Abstract
Description
Lachnospiraceae microbial strains, drugs for preventing or treating tumors, and applications thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microorganisms and their applications, in particular to Lachnospiraceae microbial strains, drugs for preventing or treating tumors and their applications. Background Art
[0002] There are a large number of symbiotic microorganisms in the human intestine, and the total amount of genetic information they carry is 50 to 100 times that of the human genome. This is the "gut microbiome", also known as the "second genome" of humans. The intestinal microbiome is the largest and most direct external environment of the human body and plays an indispensable role in maintaining human health. At present, there have been research reports on the role of the intestinal microbiome in nutritional disorders, metabolic abnormalities and complex diseases (such as obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and tumors).
[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics analysis technology, high-throughput sequencing technology, and microbial culture technology, the impact and role of the intestinal flora on intestinal and extraintestinal diseases has become increasingly clear. The intestinal flora is more like an organ with metabolic, immune, and endocrine functions, which can affect the human digestive system, circulatory system, and nervous system, and is closely related to the occurrence of various chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, brain disease, etc.) and tumors in humans. Studying the relationship between the intestinal flora and human health and disease is not only an important scientific research, but also has important significance and value in clinical diagnosis, treatment, and even translation.
[0004] Gut microbial imbalance increases the incidence of colorectal cancer, while some metabolites of intestinal microorganisms can directly slow carcinogenesis or inhibit tumor development. In addition to intestinal-related colon and rectal cancers, intestinal microbiota can also affect breast cancer, liver cancer, and other diseases. There is growing evidence that intestinal microbiota can influence tumor formation, tumor development, and tumor treatment. How to regulate the immune and inflammatory responses caused by intestinal microbiota so that it does not induce tumors while enhancing the efficacy of anti-tumor drugs is still under discussion. If these problems can be solved, it will have great significance for future innovation and transformation in the field of tumor treatment.
[0005] Michael Scharl et al. reported in Cell Host Microbe that Clostridium is associated with low tumor burden, demonstrating that a mixture of commensal Clostridium strains can be expressed through CD8 + T cells produce a strong anti-tumor effect, and by using a variety of solid tumor models, the feasibility of using specific intestinal bacteria as a single agent in cancer treatment was demonstrated. Clostridium mixture CC4 can activate CD8 +T cells simultaneously downregulate immunosuppressive factors to exert anti-cancer effects. Furthermore, CC4's ability to increase CD8+ T cell infiltration places the tumor in a highly immunogenic state, potentially improving the response rate of CRC patients to aPD-1 therapy. These findings open a new chapter in the development of gut microbiota supplementation as an independent therapeutic approach.
[0006] The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) valerate and butyrate can enhance the antitumor activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells through metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming. This SCFA is a rare bacterial metabolite produced by low-abundance commensals such as Megasphaera massiliensis, classifying it as a valerate-producing bacterial species. Interestingly, dominant commensal bacteria are unable to produce valerate. Studies have shown that in vitro treatment of CTLs and CAR T cells with valerate and butyrate increases the function of mTOR, a central cellular metabolic sensor, and inhibits class I histone deacetylase activity. This reprogramming leads to increased production of effector molecules such as CD25, IFN-γ, and TNF-α and significantly enhances the antitumor activity of antigen-specific CTLs and ROR1-targeting CAR T cells in syngeneic mouse models of melanoma and pancreatic cancer. These experimental data reveal microbial molecules that can be used to enhance cellular antitumor immunity and support the identification of valerate and butyrate as two SCFAs with therapeutic utility in cellular cancer immunotherapy.
[0007] Therefore, further discovery, exploration and research of microbial strains with the potential for tumor prevention or treatment have important application value and market prospects.
[0008] In view of this, the present invention is proposed.

[0178] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0179] Example 1
[0180] 1.1 Isolation of strain MNH 46686
[0181] The intestinal strain Lachnospiraceae sp. MNH 46686 screened in the present invention was isolated from a fecal sample of a healthy female volunteer in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province.
[0182] Specifically, the strain isolation method is as follows:
[0183] The donor collects 2 to 5 grams of fresh feces, places them in a sample collection and preservation tube, shakes and homogenizes them, places the processed fecal sample in an ice box, and delivers it to the laboratory for strain isolation within 24 hours.
[0184] Physiological saline was dispensed in a biosafety cabinet, 9 mL / tube. Anaerobic blood agar plates (Huankai Microbiology Technology Co., Ltd.) for strain isolation were prepared and transferred to the anaerobic workstation 24 h in advance. Sample information, culture medium type, isolation date, etc. were marked.
[0185] Take fresh fecal samples and place them in an anaerobic operating station (Don Whitley Scientific H35) and shake them on a vortex shaker for 1 min. Pipette 1 mL of the sample into 9 mL of normal saline and mix for 10 min. -1 dilution, and then serially diluted to 10 -6 Dilution solution, set aside.
[0186] Take 10 -6Drop the diluted solution into the separation medium (anaerobic blood agar plate, Columbia blood agar plate and chocolate agar plate) at a drop volume of 100 μL / dish. Spread evenly. After the surface of the plate is dry, turn the plate upside down and culture at 37°C for 3 to 5 days.
[0187] 1.2 Purification of strains
[0188] Observe the growth of the strain in the isolation culture medium and pick a single colony with a sterilized toothpick for strain purification. The purified strain is placed at 37°C for anaerobically culture.
[0189] The pure culture strain was prepared into 20% glycerol / water-bacteria solution and stored at -86°C.
