Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of probiotics, and particularly relates to a combined bacterial agent for improving Alzheimer's disease and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system, mainly characterized by memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, language and movement disorders, personality changes and other clinical features. According to the latest epidemiological statistics in 2025, there are more than 55 million dementia patients in the world, among which 60%-70% are AD, and it is expected to increase to 152.8 million in 2050. The prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease has become a medical, social and economic problem that needs to be solved in the current society.

[0003] The main pathological features of Alzheimer's disease include extracellular senile plaques (SPs), neurofibrillary tangles and neuronal loss, etc., but its pathogenesis is not fully understood. It is generally believed to be related to β-amyloid (β-amyloid, Aβ) toxicity, oxidative stress, abnormal phosphorylation of Tau protein, free radical damage, inflammatory response, neurotoxicity damage, etc., and brain ischemia and hypoxia can also cause cognitive dysfunction. At present, the drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease mainly include cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil) and excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists (memantine), but these drugs can only improve symptoms, prevent further development of dementia, maintain residual brain function and reduce complications, and cannot cure the disease. For example, donepezil, as a commonly used drug for Alzheimer's disease, is widely used for symptom control, but still has gastrointestinal side effects (such as nausea, diarrhea, etc.). This not only leads to a decrease in long-term medication compliance, but also because its efficacy is only for symptom relief, it cannot intervene in the potential pathological mechanisms of the gut microbiota-brain axis and other Alzheimer's disease, and some patients have the risk of decreased efficacy over time.

[0004] In recent years, studies have shown that intestinal flora imbalance is related to the progression of Alzheimer's disease, but existing microbial preparations still face bottlenecks: single strain has limited effect, live bacterial preparations (such as probiotics) are easily destroyed by gastric acid and have low colonization rate, and inactivated bacterial preparations avoid the stability problem of live bacteria, but due to the lack of sustained metabolic activity of live bacteria, it is difficult to dynamically regulate the intestinal flora, and after the release of its components, it is easily metabolized and cleared, and long-term intervention cannot be achieved. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the technical problems that the existing Alzheimer's disease treatment drugs (such as donepezil) have significant gastrointestinal side effects, low long-term medication compliance, and the existing microbial preparations have limited effect of single strain, the live bacteria are easily destroyed by gastric acid, the colonization rate is low, and the inactivated bacteria components are easily metabolized and cleared, thereby the effect sustainability is insufficient, the present application provides a combined bacterial agent for improving Alzheimer's disease and application thereof. The combined bacterial agent is prepared by synergistically matching Lactobacillus gasseri LFLG-245 and inactivated mucinophilic Akkermansia muciniphila AKKLF, which can not only improve the survival rate and colonization efficiency of live bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, but also realize dynamic regulation and long-term intervention on intestinal flora through the synergistic effect of the active components of the two, thereby making up for the deficiencies of traditional drugs and single microbial preparations in terms of therapeutic effect sustainability and pathological intervention level.

[0090] Group B: 0.5 mL of the combined bacterial agent prepared in Comparative Example 4 and 0.5 mL of physiological saline containing donepezil were administered by gavage daily. The daily gavage volume of donepezil was calculated as 0.44 mg / kg of rat body weight.

[0091] Each group was administered the above-mentioned dosage via gavage once daily for four consecutive weeks. The experimental procedure and research adhered to the principles and requirements established by the Animal Ethics Committee of the Chinese Association for Laboratory Animal Science.

[0092] 3. Behavioral tests

[0093] The Morris water maze experiment is an experiment in which laboratory animals are forced to swim and learn to find platforms hidden in the water. It is mainly used to test the learning and memory abilities of laboratory animals in terms of spatial location and orientation (spatial orientation), and its application is very common in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research.

[0094] (1) Experimental equipment

[0095] The Morris water maze detection system consists of two parts: an ABS powder-coated cylindrical water tank and the VisuTrack animal behavior analysis system (Shanghai Xinruan Information Technology Co., Ltd.). The water tank has a diameter of 120 cm and a height of 50 cm. The platform has a diameter of 6 cm and a height of 14 cm. The water tank is divided into four quadrants (NE, SE, SW, NW) along the four cardinal directions. The midpoint of the arc on the quadrant wall is the optional entry point for the animal. The platform can be placed in the center of any quadrant. The VisuTrack image acquisition and analysis system records the animal's swimming trajectory data for indicator extraction and analysis.

[0096] (2) Experiment content

[0097] Adaptation training: Before the experiment, rats were placed in a water maze (without a platform) and allowed to swim freely for 5 minutes to familiarize them with the maze environment and eliminate their fear of the environment.

