Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antitumor agent using effective lactic acid bacteria.SOLUTION: A method of producing an antitumor agent comprises preparation of a heat-treated bacteria body showing enhanced tumor proliferation inhibitory effect by heating a Lactobacillus plantarum bacteria body at 60-80°C.

Description

本発明は、乳酸菌の加熱処理菌体を用いた抗腫瘍剤及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an antitumor agent using a heat-treated microbial cell and a method for producing the same.

乳酸菌などを用いた多くのプロバイオティクス製品やプレバイオティクス製品について抗腫瘍作用を有することが報告されている。経口投与での抗腫瘍効果が認められている乳酸菌製剤として、抗悪性腫瘍剤OK-432(商品名:ピシバニール)がよく知られている(非特許文献1)。OK-432は、ストレプトコッカス・ピオゲネス(Streptococcus pyogenes)AIII Su株をペニシリン及びH2O2処理後に凍結乾燥した製剤である。OK-432の胃がんを対象とした薬効投与量域は0.1〜2mg/ヒト個体/1回/日(一週間に1〜7回経口投与)でありその幅は約20倍と考えられている。 Many probiotic products and prebiotic products using lactic acid bacteria have been reported to have antitumor activity. An anti-neoplastic agent OK-432 (trade name: Picibanil) is well known as a lactic acid bacteria preparation that has been confirmed to have an antitumor effect by oral administration (Non-patent Document 1). OK-432 is a preparation obtained by freeze-drying Streptococcus pyogenes AIII Su strain after penicillin and H 2 O 2 treatment. The effective dose range of OK-432 for gastric cancer is 0.1-2 mg / human individual / day (1-7 times a week orally), and the width is considered to be about 20 times.

特許文献1には、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムCJLP 243株生菌体の凍結乾燥物をマウスに経口投与したことにより免疫増強されたことが開示され、その菌をアトピー、アレルギー、癌及び自己免疫疾患の予防又は治療に利用できる可能性が示唆されている。しかし、特許文献1では抗腫瘍効果は実証されていない。   Patent Document 1 discloses that immunization was enhanced by orally administering a lyophilized product of Lactobacillus plantarum CJLP 243 strain live cells to mice, and the bacteria were atopy, allergic, cancer and autoimmune diseases. It has been suggested that it may be used for the prevention or treatment of cancer. However, Patent Document 1 does not demonstrate an antitumor effect.

経口投与によって有効な抗腫瘍効果が得られることが判明している乳酸菌は多くはない。乳酸菌を用いた、経口投与でも高い抗腫瘍効果が得られる抗腫瘍剤の新たな製造方法の開発が求められている。   There are not many lactic acid bacteria that have been found to have effective antitumor effects by oral administration. Development of a new method for producing an antitumor agent using a lactic acid bacterium and capable of obtaining a high antitumor effect even by oral administration is required.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明は、ラクトバチルス・プランタラム(Lactobacillus plantarum)菌体を比較的低温で加熱処理することにより得られる増強された腫瘍増殖抑制効果を示す加熱処理菌体を含む抗腫瘍剤及びその製造方法を提供する。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The present invention relates to an antitumor agent comprising a heat-treated microbial cell having an enhanced tumor growth inhibitory effect obtained by heat-treating Lactobacillus plantarum microbial cells at a relatively low temperature, and a method for producing the same. provide.

本発明に係る抗腫瘍剤の製造には、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの菌体(細胞)を用いる。限定するものではないが、好適なラクトバチルス・プランタラム菌株としては、ラクトバチルス・プランタラム(Lactobacillus plantarum)ALAL006株が挙げられる。ラクトバチルス・プランタラム(Lactobacillus plantarum)ALAL006株は、2013年11月21日付で、独立行政法人 製品評価技術基盤機構 特許微生物寄託センター(日本国千葉県木更津市かずさ鎌足2-5-8 122号室)に、受領番号NITE ABP-01754の下でブタペスト条約に基づき国際寄託されている。   Lactobacillus plantarum cells (cells) are used for the production of the antitumor agent according to the present invention. Non-limiting examples of suitable Lactobacillus plantarum strains include Lactobacillus plantarum strain ALAL006. The Lactobacillus plantarum ALAL006 strain was issued on November 21, 2013, by the National Institute for Product Evaluation Technology Patent Microorganism Depositary Center (Kazusa Kamashi, Kisarazu City, Chiba, Japan, Room 2-5-8 122) ) Under the receipt number NITE ABP-01754 under the Budapest Treaty.

