Description

NUTRIENT COMPOSITION, FOOD INCLUDING THE SAME AND USE
OF THE NUTRIENT COMPOSITION
Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to the field of food. Specifically, the present invention relates to a nutrient composition for improving the brain development and intelligence of infants and young children, especially promoting neurodevelopment such as neuron maturation, synaptogenesis and myelination etc., a food containing the nutrient composition, and use of the nutrient composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a nutrient composition comprising human milk oligosaccharide (for example neurtral fucosylated human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) selected from the group consisting of 2'-fucosyl lactose (2'-FL), 3'-fucosyl lactose (3'-FL), lacto-N-fucopentaose I (LNFP I), lacto-N-difucohexaose I
(LNDFH
I), and lacto-N-difucohexaose II (LNDFH II), for example 2'-fucosyl lactose (2'-FL)), milk fat globule membrane, and taurine; food comprising the nutrient composition, and the use of said nutrient composition for non-curing purposes (i.e., non-medical purpose) of improving the brain development and intelligence of infants and young children, especially promoting the neurodevelopment of infants and young children.
Background of the Invention Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) were first discovered by Raff, and Miller et al. in 1993, and have been intensively studied. Central nervous systems, both under development and mature, contain oligodendroglia precursor cells. Myelin formed cells in the central nervous system originates from oligodendroglia precursor cells.
The types of mylin protein expressed by oligodendrocytes, such as myelin-associated glycopeptides (MAGs) and myelin binding proteins (MBPs), correlate to their phase of maturation. Myelinating OLs express MAG, with the expression of MAG gradually increasing during the maturation of OLs. MAG is a sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectin. Although MAG represents only a small Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 proportion of the total protein content of myelin sheaths, it is expressed mainly in the periaxonal regions of the myelin sheaths. It seems to play an important role in oligodendrocyte- axon interaction and mediates bidirectional signalling axons and OLs, in order to support the formation of the myelin sheaths. MBP is strongly expressed in mature myelinating OLs, and is one of the major components of myelin sheaths. MBP seems to have an active role in the formation and compaction of myelin sheaths. Indeed, MBP is polymerizing and forming a cohesive mesh-like protein network, which is essential for saltatory current.
Brain development is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Amongst the latter, maternal and early-life nutrition play a key role in the process of neurodevelopment such as neuron maturation, synaptogenesis and myelination.
Myelination is the process by which the oligodendrocyte (OL) in the central nervous system (CNS) form a myelin sheath around axons, which is critical for proper brain connectivity. In humans, myelination starts at mid-gestation, peaks during the first years of life. Environmental factors might influence myelination during human brain development. Specifically, different nutients exhibit different influence on myelination, suggesting that early-life nutrition might be of importance for the regulation of myelination.
During development of central nervous system, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) migrate from within the cortex, and will generate the adult population of oligodendrocytes (OLs). After mitosis, OPCs differentiate into myelinating OLs.
These OLs extend numberous processes to establish contacts with axons from different neurons to initiate myelination, which process enhances neuronal connectivity and supports the maturation of emerging cognitive function.
In the central nervous system, each step during myelination, including proliferation of OPCs, differentiation and maturation of OPCs into myelinating OLs, as well as myelin sheath formation is highly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors.
2 Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 Particularly, various nutrients show different influences on myelination, suggesting that early-life nutrition might be of importance for the regulation of myelination.
Therefore, identification of myelination-supporting early-life nutrition factors is of critical importance for optimal brain and cognition development.
There is a need for providing a composition which enables improving the brain development and intelligence of infants and young children, especially promoting neurodevelopment such as neuron maturation, synaptogenesis and myelination.
Summary of the Invention One object of the present incention is to provide a composition which enables improving the brain development and intelligence of infants and young children, especially promoting neurodevelopment such as neuron maturation, synaptogenesis and myelination.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a food containing the nutrient composition.

