Description

本発明は、種々の生物学的活性を有する乳酸菌の1種であるラクトバシラス・カゼイ 亜種 カゼイ(Lactobacillus casei subsp.casei)(以下、「L.casei subsp.casei」と略記する。)を選択的に増殖させるための、デキストランを含む菌増殖促進用組成物、及び、さらにL.casei subsp.caseiを含む該菌増殖促進用組成物に関する。より具体的には、本発明は該菌増殖促進用組成物を含む生物学的活性を高めるための医薬組成物、並びに該菌増殖促進用組成物を含む生物学的活性を高めるための健康用食品及び飼料に関する。   In the present invention, Lactobacillus casei subsp. Casei (hereinafter abbreviated as “L. casei subsp. Casei”), which is one of lactic acid bacteria having various biological activities, is selectively used. And a composition for promoting bacterial growth containing dextran, and L. casei subsp. The present invention relates to a composition for promoting bacterial growth comprising casei. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for enhancing biological activity containing the composition for promoting bacterial growth, and for health use for enhancing biological activity containing the composition for promoting bacterial growth. It relates to food and feed.

近年プロバイオティックスと呼ばれ、生きた乳酸菌等の有用微生物からなる「微生物製剤」を整腸効果や感染症の防止、免疫賦活等を目的として摂取することが注目されている。しかしながら、その有用微生物がヒトや動物等の腸内で生育・定着できるかが疑問視されている。有用微生物が腸内で生育・定着できなければ、期待されるその有用微生物の持つ生物学的活性が持続的に得られないことになる。それを補うための対策としては、その微生物製剤を随時補給する事が提唱・実行されているのが実情である。一方、プロバイオティックスに含まれる有用微生物が資化できるオリゴ糖等をプレバイオティックスと呼び、またそれをプロバイオティックスと一緒にしたものをシンバイオティックスと呼び、それらもまた、上記目的のために、ヒトや動物等に投与されている。しかしながら、そのプレバイオティックスがかなり多くの目的とする菌以外の腸内細菌に資化される場合には、腸内でそのプレバイオティックスの奪い合いになり目的の有用微生物を選択的に生育・定着させることは難しい。   In recent years, it is called probiotics, and it has attracted attention to take “microbe preparations” composed of useful microorganisms such as live lactic acid bacteria for the purpose of intestinal regulation, prevention of infectious diseases, immune activation, and the like. However, it has been questioned whether the useful microorganisms can grow and settle in the intestines of humans and animals. If useful microorganisms cannot grow and settle in the intestines, the expected biological activity of the useful microorganisms cannot be obtained continuously. As a countermeasure to compensate for this, the fact is that it is advocated and implemented to replenish the microorganism preparations as needed. On the other hand, oligosaccharides, etc. that can be assimilated by useful microorganisms contained in probiotics are called prebiotics, and those that are combined with probiotics are called symbiotics. It is administered to humans and animals. However, if the prebiotics are assimilated by a number of enteric bacteria other than the target fungus, the prebiotics compete with each other in the intestine to selectively grow and establish the desired useful microorganisms. It is difficult to let

本発明は、プロバイオティックスと呼ばれている有用微生物をヒトや動物等に摂取させた後に、これらの有用微生物を随時補給しなくても、腸内で選択的に発育増殖・定着させることで、また腸内に常在する有用微生物を腸内で選択的に発育増殖させることで、有用微生物由来の種々の生物学的活性を生体内で持続させることを課題とする。   The present invention allows humans and animals to ingest useful microorganisms called probiotics, and then selectively grows, proliferates and settles in the intestine without supplementing these useful microorganisms as needed. Another object of the present invention is to sustain various biological activities derived from useful microorganisms in vivo by selectively growing and proliferating useful microorganisms resident in the intestine.