本発明では、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの腫瘍増殖抑制効果を増強するため、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの菌体を、比較的低温、具体的には60〜80℃、好ましくは65℃〜75℃、例えば68℃〜72℃で加熱する。ラクトバチルス・プランタラム菌体の加熱は、通常は上記の加熱温度で、5〜25分間、例えば10〜20分間行えばよいが、これらに限定するものではない。加熱処理は任意の方法で行うことができるが、例えば菌体を含む溶液を収容した容器を、溶液の温度が上記加熱温度で維持されるように湯浴中で加温してもよい。   In the present invention, in order to enhance the tumor growth inhibitory effect of Lactobacillus plantarum, the cells of Lactobacillus plantarum are relatively low temperature, specifically 60-80 ° C, preferably 65 ° C-75 ° C, For example, heating is performed at 68 ° C to 72 ° C. The Lactobacillus plantarum cells may be heated usually at the above heating temperature for 5 to 25 minutes, for example, 10 to 20 minutes, but is not limited thereto. The heat treatment can be performed by any method. For example, a container containing a solution containing bacterial cells may be heated in a hot water bath so that the temperature of the solution is maintained at the heating temperature.

ラクトバチルス・プランタラムは、上記の加熱処理前に培養してもよい。ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの培養は、通常の培養条件に従って実施することができる。培養には、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムを始めとする乳酸菌の培養に用いられる様々な培地を用いて行うことができる。そのような培地としては、例えば、MRS(de MAN, ROGOSA, SHARPE)培地、LBS培地、APT培地、トマトジュース寒天培地、牛乳培地、豆乳培地などが挙げられるが、これらに限定されない。培養は、以下に限定するものではないが、例えば、25〜45℃、好ましくは30〜40℃、例えば35〜39℃で好適に行うことができる。培養時間は、特に限定されないが、例えば5〜30時間行うことができる。   Lactobacillus plantarum may be cultured before the above heat treatment. Cultivation of Lactobacillus plantarum can be performed according to normal culture conditions. The culture can be performed using various media used for culturing lactic acid bacteria including Lactobacillus plantarum. Examples of such a medium include, but are not limited to, MRS (de MAN, ROGOSA, SHARPE) medium, LBS medium, APT medium, tomato juice agar medium, milk medium, and soy milk medium. Although culture is not limited to the following, it can be suitably performed, for example, at 25 to 45 ° C, preferably 30 to 40 ° C, such as 35 to 39 ° C. The culture time is not particularly limited, and can be performed, for example, for 5 to 30 hours.

培養後、培養液からラクトバチルス・プランタラムの菌体を回収し、生理食塩水等により洗浄した後に、加熱処理を行うことが好ましい。洗浄後の菌体を水や生理食塩水等に懸濁し、その懸濁液を加熱処理に供してもよい。   After culturing, it is preferable to recover the cells of Lactobacillus plantarum from the culture solution, wash with physiological saline, and then perform heat treatment. The washed cells may be suspended in water, physiological saline or the like, and the suspension may be subjected to heat treatment.

加熱処理後の菌体(又は菌体懸濁液)は、そのまま抗腫瘍剤に使用してもよいが、さらに乾燥させてから抗腫瘍剤に使用してもよい。乾燥は、凍結乾燥、減圧乾燥、風乾等の任意の乾燥法を用いて行うことができる。但し乾燥時の温度は上記加熱処理の温度(例えば60〜80℃)を超えないか又は下回ることが好ましい。乾燥は、非加熱条件下での乾燥がより好ましく、凍結乾燥がさらに好ましい。加熱処理後の菌体や乾燥させた加熱処理菌体については、さらに粉砕、顆粒化等の処理を施してもよい。   The cells (or cell suspension) after the heat treatment may be used as it is for an antitumor agent, but may be further dried before being used for an antitumor agent. Drying can be performed using any drying method such as freeze-drying, vacuum drying, and air drying. However, it is preferable that the temperature during drying does not exceed or falls below the temperature of the heat treatment (for example, 60 to 80 ° C.). As for drying, drying under non-heating conditions is more preferable, and freeze-drying is more preferable. The cells after the heat treatment and the dried heat-treated cells may be further subjected to treatment such as pulverization and granulation.

