Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vitamin B12 technology, and more particularly to the uses of vitamin B12. Background Technology

[0002] Glucose metabolism provides a large amount of ATP for cellular life activities through coupled glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Excess glucose in the body is mainly stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, with a small amount stored in brain tissue. Glucose and glycogen are interconverted through glycogenogenesis and glycogenolysis, respectively, thus playing a role in stabilizing blood sugar and meeting normal cellular energy needs. Disorders of glucose metabolism are associated with a variety of human diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and glycogen storage diseases.

[0003] Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of metabolic disorders caused by single-gene defects, resulting from biochemical deficiencies in different metabolic steps of glycogen production, glycogenolysis, or glycolysis. They can occur at a wide age, from newborns to adults. Affected organs include the liver, muscles, kidneys, and nervous system. Typical symptoms include hypoglycemia, exercise intolerance, growth retardation, confusion, and hepatomegaly. Based on the different genes affected and their expression in different tissues, at least 15 types of GSDs (some of which contain multiple subtypes) have been identified clinically, as well as several atypical GSDs (such as Fanconi–Bickel syndrome, PGK deficiency, and Lafora disease). Currently, there is no effective treatment for any type of GSD. Clinical care primarily involves dietary management for patients with GSDs. In liver-related glycogen storage diseases, metabolic imbalances are generally prevented by providing adequate nutrition (such as managing the frequency, amount, and type of food). In some types of glycogen storage diseases, corn starch and high-protein diets can be used to provide energy. While dietary management can alleviate glycogen storage disease symptoms to some extent, the strict requirements on food frequency and type severely impact patients' quality of life. Furthermore, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been used for type II glycogen storage disease. Some patients with severe glycogen storage disease may require liver transplantation or other organ transplantation. However, enzyme replacement therapy or organ transplantation imposes a significant financial burden on patients. Summary of the Invention

[0030] In some embodiments, the daily dosage of vitamin B12 is 2 × 10⁻⁶. -3 The daily dose of N-acetylcysteine ​​is 0.01 mmol.

[0031] Thirdly, some embodiments of the present invention also provide a medicament for treating glycogen storage disease, said medicament being made of vitamin B12 and N-acetylcysteine.

[0032] In some embodiments, the drug dosage form is an injection, tablet, capsule, dispersant, rapidly disintegrating formulation, effervescent tablet, ointment, gel, or transdermal sustained-release formulation.

[0033] In some embodiments, the vitamin B12 is replaced by a vitamin B12 derivative, a vitamin B12-producing precursor, a vitamin B12-rich probiotic, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of vitamin B12.

[0034] In some embodiments, the glycogen storage diseases include GSD type 0 glycogen storage disease, GSD type 1 glycogen storage disease, GSD type 2 glycogen storage disease, GSD type 3 glycogen storage disease, GSD type 4 glycogen storage disease, GSD type 5 glycogen storage disease, GSD type 6 glycogen storage disease, GSD type 7 glycogen storage disease, GSD type IX glycogen storage disease, GSD type X glycogen storage disease, GSD type XI glycogen storage disease, GSD type XII glycogen storage disease, GSD type XIII glycogen storage disease, GSD type XIV glycogen storage disease, GSD type XV glycogen storage disease, Fanconi-Bicker syndrome, PGK deficiency, and Lafra disease.

[0035] Results and Analysis: Table 1. Glycogen metabolism-related genes and corresponding types of glycogen storage disease (GSD)

[0036] In this invention, Caenorhabditis elegans was used for experiments and verification. The biochemical processes related to glycogen metabolism and the metabolic enzymes involved are highly conserved in humans and Caenorhabditis elegans (as shown in Table 1).

[0037] Glycogen metabolism includes glycogen synthesis, glycogenolysis, and glycolysis. Therefore, we selected four nematode models representing metabolic mutations related to glycogen synthesis (GSD 0), glycogenolysis (GSD III and GSD IX), and glycolysis (GSD VII) to investigate and identify the therapeutic effect of vitamin B12 on glycogen storage diseases. Figure 1 As shown in (a), feeding wild-type (WT) *C. elegans* with the standard bacterium OP50 E. coli (which does not contain vitamin B12) produced approximately 200 offspring. Feeding *C. elegans* from the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX with the standard bacterium OP50 E. coli resulted in embryonic development termination and no offspring were produced. Feeding wild-type (WT) *C. elegans* and *C. elegans* from the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX with the standard bacterium K-12 or HT115 (which contains vitamin B12) resulted in normal embryonic development and more than 200 offspring.

[0038] Based on this, vitamin B6 was further used as a negative control group, such as Figure 1 As shown in (b), wild-type *C. elegans* was fed with the standard bacterium OP50E. coli as the control group (WT). Wild-type (WT) *C. elegans* and *C. elegans* from the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX were fed with either the standard bacterium OP50E. coli or vitamin B6, or the standard bacterium OP50E. coli or vitamin B12. The results showed that *C. elegans* embryos in the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX, fed with OP50E. coli alone or with vitamin B6, still exhibited abnormal embryonic development and failed to produce offspring. However, when fed with vitamin B12, the embryos of *C. elegans* in the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX developed normally and produced more than 250 offspring. This further validated the role of vitamin B12 in the treatment of glycogen storage disease.

