Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a maintenance solution for culturing influenza virus, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The research and development, and production of influenza virus vaccines and antiviral drugs, are highly dependent on the efficient and stable amplification of viruses in in vitro cell culture systems. Among these factors, the cell maintenance medium used during viral infection is a key factor affecting virus yield, antigenic consistency, and process stability.

[0003] Current maintenance media for influenza virus amplification under cell culture conditions are mainly based on basal media such as DMEM, MEM, and DMEM / F-12, supplemented with certain amounts of amino acids, vitamins, salts, and complex nutrients such as peptones / extracts to maintain the host cell state during the infectious period and support viral replication. However, existing technologies generally have the following shortcomings: First, some maintenance media still rely on complex components such as serum or animal-derived proteins, which raises concerns about uncertain sources, large batch-to-batch variability, and high pressure for controlling exogenous risks; Second, cells during the infectious period are more sensitive to changes in pH, osmotic pressure, and ionic strength, while existing maintenance media lack adequate pH / osmotic pressure settings and drift control measures, which can easily lead to a decline in cell state and a shortened infection time, thereby affecting the consistency and stability of virus harvest.

[0004] Therefore, existing maintenance media for influenza virus culture still have shortcomings in terms of eliminating serum dependence, improving component clarity and quality control, and optimizing the cellular microenvironment during the infection period. There is an urgent need to provide a maintenance media for influenza virus culture and a method for preparing its key promoting components, enabling the maintenance media to stably maintain the host cell state during the infection period without serum dependence, and improving the consistency and reproducibility of virus harvesting; simultaneously, by limiting the process parameters and quality standards of the virus proliferation promoter, batch-to-batch variability can be reduced, meeting the requirements for large-scale preparation and quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention provides a maintenance solution for culturing influenza virus, its preparation method, and its application.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A maintenance medium for culturing influenza virus includes DMEM / F-12 basal medium and active ingredients; the active ingredients include amino acids, vitamins, salts, and a virus nutrient fortifier, wherein the virus nutrient fortifier includes a microbial induced culture extract; Currently, maintenance media for influenza virus culture generally rely on serum or complex animal and plant hydrolysates. The specific active components for promoting viral growth are unclear, and there are large batch-to-batch differences, resulting in unstable viral amplification efficiency. These traditional additives mainly provide basic nutrition and cannot actively intervene in and optimize the metabolic state and antiviral defense response of cells during the special stage of viral infection.

[0007] The microbial induced culture extract added to the maintenance solution in this invention is a complex active component obtained by multi-stage induction culture, autolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis of fermentation microorganisms. This extract is not a traditional nutritional supplement, but a virus nutritional enhancer with multiple biological functions: (1) This extract can regulate the metabolic state of host cells during infection, significantly enhance the levels of sugar metabolism and lipid metabolism in cells, and provide sufficient energy and metabolic precursors for viral replication; at the same time, it promotes nucleic acid translation and protein synthesis in host cells, and directly promotes the replication of the viral genome and the assembly of structural proteins; (2) This extract can inhibit the expression of interferon-stimulated genes by affecting the interferon effector pathway, thereby reducing the inherent antiviral response of host cells and creating a more favorable intracellular environment for viral replication; in addition, it can delay the cell apoptosis process caused by viral infection, effectively prolong the time window of viral replication, and help increase the viral yield.

[0008] The microbial induced culture extract was prepared by the following method: an induction regulator was added to a liquid culture medium, and fermentation microorganisms were inoculated and cultured with shaking; glycerol, plant inducing factor extract, and osmotic protectant were added under aseptic conditions for induction culture; after the culture was completed, the fermentation microbial cells were collected, the cell bodies were resuspended in phosphate buffer, and metabolic regulators were added for autolysis at 40-50℃; after adding glucoamylase for further autolysis, the enzyme was inactivated, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation, and then concentrated and dried to obtain the extract. The fermentation microorganism is any one of Yersinia lipolytica, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or Bacillus subtilis.

[0009] The induction regulator is a mixture of L-tyrosine and tartaric acid.

[0010] The plant-inducing factor extract is obtained by enzymatic extraction from American ginseng, Polygonum cuspidatum, and Phellodendron amurense.