以上のようにして調製される、加熱処理を施した菌体又はそれに由来する組成物を、本発明では「加熱処理菌体」と称する。この加熱処理菌体は、通常は加熱死菌体である。本発明に係る加熱処理菌体は、強い腫瘍増殖抑制効果を示すことから、抗腫瘍剤に使用することができる。したがって本発明は、ラクトバチルス・プランタラム菌体を上記のように加熱することにより、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体を調製することを含む、抗腫瘍剤を製造する方法も提供する。本発明はまた、そのような方法によって製造される、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体を含む抗腫瘍剤も提供する。   In the present invention, the microbial cells subjected to heat treatment or a composition derived therefrom are referred to as “heat-treated microbial cells” prepared as described above. This heat-treated cell is usually a heat-killed cell. Since the heat-treated microbial cell according to the present invention exhibits a strong tumor growth inhibitory effect, it can be used as an antitumor agent. Therefore, the present invention also provides a method for producing an antitumor agent, which comprises preparing a heat-treated cell of Lactobacillus plantarum by heating the Lactobacillus plantarum cell as described above. The present invention also provides an antitumor agent comprising heat-treated cells of Lactobacillus plantarum produced by such a method.

本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤は、その加熱処理前の生菌体と比較して、増強された腫瘍増殖抑制効果を示す。本発明において増殖抑制の対象となる「腫瘍」は、悪性腫瘍であっても良性腫瘍であってもよいが、悪性腫瘍が特に好ましい。悪性腫瘍としては、線維肉腫、リンパ腫、粘液肉腫、脂肪肉腫、軟骨肉腫、骨肉腫、横紋筋肉腫、平滑筋肉腫、血管肉腫、悪性リンパ腫、腺癌、扁平上皮癌、移行上皮癌などが挙げられるが、これらに限定されない。本発明において増殖抑制の対象となる腫瘍の具体例としては、例えば、肺癌、乳癌、胃癌、腎癌、大腸癌(直腸癌、結腸癌、盲腸癌)、頭頸部癌、脳腫瘍、肝癌、子宮癌(子宮頸癌、子宮体癌)、卵巣癌、甲状腺癌、前立腺癌、食道癌、膵癌、胆道癌、膀胱癌、悪性リンパ腫、骨髄腫、骨肉腫、ユーイング肉腫、皮膚癌、黒色腫、白血病などが挙げられるが、これらに限定されない。   The heat-treated microbial cell of Lactobacillus plantarum according to the present invention and the antitumor agent containing the same show an enhanced tumor growth inhibitory effect as compared to the live microbial cell before the heat treatment. In the present invention, the “tumor” subject to growth inhibition may be a malignant tumor or a benign tumor, but a malignant tumor is particularly preferable. Malignant tumors include fibrosarcoma, lymphoma, myxosarcoma, liposarcoma, chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, malignant lymphoma, adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, etc. However, it is not limited to these. Specific examples of tumors targeted for growth inhibition in the present invention include, for example, lung cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, kidney cancer, colon cancer (rectal cancer, colon cancer, cecal cancer), head and neck cancer, brain tumor, liver cancer, uterine cancer. (Cervical cancer, endometrial cancer), ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, biliary tract cancer, bladder cancer, malignant lymphoma, myeloma, osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, skin cancer, melanoma, leukemia, etc. However, it is not limited to these.