[0039] To further verify whether vitamin B12 has an inhibitory effect on other types of glycogen storage disease, the glycogen metabolism process was divided into three stages, and glycogen storage disease models of *C. elegans* were established for glycogen synthesis (GSD 0), glycogenolysis (GSD III), and glycolysis (GSD VII), respectively. Then, the standard bacterium OP50 *E. coli*, alone or co-administered with vitamin B12, was used to feed the patients to represent the glycogen storage disease models of glycogen synthesis (GSD 0), glycogenolysis (GSD III), and glycolysis (GSD VII). The results are as follows: Figure 1 (c) shows that vitamin B12 supplementation significantly inhibited the relevant phenotypes in all three glycogen storage disease models, suggesting that vitamin B12 could be a potential treatment for all types of glycogen storage disease.

[0040] Furthermore, the effective vitamin concentration range for inhibiting glycogen storage disease was explored, such as... Figure 1 As shown in (d), during the study, all patients were fed the same volume (200 μL) of vitamin B12 at different concentrations. The results showed that 10 nM vitamin B12 partially inhibited the relevant phenotype, while 500 nM maximally inhibited it, and 1000 nM vitamin B12 did not further enhance the inhibitory effect. Further preferred formulations included a vitamin B12 concentration of 10 nM–1000 nM and a daily dosage of 2 × 10⁻⁶ molar amounts of vitamin B12. - 3 nmol-0.2 nmol. Further preferred, the concentration of vitamin B12 is 100 nM-500 nM, and the daily dosage of vitamin B12 is 2 × 10⁻⁶ molars. -2 nmol-0.1nmol.

[0041] Genetic pathway studies have revealed that vitamin B12 inhibits the glycogen storage disease-related phenotype through the propionate pathway, rather than the methionine cycle pathway. Figure 2 As shown. In Figure 2 In (a), after knocking out the propionate degradation pathway gene (pcca-1 or mce-1), feeding the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX Caenorhabditis elegans with standard bacteria OP50 E. coli and vitamin B12 resulted in abnormal embryo development and fewer offspring. However, knocking out only the methionine cycle pathway gene (metr-1) suppressed the glycogen storage disease GSD IX phenotype even without vitamin B12 supplementation. Further analysis showed that the suppression of glycogen storage disease was achieved by upregulating the related propionate degradation pathway (acdh-1). Therefore, vitamin B12 inhibits glycogen storage disease by regulating the propionate degradation pathway.

[0042] Glucose is the primary source of energy for cellular production, and in the human body, it is mainly stored in cells as glycogen. The process of glycogen degradation into glucose, and the production of ATP from glucose, is partly completed within the mitochondria. When mitochondria are damaged, leading to functional defects, their ability to synthesize ATP is inhibited. This not only results in lower ATP levels but also increases mitochondrial stress (Phsp-6::gfp), thus affecting glucose metabolism.

[0043] exist Figure 3 In (a), feeding *C. elegans* of the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX with the standard bacterium OP50 *E. coli* resulted in impaired mitochondrial function and reduced ATP synthesis. Feeding *C. elegans* of the glycogen storage disease model GSD IX with the standard bacterium OP50 *E. coli* and vitamin B12 resulted in increased ATP levels in the *C. elegans* of the GSD IX model. Figure 3 (b) It was found that feeding *C. elegans*, a glycogen storage disease model of GSD IX, with the standard bacterium OP50 E. coli increased mitochondrial stress, while feeding *C. elegans* with both the standard bacterium OP50 E. coli and vitamin B12 decreased mitochondrial stress. The study found that propionyl-CoA accumulation inhibits the tricarboxylic acid cycle in mitochondria, leading to impaired mitochondrial function. Propionate generates propionyl-CoA, which in turn generates succinyl-CoA via the vitamin B12-related pathway. Therefore, vitamin B12 promotes the degradation of propionate and propionyl-CoA, thereby reducing the damage of propionyl-CoA to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and mitochondrial function.

[0044] exist Figure 3 In (c), during the study, the subjects were fed 200 μL of 10 nM vitamin B12 and 200 μL of 50 mM N-acetylcysteine. The results showed that when *C. elegans*, a glycogen storage disease model of GSD IX, was co-fed with the standard bacterium OP50 *E. coli* and N-acetylcysteine, the embryos developed normally, producing approximately 100 offspring. This indicates that N-acetylcysteine ​​can protect mitochondria, thereby reducing propionyl-CoA damage to mitochondria and thus partially inhibiting glycogen storage disease. Furthermore, when 50 mM N-acetylcysteine ​​and 10 nM vitamin B12 were used together, glycogen storage disease was completely inhibited, significantly reducing the amount of vitamin B12 required. Figure 3As shown in (d), the combined action of 50 mM N-acetylcysteine ​​and 10 nM vitamin B12 can reduce mitochondrial stress. Therefore, the combined action of vitamin B12 and N-acetylcysteine ​​can inhibit all forms of glycogen storage disease while protecting mitochondria. Thus, further optimization is achieved with 50 mM N-acetylcysteine ​​and 10 nM vitamin B12, with a daily dose of vitamin B12 of 2 × 10⁻⁶ molar amounts. -3 The daily dose of N-acetylcysteine ​​is 0.01 mmol.
