Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to bacteria or their pharmaceutical uses. Background Technology
[0002] While immune checkpoint inhibitors (such as PD-1 / PD-L1 antibodies) have shown breakthrough efficacy in cancer treatment, their objective response rate as monotherapy is generally below 40%, especially in solid tumors such as colorectal cancer, where severe primary and secondary resistance issues exist. Although combination chemotherapy and other strategies can improve efficacy to some extent, they are often accompanied by increased toxicity, and there is an urgent clinical need to develop highly effective and low-toxicity sensitization regimens.
[0003] In recent years, utilizing gut microbiota to modulate the efficacy of immunotherapy has been considered an important direction, and studies have shown that certain probiotics (such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium) have certain immunomodulatory potential. However, existing technologies have significant shortcomings: First, the mechanisms of action of these probiotics are not clearly understood, mostly focusing on enhancing innate immunity or regulating intestinal barrier functions, lacking evidence of specific activation of CD8+ T cells; second, most existing studies remain at the preclinical animal model stage, lacking direct verification of the microbiota-immunity correlation in patients, leading to doubts about their clinical translational value; finally, the synergistic effect of current probiotics combined with PD-1 antibodies is not ideal, making it difficult to effectively address the problem of immunotherapy resistance.

[0104] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention in any way. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of this disclosure. Such structures and techniques have also been described in many publications.
[0105] definition
[0106] In this article, "solid tumor" refers to a tumor that can be detected as a tangible mass through X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound, or palpation. It is distinguished from non-solid tumors such as leukemia and is divided into malignant and benign types. Malignant solid tumors include, but are not limited to, subtypes such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and nephroblastoma, while benign tumors encompass types such as lymphangioma and hemangioma.
[0107] In this article, "non-solid tumors" refer to tumors originating from non-solid tissues such as blood, lymphatic system, or bone marrow. Unlike solid tumors (such as lung cancer and breast cancer), their cells are usually dispersed throughout the body, making it difficult to directly observe the mass through imaging. These mainly include types such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, which require blood, bone marrow, or tissue biopsies for diagnosis.
[0108] Example
[0109] Unless otherwise stated, the present invention will be carried out using conventional techniques of cell biology, cell culture, molecular biology, and laboratory animal science, techniques described in the literature or performed in accordance with product instructions. For example, see J. Sambrook's *Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual* (4th edition, Science Press). Unless otherwise specified, the materials, reagents, or instruments used in the examples are all commercially available conventional products, and other equivalents may be used.
[0110] The function of *Allobaculum stercoricanis*, a gut commensal bacterium, in tumor immune regulation remains completely unknown, and related research is currently lacking. However, the embodiments of this application are based on a key clinical finding: in a cohort of colorectal cancer patients, the relative abundance of *Allobaculum stercoricanis* in fecal samples showed a significant positive correlation with the level of IFN-γ produced by tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. This finding not only fills the gap in functional research on this strain but also provides a novel approach to addressing the aforementioned technical deficiencies.
[0111] Based on this, the purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, specifically including: (1) providing a novel microbial preparation with a clear mechanism that can specifically activate CD8+ T cells; (2) establishing an immunotherapy sensitization regimen based on Ischemicum fecalis to effectively improve the efficacy of PD-1 antibody; (3) developing a microbial immune adjuvant supported by clinically relevant evidence to provide a new solution to the problem of immunotherapy resistance.
[0112] This application's embodiments reveal for the first time that the relative abundance of *Allobaculum stercoricanis* in the gut of clinical colorectal cancer patients is significantly positively correlated with the activity status of CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment (marked by IFN-γ expression). This crucial clinical finding directly suggests the potential of this strain to activate anti-tumor immunity in humans. Based on this, the core concept of this invention is to develop *Allobaculum stercoricanis* or its culture and active ingredients into a microbial preparation capable of specifically activating CD8+ T cells, used alone or in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (such as PD-1 / PD-L1 antibodies) for the prevention and / or treatment of tumors, thereby addressing the problem of low response rates in existing immunotherapies.
[0113] The embodiments of this application demonstrate the anti-tumor application potential of Ibacillus faecalis through the following experimental data:
[0114] Clinical relevance findings: We collected tumor tissue and stool samples from colorectal cancer patients. The content of *Allobaculum stercoricanis* in the stool samples was detected by qPCR, and the level of IFN-γ production in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells was detected by flow cytometry. Analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the relative abundance of *Allobaculum stercoricanis* in patients and the IFN-γ expression level of CD8+ T cells within the tumor. This data strongly demonstrates that the colonization level of *Allobaculum stercoricanis* in the human body is closely related to the intensity of local anti-tumor immunity, providing direct clinical evidence for its role as an immunomodulator.