[0190] Example 2. Morphological and physiological and biochemical characteristics of strain MNH 46686
[0191] 2.1 Morphological characteristics of strain MNH 46686
[0192] Strain MNH 46686 was inoculated onto anaerobic blood agar plates and incubated anaerobically at 37°C for 48 hours. Visible colonies formed on the agar plates. These colonies were round, with regular, smooth edges, approximately 0.5 mm in diameter, pale yellow, and opaque. No secretions were observed around the colonies. The strain was Gram-negative. Microscopic observation revealed the absence of flagella, the absence of motility, and rod-shaped colonies, approximately 2-5 μm x 20-50 μm in length. A photograph of the colony morphology of strain MNH 46686 after 48 hours of anaerobic blood agar plate incubation is shown in Figure 1. Microscopic photographs of strain MNH 46686 are shown in Figures 2 (overall) and 3 (partial).
[0193] The Gram-stained microscopic morphology of strain MNH 46686 is shown in FIG4 , and the spore-stained microscopic morphology of strain MNH 46686 is shown in FIG5 ( FIG4 and FIG5 are grayscaled; the original staining images appear red). The strain can produce spores and is Gram-negative.
[0194] 2.2 Physiological and biochemical characteristics of strain MNH 46686
[0195] Strain MNH 46686 has a growth temperature range of 30-42°C, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. It can grow in the pH range of 7.0 to 9.0, with an optimal pH of 7.0 (see Figure 6 for the strain's tolerance to different pH values). It will not grow on media containing more than 2% NaCl (see Figure 7 for the strain's tolerance to different NaCl concentrations). Strain MNH 46686 can survive and grow in bile salt concentrations between 0% and 0.3%, but will not grow at bile salt concentrations greater than or equal to 0.4% (see Figure 8 for the strain's tolerance to different bile salt concentrations).
[0196] 2.3 Results of biochemical identification of strain MNH 46686 using API 20A
[0197] The test was performed using API 20A reagent strips (BioMérieux) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Culture conditions were 37°C, anaerobic. The experimental results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 9.
[0198] Table 1. Test results of strain MNH 46686API 20A
[0199] 2.4 Antibiotic susceptibility testing of strain MNH 46686 was performed using the disk diffusion method.
[0200] The results of antibiotic susceptibility testing of MNH 46686 are shown in Table 2. Strain MNH 46686 was resistant to erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and lincomycin, but was sensitive to gentamicin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and penicillin.
[0201] Table 2. Antibiotic susceptibility test results of strain MNH 46686
[0202] Example 3. Identification of strain MNH 46686
[0203] 3.1 16S rRNA gene amplification
[0204] Fresh culture of strain MNH 46686 was used to extract genomic DNA, which was then used as a template for 16S rRNA gene amplification.
[0205] The primer pairs used in the 16S rRNA gene PCR of the present invention are:
[0206] 27F: 5'-AGAGTTTGATCMTGGCTCAG-3' (SEQ ID No. 2)
[0207] 1492R: 5'-TACGGYTACCTTGTTACGACTT-3' (SEQ ID No. 3).
[0208] The PCR reaction procedure is as follows:
[0209] Initial denaturation: 94°C, 4 min; denaturation: 94°C, 50 sec; annealing: 52°C, 40 sec; extension: 72°C, 70 sec; final extension: 72°C, 10 min. (Note: 36 cycles).
[0210] 3.2 16S rRNA gene sequencing
[0211] After PCR amplification, the PCR product was purified and sent to GENEWIZ for 16S rRNA gene sequencing to obtain the 16S rRNA gene sequence (1383 bp).
[0212] The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MNH 46686 is shown in SEQ ID No. 1:
[0213] 3.3 Strain identification results
[0214] The strain 16S rRNA gene sequence returned by sequencing was submitted to the NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for strain 16S rRNA gene analysis to confirm the strain classification information.
[0215] The measured sequences were compared with the data in GenBank using BLAST analysis. The alignment results showed that the strains with the highest similarity to MNH 46686 were Lachnoclostridium pacaense (93.77%) and Enterocloster citroniae (93.77%). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain MNH46686 and other strains was less than 93.7%. The low (<95%) 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity indicated that strain MNH 46686 may be a new genus and species of the Lachnospiraceae family.
[0216] The 16S rRNA gene sequences of MNH 46686 were compared with those of Lachnospiraceae-related strains retrieved from databases such as GenBank to construct a phylogenetic tree.
[0217] A multiple sequence alignment was performed between MNH 46686 and the sequences of model strains with high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity in the NCBI database. A phylogenetic tree was then constructed using the software MEGA 5 (maximum likelihood method). In the figure, only nodes with bootstrap values greater than 50% are displayed. The superscript "T" indicates the model strain.
[0218] From the phylogenetic tree (Figure 10), it can be seen that strain MNH 46686 did not cluster together with strains of other genera in the Lachnospiraceae family, but formed a separate branch (Bootstrap support value was 90). Phylogenetic tree analysis supported the classification of strain MNH 46686 as a new genus and species in the Lachnospiraceae family.
[0219] Example 4. Genome analysis of strain MNH 46686
[0220] The genome of the original strain MNH46686 was fragmented using ultrasound to fragments of approximately 350 bp. An Illumina sequencing library was then constructed using a standard DNA library construction kit (NEB Ultra™). The constructed library was sequenced using a NovaSeq (Illumina) with paired-end 150-bp sequencing. The sequencing yielded 1.34 Gbp of data, of which Q20 accounted for 97.325%.
[0221] The raw sequencing data were filtered using fastp (version 0.20.0) with the filtering parameters: "--poly_g_min_len 10--poly_x_min_len 10--q 15--u 40--n 5--l 50". The filtered raw data were assembled using SPAdes (version v3.14.0) with the assembly parameters "--isolate--cov-cutoff 10". The assembled genome yielded a total gene length of 3.34 Mbp, an N50 length of 174.9 kbp, and a GC content of 51.93%.
[0222] Genomic gene prediction and analysis were performed using the prokaryotic analysis software Genome Annotation Pipeline prokka (version 1.14.5) with the parameters "--gcode 11 --evalue 1e-09". A total of 3052 CDS sequences were predicted, with an average CDS sequence length of 977 bp.
