Description

本発明は、加齢(老化)に伴って発生する記憶・学習能の低下の予防・改善剤および/または加齢(老化)に伴って発生する記憶・学習能の低下の予防・改善作用を有する飲食品に関する。 The present invention provides a preventive / ameliorating agent for deterioration of memory / learning ability that occurs with aging (aging) and / or a preventive / ameliorating effect of deterioration of memory / learning ability that occurs with aging (aging). Regarding food and drink to have.

わが国は2010年に65歳以上の高齢者人口が全人口の21%を突破し超高齢社会へと突入した。高齢者の割合は今後も増加していくことが予想されており、2060年には40%に達するとされている。このような状況の中で、医療、福祉など増加する高齢人口の問題に対応することが喫緊の課題となっている。 In 2010, the elderly population aged 65 and over exceeded 21% of the total population, and Japan entered a super-aging society. The proportion of elderly people is expected to continue to increase, reaching 40% by 2060. Under such circumstances, it is an urgent issue to deal with the problems of the increasing elderly population such as medical care and welfare.

高齢人口の増加に伴い、中高年層の記憶・学習能の低下などの認知機能障害や認知症の増加が問題視されている。一般的に、加齢に伴い脳の神経細胞の微細構造に変化が起こり、異常タンパク質の沈着や細胞の脱落を経て、脳が萎縮していくことにより、認知機能が低下していくと考えられている。これらの加齢変化に加えて、脳梗塞や脳出血、異常タンパク質の過剰な蓄積などの要因が加わり、認知機能が病的に低下した状態が認知症である。 With the increase in the elderly population, the increase in cognitive dysfunction and dementia such as deterioration of memory and learning ability of middle-aged and elderly people is regarded as a problem. In general, it is thought that the microstructure of nerve cells in the brain changes with aging, and cognitive function declines as the brain atrophies through abnormal protein deposition and cell shedding. ing. Dementia is a condition in which cognitive function is pathologically impaired due to factors such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and excessive accumulation of abnormal proteins in addition to these age-related changes.

2012年時点で65歳以上の高齢者のうち、認知症患者は推計15%にあたる約462万人、認知症予備軍と呼ばれる軽度認知障害者は約400万人に上るとされ、現在の日本は「認知症800万人時代」といわれている。 As of 2012, among the elderly aged 65 and over, the number of dementia patients is estimated to be about 4.62 million, and the number of people with mild cognitive impairment called the dementia reserve army is estimated to be about 4 million. It is said to be "the age of 8 million people with dementia."

認知症に対する治療薬の開発が進められているが、現時点では進行を遅らせることを目的として使用されるものであり、根本的な治療には至っていない。一方、健常な高齢者や認知症の前駆状態として位置付けられている軽度認知障害の高齢者においては、食生活の見直しや運動など適切な介入を行うことにより、記憶・学習能などの認知機能の低下を予防または改善、さらには認知症発症リスクを低減できる可能性が示されている(精神経誌 111, 26−30, (2009))。このことから、日々の生活の中で継続して摂取することができ、かつ安全性が高く副作用のない飲食物への関心が高まっている。 The development of therapeutic agents for dementia is underway, but at present, it is used for the purpose of delaying the progression and has not reached a radical treatment. On the other hand, in healthy elderly people and elderly people with mild cognitive impairment, which is positioned as a precursor of dementia, cognitive functions such as memory and learning ability can be improved by reviewing dietary habits and performing appropriate interventions such as exercise. It has been shown that the decline can be prevented or ameliorated, and the risk of developing dementia can be reduced (Spirit Neurology 111, 26-30, (2009)). For this reason, there is increasing interest in foods and drinks that can be continuously ingested in daily life, are safe, and have no side effects.