The inventors have conducted studies and discovered that neurodevelopment such as neuron maturation, synaptogenesis and myelination can be significantly promoted and brain development and intelligence can be improved, by the use of human milk oligosaccharide (for example neurtral fucosylated human milk oligosaccharide

1.2 Experimental Method 1.2.1 Acquisition of nerve primary cells All experiments were approved by ethics, and the primary mixed culture of neurons Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 and OL were carried out according to the following steps. Briefly, the forebrain of newborn rats and mice were dissociated with trypsin (Trypsin EDTA 1X, PAN
BIOTECH) at 37 C for 20 minutes. After addition of Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (DMEM, PAN BIOTECH) containing DNAase I Grade 11 (0.1 mg/ml, PAN
BIOTECH) and 10% fetal bovine serum (FCS, GIBCO), the reaction was stopped.
The cells were mechanically separated three times through a 10 ml pipette, and then centrifuged at 4 C under 515g for 10 minutes.
Living cells were inoculated in 96-well plates (20000/well), which were pre-coated with poly-L-lysine (BD Falcon) and laminin (Sigma). The culture medium consists of Neurobasal (GIBCO) added with 2% B27 (GIBCO), 2 mM L-glutamine (L Glu, PAN BIOTECH), 2% P/S solution (PAN BIOTECH), 1% FCS and 10 ng/ml platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-AA, PAN BIOTECH). The 96-well plates are stored in a humidified incubator at a temperature of 37 C and with an environment of air (95%) - CO2 (5%).
1.2.2 Nerve cell culture A same number of cells were placed on 48-well plates, and then incubated for 12, 18 or 30 DIVs. Half of the medium were replaced every other day. A mixture or separate nutrition were added to the fresh medium (the nutrient composition prepared above, containing 2'-FL, taurine and/or milk fat global membrane).
1.2.3 Immunohistochemical experiment After 12, 18 and 30 DIVs, the cells were fixed with a cold mixture of 95%
ethanol and acetic acid (5%) for 5 minutes. The non-specific sites were then blocked for 15 minutes at room temperature with a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing 0.1% saponin (Sigma) and 1% FCS (GIBCO).
At 12 DIVs, nerve cells were co-incubated with mouse monoclonal antibody A2B5 (dilution: 1/200, Millipore, MAB312RX) at room temperature for 2h, and then co-Date Recue/Date Received 2022-12-12 incubated with neurofilament antibody (dilution: 1/500, Sigma, N4142) at room temperature for 2h. Finally, a secondary goat anti-rabbit antibody (diluted 1/400, SIGMA, 5AB460084) was used to co-incubate at room temperature for 1 h.
At 18 DIVs, nerve cells were co-incubated with mouse monoclonal antibody MAG
(dilution: 1/400, Millipore, MAB1567) and neurofilament protein antibody (dilution:
1/500, Sigma, N4142) for 2h. Then a secondary goat anti-rabbit antibody (dilution:
1/400, Sigma, 5AB4600042) and a secondary goat anti-rabbit antibody (dilution:

1/400, SIGMA, 5AB4600084) were used to co-incubate at room temperature for lh.
At 30 DIVs, nerve cells were co-incubated with mouse monoclonal antibody MBP
(dilution: 1/1000, Novus, NBP1-05204) and neurofilament protein antibody (dilution: 1/500, Sigma, N4142) for 2 hours. Then a secondary goat anti-mouse antibody (dilution: 1/800, Sigma, 5AB4600042) and a secondary goat anti-rabbit antibody (dilution: 1/400, SIGMA, 5AB4600084) were used to co-incubate at room temperature for lh.
1.2.4 Microscrope imaging ImageXpress equipped with LED lights (360/480/565 for excitation and 460/535/620 for emission) is used for 20x amplification. All images are acquired using the same settings.
Under the condition of 12 DIVs, the number of OPC was calculated by quantifying the number of A2B5 expressing cells, and the result was expressed as the average number of A2B5 expressing cells per image and per well.
The differentiation of OPC into OL was evaluated by counting the number of MAG