[0098] Orientation and navigation experiment: Four times a day for days 1-4. Rat were placed in the water from the midpoint of the edges of four different quadrants, with their heads facing the pool wall. The time it took for the rat to find the hidden platform (escape latency) was recorded. If the rat did not find the platform within 90 seconds, it was guided to the platform and remained there for 10 seconds.

[0099] Space exploration experiment: On day 5, the platform was removed, and the rats were placed in the water from the quadrant opposite to the platform. The swimming distance to the target quadrant and the number of times the rats crossed the original platform position within 90 seconds were recorded.

[0100] The experiment lasted for 5 days, with each day starting at a fixed time and each time slot consisting of 4 training sessions.

[0101] (3) Results and Analysis

[0102] Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 software. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The t-test was used for comparisons between groups, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

[0103] Table 1. Time taken for rats to reach the platform during the navigation experiment (unit: seconds)

[0104]

[0105] Note: Compared with the normal control group, ▲▲ indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and ▲ indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the model group, ** indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and * indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, ## indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and # indicates a significant difference (p<0.05).

[0106] In Table 1, the shorter the time it takes for a rat to reach the platform, the better its learning and memory abilities.

[0107] Table 2 Results of Space Exploration Experiments

[0108]

[0109] Note: Compared with the normal control group, ▲▲ indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and ▲ indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the model group, ** indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and * indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, ## indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and # indicates a significant difference (p<0.05).

[0110] In Table 2, the more times a rat crosses the platform, the better its learning and memory ability; the higher the percentage of swimming distance in the target quadrant, the better its learning and memory ability.

[0111] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the escape latency of rats in the normal control group gradually shortened, indicating that the rats' familiarity with the environment gradually increased. The escape latency of rats in the model group was significantly longer than that of the normal control group, the number of times they crossed the platform was less than that of the normal control group, and the percentage of swimming distance in the target quadrant was significantly lower than that of the normal control group, indicating that the model was successfully established.

[0112] Compared to the model group, the escape latency of rats in the positive control group, AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, AKKLF live bacterial solution group, LFLG-245 live bacterial solution group, combination bacterial agent A group, combination bacterial agent B group, combined A group, and combined B group were significantly reduced, the number of times they crossed the platform was increased, and the percentage of swimming distance in the target quadrant was significantly increased, indicating that they all had the effect of improving cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease model rats. Among them, compared with the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, the combination bacterial agent A group and the combined A group had a more significant effect on improving cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease model rats. This indicates that the combination of Akkermansia myxophilus AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution and Lactobacillus gasseri LFLG-245 live bacterial solution is the optimal strategy for improving cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease model rats, with an effect close to the normal level (p>0.05) and superior to the positive control group (p<0.05).

[0113] 4. Serum inflammatory factor level test

[0114] After the behavioral test was completed, blood was collected from the heart of the rats by puncture. The blood was centrifuged at 3000 r / min for 2 min at 4℃ to separate the serum. The serum was divided into two parts for use. One part was used to detect the level of inflammation in the serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

[0115] (1) Experimental materials

[0116] The detection of IL-6, hs-CRP, and TNF-α by ELISA was performed according to the instructions of the ELISA kit (Wuhan Yilairuit Biotechnology), and the ELISA reader used was a TECAN (Switzerland) multi-functional ELISA reader.

[0117] (2) Experiment content

[0118] ① Plotting the standard curve

[0119] Dilute IL-6, hs-CRP, and TNF-α standards to different concentration gradients (e.g., 0 pg / mL, 10 pg / mL, 50 pg / mL, 100 pg / mL, 200 pg / mL, 400 pg / mL) using diluent. Add 100 μL of each concentration of standard to the corresponding well of an ELISA plate, repeating three times per well. Add 100 μL of specific enzyme-labeled antibody to each well, mix well, and incubate at 37°C for 2 h. Wash the ELISA plate three times with washing buffer, soaking for 30 seconds each time, and finally pat dry on absorbent paper. Add 100 μL of chromogenic reagent to each well, mix gently, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 15 min. Add 50 μL of stop solution to each well and mix gently. Measure the absorbance of each well at 450 nm using a microplate reader. Plot a standard curve with standard concentration on the x-axis and absorbance on the y-axis.

