Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical engineering, and in particular relates to a pH-responsive active bacterial raft, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a esophageal mucosal injury caused by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents. The pathogenesis of GERD involves the interaction of multiple factors, including hypersecretion of gastric acid (HCl) and dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter. Among these, lower esophageal sphincter failure and gastric reflux are the core factors triggering mucosal damage. Therefore, regulating gastric pH is of significant clinical importance in the management of GERD.
[0003] Currently, various strategies have been developed to regulate gastric pH, including neutralizing gastric acid and inhibiting gastric acid secretion. Weakly basic acid neutralizers, such as magnesium aluminum hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate, temporarily adjust pH through acid-base neutralization, but cannot achieve long-term control. Clinically, the gold standard for regulating gastric pH is proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole. However, long-term inhibition of gastric acid can disrupt the overall acidic environment of the stomach, leading to adverse effects such as bacterial overgrowth and elevated gastrin levels. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop local pH regulation strategies that do not interfere with the inherent acidic ecological balance of the stomach.
[0004] Urease possesses a unique enzymatic reaction that can continuously decompose urea into ammonia (N2). ) and carbon dioxide (C ), generated N It can effectively neutralize surrounding hydrogen protons ( This provides a potential means of regulating the local gastric pH. Currently, probiotics such as *Streptococcus thermophilus* and *Lactobacillus reuteri* have been developed that can produce acid-resistant urease and utilize a self-regulating feedback mechanism to stop the enzymatic reaction when the surrounding pH approaches neutral, demonstrating a dynamic response. The concept of conversion. Genetic engineering can optimize the codons and modify the molecular structure of acid urease genes, thereby achieving high levels of heterologous expression and significantly improving the enzyme's activity and stability. However, establishing a dynamic model based on acid urease... Significant challenges remain in the conversion system, ensuring its stable function in the complex gastric environment, and limiting its pH-regulating effects to localized areas.

[0022] In this invention, *Lactococcus lactis* is added dropwise to the obtained mixed solution, followed by a second stirring to obtain a bacterial-sodium alginate mixed system.

[0027] The technical solutions provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Sodium alginate (80-120 degrees of polymerization) is from Fujifilm and Koichi Chemical Co., Ltd. Calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, hydrochloric acid, and urea are from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Company. Anhydrous calcium chloride is from Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.
[0030] D Preparation of the CES system: First, prepare a 2% (mass / volume) sodium alginate solution. Dissolve sodium alginate in deionized water overnight with magnetic stirring until completely dissolved. Accurately weigh 45.8 mg of calcium carbonate and 97.3 mg of sodium bicarbonate, and mix them with 5 mL of the 2% sodium alginate solution. Stir the mixture continuously with magnetic stirring for 1 h to obtain a homogeneous solution with a molar ratio of 1:2.5:1. Subsequently, add dropwise 500 μL of bacterial suspension (bacterial suspension diluted 100 times, OD...) 600 The concentration was set at 1.0 ± 0.05. The mixture was then stirred continuously for 1 hour to ensure uniform dispersion of the bacterial suspension, thus forming a stable bacterial-sodium alginate mixture. This system was then loaded into a 5 mL microsyringe, which was attached to an injection pump and connected to an electrospinning device. High-voltage electrostatic injection was performed using a 25G needle, injecting the mixture into the crosslinking system at an injection rate of 24.0 mL / h and a voltage of 0 kV. The crosslinking system consisted of a 15.0 g / L calcium chloride solution and a pH 1.0 hydrochloric acid solution in a volume ratio of 1:4. After observing the formation of bacterial-alginate rafts accompanied by a large number of bubbles, the mixture was allowed to stand for 1 minute, and then quickly removed to obtain D containing CaCO3. -CES system (i.e., pH-responsive active bacterial raft).
[0031] Comparative Example 1
[0032] ① Prepare a 2% sodium alginate solution by dissolving it in deionized water and stirring until completely dissolved. Accurately weigh 45.8 mg of calcium carbonate and add it to 5 mL of the 2% sodium alginate solution, stirring for 1 hour to form a homogeneous solution with a molar ratio of 1:0:1. To facilitate observation of bubble formation, no bacterial suspension was added. The system was then loaded into a 5 mL syringe, attached to a syringe pump, and connected to an electrospinning device. High-voltage electrostatic injection was performed using a 25G needle, injecting the solution into the crosslinking system at a rate of 24.0 mL / h and a voltage of 0 kV. The crosslinking system consisted of a 15.0 g / L calcium chloride solution and a pH 1.0 hydrochloric acid solution in a volume ratio of 1:4. Alginate raft formation was observed, but due to the lack of CO2-producing sodium bicarbonate, the gelation rate was faster than the bubble formation rate, resulting in no significant bubble generation.