本発明における「腫瘍増殖抑制効果」は、例えば、後述の実施例に記載の移植腫瘍増殖抑制試験方法に従って評価することができる。簡単に説明すると、マウス(例えば、5週齢のBALB/c系統の雌マウス)に、本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体を含む生理食塩水を一定期間(例えば3週間)にわたり定期的に(典型的には毎日1回)投与(例えば、経口投与)した後、適当量(例えば、1×106細胞)の腫瘍(例えばMeth-A腫瘍)をマウス鼠経部皮下に移植し、移植後も定期的に(例えば隔日で)加熱処理菌体の経口投与を継続する。腫瘍移植後、経時的に腫瘍のサイズを測定する。具体的には、腫瘍の長径と短径をノギスで計測し、その積の平方根を腫瘍サイズとして算出する。対照群として、本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体の代わりに生理食塩水を投与して、同様に腫瘍を移植したマウスについても経時的に腫瘍サイズを測定する。このようにして腫瘍サイズを測定し、移植後一定期間経過後(例えば、移植の18日後)、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体を投与したマウスにおいて、対照群と比較して、統計学的に有意に腫瘍サイズの増加率が低減されていれば、腫瘍増殖抑制効果を有すると評価できる。 The “tumor growth inhibitory effect” in the present invention can be evaluated, for example, according to the transplanted tumor growth inhibition test method described in Examples described later. Briefly, mice (for example, 5-week-old BALB / c female mice) are treated with physiological saline containing Lactobacillus plantarum heat-treated cells according to the present invention for a certain period (for example, 3 weeks). Regularly (typically once daily) over a period of time (eg, oral administration), then an appropriate amount (eg, 1 × 10 6 cells) of a tumor (eg, Meth-A tumor) is subcutaneously injected into the mouse vaginal region After the transplantation, oral administration of the heat-treated cells is continued regularly (for example, every other day). After tumor implantation, the size of the tumor is measured over time. Specifically, the major axis and minor axis of the tumor are measured with calipers, and the square root of the product is calculated as the tumor size. As a control group, physiological saline is administered in place of the heat-treated cells of Lactobacillus plantarum according to the present invention, and the tumor size is also measured over time for mice similarly transplanted with tumor. In this way, the tumor size was measured, and after a certain period of time after transplantation (for example, 18 days after transplantation), in mice administered with heat-treated cells of Lactobacillus plantarum, statistics were compared with the control group. If the increase rate of the tumor size is significantly reduced, it can be evaluated that it has a tumor growth inhibitory effect.

本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤はまた、その腫瘍増殖抑制効果に関して、極めて幅広い薬効投与量域を有する。本発明において薬効投与量域とは、毒性を示すことなく腫瘍増殖抑制効果をもたらすのに有効である、薬剤の下限用量から上限用量までの範囲を意味する。本発明では、上記の移植腫瘍増殖抑制試験において、有害な影響が観察されることなく、対照群と比較して統計学的に有意な腫瘍サイズ増加率の低減をもたらした用量範囲は、薬効投与量域に含まれるものとする。薬効投与量域は、その幅に基づいて評価することができる。すなわち、薬効投与量域の下限用量に対する上限用量の倍率が大きい程、幅広い投与量で腫瘍増殖抑制効果をもたらすことができて有利である。本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤は、以下に限定するものではないが、例えば、35倍以上、好ましくは45倍以上の幅の薬効投与量域を有するものであり得る。特に、低温加熱処理によって得られる本発明に係る加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤は、低用量でも増強された腫瘍増殖抑制効果を発揮することができるため、投与量を低減することができて有利である。本発明に係る加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤の投与量は、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体の乾燥重量で、例えば0.001〜200mg/体重kg/日、例えば0.001〜50mg/体重kg/日又は0.001〜5mg/体重kg/日に低減することができる。   The heat-treated microbial cells of Lactobacillus plantarum according to the present invention and the antitumor agent containing the same also have a very wide medicinal dosage range with respect to the tumor growth inhibitory effect. In the present invention, the medicinal dose range means a range from the lower limit dose to the upper limit dose of a drug that is effective for producing a tumor growth inhibitory effect without showing toxicity. In the present invention, in the transplanted tumor growth inhibition test, the dose range that resulted in a statistically significant reduction in the tumor size increase rate compared to the control group without any adverse effects was observed. It shall be included in the quantity range. The medicinal dose range can be evaluated based on the range. That is, the larger the magnification of the upper limit dose relative to the lower limit dose in the medicinal dose range, the more advantageous it is that a tumor growth inhibitory effect can be achieved with a wider dose. The heat-treated bacterial cells of Lactobacillus plantarum according to the present invention and the antitumor agent containing the same are not limited to the following, but, for example, a medicinal dose range of 35 times or more, preferably 45 times or more It may have. In particular, the heat-treated microbial cells according to the present invention obtained by low-temperature heat treatment and the antitumor agent containing the same can exert an enhanced tumor growth inhibitory effect even at a low dose, so that the dose can be reduced. It is possible and advantageous. The dosage of the heat-treated cells according to the present invention and the antitumor agent containing the same is, for example, 0.001 to 200 mg / kg body weight / day, for example, 0.001 to 50 mg / day, based on the dry weight of the heat-treated cells of Lactobacillus plantarum. It can be reduced to body weight kg / day or 0.001-5 mg / kg body weight / day.