[0011] The metabolic regulator is at least one of compound A and N-acetylcysteine; preferably, the metabolic regulator is a mixture of compound A and N-acetylcysteine, wherein the final concentration of compound A in the system is 0.10-0.50 mg / L and the final concentration of N-acetylcysteine ​​in the system is 100-800 mg / L.

[0012] Compound A (trigulin A), as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, remodels Bacillus subtilis metabolites through epigenetic regulation, endowing the extract with the potential to activate host cell anabolic metabolism. N-acetylcysteine, as an antioxidant, protects the active ingredients and maintains cellular redox homeostasis. The combination of these two compounds forms a synergistic system of activation and protection, enabling the final extract to simultaneously enhance cellular metabolism, inhibit antiviral responses, and delay apoptosis, thereby optimizing the viral replication microenvironment and increasing viral yield.

[0013] During the induction culture stage of the fermentation microorganisms, the compound extracts of American ginseng, Polygonum cuspidatum, and Phellodendron amurense exhibit synergistic effects as exogenous metabolic regulatory signals. The active ingredients of these three plants collectively constitute a multi-target microbial metabolic pathway reprogramming induction system. They synergistically intervene in the metabolism of the fermentation microorganisms, not by directly providing nutrients, but by guiding a directional shift in their biosynthetic direction, thereby promoting the accumulation of a series of specific active substances in the microbial cells that can subsequently regulate host cell function: functional peptides, enzymes, and signaling molecules. When the microbial induced culture extract prepared by this method is applied to virus maintenance solutions, its active ingredients indirectly enhance host cell metabolism, inhibit innate immune responses, and delay apoptosis, thus creating a highly optimized intracellular environment for influenza virus replication and significantly improving virus yield and process stability.

[0014] Preferably, the preparation method of the plant inducing factor extract is as follows: 10-20 parts by weight of American ginseng, 7-14 parts by weight of Polygonum cuspidatum, and 7-10 parts by weight of Phellodendron chinense are washed, chopped to about 0.3-1 cm, and 0.05-0.2 wt% ascorbic acid is added.

[0015] The ultracentrifugation precipitate is an enriched high molecular weight active component, such as polysaccharide-protein complexes / vesicle-like particles, which are more likely to induce the metabolism of fermenting bacteria than small molecule impurities in the supernatant; therefore, this invention selects to collect the precipitate and resuspend and freeze-dry it as a plant inducing factor extract.

[0020] Preferably, the permeation protectant is any one of glycine betaine, glycine betaine derivatives, choline, and carnitine.

[0021] Preferably, the pH of the maintenance solution is 7.0-7.4 and the osmotic pressure is 280-350 mOsm / kg.

[0022] A method for preparing a maintenance solution for culturing influenza virus includes the following steps: (1) Prepare each active ingredient separately and filter to remove bacteria; (2) Calculate and measure the amount of each substance to be added based on the final concentration; (3) Preheat the DMEM / F-12 basic culture medium, add each active ingredient in sequence under aseptic conditions, and mix well; (4) Adjust the pH of the maintenance solution to 7.0-7.4, and the osmotic pressure to 280-350 mOsm / kg; (5) Perform terminal sterilization filtration, and then repackage and store.

The core active components in the formula, such as the production strains and plant inducing factors, can be equivalently replaced according to actual conditions, provided that the established quality standards are met.

[0056] Test Example 1 Virus titer test: The experimental group used the maintenance medium for culturing influenza virus as described in this invention, while the control group used the control culture medium (containing 2% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin and streptomycin antibiotics, and 97% DMEM).

[0057] Cell lines and virus strains: canine kidney cells MDCK-v (Madin Darby Canine Kidney Cells, accession number: CCTCCNO:C2024173), influenza A virus strain H1N1 type IVR-215.