乳酸菌は、チーズやヨーグルト、漬物などの発酵食品や乳酸菌飲料など多岐にわたり利用されており、比較的安価に供給できる上、その高い嗜好性から世界中で古くから大量に生産されている。最近では、便秘防止、下痢改善などの整腸作用、感染症の予防、免疫賦活作用など、健康上好ましい保健効果も有する健康食品として注目されている。老化や認知機能に関連したものでは、ラクトバチルス・ガセリやビフィドバクテリウム・ロングムが加齢に伴う代謝異常に対して有効であること(特許5155961、特許5155960)、ラクトバチルス・ロイテリー DSM 17938株が幼若哺乳動物の認知機能の発達に有効であること(特表2015−503913)などが開示されている。 Lactic acid bacteria are widely used in fermented foods such as cheese, yogurt, and pickles, and lactic acid bacteria beverages. They can be supplied at a relatively low price, and because of their high palatability, they have been mass-produced all over the world for a long time. Recently, it has been attracting attention as a health food having favorable health effects such as prevention of constipation, improvement of diarrhea and other intestinal regulation, prevention of infectious diseases, and immunostimulatory effect. Regarding aging and cognitive function, Lactobacillus gasseri and Bifidobacterium longum are effective against age-related metabolic abnormalities (Patent 5155961, Patent 51595960), Lactobacillus reutery DSM 17938 strain. Is effective for the development of cognitive function in juvenile mammals (Special Table 2015-503913) and the like are disclosed.

しかしながら、加齢に伴って発生する記憶・学習能の低下に対するラクトバチルス属に属するヘテロ発酵型乳酸桿菌の作用については、未だ明らかでない。 However, the action of the heterofermentative lactic acid bacillus belonging to the genus Lactobacillus on the deterioration of memory and learning ability that occurs with aging is not yet clear.

線虫Caenorhabditis elegans(以下、C. elegansとする)は、302個のニューロンからなるシンプルな神経回路を用いて、様々な外部刺激を感知し、多様な応答行動をとることができる。線虫は、一定の温度で飼育されるとその飼育温度を快適な温度として記憶するため、温度勾配の上におくと過去の飼育温度へ向かうという習性を示す。例えば、23℃で飼育されたC. elegansは餌のない17℃から23℃までの温度勾配の上におかれた場合、1時間後には23℃付近へと移動する。さらに、23℃を記憶していたC. elegansを新たな温度である17℃で飼育すると、約4時間で新たな温度17℃の記憶を獲得し、温度勾配の上で17℃付近へと移動するようになる(Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 72, 4061-4065 (1975); Genetics, 169, 1437-1450 (2005); J. Neurosci. Methods, 154, 45-52 (2006))。この習性は温度走性とよばれ、記憶や学習といった神経機能の可塑性を反映したすぐれたモデル系であることが知られる(Curr. Opin. Neurobiol., 17, 712-719 (2007))。 C. elegans Caenorhabditis elegans (hereinafter referred to as C. elegans) can sense various external stimuli and take various response behaviors by using a simple neural circuit consisting of 302 neurons. C. elegans memorizes the breeding temperature as a comfortable temperature when bred at a constant temperature, and therefore shows a habit of moving toward the past breeding temperature when placed on a temperature gradient. For example, C.I. When the elegans are placed on a food-free temperature gradient from 17 ° C to 23 ° C, they move to around 23 ° C after 1 hour. Furthermore, C.I. When elegans are bred at a new temperature of 17 ° C, they acquire a memory of the new temperature of 17 ° C in about 4 hours and move to around 17 ° C on a temperature gradient (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 72, 4061-4065 (1975); Genetics, 169, 1437-1450 (2005); J. Neurosci. Methods, 154, 45-52 (2006)). This habit is called thermotaxis and is known to be an excellent model system that reflects the plasticity of neural functions such as memory and learning (Curr. Opin. Neurobiol., 17, 712-719 (2007)).