本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤はまた、サイトカイン(例えば、TNF-α、IFN-γ及びIL-12)の産生を増強することができる。本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤はまた、サイトカイン、特にTNF-αを産生するM1マクロファージの活性化を顕著に促進することができる。本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤は、さらに、サイトカイン、特にIL-12を産生するT細胞の活性化を顕著に促進することができる。本発明に係るラクトバチルス・プランタラムの加熱処理菌体及びそれを含む抗腫瘍剤は、そのようなサイトカインの増強により、全身免疫を増強することもできる。   The heat-treated bacterium of Lactobacillus plantarum according to the present invention and the antitumor agent containing the same can also enhance the production of cytokines (eg, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-12). The heat-treated cell of Lactobacillus plantarum according to the present invention and the antitumor agent containing the same can also significantly promote the activation of M1, macrophages that produce cytokines, particularly TNF-α.

[Example 2] Transplant tumor growth inhibition test
Five-week-old BALB / c strain female mice (average body weight approximately 16 g) were used as control group, P1 administration group (0.2 mg group, 10 mg group), P2 administration group (0.2 mg group, 10 mg group) and P3 administration group (0.2 6 animals were assigned to each group (mg group, 10 mg group). The P1, P2 and P3 suspensions given to the mice of the administration group were prepared by mixing 10 mg or 0.2 mg of each of the samples P1, P2 and P3 prepared in Example 1 with 0.2 mL of physiological saline. Mice of each administration group were orally administered with a designated suspension (10 mg or 0.2 mg of P1, P2 or P3 / 0.2 mL) once a day for 3 weeks using a sonde. The day after the last day of the administration period, mouse fibrosarcoma Meth-A (provided by Tohoku University Cell Center) 1 × 10 6 cells were transplanted subcutaneously into the vaginal region of the mouse. Every other day after transplantation, oral administration of each designated suspension using a sonde was continued. The mice in the control group were orally administered and transplanted in the same manner as in the administration group except that physiological saline (0.2 mL) was used instead of the suspension. After tumor transplantation, the major axis and minor axis of the tumor were measured over time with calipers, the square root of the product was calculated as the tumor size, and the transition of tumor growth was evaluated therefrom. The obtained data were subjected to Tukey or Dunnnet's multiple comparison test after one-way analysis of variance. Statistical significance level was less than 5%.

結果を図1に示す。図1Aに示されるとおり、10mg/日の投与量の場合、P2、P3投与群では高い腫瘍増殖抑制効果が認められたが(対照群に対してp<0.01)、P1投与群では有意な腫瘍増殖抑制作用は認められなかった。一方、図1Bに示されるとおり、0.2mg/日の投与量の場合、P3投与群では高い腫瘍増殖抑制効果が認められたが(対照群に対してp<0.05)、P1投与群、P2投与群では有意な腫瘍増殖抑制作用は認められなかった。なお10mg/日及び0.2mg/日のいずれの投与量でも、マウスにおいて有害な影響は観察されなかった。   The results are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1A, when the dose was 10 mg / day, a high tumor growth inhibitory effect was observed in the P2 and P3 administration groups (p <0.01 compared to the control group), but a significant tumor was observed in the P1 administration group. No growth inhibitory effect was observed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1B, when the dose was 0.2 mg / day, a high tumor growth inhibitory effect was observed in the P3 administration group (p <0.05 compared to the control group), but the P1 administration group and the P2 administration There was no significant tumor growth inhibitory effect in the group. No adverse effects were observed in mice at any dose of 10 mg / day and 0.2 mg / day.

