Embodiment
In this research, human peripheral's blood monocyte (PBMCs) that we use IFN γ to stimulate, to study the effect of fermented soybean extract (calling MS-20 in the following text) of the present invention for tryptophan degradation.Stimulate PBMC to bring out significant tryptophan catabolism with IFN γ, it can react on the parallel increase of Tryptophan concentration reduction and kynurenin concentration, compared to the cell without stimulation.Concurrently, the increase of cell survival is also observed.To increase the tryptophan degradation that dosage 0.5-4mg/mL (0.125%-1%) MS-20 process suppresses IFN γ to bring out through the PBMC that IFN γ stimulates significantly.These effects of MS-20 are dose-dependent.This one to analyze based on the IDO of cell and also carries out in the extra large holding class cervical cancer cell with higher interior raw IDO performance, and result also observes the identical suppression phenomenon via MS-20 in HeLa cell, IC
50for 1.8mg/mL.Suppress IDO also to confirm via enzymatic analysis by MS-20, obtain with based on the similar result (IC of cell analysis
50for 1.86mg/mL).These results confirm that the IDO that MS-20 brings out for IFN γ has inhibitory action.
1. MATERIALS METHODS
1.1. reagent
Cell strain purchased from American Type Tissue Culture center (ATCC) and the condition of culture routine maintenance according to suggestion.L-1MT (IDO inhibitor), L-Trp, L-kynurenin are purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.Mankind IFN γ, purchased from R & DSystems, stores according to manufacturer's recommendation and uses.
1.2IDO enzyme activity is analyzed
IDO determination of activity adopts colorimetry.In brief, by 2 × 10
6cell is by freezing and destruction of thawing, solute (250 μ L) is by centrifugal clarification, add equivalent 2 times of IDO buffer (100mM phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (PBS), pH is 6.5, containing 40mM ascorbic acid, the methylene blue of 20 μm, the L-Trp (Sigma-Aldrich of 200mg/ml catalase and 800 μm, St.Louis, MO)).After cultivating 30 minutes at 37 DEG C, 30% trichloroacetic acid adding 100 μ L, with cessation reaction, is cultivated 30 minutes more in addition at 52 DEG C, and centrifugal.By supernatant Ehrlich reagent (the p-dimethylbenzaldehyde of 100mg, 5mL glacial acetic acid) in micro titer plate well (96 hole form) mixed in equal amounts, make Color development 10 minutes, then read suction brightness in point luminance at 490nm.Sample reads at micro-plate analyser (BioTekSystems) with 490nm filter relative to blank reagent.The concentration of kynurenin corresponds to kynurenin standard curve and is calculated.
1.3 IDO based on cell analyze
Inhibitor activity is measured at mankind PBMC
Human peripheral's blood monocyte (PBMCs) is by the leukocyte cell concentrate (from blood bank obtain) of Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient separation from healthy volunteer.This is determined as follows and carries out: mankind PBMCs is with every hole 2 × 10
5density be inoculated in 96 well culture plates containing RPMI culture medium, RPMI contains 10% hyclone, 100 units per ml penicillins and streptomycin (GIBCO).The mankind IFN γ (R & DSystems) of 100ng/mL and MS-20 serial dilution are added into suitable hole, make every Kongzui final volume be 200 μ L culture medium.Containing 5%CO
2humidified incubator in, cultivate after 40-44 hour in 37 DEG C, collect the supernatant in the hole of repeating from three and preserved, for by the tryptophan of HPLC and kynurenin analysis.For remaining cell, carry out MTT cell survival assay, to measure the cell survival rate after various process.
1.4 measure inhibitor activity in the IDO/ kynurenin analysis based on HeLa cell
HeLa cell (#CCL-2) is from American Type Tissue Culture center (ATCC, Manassas, Virginia) obtain, and routine is maintained at DulbeccoShi improvement Eagle culture medium (DMEM), it contains 10% fetal bovine serum, the penicillin containing 100 units per ml and streptomycin (GIBCO).Cell is remained on 37 DEG C, supply 5%CO
2humidified incubator in.This is analyzed as follows and carries out: by HeLa cell with 5 × 10
3the density in every hole is seeded in 96 well culture plates, grow overnight.The next day, by the mankind IFN γ (R & DSystems) of 50ng/mL and the serial dilution of MS-20 or L-1MT, with every hole 200 μ L culture medium cumulative volume, join in cell.After extra 40-44 hour cultivates, collect the supernatant in the hole of repeating from three and preserved, for by the tryptophan of HPLC and kynurenin analysis.For remaining cell, carry out MTT cell survival assay, to measure cell survival rate.
1.5 by the tryptophan in HPLC analysis culture medium and kynurenin.
In order to measure IDO activity, use high-effect liquid chromatography (Highperformanceliquidchromatography) in the anti-phase tryptophan of measurement supernatant and the concentration of kynurenin, and calculating K yn/Tryp [5].
2. result
In the IDO based on cell analyzes, stimulate PBMC with IFN γ, the degraded observing tryptophan has lifting.Compared to undressed cell, the supernatant of the PBMC that IFN γ stimulates contains the concentration (P<0.001, table 1 and Fig. 1) of significantly lower tryptophan.In comparison, in the cell that IFN γ stimulates, kynurenine concentration significantly rises (P<0.001 does not show).Therefore, Kyn/Tryp ratio compares at the PBMC stimulated without IFN γ taller (P<0.001, table 1a and Fig. 1) at the PBMC that IFN γ stimulates.
With the MS-20 process cell of 0.5-4mg/mL (0.125%-1%), do not affect the tryptophan metabolism (data do not show) of resting cell.In comparison, at PBMC, stimulate with IFN γ and improve the degraded of tryptophan, the generation of kynurenine, and Kyn/Tryp ratio is subject to the impact (Fig. 2) of MS-20 with dose dependent fashion.At the extra large holding class cervical cancer cell that IFN γ activates, also observe the similar phenomenon (Fig. 3) suppressed by MS-20.Really, after HeLa cell is subject to the IFN γ of 50ng/mL to stimulate 40-42 hour, Tryptophan concentration in the medium drops to even lower than detection restriction (table 1b).L-1MT, a kind of IDO inhibitor, is tested abreast, to compare IDO inhibit activities.Suppress IDO also can obtain by IDO enzymatic analysis with MS-20 to confirm, result is similar to the analysis (Fig. 6 based on cell; IC50=1.86mg/mL).These results show, and MS-20 suppresses IDO active effectively.
The survival rate of MTT (cell survival rate) analysis result display PBMC increases (table 1a) under MS-20 exists, and the survival rate of HeLa cell is under MS-20 maximum concentration (4mg/mL), only there is slight reduction (20%).These are dose dependent (Fig. 4-5) in the change of the cell survival rate of PBMC and HeLa cell.Comprehensive descision it, to be reduced by MS-20 process viewed IDO activity and caused by unprovoked cell quantity or cell survival rate decline.
Table 1: at the supernatant of (1a) elementary mankind PBMCs or (1b) extra large holding class cervical cancer cell, in the situation of presence or absence MS-20 or L-1MT (IDO inhibitor), without stimulate or the tryptophan that stimulates with IFN γ and kynurenine concentration and kyn/Tryp ratio.
Salty letter those skilled in the art in the invention describing based on this paper, the present invention can be applied to its most extensive scope by illustration that need not be further.Therefore, should be appreciated that mentioned herein to describe and claims are for illustrating object but not limiting the category of the present invention by any way.
