TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a human Lactobacillus johnsonii HA1108 and application thereof in preparing a biological preparation and / or a medicine for treating or relieving Parkinson's disease. BACKGROUND
[0002] Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and its etiology is complex and there is currently no effective treatment method. The core feature of Parkinson's disease is the massive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. It is known in the art that most Parkinson's disease patients have gastrointestinal symptoms (including constipation, delayed gastric emptying, slowed intestinal peristalsis, etc.) in the early stage. In addition, the composition of the intestinal flora of Parkinson's disease patients is significantly different from that of healthy controls, and the intestinal flora colonizing Parkinson's disease patients can exacerbate the motor dysfunction of mice, indicating that intestinal flora disorder is closely related to the occurrence and development of Parkinson's disease. Based on the "flora-gut-brain axis", exploring the feasibility of using human intestinal probiotics to treat or relieve Parkinson's disease is expected to provide a new idea for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
[0003] Currently, oral drugs are mainly used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease in the clinic, such as levodopa, dopamine receptor agonists, and monoamine oxidase B inhibitors. However, long-term drug use can cause varying degrees of side effects (nausea, vomiting, visual hallucinations, on-off effect, dyskinesia, etc.), and as the disease progresses, the continuous loss of dopaminergic neurons leads to a gradual decrease in the therapeutic effect of the drug. In contrast, the use of human intestinal probiotics and other microecological therapies for the intervention treatment of Parkinson's disease has higher safety and application value, and the intestinal flora therapy for Parkinson's disease patients is a new trend in the clinical treatment of Parkinson's disease.

[0041] Example 2, Animal experiment of Lactobacillus johnsonii HA1108 live bacteria in treating Parkinson's disease
[0042] 1. Materials and methods:
[0043] (1) Cultivation method of live bacteria of strain HA1108:
[0044] The strain HA1108 is activated on MRS solid medium and cultured anaerobically at 37°C overnight. Then, a single colony is picked and inoculated into MRS liquid medium for seed culture at a temperature of 37°C for 8-12 hours. Subsequently, the seed liquid is inoculated into MRS liquid medium with the same composition at an inoculation amount of 1-5%, and cultured anaerobically at 37°C overnight.
[0045] (2) Animal experiment design:
[0046] C57BL / 6J mice, male, 3 months old, are used in the experiment. A Parkinson's disease model is prepared by intraperitoneal injection of rotenone. The injection frequency is once a day, and the gavage frequency is once a day. The model treatment group (rotenone+HA1108) (10) is administered with HA1108 live bacteria at a dose of 2x10 10 CFU per day at the same time as the injection of rotenone. The model group (rotenone) (10) is administered with the same dose of PBS buffer solution at the same time as the injection of rotenone. The control group (10) is injected / gavaged with the same dose of PBS buffer solution every day. The total experimental period is 6 weeks. The specific animal experiment design is as follows:Figure 2 Results are shown in Figure 1.
[0047] 2. Experimental results:
[0048] (1) Live L. johnsonii HA1108 gavage did not affect the body weight of mice
[0049] To evaluate the effect of live L. johnsonii HA1108 bacterial agent on the body weight of mice, the body weight was weighed every day during gavage, and the body weight was calculated every week. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 Compared with the control group, the body weight of mice in the rotenone group decreased, and live L. johnsonii HA1108 gavage had no significant effect on the body weight of mice.
[0050] Table 1 Body weight of mice in each group (unit: g)
[0051]
[0052] (2) Live L. johnsonii HA1108 gavage improved the motor dysfunction of Parkinson's disease mice
[0053] After 6 weeks of gavage, the motor function of mice was detected, and the pole climbing experiment, rotating rod experiment and open field experiment were performed, respectively.
[0054] The results of pole climbing experiment showed that live L. johnsonii HA1108 gavage could reduce the head turning time of Parkinson's disease mice on the pole ( Figure 4 ) and the time from the top to the bottom of the pole ( Figure 5 ).

[0056]
[0057] Table 3 Time of mice from the top to the bottom of the pole (unit: s)
[0058]
[0059] The results of rotating rod experiment showed that live L. johnsonii HA1108 gavage could increase the duration of Parkinson's disease mice on the rotating rod ( Figure 6 ).
[0060] Table 4 Duration of mice on the rotating rod (unit: s)
[0061]
[0062] The results of open field experiment showed that live L. johnsonii HA1108 gavage could increase the total distance of Parkinson's disease mice in the open field ( Figure 7 ).
[0063] Table 5 Total distance traveled by mice in open field (unit: cm)
[0064]
[0065] The above behavioral experiment results show that L. johnsonii HA1108 live bacteria gavage can improve the motor dysfunction of Parkinson's disease mice.
[0066] (3) L. johnsonii HA1108 live bacteria gavage reduces the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease mice
[0067] Parkinson's disease patients have a severe lack of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra compact part, and the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase decreases. By observing the changes of tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons in the substantia nigra of mice through immunofluorescence staining, green fluorescence marks tyrosine hydroxylase, and blue fluorescence marks the nucleus. L. johnsonii HA1108 live bacteria gavage significantly increased the number of tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease mice in the brain ( Figure 8 ).
[0068] Western blot results show that L. johnsonii HA1108 live bacteria gavage can significantly increase the protein expression of tyrosine hydroxylase in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease mice in the brain ( Figure 9 and Figure 10 ).

[0072]
[0073] Table 8 Protein level of tyrosine hydroxylase / β-actin in the substantia nigra of mice in the brain
[0074]
[0075] In summary, in combination with the above experimental verification, the L. johnsonii HA1108 screened by the application can treat or prevent or relieve Parkinson's disease, can improve motor dysfunction including Parkinson's disease model, can achieve alleviation of loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain, increase protein expression of tyrosine hydroxylase in the substantia nigra of the brain, and the bacterial agent prepared from the L. johnsonii HA1108 does not affect body weight when consumed for a long time, thus providing a new choice for Parkinson's disease patients in the early stage with gastrointestinal symptoms (including constipation, delayed gastric emptying, slowed intestinal peristalsis, etc.).
[0076] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents for ordinary skilled persons in the art; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by the present application.