[0033] ② Prepare a 2% sodium alginate solution and dissolve it in deionized water, stirring until completely dissolved. Accurately weigh 45.8 mg of calcium carbonate and 97.3 mg of sodium bicarbonate, place them in 5 mL of the 2% sodium alginate solution, and stir for 1 h to form a homogeneous solution with a molar ratio of 1:2.5:1. To facilitate observation of bubble formation, no bacterial suspension was added. The system was then loaded into a 5 mL syringe, attached to a syringe pump, and connected to an electrospinning device. High-voltage electrostatic injection was performed using a 25G needle, injecting the solution into the crosslinking system; the injection rate was set to 24.0 mL / h, and the voltage to 0 kV. The crosslinking system consisted of a 15.0 g / L calcium chloride solution and a pH 2.0 hydrochloric acid solution in a volume ratio of 1:4. Due to the acidity of the hydrochloric acid in the crosslinking system being 2.0, there were insufficient hydrogen protons to react with the sodium bicarbonate to produce CO2, resulting in a faster gelation rate than bubble production. Consequently, no bubble-rich alginate rafts were observed to form.
[0034] Experimental Example 1
[0035] D prepared in Example 1 Characterization of the -CES system, using scanning microscopy (MIRA4 LMH) and optical microscopy to observe D -The structure of the CES system; results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, where a represents the prepared D - The CES system can float stably in simulated gastric fluid. b shows the significant presence of air bubbles in the structure. c is a scanning microscope showing the engineered bacteria uniformly present in the porous structure. -CES system.
[0036] D - The buoyancy and physical barriers of the CES system, as shown in the following figures Figure 4 As shown, D, rich in bubble structure The CES system floated stably in SGF for up to 48 hours with a 100% buoyancy rate (a). Statistical analysis showed that the minimum bubble volume required for stable floating of the system was 0.47 mm. 3 (b). D Compared to the control group, the CES system effectively blocked the backflow of liquid with a pressure of 5 mmHg, demonstrating superior physical barrier properties (c). Compression experiments using a universal material analyzer showed that a D-type material with a diameter of 3-4 mm... -CES can withstand 56.5% deformation, approximately 0.2N of force, and 16KPa of compressive stress (d) before fracture. - The compressive strength of CES (16 kPa) far exceeds the maximum pressure in the stomach (about 10 kPa), indicating that it has sufficient strength to resist gastric peristalsis.
[0037] D -CES system Transformation process: D The CES system observed the spatial distribution of pH changes in SGF (initial pH 2.0) containing the pH-sensitive dye bromocresol green (0.1% w / v). Figure 5 (as shown in a), the system hydrolyzes urea chemical The conversion raises the pH of the solution, producing this change only in the vicinity, causing the bromocresol green in the surrounding area to change from yellow (pH < 3.8) to blue (pH > 5.4). After 30 minutes, the blue area comprised only 5.38% of the total solution volume. Figure 5 (b) indicates that the overall pH change of SGF is negligible, confirming its rapid and sustained local pH-regulating ability. Adding freshly prepared bromocresol green solution (pH 2.0) at 20, 30, and 40 min initially decreased the pH, but at D... - The rapid recovery around the CES system indicates that it is able to function under conditions of continuous gastric fluid turnover. Figure 5 (c in the text)
[0038] D - Comparison of the CES system with existing technology Gaviscon®: D -CES and Gaviscon®'s acid neutralization range is achieved through a combination of precision pH test strips and pH indicators to detect the pH level around the system.