positive cells in cell culture. The results were expressed as the average number of cells per image and per well. The morphological maturity of MAG positive cells were assessed by measuring the average surface area of MAG positive cells in Date Recue/Date Received 2022-12-12 DIV wells ( M/image/well).
At 30 DIVs, the maturity of OL was estimated by calculating the number of MBP
positive cells (average number of cells per imge, per well) and the average surface area of MBP positive cells at 30 DIVs ( M, per image, per well).
1.3 cell experiment grouping Cells were inoculated on a 96-well plate and cultured for a certain period of time.
Half of the culture medium was replaced every other day. Varying concentrations of mixed or separate 2'-FL mixtures were added to the special culture medium for fresh primary cells (added on day 12, 18 and 30, respectively). 6 replicas for each sample.
Oleoxime (300 nM, proved to accelerate OL maturation and myelination in vitro and in vivo) was taken as the positive control. The blank control group, positive control group and sample intervention group were compared, respectively. The effects of milk fat global membrane, 2'-FL and taurine, alone or in mixture, on OPC
population, OL maturation and differentiation, myelin formation and neurite growth was determined by immunohistochemistry (MBP, NF, A2B5). See Table 2 below for specific experimental dosage.

+taurine N.B.: * p < 0.05, in comparison with the blank control group, ** p < 0.01, in comparison with the blank control group The results of sample treatment showed that 2'- FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine could increase the number of A2B5 positive cells when used alone, relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), which indicates that these three constituents help the proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell when used alone.
However, the inventors discovered that when any two of the three components were used in combination, there was a strong antagonism.
In particular, it can be seen according to cell experiment examples 13-15 that:
- In terms of components used and the amount of the components used, cell Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 experiment example 13 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 12. Relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4 and 12 increase the number of A2B5 positive cells by 39.33 and 59 respectively, while cell experiment example 13 increases the number of A2B5 positive cells by 28.83, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (98.33) (the difference from the sum of the former two being A1=69.5), but also less than either one of the former two.
- Cell experiment example 14 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 6. However, relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4 and 6 increase the number of A2B5 positive cells by 39.33 and 51.33 respectively, while cell experiment example 14 increases the number of A2B5 positive cells by 24, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (90.66) (the difference from the sum of the former two being A2=66.66), but also less than either one of the former two.
- Cell experiment example 15 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 6 and 12. However, relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 6 and 12 increase the number of A2B5 positive cells by 51.33 and 59 respectively, while cell experiment example 15 increases the number of A2B5 positive cells by 26.83, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (110.33) (the difference from the sum of the former two being A3=83.5), but also less than either one of the former two.
This indicates that when any two of 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine are used in combination, there is a strong antagonism in terms of the number of positive cells and thus the proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and the effect of their use in combination is less than that of any one of the components when it is used alone.
Moreover, the inventors found that when the three of 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine are used in combination, a significant reduction in inter-Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 component antagonism, and a synergistic increase in the number of A2B5 positive cells and thus the proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells are enabled.
In particular, cell experiment example 18 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 5, 8 and 12 in terms of the components used and the amount of components used. With respect to cell experiment example 1, cell experiment examples 5, 8, 12 and 18 increase the number of A2B5 positive cells by 18.33, -10.34, 59 and 141.33 respectively. The increment realized in cell experiment example 18 (141.33) is greater than the sum of the former three (66.99).
In addition, in terms of the components used and the amount of components used, cell experiment example 21 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 6 and 13, or the combination of cell experiment examples 12 and 14, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 15, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 12. Compared with blank control group (cell experiment example 1), - Cell experiment example 21 increased the number ofA2B5 positive cells by 146.47, - cell experiment examples 6 and 13 increased the number of A2B5 positive cells by 51.33 and 28.33 respectively, with a sum of 80.16, which is less than the increment realized in cell experiment example 21 (146.47), - cell experiment examples 12 and 14 increased the number of A2B5 positive cells by 59 and 24 respectively, with a sum of 83, which is less than the increment realized in cell experiment example 21 (146.47), - cell experiment examples 4 and 15 increased the number of A2B5 positive cells by 39.33 and 26.83 respectively, with a sum of 66.16, which is less than the increment realized in cell experiment example 21 (146.47), - cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 12 increased the number of A2B5 positive cells by 39.33, 51.33 and 59 respectively, with a sum of 149.66, which is slightly greater than the increment realized in cell experiment example 21 (146.47), with a difference of A4=3.19, which is far less than the difference A1=69.5, A2=66.66, and A3=83.5.

Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 In addition, cell experiment example 22 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 9 and 14, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 9, in terms of the components used and the amount of the components used.
Relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4, 6, 9, 14 and 22 increase the number of A2B5 positive cells by 39.33, 51.33, 7.39, 24 and 129.54 respectively. The increment realized in cell experiment example 22 (129.54) is greater than the sum of the respective increments of cell experiment examples 9 and 14 (31.39), and is also greater than the sum of the respective increments of cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 9 (98.05).
In addition, cell experiment example 23 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 7 and 13, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4, 7 and 12, in terms of components used and the amount of the components used.
Relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4, 7, 12, 13 and 23 increase the number of A2B5 positive cells by 39.33, 14.66, 59, 28.83 and 138.55 respectively. The increment realized in cell experiment example 23 (138.55) is greater than the sum of the respective increments of cell experiment examples 7 and 13 (43.49), and greater than the sum of the respective increments of cell experiment examples 4, 7 and 12 (112.99).
Thus, it can be seen that when the three of 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine are used in combination, a significantly reduction in inter-component antagonism is enabled. There is a synergistic effect among the three components, which can synergistically increase the number of A2B5 positive cells and thus the proliferation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells.

N.B.: * p < 0.05, in comparison with the blank control group, ** p < 0.01, in comparison with the blank control group The results of sample processing showed that all of 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine could increase the number of MAG positive cells when used alone, compared with blank control group (cell experiment example 1), which indicates that these three components, when used alone, help the myelination of oligodendrocyte precursor cell.
However, the inventors found that when any two of the three components were used in combination, there was a strong antagonism.
In particular, it can be seen from cell experiment examples 13-15 that:
- In terms of the components used and the amount of the components used, cell experiment example 13 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 12. Relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4 and 12 increase the number of MAG positive cells by 35.66 and 44.66 respectively, while cell experiment example 13 increases the number of MAG positive cells by 29.83, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (80.32) (the difference from the sum of the former two A1=50.49), but also less than either of the former two.
- Cell experment example 14 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 6. However, relative to the blank control group (cell experiment Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 example 1), cell experiment example 4 and 6 increase the number of MAG
positive cells by 35.66 and 29.66 respectively, while cell experiment example 14 increases the number of MAG positive cells by 25.83, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (65.32) (the difference from the sum ofthe former two A2=39.49), but also less than either of the former two.
- Cell experiment example 15 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 6 and 12. However, relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 6 and 12 increase the number of MAG
positive cells by 29.66 and 44.66 respectively, while cell experiment example
15 increases the number of MAG positive cells by 25.66, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (74.32) (the difference from the sum of the former two A3=48.66), but also smaller than either of the former two.
This indicates that when any two of 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine are used in combination, there is a strong antagonistm in terms of the number of MAG
positive cells and thus the myelination (differentiation into oligodendrocyte OL) of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and the effect of the use in combination is smaller than that of any one of the components when used alone.
Furthermore, the inventors found that when 2'- FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine are used in combination, a significant reduction in inter-component antagonism, and a synergistic increase in the number of MAG positive cells and thus oligodendrocyte precursor cell myelination are enabled.
In particular, cell experiment example 18 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 5, 8 and 12 in terms of the components used and the amount of the components used. Compared with cell experiment example 1, cell experiment examples 5,8, 12 and 18 increase the number of MAG positive cells by 21.33, 1.66, 44.66 and 70 respectively. The increment in the number of MAG positive cells in cell experiment example 18 (70) is greater than the sum of the former three (67.65).
Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 In addition, in terms of the components used and the amount of the components used, cell experiment example 21 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 6 and 13, or the combination of cell experiment examples 12 and 14, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 15, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 12. Compared with blank control group (cell experiment example 1):
- Cell experiment example 21 increased the number of MAG positive cells by 87.87, - Cell experiment examples 6 and 13 increased the number of MAG positive cells by 29.66 and 29.83 respectively, with a sum of 59.49, which is less than the increment realized in cell experiment example 21 (87.87), - Cell experiment examples 12 and 14 increased the number of MAG positive cells by 44.66 and 25.83 respectively, with a sum of 70.49, which is less than the increment realized in cell experiment example 21 (87.87), - Cell experiment examples 4 and 15 increased the number of MAG positive cells by 35.66 and 25.66 respectively, with a sum of 61.32, which is less than the increment realized in cell experiment example 21 (87.87), - Cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 12 increased the number of MAG positive cells by 35.66, 29.66 and 44.66 respectively, with a sum of 109.98, slightly greater than the increment of 87.87 realized in cell experiment example 21, with a difference therebetween A4=22.11, far less than the difference A1=50.49, A2=39.49, and A3=48.66.
In addition, cell experiment example 22 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 9 and 14, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 9, in terms of components used and the amount of the components used.
Relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4, 6, 9, 14 and 22 increase the number of MAG positive cells by 35.66, 29.66, 17.34, 25.83 and 80.63 respectively. The imcrement in the number of MAG positive cells .. in cell experiment example 22 (80.63) is greater than the sum of the respective Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 increment in cell experiment examples 9 and 14 (43.17), which is slightly less than the sum of the respective increments of cell experiment examples 4, 6 and 9 (82.66) (a difference therebetween of A5=2.03, far less than the difference A2=39.49).
In addition, cell experiment example 23 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment example 7 and 13, or the combination of cell experiment examples 4, and 12, in terms of components used and the amount of the components used.
Relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4, 7, 12, 13 and 23 increase the number of MAG positive cells by 35.66, 18, 44.66, 29.83 and 83.69 respectively. The increment in the number of MAG
positive cells in cell experiment example 23 (83.69) is greater than the sum of the respective increments in cell experiment examples 7 and 13 (47.83), which is slightly less than the sum of the respective increments of cell experiment examples 4, 7 and 12 (98.32) (a difference therebetween of A6=14.46, far less than the difference A1=50.49).
Thus, it can be seen that when 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine are used in combination, the inter-component antagonism is significantly reduced. There is a synergistic effect among the three components, which can synergistically increase the number of MAG positive cells and therefore myelination of oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
2.3 Effects of various samples on OPC cell maturation In order to measure the effect of mixed nutrition or single nutrition treatment on OPC cell maturation, we evaluated the number of MBP positive cells after 30DIVs.
The measured average number of MBP positive cells per well is shown in Table 5.