本願発明者らは、数ある有用微生物の中で、デキストランを資化して発育増殖することが出来る菌種として、L.casei subsp.caseiを生体外(in vitro)試験において見出した。そのL.casei subsp.caseiは、アプルーブドリスト(Approved Lists)(1980)において分類・命名されているものである。この菌はヒトや動物等の腸内にも常在するグラム陽性の通性嫌気性桿菌であり、他の菌と共に腸内細菌叢を形成している。   Among the many useful microorganisms, the present inventors have identified L. cerevisiae as a bacterial species that can assimilate and grow dextran. casei subsp. casei was found in an in vitro test. The L. casei subsp. Casei is classified and named in the Approved Lists (1980). This bacterium is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobe that is also resident in the intestines of humans and animals and forms an intestinal flora together with other bacteria.

そこで、まず、この菌自体に生物学的活性、1例として皮下免疫の際の免疫賦活作用が存在するかどうかを確認したところ、体液性免疫及び細胞性免疫を増強・維持することが分かった。次に、デキストランを経口摂取させることで、L.casei subsp.caseiをヒトや動物等の腸内で選択的に発育増殖・定着させ、その菌の有する生物学的活性を持続させることができるかどうかを確認するために、マウスを用いて初回のみにL.casei subsp.caseiを投与し、その後、デキストランをマウスに経口で継続的に摂取させたところ、本菌はデキストランを資化して腸内で発育増殖・定着し、その菌の有する生物学的活性、例えば、体液性免疫及び細胞性免疫を増強・維持することを生体内(in vivo)試験において見出すに至った。   Therefore, first, it was confirmed whether or not the bacterium itself has biological activity, for example, an immunostimulatory action in the case of subcutaneous immunity. As a result, it was found that humoral immunity and cellular immunity are enhanced and maintained. . Next, by ingesting dextran, L. casei subsp. In order to confirm whether casei can selectively grow, proliferate and settle in the intestines of humans, animals, etc., and maintain the biological activity of the fungus, L. casei is used only for the first time using a mouse. casei subsp. Casei was administered, and then dextran was continuously ingested orally by mice. As a result, this bacterium utilized dextran to grow, grow and settle in the intestine, and its biological activity, for example, body fluid It has been found in in vivo tests to enhance and maintain sexual immunity and cellular immunity.

他方、デキストラン自身にも種々の生物学的活性を有することが知られているが、デキストラン単独投与に比べ、デキストランをL.casei subsp.caseiと併行投与した場合は、高い効果が維持され、相乗効果が大きい事が確認された。   On the other hand, dextran itself is known to have various biological activities. casei subsp. When co-administered with casei, it was confirmed that the high effect was maintained and the synergistic effect was large.

分子量(数平均)10,000のデキストラン(以下の実施例においても特に規定しない場合はこの分子量のデキストランを用いる)を0.5%添加したPYF培地(ペプトンイーストエキストラクトフィルデス液体培地)(Peptone yeast extract Fildes solution broth)に各種腸内関連細菌を接種し、デキストランの資化性を調べた。その結果、L.casei subsp.caseiの2株(JCM1134及びJCM8129)でデキストランの資化性を確認することができた。しかし、他のLactobacillus属やビフィドバクテリウム(Bifidobacterium)属等の乳酸菌、及び、その他の腸内関連細菌に関しては、デキストランの資化性は見られなかった。(表1参照)
<Example 2> Dextran utilization test of enterobacteria 0.5% of dextran having a molecular weight (number average) of 10,000 (use dextran having this molecular weight unless otherwise specified) is added. Various intestinal related bacteria were inoculated into PYF medium (Peptone yeast extract field fluid solution), and the utilization of dextran was examined. As a result, L. casei subsp. The utilization of dextran could be confirmed in two strains of casei (JCM1134 and JCM8129). However, lactic acid bacteria such as other Lactobacillus genus and Bifidobacterium genus and other intestinal related bacteria were not assimilated by dextran. (See Table 1)

更に、L.casei subsp.caseiの2株でデキストランの分子量の違いによる資化性を調べた。その結果、試験に供した全ての分子量のデキストランでデキストランの資化性を確認することができた。しかし、分子量が小さい方が資化されやすい傾向があった。(表2参照)   In addition, L. casei subsp. The assimilation by the difference in the molecular weight of dextran was examined in two strains of casei. As a result, it was possible to confirm the utilization of dextran with dextran having all the molecular weights used in the test. However, the lower molecular weight tended to be assimilated. (See Table 2)