[0223] Potential antibiotic resistance genes in the genome were analyzed using the RGI pipeline (version 4.2.2), using the CARD (version 3.0.0, https: / / card.mcmaster.ca / analyze / rgi) database. Detailed comparison information is shown in Table 3.
[0224] Table 3. List of drug resistance gene information
[0225] The analysis of potential virulence factors and related genes in the genome was performed using NCBI blastp (version: 2.7.1+) to compare against the virulence factor database (VFDB, http: / / www.mgc.ac.cn / cgi-bin / VFs / v5 / main.cgi, updated on September 19, 2019). Detailed comparison results are shown in Table 4.

[0229] The analysis of potential primary metabolic gene clusters in the genome was performed using gutSMASH5 (version 1.0.0). Detailed alignment results are shown in Table 6.
[0230] Table 6. List of potential primary metabolic gene clusters of MNH-46686
[0231] The butyrate production capacity of this strain was evaluated. The genes related to the butyrate production pathway in the article (Vital M, Howe C, Tiedje M. Revealing the Bacterial Butyrate Synthesis Pathways by Analyzing (Meta) genomic Data [J]. Mbio, 2014, 5 (2): 1-11) were used as a reference database. The genome sequence of this strain was compared with the reference database using NCBI blastp (version: 2.7.1+). The detailed comparison results are shown in Table 7. The integrity of the butyrate production pathway was then calculated. The calculation showed that the integrity of the butyrate production pathway of this strain was 100%.

[0233] Example 5. Fatty acid composition analysis of strain MNH 46686
[0234] Strain MNH 46686 was inoculated on TSA plates and cultured anaerobically at 37°C for 48 h. The cells were then harvested for fatty acid extraction and methylation. The fatty acid composition of strain MNH 46686 was analyzed using the Microbial ID, Inc., Newark, Del. (Kroppenstedt, 1985; Meier et al., 1993) automated bacterial identification system.
[0235] The fatty acid composition of the experimental strain MNH 46686 is shown in the table below.
[0236] The results showed that the major fatty acids (>10%) in MNH 46686 were hexadecene saturated fatty acids (C16:0 34.61%), 18:1CIS 9FAME (18.30%), 18:1c11 / t9 / t6FAME (12.74%), and octadecene saturated fatty acids (C18:0 10.92%); the remaining fatty acid types and their contents are detailed in Table 8 below.

[0252] Example 7. Regulation of macrophage immune activity by strain MNH 46686
[0253] The experimental method refers to Experimental Example 1 in the prior art CN112618576B.
[0254] THP-1 cells (Wuhan Pronocell Life Science Co., Ltd.) were treated with PMA at a final concentration of 5 ng / mL for 48 h to differentiate them into M0 macrophages.
[0255] The strain MNH46686 was added at an MOI (viable count: cell number) of 8-10:1. A control group of M1 macrophages (M0 macrophages induced with 20 ng / ml IFNγ and 10 pg / ml LPS for 24 hours) was also established. After 1 hour of culture, a cocktail of antibiotics (ampicillin, streptomycin, and colistin) was added to kill the bacteria. Culture was continued for another 23 hours, and the supernatant was collected.
[0256] Using BD TMThe Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Human Soluble Protein Master Buffer Kit was used. After the supernatant samples were reacted with the antibody protein according to the instructions, the concentrations of cytokines such as IL-10, MIG, IL-6, MCP-1, RANTES, IL-1β, IL-8, and TNFα in the supernatant were detected by flow cytometry (results are shown in Figure 11).
[0257] The results showed that after co-culture of M0 macrophages with MNH46686, the macrophages clearly showed characteristics of differentiation into M1 macrophages. Among them, the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-12 / IL-13P40 increased significantly, and TNFα showed an up-regulation trend; the levels of chemokines MIG, MCP-1, and RANTES increased significantly, and IP-10 showed an up-regulation trend; and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 showed a down-regulation trend.

[0264] Interferon (IFN) receptor proteins are a type of cytokine secreted by host cells that regulate immune responses. Interferon is produced under stimulation by viruses, bacterial endotoxins, artificially synthesized double-stranded RNA, etc. Macrophages, lymphocytes, somatic cells, etc. in the human body can produce interferon. Among them, IFNβ belongs to type I interferon, which can promote the activity of NK cells, macrophages, and T lymphocytes. The experimental results in Example 12 of the present invention (Figures 16-18) show that MNH46686 increases NK cells during the anti-tumor process; further, the strain MNH46686 of the present invention was further verified by experiments to be able to promote the expression of IFNβ, thereby exerting antiviral, anti-tumor, and immunomodulatory effects. To verify whether MNH46686 can promote the expression of IFNβ, this study used THP-1 cells (Muen Company's self-built cell line) that have been constructed to carry the IFNβ gene promoter reporter gene (i.e., IFNβ-promoter reporter) to evaluate the effect of MNH46686 on IFNβ transcriptional activity.
[0265] Preparation of MNH46686 culture supernatant: strain MNH46686 was inoculated into MM01 liquid culture medium, cultured anaerobically at 37°C for 48 hours, and the cells were removed by centrifugation. The culture supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, aliquoted, and the collected material was stored at -86°C until use.
[0266] Positive drug group: MSA-2 (Sting agonist) (derived from TargetMol Cat No. T8798 (Target Molecule Corp.)) can promote the expression of IFNβ, and three gradients of 20 μM, 40 μM and 80 μM were set.