[0039] Floating rate calculation: The bacterial-sodium alginate mixture was vertically injected from a syringe into a glass bottle containing a cross-linking agent. The floating rate was calculated by measuring the height of the cross-linking agent liquid level and the resulting D. -CES is the ratio of the time required for it to float from the bottom of the container to the highest point of the liquid surface; if it does not float, then it is 0. Floating stability is determined by randomly selecting 5 D particles. -CES was placed in pH 2.0 SGF to observe its buoyancy; D -CES buoyancy is measured in the bacterial-sodium alginate mixture system to D -CES calculations are based on observing the number of floaters after adding 20 drops; Gaviscon®'s flocculation rate is calculated by recording the weight of the floaters and the mass of SGF added to pH 1.0 (these two have different applications and calculation methods; commercial Gaviscon® is used for direct oral administration of the suspension, where it forms rafts in situ in the stomach, resulting in randomness, while D...) -CES is administered orally only after the rafts have stabilized.
[0040] Storage stability is compared to application stability, D - The presence of bacteria in CES slightly reduces its effectiveness compared to commercial Gaviscon®, which contains only inorganic materials and has a longer shelf life. This comparison highlights the differences between the two. Figure 6 In this context, 'a' represents the normalized result, such as acid neutralization capacity, D. -CES has better pH regulation capabilities, while Gaviscon® only uses internal calcium carbonate for temporary regulation, making it significantly inferior to D in this aspect. -CES, so Gaviscon® is 0, while D -CES is 1.
[0041] like Figure 6 As shown in a, DH + -CES exhibits superior performance in terms of acid neutralization range, floating rate, floating stability, and flocculation rate. Gaviscon® struggles to form rafts in HCl solutions at pH 2.0, and the raft formation process in the stomach requires a certain amount of time and is somewhat random, making it impossible to guarantee a 100% flocculation rate. Figure 6 (a~d) in the example. In contrast, D -CES does not depend on interaction with gastric contents, thus remaining effective over a wider pH range. Furthermore, Gaviscon®'s acid-neutralizing ability is entirely dependent on the response after oral administration; its pH-regulating function is lost once sodium bicarbonate is rapidly depleted. In contrast, D... - The CES system can maintain local pH regulation even under continuous acidic environmental challenges. Figure 6 (e, f in the text). Although after the incorporation of engineered bacteria, D -CES has slightly lower storage stability than Gaviscon®, but it can still be stored for more than 30 days at 4°C. Figure 6 g in (the middle part).
[0042] Experimental Example 2
[0043] Acute gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was modeled in rats using forestomach ligation and complete pyloric ligation (post-modeling, macroscopic observation of congestion and erosion in the lower esophagus, and epithelial damage and inflammatory cell infiltration observed on HE staining confirmed successful model establishment). The rats were then randomly divided into three groups (n=5 per group): sham surgery group (laparotomy only, no ligation), control group (modeling, no treatment), and treatment group (modeling, DH). + -CES processing). Among them, DH + -CES treatment of pH-responsive bioactive bacterial rafts prepared in Example 1, administered orally at 150 mg; oral DH + - The CES system showed a significant reduction in lesion severity, with a lesion inhibition rate of 93.95%. Figure 7 (ab in the text). Gastric reflux can trigger a cytokine-mediated inflammatory response, increasing the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the esophagus. Serum analysis showed that DH... + -CES treatment significantly downregulated the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Figure 7 (c in the text)
[0044] Immunohistochemical analysis further confirmed this result, showing that DH + - The secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) was significantly reduced in the CES group. Figure 7 The presence of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining in the control group indicated a significantly reduced inflammatory response compared to the control group. Histological evaluation, using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, revealed that the control group exhibited discontinuous esophageal epithelial layers with defects and sloughed areas, enlarged intercellular spaces, tissue edema, and significant inflammatory cell infiltration. In contrast, the DH group showed significantly reduced inflammatory response. + -CES treatment preserves the integrity of the esophageal structure, with cells arranged in an orderly manner and no obvious signs of inflammation. Figure 7 f in the middle. These research results combined indicate that DH + -CES can effectively prevent the reflux of gastric contents, relieve mucosal inflammation, and maintain the integrity of the esophageal structure.
[0045] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the pH-responsive active bacterial raft provided by the present invention is convenient and simple to manufacture, can be mass-produced, and has an adaptive triggering feedback mechanism in a dynamic environment. Compared with the prior art, this system acts as a physical-chemical barrier to regulate the local microenvironment at the gastroesophageal junction. In the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, the esophageal injury inhibition rate can reach 93.95%, showing excellent clinical translation prospects.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
