Description

Modified bacteria and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and particularly relates to a modified bacterium, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Bacteria have long been used for treating tumors, but until the 90 th century, bacillus calmette-guerin is used for treating bladder cancer of people, and bacteria therapy is not introduced into the public field, and in recent years, attenuated bacteria such as attenuated salmonella, attenuated listeria and the like are gradually developed for treating different tumors, and the bacteria therapy of tumors is also an extension therapy of immunotherapy, and immune response is initiated by the stimulation of bacteria, namely heterologous foreign substances, so that tumor growth is further inhibited. However, most of the currently used strains are live bacteria after attenuated treatment, and have higher risks in clinical use, a narrower safety window, and inactivated bacteria cannot achieve the due immunostimulation effect, so that the current tumor bacterial therapy is difficult to realize effective treatment under a safe dosage as a whole.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a modified bacterium, a preparation method and application thereof, and the modified bacterium has good safety and good immune stimulation effect when being used for preparing a tumor therapeutic preparation.
According to the invention, after metal ions are mixed with living bacteria or inactivated bacteria (attenuated salmonella is initially used), the pH value of the solution is regulated to be slightly alkaline, insoluble or indissoluble metal ion compounds can be attached to the surface of the bacteria to form modified bacteria, the modified bacteria are injected into a tumor model of a mouse in an intratumoral injection mode, the effect of inhibiting tumor growth can be achieved, and further mechanism researches show that the modified bacteria cause antitumor immune response of a body after in-situ injection, so that the effect of tumor treatment is achieved. When divalent metal ions are placed in alkaline conditions, hydroxides are extremely easy to form and precipitate, the bacterial surface serves as a typical solid-liquid interface, nucleation centers of precipitates can be provided, the precipitation of the hydroxides is further promoted, after the hydroxides are precipitated on the bacterial surface, the hydroxides are converted into more stable oxides again, and an oxide adhesion layer is formed on the bacterial surface along with continuous precipitation and conversion of the hydroxides, so that the inactivated bacteria modified by the metal compounds are obtained. The deposition reaction is that after some metal ion salts are mixed with bacteria and the like, corresponding anions are introduced, under the condition of proper pH, metal ions and anions form indissolvable or insoluble metal compounds and are attached to the surfaces of the bacteria, under the condition of sufficient stirring, target products can be continuously settled on the surfaces of the bacteria in the liquid, and finally, the bacteria attached with the metal compounds form uniform and stable suspension.

The results show that a large amount of solids are adhered to the surface of the bacteria modified by the metal compound, excessive solid substances are not remained in the environment, and the morphology of the bacteria adhered with different metal compounds is changed according to the different crystal forms of the metal compounds, so that the metal compounds adhere to the surface of the bacteria to form a coating in the preparation process.
Example A5: preparation of modified other bacteria
Bacterial suspensions of E.coli (F.E), staphylococcus aureus (F.SA), salmonella VPN20009 (F.V), lactobacillus (F.L) were prepared according to the steps S1-S2 of any of examples A1-A3, followed by modification of the surface metal compounds, in particular:

Example B: cell experiment
Example B1: cell relative Activity of CT26 cells (mouse colon cancer cell line) after incubation with different samples
CT26 cells were cultured at 10 4 The density of each hole is inoculated in a 96-well plate, the cell culture box is used for culturing overnight at 37 ℃, and when the cell is attached and the state is good, different concentrations are addedThe different samples prepared in examples A1-A3, wherein the bacteria were inactivated attenuated salmonella, were co-incubated at 37 ℃. Bacteria modified with different metal compounds, corresponding to metal compound concentrations of 1 μg/mL, 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, 20 μg/mL, 40 μg/mL, the total amount of bacteria in the non-modified bacterial group being the same as the total amount of modified bacteria. After 12 hours incubation, the medium containing the sample was removed, excess sample was washed off with PBS, and the relative activity of the cells was measured by MTT assay, as shown in FIG. 3 (data for each concentration, from left to right: F.S, mnS@F.S, cuS@F.S, cu (OH) 2@F.S,ZnS@F.S,Fe (OH) 3@F.S,ZnCO3@F.S). At low concentrations, the modified bacteria did not show higher cytotoxicity, cells incubated with the modified bacteria still had more than 80% activity, with increasing concentrations, the effect on the relative activity of the cells was gradually shown, and when the concentration reached 40 μg/mL, the cell activity was still greater than 50%. The modified bacteria have high safety in a certain concentration range, and the safety is related to the use concentration.