発明者らの過去のレーザーによるニューロンの破壊実験から、温度走性行動に必要なニューロンが明らかにされており、温度走性行動はきわめてシンプルな神経回路を基盤とすることが知られている(Nature, 376, 344-348 (1995))。また、発明者らの研究グループは、温度記憶が形成される過程をゲノムワイドなマイクロアレイ解析、分子遺伝学的な手法とイメージング技術により解析した。その結果、C. elegansは飼育温度を記憶する際に、転写因子であるHSF−1を介して周囲の温度を全身で受容していることを見い出した。さらに、この温度の受容は遺伝子の発現変化をひき起こし、その結果、温度シグナルは女性ホルモンであるエストロゲンを介して神経回路の温度受容ニューロンであるAFDニューロンに記憶として蓄積されることが示された(Nat. Neurosci., 14, 984-92 (2011))。 The inventors' past experiments on neuron destruction by laser have revealed the neurons required for thermotactic behavior, and it is known that thermotactic behavior is based on a very simple neural circuit (). Nature, 376, 344-348 (1995)). In addition, the inventor's research group analyzed the process of temperature memory formation by genome-wide microarray analysis, molecular genetic techniques, and imaging techniques. As a result, C.I. Elegans found that when memorizing the breeding temperature, the whole body received the ambient temperature via the transcription factor HSF-1. Furthermore, it was shown that the reception of this temperature causes a change in gene expression, and as a result, the temperature signal is accumulated as a memory in the AFD neuron, which is a temperature-receptor neuron of the neural circuit, via the female hormone estrogen. (Nat. Neurosci., 14, 984-92 (2011)).

更に、発明者らは、記憶を担う代表的な転写因子CREBのC. elegansにおけるオルソログの機能する細胞を探索した結果、CREBのオルソログはたった一つ、AFDニューロンでのみ機能することを見い出している(EMBO Rep., 12, 855-862 (2011))。つまり、C. elegansのすべてのニューロンのなかでも、AFDニューロンはCREBを介した温度記憶をもつ唯一のニューロンであることが示された。これらの研究から、温度記憶が形成される際の分子機構の一端が明らかになっている。 Furthermore, the inventors have found that CREB, a representative transcription factor responsible for memory, C.I. As a result of searching for cells that function in orthologs in elegans, we have found that only one CREB ortholog functions in AFD neurons (EMBO Rep., 12, 855-862 (2011)). That is, C.I. Of all neurons in elegans, AFD neurons have been shown to be the only neurons with CREB-mediated temperature memory. These studies reveal some of the molecular mechanisms by which temperature memory is formed.

線虫と哺乳動物は進化系統上離れているものの、細胞レベルの分子機構は共通する部分が大きい。哺乳動物において記憶に関わることが知られている分子が線虫の温度走性にも関与することが報告されている。例えば、哺乳類で記憶に関わる因子CREB(線虫ではCRH−1)は、線虫の温度記憶の獲得に関与すること(EMBO Rep., 12, 855-862 (2011))、哺乳類で記憶に関わる脳内伝達物質であるセロトニンは、線虫の温度走性を制御していること(PLoS One., 8, 1-10 (2013))、哺乳類で記憶に関わる因子カルシニューリン(線虫ではRCAN−1)は、線虫の温度走性行動に関わること(J. Mol. Biol., 427, 3457-3468 (2015))など多数の報告がされている。 Although nematodes and mammals are evolutionarily distant, they have much in common in their cellular-level molecular mechanisms. It has been reported that molecules known to be involved in memory in mammals are also involved in the temperature tactics of C. elegans. For example, the memory-related factor CREB (CRH-1 in C. elegans) in mammals is involved in the acquisition of temperature memory in C. elegans (EMBO Rep., 12, 855-862 (2011)), and is involved in memory in C. elegans. Serotonin, a brain mediator, regulates the temperature motility of C. elegans (PLoS One., 8, 1-10 (2013)), and the memory-related factor calcinurine in C. elegans (RCAN-1 in C. elegans). ) Has been reported to be involved in the temperature-running behavior of nematodes (J. Mol. Biol., 427, 3457-3468 (2015)).

更に、線虫で神経系に対する有効性が認められる成分が、哺乳動物においても脳・神経系に対する効果を示す事例が報告されている。即ち、経口摂取したαリポ酸は、加齢で低下した線虫及び哺乳動物の連合学習行動を改善すること(Neurobiol. Aging., 26, 899-905 (2005); J. Med. Food. 15, 713-7 (2012))、経口摂取したクルクミンは、線虫及び哺乳動物において、加齢に伴う認知障害を改善すること(Neurobiol. Aging., 39, 69-81 (2016); Geroscience., 40, 73-95 (2018))などが報告されている。 Furthermore, there have been reports of cases in which a component that has been shown to be effective against the nervous system in nematodes also has an effect on the brain and nervous system in mammals. That is, orally ingested α-lipoic acid improves age-related decreased nematode and mammalian associative learning behavior (Neurobiol. Aging., 26, 899-905 (2005); J. Med. Food. 15). , 713-7 (2012)), Orally ingested curcumin improves age-related cognitive impairment in nematodes and mammals (Neurobiol. Aging., 39, 69-81 (2016); Geroscience., 40, 73-95 (2018)) etc. have been reported.