この結果は、生菌体(P1)では腫瘍増殖抑制効果が認められなかったにもかかわらず、加熱処理(P2、P3)することにより腫瘍増殖抑制効果が付与されたこと、さらに、比較的低温で加熱処理(P3)することにより、腫瘍増殖抑制効果がさらに増強され、高用量だけでなく低用量でも腫瘍増殖抑制効果を得られたことを示している。上記の結果は、サンプルP3の薬効投与量域が、少なくとも50倍の幅を有することも示している。すなわち、乳酸菌を低温加熱処理することにより、生菌体と比較して腫瘍増殖抑制効果を増強することができ、また腫瘍増殖抑制に有効な投与量(薬効投与量域)をより広範囲に拡張できることが示された。   This result shows that the tumor growth inhibitory effect was imparted by heat treatment (P2, P3) despite the fact that the live cell body (P1) did not show the tumor growth inhibitory effect. It was shown that the tumor growth inhibitory effect was further enhanced by the heat treatment (P3), and that the tumor growth inhibitory effect was obtained not only at a high dose but also at a low dose. The above results also show that the medicinal dose range of sample P3 has a width of at least 50 times. In other words, low-temperature heat treatment of lactic acid bacteria can enhance the tumor growth inhibitory effect compared to viable bacterial cells, and can expand the dose (effective dose range) effective for tumor growth inhibition to a wider range. It has been shown.

[実施例3] 宿主免疫能の変化
サンプルP1、P2及びP3の投与による宿主免疫能の変化を抗腫瘍中和試験Winn assay(Saito M, et al., (1984) Int. J. Cancer, 33: p.271-276)を用いて評価した。
5週齢のBALB/c系統の雌マウスを対照群、P1投与群、P2投与群及びP3投与群の各群にそれぞれ6匹ずつ割りつけた。P1、P2及びP3投与群のマウスには、実施例2と同様にして調製した懸濁液(10mgのP1、P2又はP3/0.2mL/日)を3週間にわたり毎日1回ゾンデを用いて経口投与した。投与期間最終日の翌日に、Meth-A腫瘍1×106細胞をマウスの鼠経部皮下に移植した。対照群のマウスには、懸濁液に代えて生理食塩液(0.2mL)を用いること以外は、投与群と同じスケジュールで同様に経口投与及び移植を行った。腫瘍移植後20日目に各群それぞれのマウスから採取した脾細胞1×107細胞と新たなMeth-A腫瘍1×106細胞を混和(脾細胞数:腫瘍細胞数=30:1)し、それぞれ新たな6匹の5週齢のBALB/cマウスの鼠経部皮下に移植した。さらに、Meth-A腫瘍単独移植群として、マウス脾細胞と混和することなくMeth-A腫瘍単独を、6匹の5週齢のBALB/c雌マウスの鼠経部皮下に移植した。これらの腫瘍移植後、経時的に腫瘍の長径と短径をノギスで計測し、その積の平方根を腫瘍サイズとして算出し、そこから腫瘍増殖の推移を評価した。得られたデータについては、一元配置分散分析の後、Tukeyの多重比較検定を行った。統計的有意水準は5%未満とした。
[Example 3] Changes in host immunity The changes in host immunity caused by administration of samples P1, P2 and P3 were determined by antitumor neutralization test Winn assay (Saito M, et al., (1984) Int. J. Cancer, 33 : p.271-276).
Six 5-week-old BALB / c female mice were assigned to each of the control group, the P1 administration group, the P2 administration group, and the P3 administration group. For mice in the P1, P2 and P3 groups, a suspension (10 mg of P1, P2 or P3 / 0.2 mL / day) prepared in the same manner as in Example 2 was orally administered once a day for 3 weeks using a sonde. Administered. The day after the last day of the administration period, Meth-A tumor 1 × 10 6 cells were implanted subcutaneously in the vagina of the mouse. The mice in the control group were orally administered and transplanted in the same manner as in the administration group except that physiological saline (0.2 mL) was used instead of the suspension. On the 20th day after tumor transplantation, spleen cells 1 × 10 7 cells collected from each group of mice and new Meth-A tumor 1 × 10 6 cells were mixed (spleen cell number: tumor cell number = 30: 1). Each was transplanted subcutaneously into the vagina of six new 5-week-old BALB / c mice. Further, as a Meth-A tumor single transplant group, Meth-A tumor alone was transplanted subcutaneously into the vagina of six 5-week-old BALB / c female mice without mixing with mouse spleen cells. After transplanting these tumors, the major axis and minor axis of the tumor were measured with a caliper over time, and the square root of the product was calculated as the tumor size, from which the transition of tumor growth was evaluated. The obtained data were subjected to Tukey's multiple comparison test after one-way analysis of variance. Statistical significance level was less than 5%.