Example B2: experiments of different samples to stimulate the maturation of myeloid-derived dendritic cells
DC cells are highly efficient antigen presenting cells in the body, differentiate into mature DC cells after being stimulated or ingested by certain factors, and the mature DC cells can effectively activate initial T cells, induce the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, secrete tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and the like, and play a key role in anti-tumor immune response. Therefore, samples that can effectively stimulate DC cell maturation can enhance the anti-tumor immune response of the body.
Bone Marrow-derived stem cells were extracted from C57BL/6 mouse Bone Marrow, colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was added to promote differentiation of stem cells into myeloid-derived dendritic cells (Bone Marrow-Derived Dendritic Cells, BMDCs), and BMDCs were isolated from different modified bacterial samples (the amount of bacteria in each sample was 3.6X10) 7 A plurality of; the corresponding bare metal compound content is 1.5-2.7 μg, and the same amount of the same metal compound as that of the bacterial group modified by the metal compound is contained in the rest group without bacteria, such as ZnS and ZnS@F.S groupEqual amounts of ZnS) were used to detect the maturation rate of BMDCs in different groups after 12 hours.
The statistical results of the maturation rate of BMDCs are shown in FIG. 4. Wherein each experimental group represents the addition of different substances to the cell culture medium, the specific substances are as follows:
blanc: blank control group;
F.S: an unmodified inactivated bacterium; znS: zinc sulfide suspension; znCO 3 : zinc carbonate suspension; fe (OH) 3 : an iron hydroxide colloid; cuS: copper sulfide suspension; cu (OH) 2 : copper hydroxide suspension; mnS: a manganese sulfide suspension;

Combining statistics of the maturation ratio of DC cells, it can be seen that the modified bacteria are better able to stimulate the maturation of BMDCs, most of the group results are significantly different from the blank control group (blank), and individual experimental groups even obtain results superior to those of the positive control group (2 mug/mL lipopolysaccharide, LPS), indicating that the modified bacteria of the invention have very excellent ability to stimulate the maturation of DC cells.
Example C: animal experiment
Example C1: treatment experiment of different metal compound modified bacteria on mouse colon cancer tumor model
Inoculating colon cancer tumor cells on the back of BALB/c mice to establish a tumor model, and after the tumor size is 120mm 3 On the left and right, groups of 6 mice each were randomized, with different groups of mice receiving treatment with bacteria modified with different metal compounds. Single treatment was performed by intratumoral injection. Wherein the bacterial dosage among the control groups is 1.8-10 10 Each bacterium/kg body weight, according to the difference of binding efficiency of each metal compound and bacterium, metallizationThe dosage of the compound is 0.75mg/kg-1.35mg/kg body weight, and the concentration of metal ions is 300 mug/mL-1.08 mg/mL. The tumor volume change was recorded and a tumor growth curve was prepared, the results are shown in fig. 5, and the survival rate of the mice, the tumor inhibition rate was calculated, the statistical conditions of the survival rate and the calculation results of the tumor inhibition rate are shown in table 1. When mice were subjected to treatment experiments with simple metal compounds (consistent with the metal compound dose in the bacterial group modified with such metal compounds, e.g. ZnS and ZnS@F.S, containing equal amounts of ZnS), some of the metal compounds exhibited some toxicity, which resulted in a slow increase in tumor volume at the initial stage, but failed to eradicate the tumor or inhibit the growth of the tumor at the later stage, no significant toxicity was exhibited, no significant tumor growth inhibition was produced, and no effective tumor treatment was seen on day 19 at a tumor inhibition rate of less than 20%.
Table 1: survival of mice treated with bacteria modified with different metal compounds and tumor inhibition at day 19 post-inoculation
Figure BDA0003332317680000091
The results in fig. 5 and table 1 show that bacteria modified with certain metal compounds can inhibit tumor growth, and after treatment with bacteria attached with different metal compounds, the tumor volume increase of mice is significantly slowed, the survival rate is significantly increased, up to 2/3 survival rate is achieved, and the tumor inhibition rate is substantially above 60%. Taken together, it has been demonstrated that the use of most of the metal compound-modified bacteria of the present invention can achieve tumor therapeutic effects, whereas Fe hydroxide-modified bacteria do not exhibit significant tumor inhibition, indicating which metal compound-modified bacteria have an inhibitory effect on tumor growth, and how to select metal compounds modified on the surface of the bacteria is unpredictable.