[0267] Untreated group: DMEM complete medium (10% FBS)
[0268] High group: containing 10% volume of MM01 bacterial culture
[0269] MNH46686 group: containing 10% volume of MNH46686 bacterial culture supernatant
[0270] THP-1-IFNβ-promoter reporter cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 1×10 cells per well. 5Cells were treated according to the designated groups. After 24 hours of culture, the cells were centrifuged at 300g for 5 minutes, the supernatant was removed, and 50 μL of 1× luciferase detection reagent was added. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 minute, and luminescence was measured using a microplate reader. Relative fluorescence values were normalized to those of the untreated group and compared with those of the High group to evaluate the effect of MNH46686 on IFNβ transcriptional activity.
[0271] The results showed that the IFNβ gene reporter system constructed in the present invention (the gene reporter system mentioned in the present invention means: the reporter gene is inserted into the vector, the vector infects the cells, and the cell line expressing the reporter gene is screened) (see Document 1: Huashan Du, Tianmin Xu, Manhua Cui "cGAS-STING signaling in cancer immunity and immunotherapy" Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy 133 (2021) 110972; Document 2: Jiang et al. "cGAS-STING, an important pathway in cancer immunotherapy" Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2020) 13: 81; Document 3: Khiem C. Lam et al. "Microbiota triggers STING-type I IFN-dependent monocyte reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment" Cell 184,5338–5356) showed a good response to positive drugs (Figure 13A). Further evaluation of samples using this system revealed that MNH46686 significantly promoted IFNβ transcriptional activity (Figure 13B). These results suggest that MNH46686 has potential for immunomodulatory, antiviral, and anti-tumor effects.
[0272] Example 10. Animal experiment on the prevention of liver cancer using strain MNH 46686
[0273] To verify the potential of strain MNH 46686 for tumor prevention and treatment, a mouse syngeneic tumor model was used to investigate the inhibition of liver cancer growth. This study has been ethically reviewed by the Muen Biotech Laboratory Animal Care and Use Committee.
[0274] Test strains: After thawing the glycerol cryopreserved tube of MNH 46686 at 37°C, the strain was inoculated on an anaerobic blood plate in an anaerobic workstation for activation. The activated strain was inoculated into MM01 liquid medium and cultured anaerobically to obtain a sufficient amount of culture. The cultured liquid was concentrated by centrifugation and resuspended in a solvent to obtain the purity and viable count (2.04×10 10 CFU / mL) of the test substances that meet the requirements of animal experiments.
[0275] Tumor cells: H22 mouse hepatoma cells, CBP69230.
[0276] Experimental animals: The experimental mice were C57BL / 6J mice, 5 weeks old, a total of 20, purchased from Guangdong Yaokang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0277] Animal experiment: The mice were raised normally. After the quarantine period, they were randomly divided into two groups (control group and experimental group) according to their body weight, with 10 mice in each group and housed in separate cages. After grouping, H22 mouse liver cancer cells were injected intradermally to establish a mouse liver cancer model. The cell inoculation amount was 2×10 6 / mL, 0.1mL / piece.
[0278] Oral gavage administration began on the day of completion of inoculation (DAY 0). The control group was given culture medium, and the experimental group was given MNH 46686 bacteria. The gavage volume was 0.2 mL / mouse / time, and the administration frequency was 1 day / time. General observations were performed once a day during the quarantine period and once a day after administration during the administration period. The animals were weighed upon receipt, at the end of the quarantine period, and 3 times a week during the administration period. Starting 7 days after tumor cell inoculation (DAY 7), tumor measurements were performed 3 times a week, and tumor growth was recorded. The endpoint of this experiment was: 19 oral administrations were completed. At the end of the experiment, all mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation.
[0279] The experimental results are shown in Table 10 below.
[0280] Table 10. Overall statistics of mice at the end of the experiment
[0281] Figure 14 is a comparison of tumor tissue sizes after dissection of experimental mice. The left picture is the experimental group and the right picture is the control group.
[0282] The weight of the tumor tissues after mouse dissection was counted, and the results are shown in Table 11 below.
[0283] Table 11. Tumor tissue weight after mouse autopsy
[0284] The results showed that tumors in the control group grew rapidly, reaching an average weight of approximately 2.53g on day 19. Tumors in the experimental group averaged approximately 1.69g on day 19, showing a significantly slower growth rate than the control group. This experiment demonstrates that MNH 46686 can significantly reduce the growth rate of liver cancer. This suggests that the strain of the present invention can inhibit tumor growth and therefore has potential applications in tumor prevention and treatment.

[0292] Animal experiment: The animals were raised normally. After the quarantine period, LLC1 lung cancer cells were subcutaneously inoculated to form an ectopic homologous tumor model. The cell inoculation volume was 2×10 6 / mL, 0.1mL / mouse. When the average tumor volume reaches 80-100mm 3The animals were randomly divided into two groups according to the tumor volume, group A (Control) and group F (MNH46686). Group BE was other test substances. Oral gavage was started on the day of grouping (D1). The control group was given the vehicle and group F was given MNH46686 bacteria. The oral gavage volume was 0.2 mL / animal / time, and the administration frequency was 1 day / time. General observation was performed once a day during the quarantine period and once a day after administration during the administration period. The animals were weighed at the time of receipt and at the end of the quarantine period. The animals were weighed twice a week after tumor inoculation. The day of tumor cell inoculation was D1. From D5 to grouping, the tumor diameter was measured once a day; after grouping, the tumor diameter was measured once every 2 days; when the average tumor volume was ≥1000 mm 3 The tumor diameter was measured once a day and the tumor growth was recorded. The endpoint of this experiment was the 20th day of administration. 3 ) were measured. At the endpoint of the study, all surviving mice were dissected and tumor weight and volume were measured. Statistical analysis and comparison were performed using the following parameters: tumor volume curve, endpoint tumor volume, endpoint tumor weight, and endpoint tumor inhibition rate (TGI). Tumor inhibition rate was calculated as (mean volume of control group minus mean volume of experimental group) / mean volume of control group × 100%. All data were expressed as mean ± SD and analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 software. Pairwise comparisons were analyzed using the Student's t test, while two-way ANOVA with Sidak's multiple comparisons were used for two-way comparisons. Significant differences are indicated by *, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
[0293] At the end of the experiment (D21), the surviving mice were dissected and the tumor tissues were weighed. The results are summarized in the following table.
