Intravenous injection of AKK: 1 x 10 6 MC38 cells were injected subcutaneously, and 7 days after injection, AKK suspension was introduced into mice by tail vein injection. At 2, 6, 24, 48, and 76 hours after AKK suspension injection, blood and tumor samples were collected and cultured in BHI medium plates containing gentamicin and kanamycin. The concentration of AKK suspension included 10 7 CFU was dissolved in 100 microliters of PBS, 10 8 CFU was dissolved in 100 microliters of PBS, and 10 9 CFU was dissolved in 100 microliters of PBS.

[0058] Subcutaneous inoculation of tumor cell / AKK mixture: AKK in AKK suspension was mixed with tumor cells at a certain ratio to obtain 100 microliters of mixture, and finally 100 microliters of mixture was injected subcutaneously into mice. The concentration of AKK suspension was 1 x 10 9Cells were suspended in 200 μΐ of PBS. The Akk and tumor cell ratios were: 10:1, 5:1, 1:1, 0.25:1, 0.1:1, and 0.05:1. Tumor growth was observed: the size of the tumors was measured every 3 days after inoculation. Tumors were collected: 25 days after inoculation, tumors were collected and weighed, and statistical analysis was performed. They were divided into 2 parts: 1) quick frozen -80°C; 2) fixed in 10% formalin solution for 24-48 hours.

[0059] This study compared the effects of oral gavage and direct subcutaneous injection on tumor growth using colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in a syngeneic mouse model. For the oral gavage group, this study gavaged C57BL / 6 mice with 1 x 10 9 AKK for 5 weeks. At the beginning of the third week, this study inoculated these mice with 1 x 10 6 MC38 tumor cells and continued the AKK gavage until the tumors were harvested. In this way, this study observed a reduction of approximately 35% in tumor growth and tumor weight at the end of the experiment in the AKK group compared to the PBS control group.

[0060] This study administered AKK to tumor-bearing mice by oral administration and collected blood and tumor tissue at different time points to isolate AKK. From the blood samples, this study recovered 763 and 113 colony-forming units CFU / mL at 2 and 6 hours after fresh administration, respectively. However, the direct recovery of bacteria from the tumor failed. Therefore, this study used an enrichment method, i.e., incubating tumor tissue homogenate in BHI medium for 5 days. The results showed that the tumors of these mice did contain live AKK.

[0061] To further investigate the ability of bacteria to transfer from the blood circulation system to the tumor site and establish colonization, this study injected tumor cells according to the direct delivery method. When the tumor reached approximately 100 mm 3 AKK via intravenous injection. Subsequently, at 2, 6, 24, and 48 hours after injection, this study collected samples from the blood and the tumor. This time, this study successfully isolated AKK directly from the blood and the tumor. Specifically, this study isolated bacteria from blood samples within 2 to 24 hours, but failed to detect any after 48 hours. Notably, this study isolated more AKK from tumor tissue at the corresponding time points compared to blood samples. In particular, this study obtained more than 1000 colony-forming units (CFU) from each gram of tumor tissue even 48 hours after injection, while no colonies were formed in blood samples at that time. No colonies were formed until 76 hours.

[0062] These results indicate that bacteria can reach tumor sites via the bloodstream and may survive within the tumor for a period of time. To further test the survival of AKK in tumors, this study introduced AKK via intratumoral injection at a dose of 5 × 10⁻⁶ per tumor. 8 AKK was isolated from the tumor at 24, 48, and 168 hours post-injection, with more than 10 AKK samples obtained at both time points. 7 The recovery rate of 1 colony-forming unit / gram of tumor was much higher than that of tail vein injection, indicating that AKK can survive in tumors for at least 7 days.

[0063] The above findings indicate that AKK can be administered directly to mice via injection. In this study, 1×10⁻⁶ AKK was injected subcutaneously. 6 MC38 cells were pre-mixed with an equal number of AKK cells at a 1:1 ratio. Within 3 weeks post-injection, tumor growth in the AKK group was significantly slower than in the PBS group. At tumor harvest, the tumor volume in the AKK group was only one-quarter that in the PBS group. Similarly, the tumor weight in the AKK group was reduced by more than four times. Clearly, the tumor inhibition rate achieved through this direct delivery method was significantly higher than that achieved through gavage. Furthermore, this study also replaced AKK with E. coli, but no inhibition was observed in the E. coli-treated group.

[0064] This study used a direct delivery method to test the interaction between different ratios of AKK and tumor cells. The results are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 Tumor growth curves after different inoculation ratios are shown for groups A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Figure 3Tumor size after different ratios of inoculation, where Group A, Group B, Group C, Group D, Group E, Group F, and Group G, x represents tumor disappearance; tumor size after different ratios of inoculation shows that all ratios of inoculation from 0.1:1 to 10:1 of AKK to MC38 cells significantly reduced tumor growth, and this effect was proportional to the ratio of inoculation compared to the PBS control group. Notably, when the ratio of AKK to MC38 cells was 5:1, 2 out of 6 tumors disappeared, and when the ratio of AKK to MC38 cells was 10:1, 5 out of 6 tumors disappeared. According to the tumor growth curve, the tumor initially grew for a period of time before it began to decrease, especially when the ratio of AKK to MC38 cells was 10:1, which indicates that AKK-mediated tumor inhibition is still effective even in the absence of AKK. In addition, the same experiment was conducted using CT26 cells by the researchers in this study, and it was proven that the inhibition of CT26 cells by AKK and CT26 cells was proportional to the ratio of their numbers, i.e., the greater the ratio of AKK to CT26 cells, the better the inhibition effect. Moreover, the AKK-mediated tumor inhibition rate was higher in CT26 tumors than in MC38 tumors.