[0115] Preclinical Functional Validation: Based on the above clinical findings, we conducted functional validation in a mouse MC38 colorectal cancer model. Tumor-bearing mice were administered live *Isobacterium faecalis* solution (1 × 10^9 CFU / mouse) daily by gavage, with a PBS control group provided. After the tumors reached their growth endpoint, the mice were sacrificed to analyze the tumor immune microenvironment. Flow cytometry results showed that, compared with the control group, the expression levels of IFN-γ and Ki67 infiltrating CD8+ T cells in the tumor tissue of mice in the *Isobacterium faecalis* gavage group were significantly upregulated. This indicates that supplementation with *Isobacterium faecalis* can effectively promote the activation and proliferation of CD8+ T cells.
[0116] Synergistic Effect Validation: To explore its potential for combination with existing immunotherapies, we established four experimental groups: a PBS control group, a PD-1 antibody monotherapy group (dose of 100 μg), a *Isobacterium fecalithii* monotherapy group, and a *Isobacterium fecalithii* and PD-1 antibody combination group. After treatment, the combination therapy group showed the strongest tumor growth inhibition effect, with tumor volume and weight significantly lower than any single-drug therapy group.

[0126] (2) Combined administration (Ibacillus fecalis + PD-1 antibody)
[0127] ① PD-1 antibody administration regimen: dosage (100 μg), route of administration (in this example, intraperitoneal injection), frequency of administration (in this example, once every 2 days), and sequence of administration (starting after gavage administration of Ibacillus faecalis; in this example, the strain is given for 2 days before PD-1 antibody is added).
[0128] 3. Experimental Model and Detection Method
[0129] (1) Tumor model
[0130] ① Experimental animals: mouse strain (C57BL / 6), age (e.g., 6-8 weeks), male; ② Tumor cell line: type of tumor cells inoculated (melanoma B16F10, colorectal cancer MC38); ③ Modeling method: subcutaneous inoculation.
[0131] (2) Clinical sample testing
[0132] Study subjects: 20 patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer (CRC) (fresh tumor tissue + stool sample after surgery). Detection indicators:
[0133] ① Relative abundance of fecal isobacteria: qPCR technology was used.
[0134] The primer sequences are shown in the table below:
[0135] Table 1
[0136] F GGGACACTCTGGACGAGGAT (SEQ ID NO: 1) R TCCGTTGGACAGCTCGGATA (SEQ ID NO: 2)
[0137] Quantitative detection.
[0138] ② IFN-γ level of CD8+ T cells in tumor tissue: The ratio of IFN-γ+ / CD8+ cells in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was detected by flow cytometry.
[0139] Analysis method: Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the association between the abundance of Ischemic fecal bacteria and the IFN-γ+ / CD8+ ratio.
[0140] (3) Detection indicators and methods
[0141] Tumor growth monitoring: The long and short diameters of the tumor are measured every 2 days, the tumor area is calculated (formula: area = length × width), and growth curves of different tumor models are plotted.
[0142] Immune cell activation detection: Flow cytometry was used to detect activation markers of CD8+ T cells in mouse spleen / tumor tissues—Ki-67 (proliferation index) and IFN-γ (cytokine), and the proportions of Ki-67+ / CD8+ cells and IFN-γ+ / CD8+ cells were statistically analyzed.
[0143] Figure 1 The results of a correlation analysis (sample size n=20) between the abundance of Allobaculum stercoricanis in fecal samples from colorectal cancer patients and the proportion of tumor-infiltrating interferon-γ producing CD8⁺ T cells.
[0144] Figure 2 In this study, C57BL / 6 wild-type (WT) mice were treated daily by gavage with antibiotics (ABX: neomycin (1 g / L), ampicillin (1 g / L), metronidazole (1 g / L), and vancomycin (0.5 g / L). On day 7, MC38 colon cancer cells were subcutaneously injected into the mice. Starting from day 3 after tumor cell injection, the mice were administered a 1×10⁻⁶ concentration via gavage. 9 CFU of Allobaculum stercoricanis was administered once every 2 days to observe tumor growth in mice under these conditions (sample size n=10).