Example D: immune stimulation mechanism study of modified bacteria
Example D1: demonstration of activation of STING pathway by modified bacteria at the cellular level
The modified bacteria of the invention have a multi-channel stimulation effect, and the embodiment is designed by taking salmonella modified by manganese compounds (manganese dioxide) as an example, and other metal ions have corresponding immune stimulation mechanisms. In this example, cells (STING) containing a reporter gene regulated by the activation of STING pathway were used + ) After the STING channel of the cell is stimulated and activated, the expression of the reporter gene luciferase is activated, the luciferase substrate can be catalyzed to emit bioluminescence signals, and the bioluminescence signals are stronger when the STING activation degree is higher. The cells were respectively treated with manganese dioxide-modified bacteria (M@F.S) and manganese dioxide (MnO) 2 ) Salmonella (F.S), manganese chloride (Mn) 2+ ) After 24 hours of incubation, the Positive Control (PC) group was added with a luciferase substrate and the bioluminescence signal intensities were measured, and the bioluminescence signal intensities of all groups were respectively compared with the PBS group. Null cells are cells that do not express the STING pathway, and therefore cannot induce luciferase expression by activating the STING pathway, and incubation of the cells with different samples proves that the samples and reagents themselves in the experiment cannot interfere with bioluminescence signals or induce luciferase expression. Bioluminescence signal intensity ratio statistics as shown in fig. 6, STING pathway was significantly activated in cells incubated with modified bacteria compared to control group; the close level of STING activation compared to the Positive Control (PC) group suggests that the modified bacteria are able to activate STING pathways effectively.
Example D2: cell experiments prove that the modified bacteria can activate TLR4 channels
In this example, cells containing a reporter gene regulated by TLR4 pathway activation (TLR 4+ TLR4 positive cells) are used, and when TLR4 is stimulated to activate, the expression of the reporter gene luciferase is activated, which catalyzes the luciferase substrate to generate a bioluminescence signal. The cells were incubated with different samples (n=3). After incubation, the intensity of bioluminescence signals is detected after the luciferase substrate is added, and then ratios of the intensities of bioluminescence signals of all groups to the PBS group are respectively made, so that the activation degree of the TLR4 can be judged, and the higher the ratio is, the higher the activation degree of the TLR4 is. The TLR4 negative cells do not express TLR4, so that the TLR4 negative cells are not stimulated and express luciferase, bioluminescence does not occur after a luciferin substrate is added, and the group of cells proves that all reagents or samples used in the experiment cannot interfere with bioluminescence signals or induce luciferase expression.
The ratio of bioluminescence signal intensities of three parallel samples of different groups is shown in Table 2, and the positive control group is 3 mug/mL of MPLA which is incubated with cells, so that the TLR4 pathway stimulation effect is obvious. Wherein the modified bacteria (MnO) 2 @ F.S) was able to significantly stimulate TLR4 compared to the Blank control (Blank), as demonstrated by a fluorescence intensity ratio greater than 1; the modified bacteria showed stronger fluorescence intensity compared to the pure bacteria (F.S), indicating that the modified bacteria were better able to stimulate TLR4 pathways. The modified bacteria of the invention are described as having TLR 4-like effects.
Table 2: bioluminescence intensity ratio statistics table after adding luciferase substrate to different cell culture media
Figure BDA0003332317680000111
The activation of STING and TLR4 shows that the modified inactivated bacteria of the invention effectively activate the natural immune system, and help to relieve immunosuppression of the tumor microenvironment, thereby enhancing the anti-tumor immune response of the organism. Combining example D1 and example D2, the modified bacteria of the invention have the effect of a multichannel agonist, while enhancing the nonspecific immune response and the anti-tumor immune response, contributing to the synergistic anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Meanwhile, the same kind of tumor cells are inoculated again to the cured mice, the tumor survival condition of the mice is observed, the survival curve of the mice is shown in figure 7, the mice cured by the modified bacteria have no obvious cancer recurrence phenomenon after being inoculated with the tumor cells again, and the mice still have longer survival time, that is, the modified bacteria can inhibit the recurrence of the tumor, and the vaccine-like effect is produced.