[0294] Table 12 Overall statistics of mice at the end of the experiment
[0295] The results showed that during the experiment, the statistical analysis of the tumor volume curve of group F (MNH46686) was significantly smaller than that of group A (Control) (Figure 15(A)). At the end of the experiment, the average tumor volume of mice in the control group was 1136.39 mm 3The average tumor tissue weight was about 1.33 g; the average tumor volume of mice in the MNH46686-treated group was 751.78 mm 3 The average tumor tissue weight was approximately 0.74 g. Tumor volume and weight in the MNH46686-treated group were significantly smaller than those in the control group (Table 12, Figures 15(B) and 15(C)). At the endpoint, the tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) in Group F (MNO-863) was 36.3% (Figure 15(D)), significantly improving the tumor growth inhibition rate.
[0296] Example 12. Flow cytometry results of MNH 46686
[0297] This example explores the immunoassay of mice activated by MNH46686.
[0298] Experimental principle:
[0299] After preparing single-cell suspensions from tumor-bearing mouse tissue, cells are labeled with fluorescent markers. The proportion of cells expressing these markers can be measured using a flow cytometer. The distribution of these immune cells, to some extent, reflects the immune status of the mouse.

The pulverized tumor tissue was placed in 5 mL of collagenase IV digestion solution (1 mg / ml collagenase IV, 0.1 mg / ml DNase, 10% FBS) and digested at 37°C for 30 min. The digested tissue fluid was filtered through a 70 μm filter membrane to prepare a mouse tumor single-cell suspension, which was then analyzed and the total cell count was calculated.
[0304] 2. T cell / NK cell staining on tumor cell surface
[0305] Single-cell suspensions of mouse tumors were prepared and dyes (corresponding antibody combinations) T-Live-Tumor / NK-Live-Tumor and T-Tumor / NK-Tumor were added to stain T cells / NK cells on the tumor cell surface. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS and tested on an instrument.
[0306] 3. Staining of the intracellular transcription factor Foxp3 in tumor cells
[0307] Single-cell suspensions of mouse tumors were obtained, and dyes (corresponding antibody combinations) Treg-Live-Tumor and Treg-Surface-Tumor were added in sequence for staining. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS. Subsequently, fixative and permeabilization solutions were used in sequence according to the instructions of the detection kit, and Treg-Foxp3-Tumor nuclear stain was used for staining. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS and tested on the microscope.
[0308] 2. Peripheral blood
[0309] Peripheral blood was collected and lysed for 5 minutes using red blood cell lysis buffer. The cells were then centrifuged at 500 g and the supernatant removed. The cells were lysed again and resuspended in PBS to obtain a single-cell suspension. Single-cell suspensions of mouse peripheral blood were stained for T cells and NK cells by adding T-Live-Blood / NK-Live-Blood and T-Blood / NK-Blood dyes, respectively. The stained cells were then resuspended in PBS and analyzed.
[0310] 3. Spleen Tissue
[0311] 1. Preparation of Splenic Single Cell Suspension and Cell Counting
[0312] 0.1 g of spleen tissue was collected, the surface was rinsed with PBS and then the tissue was crushed. The crushed spleen tissue was suspended in PBS and filtered through a 70 μm filter membrane to prepare a mouse spleen single cell suspension for detection.
[0313] Take a small amount of the mouse spleen single cell suspension prepared above, add red blood cell lysis buffer, Spleen-Counting, pre-cooled PBS, etc. in sequence, complete the on-machine detection, and accurately count the mouse spleen single cell value.
[0314] The remaining mouse spleen single cell suspension prepared above was taken and red blood cell lysis buffer, PBS, etc. were added in sequence for cell treatment. The treated cell suspension was filtered through a 300-mesh filter and then tested on an instrument.
[0315] 2. Splenic Cell Surface T Cell / NK Cell Staining
[0316] Single cell suspensions of mouse spleen were obtained, and dyes T-Alexa Fluor647 anti-mouse FOXP3-SP / NK-Alexa Fluor647anti-mouse FOXP3-SP, T-Live-SP / NK-Live-SP, and T-SP / NK-SP were added to stain T cells / NK cells on the surface of spleen cells. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS and detected by the instrument.
[0317] 3. Spleen Cell Intracellular Transcription Factor Foxp3 Staining
[0318] Single cell suspension of mouse spleen was obtained, and dyes Treg-Fcblock-SP, Treg-Live-SP, and Treg-Surface-SP were added in sequence for staining. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS. Subsequently, according to the instructions of the detection kit, fixative, permeabilization solution, and Treg-SP nuclear staining were used for staining in sequence. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS and detected by the instrument.
[0319] Experimental results:
[0320] Combined with Figures 16 and 17, the results of the proportion of various immune cells in peripheral blood show that compared with the control group, the proportion of NK cells in the peripheral blood of mice was significantly increased, and immune T cells such as CD45+CD3+, CD45+CD4+, and CD45+CD8+ all showed an upward trend (see Figure 16G-J); Analysis of the correlation between various immune cells in peripheral blood and tumor endpoint volume (see Figure 17) shows that the tumor endpoint volume is significantly negatively correlated with the proportion of NK cells in peripheral blood, and there is no significant correlation with the proportion of other immune cells. This shows that MNH46686 can activate the mouse systemic immunity by increasing the proportion of NK cells in the peripheral blood of mice and exert an anti-tumor effect.