[0120] ② Sample testing

[0121] Rat serum samples were diluted 1:10 with diluent. 100 μL of the diluted serum sample was added to the corresponding well of an ELISA plate, with three replicates per well. 100 μL of specific enzyme-labeled antibody was added to each well, mixed, and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The ELISA plate was washed three times with washing buffer, immersing for 30 seconds each time, and then patted dry on absorbent paper. 100 μL of chromogenic reagent was added to each well, gently mixed, and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 15 min. 50 μL of stop solution was added to each well, and gently mixed. The absorbance of each well was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader, and the concentrations of IL-6 (interleukin-6), hs-CRP (C-reactive protein), and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) in the sample were calculated based on the standard curve.

[0122] (3) Results and Analysis

[0123] The experimental results are shown in Table 3.

[0124] Table 3. Levels of inflammatory factors in each group

[0125]

[0126] Note: Compared with the normal control group, ▲▲ indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and ▲ indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the model group, ** indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and * indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, ## indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and # indicates a significant difference (p<0.05).

[0127] As shown in Table 3, the levels of inflammatory factors IL-6, hs-CRP, and TNF-α in the model group rats were significantly higher than those in the normal control group (p<0.01), indicating that the model was successfully established. Compared with the model group, the levels of inflammatory factors in the positive control group, AKKLF live bacteria group, AKKLF inactivated bacteria group, LFLG-245 live bacteria group, combined bacterial agent A group, combined bacterial agent B group, combined A group, and combined B group were significantly lower (p<0.05) or extremely significantly lower (p<0.01), indicating that these groups can inhibit the inflammatory response in Alzheimer's disease rats by regulating the three inflammatory factors IL-6, hs-CRP, and TNF-α. Moreover, compared with the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, the level of inflammatory factors in the combined bacterial agent A group was significantly reduced (p<0.05), and the level of inflammatory factors in the combined A group and the combined B group was extremely significantly reduced (p<0.01), indicating that the inflammatory suppression effect of the combined bacterial agent A group was better than that of the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, and the combined A group showed a better effect, which has clinical translational significance.

[0128] 5. AD pathological marker level test

[0129] After cardiac blood collection, the rats were euthanized by decapitation, and the entire brain was rapidly dissected. The left hippocampus and cortical tissue were excised along the sagittal plane and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h, followed by dehydration in 30% sucrose solution for 48 h. The remaining right brain tissue was immediately flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C for protein extraction.

[0130] (1) Experiment content

[0131] ① Quantitative analysis of fixed Aβ plaques

[0132] Thioflavin S staining method: After OCT embedding of brain tissue, 10 μm thick coronal frozen sections were prepared. After rinsing with PBS, 0.1% thioflavin S staining solution (dissolved in 50% ethanol) was added, and the sections were incubated in the dark for 8 min. After staining, the sections were separated twice with 70% ethanol for 10 seconds each time, rinsed with pure water, and mounted with glycerol. Images of the hippocampal CA1 region and cortex were taken using a fluorescence microscope (excitation wavelength 450 nm, emission wavelength 510 nm). The area percentage of Aβ plaques was calculated using ImageJ software (plaque area / total field of view × 100%). Three sections were analyzed for each rat, and the mean value was taken.

[0133] ② Detection of phosphorylated Tau protein (p-Tau)

[0134] Protein blotting: Frozen brain tissue (hippocampus) was added to RIPA lysis buffer (containing protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors), homogenized, and centrifuged at 4°C (1200 rpm, 15 min). The supernatant was collected to determine protein concentration. 30 μg of protein was loaded onto a PVDF membrane, separated by 10% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and transferred to the membrane. After membrane blocking, the membrane was sequentially incubated with primary antibody (p-TauAT8 antibody, 1:1000; total Tau antibody, 1:2000) and HRP-labeled secondary antibody (1:5000). After ECL development, the band grayscale values ​​were analyzed using ImageLab software, and the ratio of p-Tau to total Tau was calculated.

[0135] ③ GSK-3β activity assay

[0136] Collect the supernatant from the brain tissue homogenate and follow the instructions for the GSK-3β activity assay kit (Abcam, ab131368). Mix the sample with the substrate (GSK-3β specific peptide) and add the reaction buffer (containing ATP and Mg). 2+ Incubate at 37℃ for 30 min. After adding the stop solution, measure the absorbance at 450 nm and calculate the GSK-3β activity based on the standard curve.

[0137] (2) Results and Analysis

[0138] The experimental results are shown in Table 4.

[0139] Table 4 Results of AD pathological marker tests in each group

[0140]

[0141] Note: Compared with the normal control group, ▲▲ indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and ▲ indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the model group, ** indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and * indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, ## indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and # indicates a significant difference (p<0.05).

