[0029] In embodiments, the present disclosure is based in part on the fact that the environment within the eye is not sterile, and that some eyes This is based on the unexpected discovery that the endothelial microbiota can be a causative factor in several eye diseases, including AMD. The application, titled "METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS F" submitted on October 26, 2018, OR ASSESSING AND TREATING INTRAOCULAR DISEASES AND DISORDERS" PCT application no. No. PCT / CN2018 / 112022 (the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety). These initial discoveries, detailed in the paper "The Microorganisms of the Bacteria," also provide insight into the role of these microorganisms, e.g., When administered live, B. megaterium: We found that the complement system can be activated in vivo in rhesus monkeys to induce drusenoid lesions. Furthermore, for example, intravitreal administration of the antibiotic vancomycin Killing or inhibiting the growth of such microorganisms results in a reduction in the number of rhesus monkeys compared to controls. The size of drusenoid lesions in retinal tissue can be reduced. See Example 9. These data and results suggest that such microorganisms, e.g., Bacillus megaterium, Agents that can kill or inhibit the growth of erythrocytes are useful in treating age-related macular degeneration. It is proven that:
[0030] For example, as detailed in PCT application number PCT / CN2018 / 112022, Cataract (Cat) 41 cases, AMD 20 cases, glaucoma (GLA) 18 cases, Behcet's disease ( 9 cases of BD, 9 cases of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH), and 8 cases of endophthalmitis (EOS). Metagenomic sequencing analysis was performed on aqueous humor (AH) samples from patients. In particular, the major intraocular human microbiomes of all patients in these six types were Regardless of the bacterial component, both the alpha diversity and evenness of the ocular microbial community were clearly different. Principal component analysis was performed on the composition of the ocular microbiota (all microbial species were used). As shown by PCA, it is effective among patients with cataracts, EOS, and some glaucoma. However, in patients with AMD, VKH, BD, and some glaucoma, The intraocular human microbiome shares some indistinguishable characteristics. As revealed by hierarchical cluster analysis of the abundance of functional microbial genes from genomes In this study, each order showed common characteristics of microbial function, while each disease group showed other There are outliers that can be classified into disease clusters. Individuals with prominent intraocular human microbiomes Regardless of the sex, characteristic bacterial species can be identified for each of the ocular disease groups tested. The results clearly show that the composition and function of the ocular microbiota may affect ocular diseases, e.g. For example, it can distinguish between AMD, cataract, glaucoma, BD, VKH and EOS.
[0031] Metagenomic analysis identified 14 bacterial species highly enriched in the AH of AMD patients. Propionibacterium acnes was identified as the most abundant pathogen in the AH of AMD patients. Although the microorganisms were highly pathogenic, among the 14 AMD-specific species, Bacillus licheniformis B. licheniformis, and B. megaterium The most enriched species in AMD AH specimens was tetracycline. Compared with non-drusen retinal tissue from six archival eye slides from AMD patients, Fourteen types of AMD-specific bacteria were detected in hard drusen tissue and soft drusen tissue. PCR analysis was performed to examine whether or not the bacteria could be isolated. As a result, only eight types of bacteria were detected. Among these, Propionibacterium acnes was the most abundant species, Bacillus megaterium is a species that concentrates in soft drusen. The relative abundance of acnes in hard drusen, soft drusen, and dry AMD lesion tissues corresponds to that in non-drusen, non-diseased retinal tissue. The relative abundance of Bacillus megaterium was approximately 18-fold higher in soft drusen than in situ drusen. However, this is not the case in AMD lesions. and the possible role of Bacillus megaterium in the pathogenesis of AMD will be revealed. .