結果を図2に示す。図2に示される通り、P1、P2、P3投与群では、Meth-A腫瘍単独移植群と比較して有意な腫瘍増殖抑制効果を示したが、対照群では有意差が認められなかった。またP3投与群では、対照群、P1群と比較して有意な腫瘍増殖抑制効果が認められた。
以上の結果は、低温加熱処理物(P3)の投与により、脾細胞中に強い腫瘍増殖抑制作用を有する免疫細胞群を誘導できたことを示している。
The results are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the P1, P2, and P3 administration groups showed a significant tumor growth inhibitory effect as compared to the Meth-A tumor single transplant group, but no significant difference was observed in the control group. In addition, a significant tumor growth inhibitory effect was observed in the P3 administration group compared to the control group and the P1 group.
The above results indicate that administration of the low-temperature heat-treated product (P3) can induce an immune cell group having a strong tumor growth inhibitory effect in spleen cells.

[実施例4] マウスパイエル氏板細胞におけるサイトカイン産生能に対する効果
経口投与した乳酸菌は、消化管のパイエル氏板の主にマクロファージに取り込まれ、宿主免疫を賦活すると考えられている(Hiramatsu Y., et al., Cytotechnology (2011) 63:307-317; Mowat A. M. and Bain C.C., J. Innate Immun., (2011) 3:550-564)。そこで、サンプルP1、P2及びP3がパイエル氏板の免疫細胞に及ぼす影響を、サイトカイン(TNF-α、IL-10、及びIFN-γ)産生誘導能に基づいて検討した。
[Example 4] Effect on cytokine-producing ability in mouse Peyer's plate cells Orally administered lactic acid bacteria are thought to be taken up mainly by macrophages in Peyer's plate of the digestive tract and activate host immunity (Hiramatsu Y., et al., Cytotechnology (2011) 63: 307-317; Mowat AM and Bain CC, J. Innate Immun., (2011) 3: 550-564). Therefore, the influence of samples P1, P2 and P3 on Peyer's plaque immune cells was examined based on the ability to induce cytokine (TNF-α, IL-10, and IFN-γ) production.

具体的には、6週齢のBALB/c系統の雌マウスのパイエル氏板を採取し、コラゲナーゼ処理(コラゲナーゼ1mg/ml、37℃で1時間)した後、5%ウシ胎児血清(FCS)添加RPMI培地にて細胞浮遊液(2.5×106細胞/ml)を調製した。得られた細胞浮遊液に、実施例1で調製したサンプルP1、P2、又はP3を最終濃度0.1μg/ml(TNF-α、IL-10測定群)又は1μg/ml(IFN-γ測定群)で添加し、5%CO2下、37℃で3日間(IFN-γ測定群)又は7日間(TNF-α測定群及びIL-10測定群)培養した後、上清中のサイトカイン濃度(TNF-α、IL-10、又はIFN-γ)をELISA法で測定した。測定結果に基づき、抗腫瘍作用を誘導するM1マクロファージ及び免疫抑制作用を誘導するM2マクロファージの活性化(Hiramatsu Y., et al., Cytotechnology (2011) 63:307-317; Mowat A. M. and Bain C.C., J. Innate Immun., (2011) 3:550-564)を、それぞれTNF-α産生能とIL-10産生能で評価した(図3)。同様に、測定結果に基づき、抗腫瘍作用を誘導するT細胞の活性化をIFN-γ産生能で評価した(図4)。 Specifically, Peyer's plaques of 6-week-old BALB / c female mice were collected, treated with collagenase (collagenase 1 mg / ml, 1 hour at 37 ° C.), and then added with 5% fetal calf serum (FCS) A cell suspension (2.5 × 10 6 cells / ml) was prepared in RPMI medium. In the obtained cell suspension, the sample P1, P2, or P3 prepared in Example 1 was added at a final concentration of 0.1 μg / ml (TNF-α, IL-10 measurement group) or 1 μg / ml (IFN-γ measurement group). And cultured at 37 ° C. for 3 days (IFN-γ measurement group) or 7 days (TNF-α measurement group and IL-10 measurement group) under 5% CO 2 , and then the cytokine concentration in the supernatant (TNF -α, IL-10, or IFN-γ) was measured by ELISA. Based on the measurement results, activation of M1 macrophages that induce antitumor action and M2 macrophages that induce immunosuppressive action (Hiramatsu Y., et al., Cytotechnology (2011) 63: 307-317; Mowat AM and Bain CC, J. Innate Immun., (2011) 3: 550-564) was evaluated by TNF-α production ability and IL-10 production ability, respectively (FIG. 3). Similarly, based on the measurement results, activation of T cells that induce antitumor effects was evaluated by IFN-γ production ability (FIG. 4).