[0145] Figure 3 To Figure 2 C57BL / 6 wild-type (WT) mice with MC38 tumors were used to extract CD8+ from tumor tissue on day 16 after tumor cell injection. + Flow cytometry analysis of Ki-67 (n=5) and IFN-γ (n=6) expression levels in T cells.
[0146] Figure 4C57BL / 6 wild-type (WT) mice were administered antibiotics (ABX) via gavage on day 7, followed by subcutaneous injection (sc) of B16-F10 melanoma cells. Starting from day 7 post-injection, the mice were gavage every two days at a concentration of 1×10⁻⁶ cells. 9 The mice were treated with colony-forming units (CFU) of *Ischemic fecal microbes*, and simultaneously injected intraperitoneally every 2 days with 100 μg of anti-PD-1 antibody (α-PD-1) or control antibody (IgG) starting from day 9 after tumor cell injection. The antibody was administered for a total of 4 times. This is the tumor growth of mice under this combined treatment condition (sample size n=10).
[0147] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the relative abundance of fecal isobacillus in patients is related to the intratumoral CD8+. + The expression level of IFN-γ in T cells was significantly positively correlated.
[0148] from Figure 2 It is evident that gavage with Ibacillus fecalith can inhibit the growth of MC38 subcutaneous tumors.
[0149] from Figure 3 As can be seen, compared with the control group, the expression levels of IFN-γ and Ki67 in CD8+ T cells infiltrating tumor tissue of mice in the Ibacillus fecalis gavage group were significantly upregulated. This indicates that supplementation with Ibacillus fecalis can effectively promote the activation and proliferation of CD8+ T cells.
[0150] from Figure 4 It is evident that gavage with Ibacillus fecalis can enhance the antitumor efficacy of PD-1 antibodies.
[0151] The embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects:
[0152] Solid clinical data support: Unlike most microbial anti-tumor studies based on pure animal experiments, the embodiments of this application first discovered a positive correlation between the abundance of Ischemicum faecalis and the intensity of anti-tumor immunity in patients, providing direct and strong human evidence for the clinical application value of this bacterium, and significantly enhancing the credibility and translational potential of the invention.
[0153] The mechanism is clear and the targeting is strong: The embodiments of this application not only demonstrate the anti-tumor effect of the bacterium, but also clarify that its mechanism of action is closely related to the core of specific activation of anti-tumor immunity (CD8+ T cells), and exerts its function by promoting the production of effector molecules such as IFN-γ. The mechanism is clear and the targeting is well-defined.
[0154] Broad applicability: Based on the core mechanism of CD8+ T cell activation (which is applicable to various solid tumors such as colorectal cancer and melanoma), combined with relevant evidence from clinical samples, this bacterium can be applied to a variety of solid tumors, breaking through the tumor type limitations of existing strains.
[0155] Significant synergistic effect: When used in combination with PD-1 antibody, this bacterial agent showed a significant synergistic anti-tumor effect in animal models, which was significantly better than monotherapy. This provides a new and safe combination strategy to solve the clinical problem of PD-1 inhibitor resistance or poor response.
[0156] High safety and ease of use: As an intestinal symbiotic, *Isobacterium fecalith* is expected to have a high safety profile when administered orally. Developing it into an oral probiotic preparation would result in good patient compliance, convenient use, and low cost.
[0157] This application's embodiments reveal for the first time the positive correlation between Ibacillus faecalis and anti-tumor immunity (CD8+ T cell activity) in cancer patients, and verify its function of activating CD8+ T cells to exert anti-tumor effects and synergistically enhance the efficacy of PD-1 antibodies.
[0158] In some embodiments, the strains used are not limited to wild-type Isobacillus fecalis, but also include derivative strains that have been genetically engineered to enhance immune activation.
[0159] In some embodiments, the form of administration is not limited to live bacteria, but includes inactivated bacterial cells, bacterial lysates, fermentation supernatants, extracted active ingredients (such as cell wall components, metabolites), etc.
[0160] In some embodiments, the route of administration is not limited to oral gavage, but includes any form that enables the bacteria or its active ingredients to reach the intestine and exert their effects, such as enteric-coated capsules, tablets, powders, etc.
[0161] In some embodiments, the combined treatment may include, but is not limited to, PD-1 / PD-L1 antibodies, and may also extend to other immune checkpoint inhibitors (such as CTLA-4 antibodies), cancer vaccines, adoptive cell therapy, or chemotherapy / radiotherapy.
[0162] The technical solutions of the present invention are not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any technical modifications made in accordance with the technical solutions of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