N.B.: * p < 0.05, in comparison with the blank control group, ** p < 0.01, in comparison with the blank control group The sample treatment results showed that, relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), each one of 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane, and taurine, when used alone, can increase the number of MBP positive cells, which indicates that these three ingredients, when used alone, can contribute to the maturation of the oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
However, the inventors found that when any two of the three components were used together, there was a strong antagonism.

Date Regue/Date Received 2022-12-12 In particular, according to cell experiment examples 13-15, it can be seen that:
- In terms of the components used and the amount of the components used, cell experiment example 13 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 12. Relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4 and 12 increase the number of MBP positive cells by 42.34 and 47 respectively, while cell experiment example 13 increases the number of MBP
positive cells by 23, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (89.34) (the difference from the sum of the former two A1=66.34), but also less than either of the former two.
- Cell experiment example 14 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 4 and 6. However, compared with the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 4 and 6 increase the number of MBP
positive cells by 42.34 and 44.34 respectively, while cell experiment example 14 increases the number of MBP positive cells by 20.17, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (86.68) (the difference from the sum of the former two A2=66.51), but also less than either of the former two.
- Cell experiment example 15 is equivalent to the combination of cell experiment examples 6 and 12. However, relative to the blank control group (cell experiment example 1), cell experiment examples 6 and 12 increase the number ofMBP
positive cells by 44.34 and 47 respectively, while cell experiment example 15 increases the number of MBP positive cells by 21.67, which is not only far less than the sum of the former two (91.34) (the difference from the sum of the former two A3=69.67), but also less than either of the former two.
This indicates that when any two of 2'-FL, milk fat global membrane and taurine are used in combination, there is a strong antagonism in terms of the number of MBP
positive cells and thus the maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and the effect of their use in combination is less than that when any one of the components is used alone.

It is found that during the development of central nervous system, extracellular environment plays an important role in regulating brain homeostasis and controlling myelin formation and other cellular mechanisms. Deficiency of key nutrients will significantly affect brain development. Our research shows that in in vitro models, brain cell cultures treated with a combination of 2'-FL, milk fat globle membrane and taurine increase OPC numbers, differentiation or maturion into OL, and the myelination characteristics of OL. There is a good inter-component synergistic effect.