[0321] The proportion of M2 macrophages, immunosuppressive Treg cells, killer cells CD4+IFNγ+ cells, CD8+IFNγ+ cells, CD4+TNFα+ cells, and CD4+TNFα+ cells in tumor tissues (see A to F in Figure 16) showed that compared with the control group, the proportion of killer cells CD4+IFNγ+ cells, CD8+IFNγ+ cells, CD4+TNFα+ cells, and CD4+TNFα+ cells in mouse tumor tissues showed an upward trend, while M2 macrophages and immunosuppressive Treg cells showed a downward trend; analysis of the correlation between the above cells in tumor tissues and the tumor endpoint volume (see A to F in Figure 17) showed that the tumor endpoint volume was significantly positively correlated with the proportion of immunosuppressive Treg cells and M2 macrophages in tumor tissues, and was significantly positively correlated with the tumor killer cells CD4+IFNγ+ cells, CD8+IFNγ+ cells, CD4+TNFα+ cells, and CD4+TNFα+ cells in tumor tissues. The results showed that MNH46686 can inhibit the proportion of M2 macrophages and immunosuppressive Treg cells in mouse tumors, increase the number of tumor-killing cells CD4+IFNγ+ cells, CD8+IFNγ+ cells, CD4+TNFα+ cells, and CD4+TNFα+ cells, and activate the local immunity of mouse tumors, thereby exerting an anti-tumor effect. The strain MNH46686 can exert its anti-tumor activity by stimulating the activation of the mouse immune system.

[0323] 1. Experimental Methods
[0324] To validate the therapeutic efficacy of strain MNH46686 combined with a PD-1 antibody, a mouse syngeneic tumor model was used to investigate the inhibition of lung cancer growth. This experimental protocol has been reviewed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Muen Biotech.
[0325] Test strains: After thawing the glycerol cryopreserved tube of MNH46686 at 37°C, the strain was inoculated on an anaerobic blood plate in an anaerobic workstation for activation.

The cultured liquid was centrifuged and concentrated, and the cells were resuspended in a solvent to obtain the purity and viable count (9.23×10 8 CFU / mL) of the test substances that meet the requirements of animal experiments.
[0326] Tumor cells: LLC1 mouse lung cancer cells, catalog number CL-0140.
[0327] Experimental animals: The experimental mice were C57BL / 6J mice, aged 5-6 weeks, a total of 108, purchased from Guangdong Yaokang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0328] Animal experiment: The animals were raised normally. After the quarantine period, LLC1 lung cancer cells were subcutaneously inoculated to form an ectopic homologous tumor model. The cell inoculation volume was 2×10 6 / mL, 0.1mL / mouse. When the average tumor volume reaches 60-100mm 3 At the time of the study, the animals were randomly divided into eight groups based on tumor volume: Group A (Negative Control), Group B (Positive Control, PD-1), Group E (MNH46686 & PD-1), and Groups C, D, and FH received other test substances. Dosing began on the day of grouping: Group A received vehicle and saline, Group B received vehicle and PD-1 antibody, and Group E received MNH46686 and PD-1 antibody. Vehicle and MNH46686 were administered by gavage at a volume of 0.2 mL per animal per day for a total of 20 doses. PD-1 antibody and saline were administered by intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 10 mg / kg every three days for a total of six doses. Animals were weighed upon receipt and at the end of the quarantine period. Animals were weighed twice weekly after tumor inoculation, including on the day of intraperitoneal injection. The day of tumor cell inoculation was designated Day 1. From D5 to grouping, the tumor diameter was measured once a day; after grouping, the tumor diameter was measured once every 3 days; and the tumor growth was recorded. The endpoint of the experiment was the 23rd day of administration. During the experiment, general clinical observation, body weight monitoring, tumor volume (mm 3) were measured. At the experimental endpoint, all surviving mice were dissected and tumor weight and volume were measured. Statistical analysis and comparison were performed using the following indicators: tumor volume curve, endpoint tumor volume, endpoint tumor weight, and endpoint tumor growth inhibition (TGI). TGI = 1 - (individual tumor volume - individual tumor volume at grouping) / (mean tumor volume of Group A - mean tumor volume of Group A at grouping) × 100%. All data are expressed as mean ± SD and analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 software. For comparisons between three or more groups, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test was used. Two-way ANOVA with Sidak's multiple comparisons was used for two-factor analysis. Significant differences are indicated by *, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
[0329] 2. Experimental results of the combination of strain MNH46686 and PD-1 antibody for the treatment of lung cancer
[0330] At the end of the experiment (D24), the surviving mice were dissected and the tumor tissues were weighed. The results are summarized in Table 13.
[0331] Table 13 Overall statistics of mice at the end of the experiment
[0332] The results showed that during the experiment, the statistical analysis of the tumor volume curve of Group E (MNH46686 & PD-1) was significantly smaller than that of Group A (Negative Control) and Group B (Positive Control) (Figure 19). At the end of the experiment, the average tumor volume of mice in the negative control group was 1279.80 mm 3 The average tumor tissue weight was about 1.28g; the average tumor volume of the positive control group (Positive Control) mice was 710.29mm 3 The average tumor tissue weight was about 0.92g; the average tumor volume of mice in the MNH46686 & PD-1 antibody treatment group was 346.99mm 3The average tumor tissue weight reached approximately 0.47g. Compared to the negative control group, the endpoint tumor volume and weight of mice treated with MNH46686 and PD-1 antibody were significantly reduced. Compared to the positive control group, both endpoint tumor volume and weight showed a downward trend (Figures 20 and 21). At the endpoint, the tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) in Group B (Positive Control) was 47.3%, and in Group E (MNH46686 and PD-1) was 77.2%, significantly higher than that in the positive control group (Figure 22). At the endpoint, the response rate in Group A (Negative Control), Group B (Positive Control), and Group E (MNH46686 and PD-1) was 20.0%, 60.0%, and 87.5%. The combination of MNH46686 and PD-1 antibody significantly improved the response rate of tumors (Figure 22). The data in the figures are presented as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD). Statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA with Sidak's multiple comparisons. Significant differences are indicated by *, *p < 0.05.