[0065] The present study conducted experiments on both immunodeficient nude mice and non-immunodeficient wild mice. The immunodeficient nude mice were athymic nude mice, and the non-immunodeficient wild mice were normal mice. In order to more accurately quantify tumor burden, the researchers in this study used MC38 cells expressing luciferase. The results for immunodeficient nude mice are shown in Figure 4 , where Group A were nude mice inoculated with MC38 cells and sterile PBS solution, and Group B were nude mice inoculated with MC38 cells and AKK suspension. The average luciferase signal of Group A and Group B was almost the same, and there was no significant difference in tumor weight between the two groups. The results for non-immunodeficient wild mice are shown in Figure 5 , where Group A were wild mice inoculated with MC38 cells and sterile PBS solution, and Group B were wild mice inoculated with MC38 cells and AKK suspension. The luciferase signal and tumor weight of Group B were significantly lower than those of Group A. This indicates that the host immune system plays a key role in AKK-mediated tumor inhibition.

[0066] The present study compared live AKK and dead AKK in a direct delivery mouse model. The results showed that live AKK was significantly better than dead AKK in inhibiting tumor growth. Dead AKK was AKK treated with pasteurization.

[0067] H&E staining showed that there were areas of apoptosis and necrosis in the dead AKK group, but these areas were not as extensive as in the live AKK group. Conversely, the KI-67 signal was stronger in the dead AKK group than in the live AKK group. Immunohistochemical staining showed that dead AKK exhibited a degree of tumor suppression compared to the PBS control group, but this effect was not as significant as that of live AKK. Quantitative analysis further confirmed this trend. Given the tumor suppression effect of dead AKK and tumor cells at a 1:1 ratio, the study subsequently tested whether increasing the ratio of dead AKK could enhance the tumor suppression effect as with live AKK. However, even at a ratio of 10:1, the tumor suppression effect of dead AKK was not as significant as that of live AKK at a ratio of 1:1, which was in sharp contrast to the ratio-dependent effect of live AKK. In summary, the direct delivery method has the following advantages: more effective tumor suppression, shorter experimental period, avoidance of the cumbersome gavage procedure, and reduction of stress on animals.

[0090] The tumor inhibition test is carried out on the tumor inhibition preparation based on mucinophilic Akkermansia prepared in the embodiments 5-8 and the comparative examples 1-3, taking MC38 cell as the test cell, inoculating in the mouse model for test, the test sample is the tumor inhibition preparation based on mucinophilic Akkermansia prepared in the embodiments 5-8 and the comparative examples 1-3, the number ratio of mucinophilic Akkermansia in the tumor inhibition preparation to MC38 cell in the test is 0.5:1, the number of MC38 cell is 1 million tumor cells, taking injection of the same volume of sterile PBS solution as blank control, taking the blank control as the benchmark to calculate the tumor cell inhibition rate, the result is as follows Figure 6S5 is Example 5, S6 is Example 6, S7 is Example 7, S8 is Example 8, D1 is Comparative Example 1, D2 is Comparative Example 2, D3 is Comparative Example 3, and the present application uses AKK mixed with tumor cells in a certain ratio to be injected into mice in the study, it is found that AKK can inhibit the growth of tumor cells, and AKK can survive in tumor cells for at least 7 days, and the effect of living AKK is better than that of dead AKK. In the present application, AKK is mixed in a bioactive liquid to prepare a tumor inhibiting preparation based on mucinophilic Akkermansia. In the preparation of the tumor inhibiting preparation based on mucinophilic Akkermansia, glucosamine acid conjugate can also be added as an adjuvant. In the preparation of glucosamine acid conjugate, first, the hydroxyl group is protected by reacting glucosamine with acetic anhydride to obtain acetyloxy glucosamine. Then, the amino group on the acetyloxy glucosamine reacts with succinic anhydride to obtain acetyloxy glucosamine acid. Acetyloxy glucosamine acid reacts with 2-aminothiazole-5-carboxylate to form acetyloxy glucosamine acid conjugate. Finally, the acetyl group is removed to obtain glucosamine acid conjugate. The present application finds that when acetyloxy glucosamine acid is prepared together with AKK to obtain a tumor inhibiting preparation based on mucinophilic Akkermansia, the tumor inhibiting preparation obtained has no obvious improvement effect on tumor inhibition. However, when acetyloxy glucosamine acid conjugate is prepared together with AKK to obtain a tumor inhibiting preparation based on mucinophilic Akkermansia, the tumor inhibiting preparation obtained has a significant improvement effect on tumor inhibition. The use amount of acetyloxy glucosamine acid conjugate needs to be within a certain range to have an effect. If the use amount is too low, the inhibitory effect cannot be improved. After the use of glucosamine acid conjugate, DL-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) alanine can also be added as an adjuvant for common use. The common use of DL-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) alanine and glucosamine acid conjugate can further improve the tumor inhibiting effect of the tumor inhibiting preparation.