これらのことから、C. elegansの温度走性行動は温度の受容と記憶の分子機構を解析することに適したモデル系と考えられている。 From these things, C.I. The thermotactic behavior of elegans is considered to be a suitable model system for analyzing the molecular mechanism of temperature reception and memory.

[Test Example 1] Evaluation of lactic acid bacteria that prevent and / or improve the deterioration of memory / learning ability that occurs with aging (aging) C.I. Elegans used a wild-type N2 strain and was bred according to the "Nematode Lab Manual".
1. 1. Test Method (1) Test Bacteria Strains of heterofermentative lactic acid bacilli belonging to the genus Lactobacillus shown in Table 1 were subjected to screening.

(2)試験手順
(i) 評価サンプルの準備
上記(1)の各供試菌をMRS培地に植菌し、37℃にて16時間静置培養を行った。培養菌体を遠心分離(7,000×g、4℃、15分)し、上清を廃棄した。菌体は生理食塩水で洗浄した後、菌体の湿重量を求め、0.05g/mlになるようにNGバッファー(0.3% NaCl、1mM CaCl、1mM MgSO、25mMリン酸緩衝液[pH6.0])に再懸濁し、C.elegans飼育用プレート(NGMプレート)に200μlずつ播種したものをサンプルプレートとした。コントロールとして、C.elegansの食餌として一般的に用いられている大腸菌OP50株を用いた。
(2) Test procedure
(i) Preparation of evaluation sample Each test bacterium of (1) above was inoculated into MRS medium and statically cultured at 37 ° C. for 16 hours. The cultured cells were centrifuged (7,000 × g, 4 ° C., 15 minutes), and the supernatant was discarded. After washing the cells with physiological saline, the wet weight of the cells was determined, and NG buffer (0.3% NaCl, 1 mM CaCl 2 , 1 mM sulfonyl 4 , 25 mM phosphate buffer) was adjusted to 0.05 g / ml. Resuspended in [pH 6.0]) and C.I. A sample plate was prepared by sowing 200 μl each on an elegans breeding plate (NGM plate). As a control, C.I. Escherichia coli OP50 strain, which is generally used as a diet for elegans, was used.

(ii) 乳酸菌を摂取した加齢成虫の準備
ブリーチ処理により回収したC.elegansの卵を、OP50を播種したプレートに播き、23℃で3日間静置し、若齢成虫を得た。この成虫をNGバッファーで回収し、乳酸菌を播種したプレートもしくはOP50を播種したプレートに移し、23℃で4日間飼育し、加齢成虫を得た。
(ii) Preparation of aging adults ingested with lactic acid bacteria C. recovered by bleaching. Eggs of elegans were sown on a plate in which OP50 was sown and allowed to stand at 23 ° C. for 3 days to obtain young adults. The adults were collected with NG buffer, transferred to a plate in which lactic acid bacteria were sown or a plate in which OP50 was sown, and bred at 23 ° C. for 4 days to obtain aging adults.