[0142] Table 4 shows that for the three AD pathological markers—Aβ plaque area, p-Tau / Tau ratio, and GSK-3β activity—the model group rats showed extremely significant increases in the test results compared to the normal control group (p<0.01), indicating that the AD model was successfully established and exhibited typical pathological features of Aβ deposition, Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and GSK-3β overactivation. Compared to the model group, the positive control group, AKKLF live bacteria group, AKKLF inactivated bacteria group, LFLG-245 live bacteria group, combined bacterial agent A group, combined bacterial agent B group, combined A group, and combined B group showed significantly decreased (p<0.05) or extremely significant (p<0.01) test results, indicating that these groups can exert neuroprotective effects and improve Alzheimer's disease by regulating Aβ metabolism, Tau phosphorylation, or the GSK-3β signaling pathway. Moreover, compared to the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, the pathological marker test results of the combined bacterial agent group A, the combination group A, and the combination group B showed extremely significant reductions (p<0.01). In addition, the combination group A showed superior effects, indicating that the combination of Akkermansia myxophilus AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution and Lactobacillus gasseri LFLG-245 live bacterial solution, when used in combination with drugs, can produce an additive effect, possibly through the synergistic regulation of AD progression via multiple targets including gut microbiota-metabolism-neuroinflammation.

[0143] 6. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolism capacity test

[0144] (1) Sample collection

[0145] After rats were euthanized by decapitation, the following samples were collected under aseptic conditions:

[0146] ①Intestinal contents: Take the contents from the terminal ileum to the colon, weigh them, add 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and dilute at a ratio of 1:9 (w / v), vortex for 5 min, centrifuge at 12000×g for 15 min at 4℃, take the supernatant and filter it through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, aliquot and freeze at -80℃ for GABA detection.

[0147] ② Serum: Another sample of serum preserved for serum inflammatory factor testing.

[0148] (2) Experimental methods

[0149] ① Detection of intestinal GABA by high performance liquid chromatography

[0150] An Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC system was used, with a ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0), the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min, the column temperature was 30℃, the detection wavelength was 210 nm, and the injection volume was 20 μL. GABA was separated using a gradient elution program: isocratic elution for 0–5 min, followed by linear increase of the acetonitrile ratio to 20% for 5–10 min. The GABA concentration was calculated using the external standard method, with a standard curve ranging from 0.1–50 μg / mL (R0). 2 >0.99).

[0151] ② Detection of serum GABA by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

[0152] The rat GABA ELISA kit (catalog number: MBS726793) was used, strictly following the instructions: Samples were co-incubated with horseradish peroxidase-labeled GABA antibody for 1 h, washed, and then TMB chromogenic solution was added. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm, and the concentration was calculated using a standard curve. Simultaneously, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65 / 67) activity was detected: tissue homogenate was reacted with substrate L-glutamate (final concentration 10 mM) at 37℃ for 30 min, and the amount of GABA generated was determined colorimetrically.

[0153] (3) Results and Analysis

[0154] The experimental results are shown in Table 5.

[0155] Table 5. Results of GABA metabolism-related indicators in each group

[0156]

[0157] Note: Compared with the normal control group, ▲▲ indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and ▲ indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the model group, ** indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and * indicates a significant difference (p<0.05); compared with the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, ## indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01), and # indicates a significant difference (p<0.05).

[0158] As shown in Table 5, for the four GABA metabolism-related indicators—intestinal GABA, serum GABA, GAD activity, and gad gene expression—the GABA metabolism-related indicators in the model group rats were significantly lower than those in the normal control group (p<0.01), indicating that the model was successfully established and the GABAergic system was impaired. Compared with the model group, the GABA metabolism-related indicators in the positive control group, AKKLF live bacteria group, AKKLF inactivated bacteria group, LFLG-245 live bacteria group, combined bacterial agent A group, combined bacterial agent B group, combined A group, and combined B group showed significantly higher (p<0.05) or extremely significantly higher (p<0.01) GABA metabolism-related indicators, indicating that these groups can improve GABA synthesis efficiency and alleviate Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, compared to the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group, the levels of inflammatory factors in the combined bacterial agent B group were significantly reduced (p<0.05), while the GABA synthesis efficiency of the combined A and B groups was significantly increased (p<0.01), indicating that the GABA synthesis efficiency of the combined bacterial agent B group was better than that of the AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution group. The reason for this is that the combined bacterial agent can upregulate gad gene expression by releasing stable metabolites (such as γ-aminobutyric acid precursors). Furthermore, the combined A group showed a better effect, which may be because the combination of Akkermansia myxophilus AKKLF inactivated bacterial solution and Lactobacillus gasseri LFLG-245 live bacterial solution, used in combination with donepezil, can directly promote GABA production through the dual pathway of "upregulating gad expression - activating GAD enzyme".