[0333] Example 14. Inhibitory effect of strain MNH46686 on histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity
[0334] To verify whether MNH46686 has an inhibitory effect on histone deacetylase activity, this study used the HDAC Inhibitor Drug Screening Kit (Fluorometric) purchased from Abcam to perform in vitro HDAC activity inhibition detection.
[0335] Preparation of MNH46686 culture supernatant: strain MNH46686 was inoculated into liquid culture medium, cultured anaerobically at 37°C for 48 hours, and the cells were removed by centrifugation. The culture supernatant was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter, aliquoted, and the collected material was frozen at -80°C for later use.
[0336] Assay sample preparation: 1) Control group: MM01 culture medium was diluted 10-fold with PBS to obtain a 10% MM01 content; 2) Positive control group: TSA, an HDAC inhibitor, was diluted with PBS to a final concentration of 40 μM; 3) MNH46686 group: MNH46686 culture supernatant was diluted 10-fold with PBS to obtain an experimental sample containing 10% bacterial supernatant.
[0337] Preparation of HDACs detection reaction reagents: Prepare an appropriate amount of detection reaction system according to the kit instructions. Each reaction requires 50 μL of reaction reagent.
[0338] HDACs activity assay: Add 50 μL of test sample to a 96-well white plate, followed by 50 μL of each reaction reagent, mix thoroughly, and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. Add 10 μL of Lysine Developer to each well and mix thoroughly to terminate the reaction. Incubate the plate at 37°C for 30 minutes. Finally, measure the fluorescence intensity of the samples using a microplate reader. The reader settings are Ex. = 350-380 nm, Em. = 440-460 nm. For HDACs inhibitory activity analysis, set the fluorescence intensity of the control to 100%. Divide the fluorescence intensity of the positive control and MNH46686 by the control and multiply by 100% to obtain relative HDACs activity.
[0339] The results (see Figure 23) show that compared to the HDAC activity of the control group, the supernatant of MNH46686 significantly inhibited HDAC activity, similar to the effect of TSA, the HDAC inhibitor control group. These results suggest that MNH46686 can inhibit HDAC activity and, by inhibiting HDAC activity, can be used to prevent or treat diseases mediated by HDAC activity.
[0340] The function of HDACs in cancer is associated with the abnormal expression or function of genes that promote cell proliferation and tumorigenic phenotypes. In certain cancers, HDACs primarily regulate the onset of cancer and have been described as oncogenes. Reduced or inhibited HDAC expression has been shown to have a variety of anti-cancer effects, such as cell cycle arrest and inhibition of proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and senescence, as well as disruption of angiogenesis. Therefore, the strain MNH46686 of the present invention has the ability to inhibit HDAC activity, suggesting that the drugs or compositions of the present invention can be used to prevent or treat tumors or cancers mediated by HDAC activity. Because genes regulated by HDACs play an important role in angiogenesis, the drugs or compositions of the present invention can be used to prevent tumor metastasis.
[0341] Diabetes is a group of diseases in which low levels of insulin and / or peripheral insulin resistance lead to hyperglycemia. It has been proposed that inhibition of HDAC is used to treat diabetes by various mechanisms, including the inhibition of Pdxl (Park et al., 2008, J Clin Invest, 118, 2316-24), enhancing the expression of transcription factor Ngn3 to increase endocrine reservoirs. Progenitor cells (Haumaitre et al., 2008, Mol Cell Biol, 28, 6373-83) and enhanced insulin expression (Molsey et al., 2003, J Biol Chem, 278, 19660-6) etc. HDAC inhibition is also a promising method for treating complications of late diabetes such as diabetic nephropathy and retinal ischemia (Christensen et al., 2011, Mol Med, 17 (5-6), 370-390). Therefore, the compositions of the present invention can be used to treat or prevent diabetes mediated by HDAC activity.
[0342] The compositions of the present invention are used to treat or prevent diabetes. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions of the present invention are used to treat or prevent type I diabetes. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions of the present invention are used to treat or prevent type II diabetes. In certain embodiments, the compositions of the present invention are used to treat or prevent diabetes, wherein the treatment or prevention is achieved by reducing or preventing HDAC activation.
[0343] The strain MNH46686 of the present invention can inhibit HDAC activity, activate T cells, and achieve anti-tumor purposes.
[0344] The compositions of the present invention have HDAC inhibitory activity, and thus they can be used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases mediated by HDAC activity.
[0345] Example 15 MNH46686 combined with PD-1 to activate mouse immune analysis
[0346] After preparing single-cell suspensions from tumor-bearing mouse tissue, cells are labeled with fluorescent markers. The proportion of cells expressing these markers can be measured using a flow cytometer. The distribution of these immune cells, to some extent, reflects the immune status of the mouse.
[0347] Experimental methods:
[0348] Tumor tissue was removed, the surface rinsed with PBS, cut into small pieces, and pulverized. The pulverized tumor tissue was placed in 5 mL of collagenase IV digestion solution (1 mg / ml collagenase IV, 0.1 mg / ml DNase, 10% FBS) and digested at 37°C for 30 min. The digested tissue fluid was filtered through a 70 μm filter membrane to prepare a mouse tumor single-cell suspension, which was then analyzed and the total number of cells in the tissue was counted. The mouse tumor single-cell suspension was stimulated with stimulant for 4 hours. After washing and resuspending the cells, the dyes (corresponding antibody combination) Live-Tumor and IFN / TNF-Surface-Tumor were added sequentially for staining. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS. Subsequently, the cells were treated with fixative and permeabilization solution according to the detection kit instructions, and stained with IFN / TNF-Tumor nuclear stain. The stained cells were resuspended in PBS and analyzed.