(iii) 温度走性試験によるスクリーニング
温度走性試験は、Ito H.ら(J. Neurosci. Methods, 154, 45-52 (2006))に記載の方法に従い以下の通り実施した。二つの恒温槽を準備し、コの字型のアルミ台(21.5cm×60cm×1.5cm厚)の片方の足を低温側(5℃)に、もう片方を高温側(35℃)の恒温槽に浸すことで、アルミ台におよそ5℃から35℃までの直線状温度勾配を形成した。角型シャーレに入れた寒天プレートを20℃が中心となるようにアルミ台の上に置き、上述した若齢成虫もしくは加齢成虫をプレートの中央に放ち、一時間後の温度勾配上のC.elegansの分布を評価した。記憶・学習能は、プレートを温度勾配方向に8等分したときの飼育温度(23℃)近辺の2区画に位置したC.elegansの割合を記憶指数(Memory index)として評価した(図1)。また、ダネット型多重検定により、OP50を摂取した加齢成虫を対照としたときの有意差の有無を評価した(p<0.05を有意差ありと判定した)。
(iii) Screening by temperature taxis test The temperature taxis test is performed by Ito H. Et al. (J. Neurosci. Methods, 154, 45-52 (2006)) and the following procedure. Prepare two constant temperature baths, one foot of the U-shaped aluminum stand (21.5 cm x 60 cm x 1.5 cm thick) on the low temperature side (5 ° C) and the other on the high temperature side (35 ° C). By immersing in a constant temperature bath, a linear temperature gradient from about 5 ° C. to 35 ° C. was formed on the aluminum table. Place the agar plate in a square petri dish on an aluminum table so that the temperature is centered at 20 ° C., and release the above-mentioned young or aged adults to the center of the plate, and one hour later, C. The distribution of elegans was evaluated. The memory / learning ability was determined by C.I., which was located in two compartments near the breeding temperature (23 ° C.) when the plate was divided into eight equal parts in the temperature gradient direction. The proportion of elegans was evaluated as a memory index (FIG. 1). In addition, the presence or absence of a significant difference when an aged adult who ingested OP50 was used as a control was evaluated by a Danette-type multiple test (p <0.05 was judged to be significant).

2.試験結果
図2にスクリーニング結果を示す。若齢成虫に比べて加齢成虫で記憶指数が低下した。ヘテロ発酵型乳酸桿菌であるラクトバチルス・ハービネンシスSBT0796株、ラクトバチルス・ラムノーサスSBT2299株、ラクトバチルス・カゼイSBT2232株、ラクトバチルス・パラカゼイSBT0228株、ラクトバチルス・ファーメンタムSBT1859株、ラクトバチルス・ムコーサエSBT2958株、ラクトバチルス・ロイテリーSBT10010株を摂取した加齢成虫ではOP50を摂取したものと比べて記憶指数が有意に増加した。すなわち、上記菌体を摂取することにより、加齢(老化)に伴って発生する記憶・学習能の低下を予防および/または改善させることができることがわかった
2. 2. Test results
FIG. 2 shows the screening results. The memory index decreased in the aged adults compared to the young adults. Lactobacillus harbinensis SBT0796 strain, Lactobacillus ramnosus SBT2299 strain, Lactobacillus casei SBT2232 strain, Lactobacillus paracasei SBT0228 strain, Lactobacillus fermentum SBT1859 strain, Lactobacillus fermentum SBT1859 strain Aged adults who ingested the Lactobacillus reutery SBT10010 strain had a significantly increased memory index compared to those who ingested OP50. That is, it was found that by ingesting the above-mentioned cells, it is possible to prevent and / or improve the deterioration of memory / learning ability that occurs with aging (aging).

乳酸菌を摂取した線虫の記憶指数の結果を乳酸菌の16s rRNA配列を基にして作成した系統樹に当てはめ、乳酸菌の系統と記憶指数との間に相関関係があるか否かを検証した。その結果、系統樹のクラスターで記憶指数の値の傾向が異なり、ラクトバチルス属に属するホモ発酵型の菌株並びにロイコノストック属やビフィドバクテリウム属に属する菌株と比べて、ラクトバチルス属に属するヘテロ発酵型の菌株で高値を示した(図3、4)。ヘテロ発酵型の乳酸菌が産生する成分が線虫の温度記憶を向上させる可能性が示された。 The results of the memory index of nematodes that ingested lactic acid bacteria were applied to a phylogenetic tree created based on the 16s rRNA sequence of lactic acid bacteria, and it was verified whether there was a correlation between the strain of lactic acid bacteria and the memory index. As a result, the tendency of the memory index value differs depending on the cluster of the phylogenetic tree, and it belongs to the genus Lactobacillus as compared with the homofermentative strain belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and the strains belonging to the genus Leuconostoc and the genus Bifidobacterium. Heterofermentative strains showed high values (Figs. 3 and 4). It was shown that the components produced by heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria may improve the temperature memory of C. elegans.