[0058] Experimental Methods: The MDCK cell culture conditions described are those commonly used in the field. During viral infection, the MOI is 0.001-0.1, and the medium is replaced with the appropriate maintenance medium after 30-60 min of adsorption. The maintenance medium may further contain 0.5-5 μg / mL TPCK-trypsin to promote HA lysis. Samples are taken every 24 h… TCID50 is calculated using the Reed-Muench method. Preferred culture conditions: seeding density of 5 × 10⁵ cells / ml, 37℃, dissolved oxygen (DO) of 50%, compressed air, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are introduced at a ratio of 70%, 20%, 5%, and 5% respectively, with an aeration rate of 1.0 and a rotation speed of 110 rpm. When MDCK cells grow to 10⁻¹² × 10⁵ cells / ml… 6 At a concentration of cells / mL, influenza A virus strain H1N1 was inoculated. The control group used control culture medium, while the experimental group used the maintenance medium for culturing influenza virus described in the examples and comparative examples of this invention to maintain virus proliferation. The virus titers of the maintenance medium for culturing influenza virus described in this invention and the control group culture medium were tested. Each group was tested 4 times, and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0059] Table 1. Influenza virus titer test results (Log10(CID50) / 100μl) Test Example 2 CCK-8 assay to detect the effect of maintenance medium used for influenza virus culture on cell viability Experimental Procedure: MDCK cell suspension was washed with preheated α-MEM basal medium and collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were gently resuspended in the maintenance solutions prepared in the examples and comparative studies, respectively. Viable cell counts were then performed (trypan blue staining). The cell concentration of all groups was uniformly adjusted to 4.0 × 10⁻⁶. 4 cells / mL. Add 100 μL of cell suspension (i.e., 4.0 × 10⁶ cells / mL) to each well of a 96-well plate. 3 (cells / well). Wells containing only maintenance medium and no cells were set up as blank controls.

[0060] The inoculated 96-well plates were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. This incubation period was designed to simulate the pre-infection and early infection stages of the virus, evaluating the sustained support of different maintenance media for basal cell viability and metabolic activity. After incubation, 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent was precisely added to each well, and incubation continued for 2 hours. The absorbance (OD value) of each well was measured using a microplate reader at 450 nm. Relative cell viability was calculated using the following formula: Relative cell viability (%) = (OD value / OD value) 样品组 -OD 空白组 ) / (OD 实施例1组 -OD 空白组() × 100%; where, the cell viability of the group in Example 1 was used as a 100% baseline for normalization, and the results were expressed as the difference rate of proliferation / survival. Each group was tested 4 times and the average value was taken, as shown in Table 2.

[0061] Table 2. Differential rate of cell proliferation The results above show that the maintenance solution for culturing influenza virus prepared in this invention has the effect of promoting influenza virus proliferation. The specific reasons are as follows: In Example 1, the virus titer reached 9.3 Log TCID after 96 hours. 50 At a concentration of 100 μl, the relative cell activity was 100%, significantly superior to all comparative examples. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 showed a sharp decrease in both virus titer and cell activity, indicating that the microbial induced culture extract prepared in this invention acts as a maintenance solution to enhance cell metabolism, inhibit antiviral responses, and delay apoptosis. The differences in effects between Example 1 (using *Yersinia lipolytica*), Example 2 (using *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*), and Example 3 (using *Bacillus subtilis*) suggest that *Yersinia lipolytica*, due to its superior lipid metabolism and synthesis capabilities, produces an extract that, after induction and autolysis, is more advantageous in optimizing the host cell lipid environment and supporting influenza virus envelope synthesis. Comparative Example 2 (without added metabolic regulators) and Comparative Example 3 (without added plant inducing factors) showed significantly lower virus titers and cell activity than Example 1, demonstrating that both are essential for achieving optimal results. Plant inducing factors act as multi-target metabolic programming signals during the fermentation induction stage, guiding the synthesis of specific active substances by the cells; while metabolic regulators, through the synergistic effect of epigenetic activation and redox homeostasis maintenance during the autolysis stage, deeply optimize the activity spectrum of the extract. Examples 4-5, using only a single metabolic regulator, were less effective than Example 1, which used a combination of both, further confirming the synergistic effect of the combined system. Comparative Examples 4 and 5, while slightly better than Comparative Example 2 (which completely lacked the regulator) when using the common protease trypsin instead of compound A, were far less effective than Example 1, which used compound A. This demonstrates that compound A, as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, has a unique mechanism for epigenetic remodeling of microbial metabolites.