[0032] Previous studies have shown that, in addition to many other proteins, drusen contain multiple types of They contain complement components and polysaccharides. Furthermore, drusen components activate inflammasomes, Therefore, the present inventors first investigated the effects of drupelets on the expression of IL-1β and IL-18. Bacillus megaterium, a component of Zen, induces activation of the complement system in vitro and improves acute necrotic leukemia. Enhanced secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 by ARPE19 cells The present inventors investigated whether it is possible to use Propionibacterium acnes as a pathogen. We found that R. megaterium significantly increased pyroptosis in RPE cells in a time-dependent manner. Activation of the complement system was demonstrated by producing an active form of the C5A protein. Both bacteria induced CFH protein secretion by ARPE19 cells, while In contrast, Bacillus megaterium induces CFH, whereas Propionibacterium aeruginosa induces CFH. This is more evident than in the case of Propionibacterium acnes, which is a result of pyroptosis. In vitro infection with Bacillus megaterium, but not B. difficile, inhibits activated IL-1 by RPE cells. These results clearly show that Bacillus meliloti induces the secretion of IL-18 and IL-1β. Infection with G. gallium can cause inflammation similar to that found in soft drusen. There is a gender.
[0033] Next, we tested whether Bacillus megaterium can induce inflammation in vivo. The non-human primate rhesus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) laris) took into account the anatomical structure and intraocular environment of the eye shared by humans and rhesus monkeys. It is considered a model system. Propionibacterium acnes, which lives in the eye, Infection with or inoculation with its ultrasound-inactivated protein induces significant intraocular inflammation. However, it is not a protein but rather Bacillus megaterium, which lives in the eye. Infection with Bacillus megaterium causes significant intraocular inflammation. Induced intraocular inflammation increased the expression of TNFA and IL6, but not IFNG and IL17A. Importantly, only live Bacillus megaterium expresses C5A and CFH. Activation of the complement system, including the pyroptotic cytokines IL-1β and IL- 18. After the onset of inflammation, bacteria continue to survive in the eye, which These data suggest that intraocular inflammation can persist for a substantial period of time. Bacillus megaterium infection induces prolonged activation of the complement system in vitro and in vivo. , demonstrating that it can induce pyroptosis in eye cells.
[0034] Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that bacteria such as Bacillus megaterium The fact that the RPE and brain are located in the nucleus and activate local complement-mediated immune responses is This explains the formation of various drusen between the membrane and the pericardium. All essential proteins (including complement components such as C1Q and immunoglobulins) are first-line antibodies. Other drusen proteins, such as vitronectin and apolipoprotein E, , which has recently been shown to be an anti-infective agent. Therefore, the formation of drusen is associated with aging. This is likely an important response in the control of invading bacterial pathogens in the retina. Due to the diversity of bacteria, the shape and size of drusen can vary. Once the infection is cleared, the drusen disappear. However, some pathogens, such as Bacillus S. megaterium induces long-term activation of immune responses in soft drusen and RPE It causes damage to cells and photoreceptors, and activates macrophages and RPE cells. Inflammation is a protective response against local infection, which is mediated by NLRP3. Activation of the inflammasome and production of IL-18 prevent retinal neovascularization. This is consistent with previous findings.
[0035] Without wishing to be bound by theory, all genetic studies, including the infectious etiology of AMD, For example, defective CFH (induced by Bacillus megaterium infection) Defective HTRA1 (a negative regulator of complement activation) leads to uncontrolled complement activation. A protease that produces the active form of the immunosuppressive cytokine TGF-β is a local TGF- These two genetic mutations result in a decrease in RPE cells and β family proteins. It causes dysregulation of local anti-infective responses that impair photoreceptors.
[0036] Furthermore, potential differences in the pathogenic microbiota found in drusen may be related to different genetic risks. Associations between factors and different ethnicities (e.g., Caucasian and Asian) can be interpreted. Therefore, the infectious etiology of AMD is a mechanism that causes early AMD pathology in elderly people. There is evidence to suggest this.
[0037] In summary, in some embodiments, the inventors have demonstrated that a method for killing and / or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms is When inhibited, it can reduce AMD symptoms such as drusen symptoms (hard drusen, soft drusen, mixed drusen). Dry or wet age-related macular degeneration with drusen and / or degenerated drusen, e.g. The present invention relates to the treatment and / or prevention of dry or wet age-related macular degeneration with soft drusen symptoms. This will reveal the following.
[0038] Screening Method The discovery that multiple intraocular diseases are associated with specific microorganisms also contributes to the identification of intraocular diseases such as AMD. Thus, some embodiments of the present invention support methods for screening candidate therapeutic agents. The embodiments relate to a number of screening methods.