[0349] Flow cytometry data were processed using CyExpert and statistical analysis was performed using Graphpad Prism V9. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Dunnet's multiple comparison, ns not significant*p<0.05,**p<0.01,***p<0.001.
[0350] Experimental results:
[0351] The proportions of immune cells with tumor-killing effects in tumor tissues, including CD4+IFNγ+ cells, CD8+IFNγ+ cells, CD4+TNFα+ cells, and CD4+TNFα+ cells, were found to be upregulated in the tumor tissues of mice in the MNH46686+PD-1 group compared with those in the positive control group (PD-1 group). The proportions of immune cells with tumor-killing effects in the MNH46686+PD-1 group were found to be upregulated in the tumor tissues of mice in the positive control group (PD-1 group). The correlation between the above cells in tumor tissue and the tumor endpoint weight (see Figures 25A to 25D) shows that tumor weight is significantly negatively correlated with the proportion of tumor-killing cells CD4+IFNγ+ cells, CD8+IFNγ+ cells, CD4+TNFα+ cells, and CD4+TNFα+ cells in tumor tissue; thus, it can be seen that MNH46686 can activate local tumor immunity in mice by increasing the proportion of tumor-killing cells CD4+IFNγ+ cells, CD8+IFNγ+ cells, CD4+TNFα+ cells, and CD4+TNFα+ cells, thereby enhancing the anti-tumor effect of PD-1 antibodies.
[0352] Example 16 Experimental study on the efficacy of strain MNH46686 in lung cancer tumors
[0353] 1.2.1 Experimental methods
[0354] To investigate the effect of MNH46686 dosage on tumor treatment, we used a mouse syngeneic tumor model to investigate the inhibition of lung cancer growth. This experimental protocol has been reviewed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Muen Biotech.
[0355] Test strains: After thawing the glycerol cryopreserved tube of MNH46686 at 37°C, the strain was inoculated on an anaerobic blood plate in an anaerobic workstation for activation. The activated strain was inoculated into MM01 liquid medium and cultured anaerobically to obtain a sufficient number of viable bacteria. The cultured bacterial solution was centrifuged and concentrated, and the cells were resuspended in a solvent to obtain the purity and viable count (4.1×10 10 CFU / mL) of the test substances that meet the requirements of animal experiments.
[0356] Tumor cells: LLC1 mouse lung cancer cells, catalog number CL-0140.
[0357] Experimental animals: The experimental mice were C57BL / 6J mice, aged 5-6 weeks, a total of 60, purchased from Guangdong Yaokang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0358] Animal experiment: The animals were raised normally. After the quarantine period, LLC1 lung cancer cells were subcutaneously inoculated to form an ectopic homologous tumor model. The cell inoculation volume was 2×10 6 / mL, 0.1mL / mouse. When the average tumor volume reaches 60-100mm 3 The patients were randomly divided into three groups according to tumor volume: group A (Negative Control), group B (High-MNH46686), and group C (Low-MNH46686). The drugs were given on the day of grouping. Group A (Negative Control) was given the negative control substance PBS-Cys (glycan), and group B (high-MNH46686) was given 10 -1 Dilution (8.2×10 8 CFU / mouse), group C (Low-MNH46686) was given 10 -2 Dilution (8.2×10 7 CFU / animal), administered by oral gavage, with a gavage volume of 0.2 mL / animal / time, and a dosing frequency of 1 day / time, for a total of 21 doses. General clinical observations were performed once a day during the trial. Animals were weighed upon receipt and at the end of the quarantine period; animals were weighed twice a week after tumor inoculation. Tumor diameter was measured once a day from D5 to grouping; and once every 2 days after grouping. When the average tumor volume in any group reached or exceeded 1000 mm 3The experiment can be terminated if the average tumor volume of any group from Group B to Group C is significantly smaller than that of Group A or the average tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) of the group reaches or exceeds 30%; or if the average tumor volume of any group of mice reaches or exceeds 2000mm 3 The experiment was terminated if the patient reached the endpoint. All surviving mice were dissected or euthanized at the endpoint, and tumor weight and volume were measured. Statistical analysis and comparison were performed using tumor volume curves, endpoint tumor volume, endpoint tumor weight, and endpoint tumor growth inhibition (TGI). TGI = 1 - (individual tumor volume - individual tumor volume at grouping) / (mean tumor volume of group A - mean tumor volume of group A at grouping) × 100%. All data are expressed as mean ± SD and analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 software. Comparisons between three or more groups were performed using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparisons test. Two-way ANOVA with Sidak's multiple comparisons was used for two-factor analysis. Significant differences are indicated by *, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
[0359] 1.2.2 Results of the experimental study on the efficacy of strain MNH46686 in lung cancer tumors
[0360] At the end of the experiment (D27), the surviving mice were dissected and the tumor tissues were weighed. The results are summarized in Table 14.
[0361] Table 14 Overall statistics of mice at the end of the experiment
[0362] During the experiment, except for erythema, scabs, tumor cavitation or low body temperature caused by the tumor, no other abnormalities were observed in all mice. At the end of the experiment, the statistical analysis results of the tumor volume curve of Group C (Low-MNH46686) were significantly smaller than those of Group A (Negative Control), and there were no significant differences between the other groups and Group A (as shown in Figure 26). At the end of the experiment (D27), the average tumor volume of Groups A to C was 1067.54 mm 3 、838.01mm3 and 561.50mm 3 , with average tumor weights of 1.39g, 1.18g, and 0.72g, respectively. At the endpoint, the tumor volumes and weights of Groups B through C compared with those of Group A are shown in Figures 27 and 28 . At the endpoint, the TGIs of Groups B through C were 23.00% and 50.30%, respectively. At the endpoint, the TGIs of Groups B through C compared with those of Group A are shown in Figure 30 . The response rates in Group A, Group B, and Group C were 22.22%, 33.33%, and 66.67%, respectively (Figure 30 ).