図3Aに示される通り、TNF-αはP3刺激によってのみ産生された。したがって、サンプルP3は抗腫瘍作用を誘導するM1マクロファージを強く誘導(活性化)することが示された。一方、IL-10産生能についてはサンプルP1〜P3間で違いが認められなかったことから、サンプルP3は免疫抑制作用を誘導するM2マクロファージの活性化に対しては影響を及ぼさないことが示された。さらに、図4に示される通り、P3刺激はIFN-γ産生能を増強させたことから、サンプルP3は抗腫瘍作用を誘導するT細胞を強く誘導(活性化)することが示された。   As shown in FIG. 3A, TNF-α was produced only by P3 stimulation. Therefore, sample P3 was shown to strongly induce (activate) M1 macrophages that induce antitumor effects. On the other hand, no difference was observed between samples P1 and P3 in terms of IL-10 production ability, indicating that sample P3 has no effect on the activation of M2 macrophages that induce immunosuppressive action. It was. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, since P3 stimulation enhanced IFN-γ production ability, it was shown that sample P3 strongly induces (activates) T cells that induce antitumor action.

[実施例5] マウス脾臓細胞におけるサイトカイン産生能に対する効果
サンプルP1、P2及びP3の投与が全身免疫に及ぼす影響を、脾臓細胞におけるサイトカイン(IL-12及びIFN-γ)産生能で評価した。IL-12はマクロファージや樹状細胞などから産生され、NK細胞の活性化やリンパ球からのIFN-γの産生を促進する。IFN-γには抗腫瘍作用やNK細胞活性化作用がある。いずれもNK細胞活性化を始めとする全身免疫の活性化において大きな役割を果たしている。
[Example 5] Effect on cytokine production ability in mouse spleen cells The effect of administration of samples P1, P2 and P3 on systemic immunity was evaluated by cytokine (IL-12 and IFN-γ) production ability in spleen cells. IL-12 is produced from macrophages and dendritic cells, and promotes activation of NK cells and production of IFN-γ from lymphocytes. IFN-γ has antitumor and NK cell activation effects. Both play a major role in the activation of systemic immunity including NK cell activation.

具体的には、まず、6週齢のBALB/c系統の雌マウスから採取した脾臓を、5%ウシ胎児血清(FCS)添加RPMI培地中で200メッシュのナイロンスクリーン上にのせ、1mlシリンジのプランジャーを用いて破砕して細胞浮遊液を調製することにより、脾臓細胞を調製した(2.5×106細胞/ml)。得られた脾臓細胞の細胞浮遊液に、実施例1で調製したサンプルP1、P2、又はP3を最終濃度1μg/ml(IL-12測定群)又は0.01μg/ml(IFN-γ測定群)で添加し、5%CO2下、37℃で72時間培養した後、上清中のサイトカイン濃度(IL-12、又はIFN-γ)をELISA法で測定した。 Specifically, first, the spleen collected from a 6-week-old BALB / c female mouse was placed on a 200-mesh nylon screen in RPMI medium supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum (FCS), and the 1 ml syringe plan Spleen cells were prepared by crushing using a jar to prepare a cell suspension (2.5 × 10 6 cells / ml). In the obtained spleen cell suspension, the sample P1, P2, or P3 prepared in Example 1 was added at a final concentration of 1 μg / ml (IL-12 measurement group) or 0.01 μg / ml (IFN-γ measurement group). After adding and culturing at 37 ° C. for 72 hours under 5% CO 2 , the cytokine concentration (IL-12 or IFN-γ) in the supernatant was measured by ELISA.

その結果、P3刺激はP1刺激の約5倍高いIL-12産生能(図5A)、またP1刺激の約1.6倍高いIFN-γ産生能(図5B)を示した。この結果から、サンプルP3は、全身免疫を増強し、抗腫瘍効果をより高めたことが示された。   As a result, P3 stimulation showed IL-12 production ability (FIG. 5A) about 5 times higher than P1 stimulation and IFN-γ production ability (FIG. 5B) about 1.6 times higher than P1 stimulation. From this result, it was shown that sample P3 enhanced systemic immunity and further enhanced the antitumor effect.
